Tied into his beard are several tiny brass, gold, silver and mithril bells. There are nine bells in total. They jingle whenever he walks, talks or makes sudden head movement.

On the outside of the vest there are a total of 6 larger pockets, in the front. The backside of the vest is made so that a flap rests over another single large pocket, large enough for a thin travelling spellbook.

He considers Spittle, Pauly and Olan Coarsebeard amongst his closest friends, and values friendship above all other matters even magic.
He has a great love of music and often will provide an old legend or two to a bard just to hear it or another ballad. Or after a few drinks of the Weave wine he'll stand up on the table and sing a little jingle to the tune of his bells. He can often be found humming along to the jingling of his bells.He is enthralled with the tavern and guild.
He is always striving to improve the tavern with new magics and new artwork.
Sourei has a love of bells, and has a rather large collection of bells (all shapes and sizes) in this chamber.
Background
Sourei was born in Fellaren-Krae and lived across from the guildhall all his life. He was an avid fan of magic, collecting the rare and exotic goods. Being a gnome he enjoyed building small trinkets and gadgets. He grew up helping out within the Guild as a scribe, later becoming an apprentice to one of the inner circle members and then ultimately a member. He served three years with the militia not because of any voting that went awry, but out of personal choice.
He's been on the Wizard's Union Inner Council now for just less than 3 years. Sourei is one of four mages that makes their home within guild walls.
On one of Sourei's excursions into the forests of Cormanthor, he met and befriended a Sprite named Spittle. During that excursion he had found a rare mithril bell made by the elves of Myth Drannor. A few short months later, this bell was stolen straight from his beard as he slept. His only clue was a overly friendly elf that kept buying Sourei drinks the evening the bell was stolen. Nothing else was stolen.
Spittle, Pauly and Olan Coarsebeard are the only individuals that have heard Sourei discuss the possibility that Fellaren-Krae is home to an elven thieves guild. He is currently exploring the possibilities of any infiltration into the Wizard's Union by members of this supposed rogue's guild.
Both of Sourei's parents were killed during the Thalassan uprising. Sourei now uses his old family home as an additional warehouse for himself and for the Mixed Potion Tavern. The tavern is directly across the street from his old home.
Other Information
Sourei keeps a small black coloured mole as a familiar. The familiar is either in his quarters or hiding in one of Sourei's many pockets. The mole answers to the name, Mr Jigs. It is no bigger than Sourei's hand. Sourei gains the ability to sense vibrations through the earth and which direction the vibrations are coming from.
Mr Jigs has 2 HP, and AC 7 and is a very shy animal, remaining hidden the bulk of the time.
