Though he began his career determined to use magic to dominate and control others, *Bigby* eventually changed his ways and has worked hard to make amends for his past villainy. [[Mordenkainen]] welcomed *Bigby* into the adventuring company known as the [[Circle of Eight|Citadel of Eight]] (which later became the [[Circle of Eight]]). Shy and soft-spoken, *Bigby* was often eclipsed by his mentor, who taught *Bigby* how to control his ambitions. After years of adventuring, *Bigby* crafted a handful of spells that gained him widespread renown. Of these spells, [[Bigby's Hand]] is his undisputed magnum opus. > > A recent misadventure led to *Bigby*'s untimely demise. After he was crushed to death by a [[Frost Giant]]'s boulder, *Bigby* was the target of a [[Reincarnate]] spell. The spell transformed *Bigby* from a [[Human]] into a [[Gnome]]."
