| Issan Masud |
Twice a day poster here with several years on Paizo PbP. I've wanted to play CC for quite some time. May I present Issan for your consideration?
A tall tonsured Garundi dressed in the black robes of Pharasma, Issan’s destiny as a priest of the Goddess of Fate was set with his first breath. His mother nearly died in childbirth due to a lack of competent priests in his small village in the wastes of northwestern Osirion. Concerned at the quality of the few priests in the area, his parents bravely gave up their youngest son to the goddess and the child was taken up by a small Pharasmin nunnery near Shiman-Sekh.
A favored child of the temple, Issan was instructed in healing and death rituals. He looked forward to a quiet life as a cloistered priest and healer at the temple until one of his wards succumbed to a virulent strain of ghoul fever and he barely escaped with his life. Many of the beloved sisters of the temple were not so lucky.
Bereaved at the loss of those he had considered his family. Issan wandered to Sothis where he met Professor Lorrimor, who interviewed the young priest about the tragedy. Issan soon came to see the professor as a mentor in learning more about the undead and how best to destroy them. It is with great sadness that Issan heard of the Professor's recent passing.
Issan wears the black robes of his faith and an antique silver edged skane of bone is displayed at his hip. The tall Garundi shaves his head daily and has a commanding presence though he rarely takes the forefront unless it is to eulogize the recently departed or confront the living dead.
