Jimmy Safari

"That’s... pretty good I guess." Jimmy Safari was an Elven smuggler and associate of Selkirk Manx prior to the beginning of the Shine Thieves Saga.

Encounters
Jimmy was first seen in the Black Rag Inn in Mulmaster, alongside Selkirk. He aided the Tabaxi in assessing Tarfu’s worth during a brief interview process. Though Tarfu was unable to lift the short-statured Elf in a display of strength, Jimmy seemed suitably impressed overall and approved of his allegiance with Selkirk.

Jimmy was unable to accompany the newly formed party to The Church of Bane, as he was “too drunk to stand” after spending some time in the tavern. He instead opted to stay at his table and await the duo’s return.

The smuggler was on hand when the Shine Thieves re-entered the tavern after the disturbance at the Church, helping them to secure safe passage out of Mulmaster and into the hills that led to Talon Ridge.

Personality
Jimmy wasn’t particularly talkative, and when he did speak he preferred to use his native Elvish rather than common. His voice was low in register and gravelly, not too dissimilar to that of a pirate.

Reputation
Jimmy was a wanted man, not only in the City of Mulmaster but also across the Moonsea. For this reason, he refused to disclose his real name under any circumstances. Jimmy openly shared the fact that Safari was not his true name, explaining that he and Selkirk adopted the moniker after taking in the local wildlife during various excursions. It is assumed that a code name was necessary due to the Elf’s possible involvement in crime.

Some time prior to his residency in Mulmaster, Jimmy fell out of favour with an unknown group based in Elmwood, presumably for his involvement in smuggling activities. Although no details are known, Selkirk was quick to point out to Tarfu that he “didn’t want to know” what would happen to Jimmy if he were to return there.

it seemed even his closest acquaintances were wary of him, with Selkirk asserting to Tarfu: “The less you know about Jimmy, the better.”
