Zeltabbar Iliphar
Zeltabbar Iliphar is a human sage of Waterdeep. He owns a rowhouse in Trades Ward on Nethpranter's Street, and he and his two lovely daughters tend to his library. He is totally deaf, but can read lips with perfect comprehension (he knows elvish, dwarvish, and many human languages of the Realms); he can still speak, but often writes down responses on the many slate boards he has in his ground-floor office. He specializes in the languages of humanity with a minor interest in the Outer Planes.
