Carolyn Bearskin

Carolyn Bearskin is an influential figure on Waycrest's ruling council. She is owner of a large animal sanctuary - the Nature First Reserve - and is a strong advocate for animal rights and specifically their right to roam free and hunt in peace.

She was skeptical of Josiah Exotic's activities involving wild animals and had surreptitiously asked for the party of Grugs, Estrid Stormbringer, and Saphara Mystan to investigate him further to find evidence of wrongdoing. This drew the suspicion of Guard Captain Clerebold Quentin due to the unusual nature of requesting out of town adventurers to investigate a prominent opponent of hers, rather than the town guard, coupled with the fact that Carolyn would regularly amend guard routes to avoid patrols in the Waterways District citing "lack of resources" and "keeping the watch safe from toxic waste."

Davos Rorch referred to Carolyn as a patron of the Frugal Florists.

When Clerebold was questioned on his killing of a prisoner by fellow Captain of the Watch Destrian Earnst he was able to bluff that Carolyn had asked him to carry out the killing, which appeared to satisfy Destrian's concerns.

She has some connection to the Council of Cerberus - Ghazuul had stated once he found the Sword of Maygar Wayfarer that they could now be done with her, and his manticore commented that they would burn part of her Nature First Reserve to the ground.
