Q is for Question Time - Wizards' Wizard?

And odd question as I know it's marked Wizards, presumably Wizards of the Coast, but what it he exactly, is he a giant from the 30mm sets, is he from a stand-alone board game, or is he some kind of mascot, or convention freebie?

The Star Wars, 2000AD and Lord of the Rings sets were also a factory painted, black rubberised-polymer, while he is unpainted polyethylene, in an odd shade of puce/mauve.
 
I know where I got him from as well, Graham Apperley, at last year's Plastic Warrior show, and he probably told me something about the figure, but that's a day when the brain is sent more information than it can store in short-term memory!
 
Anyone recognise this chap, and know what his role or employment looked/looks like, within the Wizards empire? An empire swallowed by Hasbro since we looked at them here, back at the beginning of the Blog!

  2. I am not really well versed in D and D lore but he is some sort of giant storm king.

  3. Cheers guys, a picture search of Google revealed him, but always painted, is this one stripped-down?
