Latest in a long line of kobold rulers, Kol XIV's natural charm and sorcerous ability led him to unify the warring tribes of the Republic of Kol in the Broken Lands. Those same abilities were to later allow him to finagle his way into Glantrian politics- with a little assistance from the night dragon, Synn (in her guise as Dolores Hillsbury).

Though at first Kol attempted to imitate human ways in his efforts to insinuate himself into Glantrian society- at times even going so far as to wear fake moustaches and hairpieces- he has since given up these efforts. He has become more comfortable with the system of politics in the Principalities, and has begun to work independently of Princess Hillsbury. He is still determined to gain the respect and deference of his peers among the princes, but is no longer concerned with fitting in, concentrating instead on furthering the interests of the humanoids under his command by whatever means possible. Ironically, now that he has abandoned his pretence at being another "human" prince, some of the other princes are noticing that he is, in fact, a gifted politician and public speaker- truly a unique character among kobold-kind.

Kol surrounds himself with bodyguards, deigning to enter into combat. He prefers to use his diplomatic skills and spells to sway any opposition his way. No fool, however, he will not hesitate to use his powerful magic items to unleash fiery, electrical mayhem any who oppose him- or at least to buy him time to escape.

Thar's Bane: This +4 orcbane silver dagger was specially commissioned by Prince Kol as a security measure to protect him from the former orc-king of the Broken Lands. He keeps it close by his person at all times, fearful that Thar might return to claim his throne at any time.

Kol's Sceptre: The prince's symbol of office, this +1 merciful club is made of silver and gold, and studded with all manner of gemstones. Kol uses it on his underlings to keep them in line, without permanently rendering them useless to him.
