Kent McNeillie

Kent was one of the original masterminds behind the concept of The Bottom Feeders.  A long standing member of The Gathering and long time assistant to the head honchos, Kent is one of the mellowest members of the lounging crowd.  Anything worth talking about is game with this feeder so strike up the lighters and bring up conversation on mead and spirits and Kent's yer man!
