About Jacob Romero

Everyone knows Jacob Romero. Why? Well, in a city where everyone is suspicious of one another, he wears a mask. Few in the town have ever seen his face, and for good reason. Rumor has it he is horribly scared from a spell gone wrong in his youth. Those that have seen can attest to the disfiguration. He is a wizard of some strength and spends his days at the cemetery as its caretaker. Normally such a role would be left to a cleric but he insisted, preferring the isolation. Rumors abound that he was a necromancer and just wanted to raise the whole plot in revolt and take the town.

But he proved to be adept at what he did. He was surprisingly comforting to those that lost someone important to them and performed all the rights based on the person's chosen religion. Every week he would visit the market to purchase food and other supplies. And during these visits he was always genteel and respectful. He caused no problems to anyone and was the first to apologize if he felt he was at fault. Some still harbor doubts about his ambitions but he has never made any action that would draw suspicion. He is a model citizen.
