In 833 PD, Lucien acquired a tome [30] that allowed him to gain powers and knowledge from the Somnovem, an ancient group of mages ruling a living city in the Astral Sea. Taliesin originally intended for Mollymauk's last name to be "Trickfoot," but Matt didn't want such an explicit reference to the first campaign so early on. Mollymauk woke up buried in the ground with no memories that same year, and regarded that awakening as the moment he came into existence.

When the Mighty Nein met Jumnda and Ombo, two members of the recently decimated Guiatao Clan, Molly entertained the firbolg boy, giving him one of his moon trinkets as a present. Lucien indicated to the Mighty Nein that Mollymauk means nothing to him, although he understood their grief. Beau has taken Molly's lessons to heart and is working towards leaving places better than she finds them. Mollymauk was Taliesin Jaffe's back-up character in Campaign 1, which he started developing after Percy's first death.

Beau told Molly she once found out a politician and his wife were both cheating on each other then used that information to ruin their relationship and their lives.

Mollymauk deals 9 damage with an off-hand non-rite attack, which means that he added his Dexterity modifier to the damage dealt. In game, Molly didn't remember anything from his past, leaving fans to believe that The Mighty Nein could still stumble onto pieces of his backstory. His curled horns are pierced and extremely ostentatious, with little gems and baubles, and his flamboyant appearance was often commented upon. He shortly thereafter joined The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, thus later claiming that he had been with them for as "long as [he] can reasonably remember".

Carry It Until We Die by starkraving - Mollymauk Tealeaf wakes up in a grave by the road ten years after he died. It was at some point after Mollymauk's first performance with his swords, between 833 and 834 PD, that Lestera died, being found by the tiefling in their usual drinking spot. As the group grieved, Caleb began to cast Vault of Amber on the body so that it could be brought back to the Material Plane.
