Candle Jack. Candle Jack. One more time and ya can't take it back.
A short gnome in his bedclothes stands around with a silly grin on his face. He puts both his hands on his knees and looks up at the gnoll as it chuckles. Whether or not he gets the joke, Candle Jack giggles right along.
As the gates open, he pulls a candle from his belt. With a quick blow, it lights, and a dancing flame that doesn't seem to be affected by the wind sits on the wick.
He reminds everyone of how quickly life can be snuffed out: "Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum out for a walk one day. Along came a spider as sat down beside em and ate em both right away!"

Initiative: (1d20+7)[20] (Actually 22, from Warlord's bonus.)
Also, if Candle Jack is near cover when he rolls initiative (he will try to be), he can make a Stealth check at +11 to hide, and he will too. If the DM could just roll that for me when necessary, that would be good. I can't roll here since this is an edit.
