Gargamel

Background/History: Gargamel the sorcerer is the sworn enemy of The Smurfs. He is an evil wizard and alchemist, whose main goal in life is to destroy The Smurfs. He lives in a run down castle/hovel with this familiar Azrael, and from time to time, his apprentice Scruple.

Personality/Motivation: Gargamel seems to have a personal vengeance against the Smurfs, and is constantly planning their demise, capture, and uses in potions and rituals. From time to time, Gargamel has a notion to eat them. Most notably however, he hopes to find the location of the Smurf village, and to use the Smurfs as an ingredient to make gold. Despite his hatred for Papa Smurf, he has had to work with him on occasion to battle a common evil, but after this compromise passes, he returns to his evil tricky ol' self. Gargamel created Sassette with magic, and sees her as her daughter, though she lives and plays with the Smurfs.

Quote: "I hate those Smurfs!"

Powers/Tactics: Gargamel's powers center around his magical spells and potions, which always seem to be complex, requiring many different foci. His pet Azrael follows most of his commands. More often than not, his plans are foiled by the Smurfs, his mischievous familiar, or his own bumbling bad luck.

Campaign Use: In an less than serious game where the Smurfs or other fey appear, Gargamel would make a fun and bumbling antagonist.

Appearance: Gargamel walk with a perpetual stoop, wears a worn and ripped black cloak, has little hair left, and his teeth are rotted.
