Player: Hayley · Human · Sorcerer / Draconic Bloodline
Overview
Description
Old Man Jenkins is the last surviving member of the Jenkins family — a lineage so prominent that Old Town was named after them. Every other family member has mysteriously died, leaving her as the sole heir to the Jenkins legacy and the mystery surrounding their deaths.
She is a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer who flies on dragon wings, dealing massive area damage with spells like Magic Missile (level 6, 8 missiles), Chromatic Orb, and Mage Hand. Has a +3 bonus to spell attack rolls from her Amulet of the Devout.
Despite her power, she does not have healing spells and is seemingly confused about this.
Story
The Forgotten Hour
During Session 0, Jenkins joined the party tasked with entering the corrupted southern wetlands near Oovuan to find Gray Star, a powerful wizard captured by the big bad.
Notable Moments
- Revealed her family’s mysterious deaths and the Jenkins family’s naming of Old Town
- Asked where the bathroom was when the tavern doors were magically sealed
- Fired Magic Missile at level 6 (8 missiles) at the greater zombies — did not land the kill (enemy survived on 1 HP)
- Was apoplectic when Lashara’s crossbow ricocheted and stole the kill
- Helped Jock Bjorn achieve a high Insight roll revealing the secret entrance

The Quiet Year Connection
In The Quiet Year (231109), Old Man Jenkins appears as a world NPC — Terry’s brother, who entered the Swamp of Souls, returned changed with red glowing eyes, attempted a power grab on the community, was disgraced, died in the stocks, and was found with odd runes covering his body. His death and those runes are an unresolved mystery.
Hayley’s player character shares the name — she is the last surviving member of the Jenkins family, 100 years later, with every other family member mysteriously dead. Whether the two are directly related in the lore is a thread worth pulling.
The Quiet Year (Session 0)
- In Spring, Old Man Jenkins spreads the rumor that Terry Ringer’s older brother Mahonri Teri Ringer is a wendigo; the doc also records Jenkins himself returning from The Swamp of Souls changed — red eyes, a glowing aura.
- In Summer he attempts a coup of the community but is publicly humiliated and defeated by Lashara’s logic — disgraced but spared.
- He proselytizes around the risen Bishop of The Church of ITYS; his parting words to the swamp expedition are “Hold tight to each other.”
- In Winter he dies in the stocks; his corpse — covered in unknown runes — is moved to the temple doors and found by Joe Sef, then taken by the guilds and Lashara for study.
- (Source ambiguity: this session’s NPC table calls Jenkins “Terry’s brother,” yet treats Mahonri Teri Ringer as a separate figure.)

Appearances
- 250626-ch3.3 (⏱ 02:22:08) — Forgotten Hour hero; murdered (cause unknown), body disappeared before burial.
- 240125-ch0.1 (⏱ 00:26:20) — PC-hero (Haylee); illiterate draconic-bloodline sorcerer; last of the House of Old (Old Town’s namesake); deals the most damage but lands no kills; wields ‘the Auin’ amulet.
- 240208-ch0.2 (⏱ 00:20:07) — Draconic-bloodline sorcerer PC of the House of Old; Disintegrates and Dominates the bosses (Pimp, the flesh golem, the dragon Kava).
- 240222-ch0.3 (⏱ 00:13:45) — Sorcerer PC of the House of Old; detects the rhythm linking Zen’s chant to the monsters, then Sunburst/Chain Lightning and the final Disintegrate that ends Lawrence.
- 240709-ch1.3 (⏱ 00:09:44) — The party’s rogue (absent companion this session). Rikor’s gift croissant makes her violently sick, so she steps outside the Knight’s Brawler to compose herself, leaving the group without a lockpick.
- 250816-ch3.5 (⏱ 05:28:37) — A founder-hero of the Forgotten Hour with a university house named after him, later branded a heretic for accusing people of being shapeshifters and leading a coup against the church. Died in a stockade cursing Idios; his descendant line (including Gypsy Jenkins) was excommunicated.
- 250911-ch3.6 (⏱ 03:05:41) — A historical figure the church’s version paints as a lunatic and skinwalker who led a coup attempt against the church and feuded with ‘the brother of Terry.’ Honored among the school’s founding heroes; the New Old records differ from the church’s account.
- 251009-ch3.7 (⏱ 04:20:20) — A historical figure whose body bore captured runes and was never fully autopsied before disappearing; a friend of Lashara. His writings (the Book of Jenkins) accuse the brother of Terry of being a wendigo/shapeshifter, which Mutatio is trying to erase.
- 251023-ch3.8 (⏱ 05:20:16) — True identity of Mutatio, revealed when he removes his hood: bald-backed with a big beard and five glowing runes (head, hands, feet) matching a rune from a body. Believed to be dead; he says ‘you can’t kill what’s already dead.’
- 251204-ch3.10 (⏱ 23:05:05) — An NPC who was ‘up to no good’ with the Mutatio; he appears as a force-ghost saint beside Father Idias and Lashara after Legion’s defeat.
- 241113-ch2.1 (⏱ 00:25:50) — One of the fighters alongside Lashara in the battle against Zen; the city of Jenkins and the Commons gallows (where he was said to be hung) are tied to him.
- 251118-ch3.9 (⏱ 00:06:05) — The ripped, rune/tattoo-covered body (runes from the Swollen Wastes) that the shapeshifter Mutatio is puppeteering; a Forgotten-Hour figure distinct from both Mutatio and from Gypsy Jenkins / Kava Bacia.
