+ | |||
+ | As a representative of the church, Friar Riso is a dangerous person for the Baron to have around, but Riso seems quite willing to ignore the Baron' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Friar Riso customarily wears hooded clerical robes, staying mostly covered. His body, when seen, is covered in old burn scars, especially his head. Riso has no hair, his ears are mostly missing, and where one of his eyes should be there is nothing but a mass of ugly scar tissue. | ||

+ | Riso is quite open about his slightly disreputable and rather unusual past. Riso was rescued from an inn fire that presumably killed his parents. When the hideously burned child was examined, little hope was held for his survival.

Suddenly, Riso could see the God's power flowing into the bishop, and from the bishop into the afflicted person. He could see the holy magic driving the evil influences from the person' | ||

+ | Within a year, Riso had become an acolyte of the Brotherhood of Cunradus, where he underwent the normal Cunradan training before taking his orders. When it was discovered that he possessed the talent to channel the holy magic of the gods, Riso was given further individual training to call on Eir's power for healing. Since then, Riso has been wandering the countryside; | ||
