Family & Relationships
Nothing is easily accessible about his family.

He has several relationships in Ordulin. Boxworth is often seen as a Red Wizard sympathizer. Many people have claimed that he is in fact a Red Wizard himself, but little people have proof of that. Boxworth's relationship with the Red Wizards is a game of mixed power. He has power over his superiors in in Sembia, but has no power at the same time. The Red Wizards of Thay do not treat him with respect, but know that he must act how they want him to act. Though generally a puppet, Boxworth does sometimes act in what he believes is for the best interest in either Sembia or Thay. Since he is closest thing that Thay has to an actual say in Sembian policy, the communication between Boxworth and the Red Wizards in Thay is often very complicated.

Boxworth is seen as a corrupt member in the Sembian Merchant Council whose only purpose is to further Thay. His actions make him very unpopular in the council, though his actual voting patterns make him a fairly well approved member of the council outside the council. Boxworth often votes with the other members that mainly represent non-governmental organizations in Sembia. This is a block of people that is generally not afraid to use force to get people to vote how they want.

Boxworth is concerned that his decisions may lead to his death. He's looking for allied to protect him and find out who his enemies are and if they will mobilize against him. By voting against the voting block that instituted the open borders policy and voting against the still disputed new allies legislature, Boxworth has gone against the voting block and the committee for the representation of non-governmental political and social organizations in Sembia.

Rinald met his end at the hands of Tillenbirg as a result of a mission he got form Kendrick and Alinard to watch over his actions. Boxworth was relunctant to act, but he was reassured that Tillenbirg had been declawed and less likely to act against him. Tillenbirg knew that the Cult of the Dragon had actually been fairly aware of his activities and it was the Vice Wearer of Purple and Sembian Merchant Council Member that told Bartholomew about "Mind Rape". She conspired against Tillenbirg and contacted Boxworth to make it clear that he might have acted against Kendrick Selkirk. Before Boxworth could send message, he was confronted by Tillenbirg and murdered.

Boxworth's mind tells a story of hatred towards Tillenbirg and a conspiracy to kill him with the aid of the members of the Sembian Merchant Council. Tillenbirg had murdered Boxworth in an undisclosed location while Mind Blank was activated. There seems to be no way to prove that Tillenbirg tampered with the evidence, but it is widely believed that Tillenbirg killed him.
