Jerregobe is a wizardly-seeming man of somewhat indeterminate
age. His background is rather mysterious, and few if any know
when or where he was born. It is known that he apprenticed under
the legendary magus Harrikamon of Lower Vilg, and inherited his
master's lore upon the old man's death. During the ensuing years,
as he unraveled plots in the Vilg civil war that led to agents
of the Deceiver, Jerregobe recognized the need for a group of
those opposed to the Deceiver to gather intelligence, work behind
the scenes to counter the Deceiver, etc. As Jerregobe delved deeper,
he became to believe that signs were pointing to a final war to
be launched by the Deceiver, and he was determined to keep the
Free Folk as ready as possible when the time should come.
So Jerregobe formed a council of goodly leaders and called it the Council of White. He then overlaid atop this secret organization another called the Council of the Swan. This latter was a more active group composed of field agents gathering intelligence on the minions of the Deceiver in order to determine when the next great war would begin, and to delay that time for as long as possible.
Thus did Jerregobe work behind the thrones of many nations, always advising and warning of impending troubles, so that in many courts he eventually became unwelcomed as a harbinger of needless worrying and a rabble rouser. Nonetheless, he successfully wove a network of informants and successfully became a thorn in the side of many maugs. In 5504 Jerregobe was in Onlor when a maug attacked Algol City. The wizard quickly learned that the maug had come to find a single person who bore something of incredible import. The wizard cast a magical net to capture the bearer of the important item, and so came in possession of the map to the last Gem of Power and came to know the Heroes of the Gem. Jerregobe acted as master and mentor of the Heroes, eventually granting them their freedom once they had proven their bona fides. Nonetheless, the wizard counseled the Heroes for years, until he was implicated in a plot to assassinate the Emperor of Antoria. This accusation was false, levelled by a marilith who had infiltrated the Imperial Court. Jerregobe had merely come to try to mobilize the Antorian armies against the impending tide of evil. Jerregobe was imprisoned by the Empire, and then transferred into the custody of the marilith, who tortured him for a time before transporting him to the dungeons of Yeenoghu, where he endured inhuman torments.
Jerregobe's suffering was relieved by the paladins Gangerholt and Cromwell, who effected a heroic rescue of the wizard from the very demesne of the gnoll maug. After recuperating, the wizard gathered the Council of White and with the aid of the Heroes managed to mobilize some of the Free Forces in time to meet the initial assaults by the Deceiver. The war was well fought, but ultimately turned against the Free Folk. Jerregobe called a final council meeting with a proposal to retreat to the South Wastes and try to gain succor from the metallic dragons. Instead, the Heroes of the Gem appeared with the last Gem of Power and Bahamut revealed himself as well.
With these revelations, the Council, at Jerregobe's bequest, authorized the Heroes to bear the Gem underground to try to make for the Blanthil Forest and the Hall of Slumber. Meanwhile, Jerregobe gathered together the remainder of the Free Armies and led the epic march and assault on Mordasht.
After the War of the Gem, Jerregobe took a much needed vacation. He sojourned a time at Cromwell's estate in Onlor, and then returned to Vilgum to help to repair the shattered nation in which he had dwelt with his old master decades before. Ever preaching the need to be vigilant against the remnants of the minions of the Deceiver, Jerregobe built a tower for himself and a college for the Divinatory Arts around it. The College of the White Swan, as it is now known, is a great repository of knowledge and the greatest place to learn the arts of arcane divination.
Jerregobe still maintains loose contact with the Heroes of the Gem, though he is getting on in age and leaves his tower less and less as the seasons turn.
