Taisper Stozs loves his family very much. As a first-born son, he received great favor from his parents, and grew up feeling assured the world looked kindly on him. When he entered his teens and it became obvious he would be far handsomer than a look at his family would seem to indicate he had any business being, his father began to say wonderingly, joyously, that "my boy is touched by the gods, you just wait and see." As much as friends and neighbors would love to have refuted such an outrageous and prideful claim, Taisper soon began to display great talent at working with machines and fixing rends or breaks, and would offer his services, gratis, to the local shopkeepers in his neighborhood, fixing broken brooms and other small items, never asking for nor accepting a fee. When arguments arose in the home or on the street, young Taisper proved equally adept at repairing these rends in the fabric of the neighborhood as easily as a shopkeeper's torn apron; his winning smile and flaxen hair helped him charm most anyone. Those bullies who would not be taken in by Taisper's charm and wit taught Taisper how to be quick, for he was neither strong enough nor a skilled enough fighter to battle with these boys, and so he developed greater agility, his slim frame allowing him to dodge many blows. Those he couldn't dodge he accepted as a lesson from the gods for being too prideful, or insufficiently disciplined in his readings of the sacred texts of Abadar.
When his father, a foreman, was horribly injured in a factory accident the owner of the factory, a wealthy merchant and former cleric of Abadar, came to the house to make reparations, and upon meeting Taisper made it clear that he and his two brothers would be cared for until their father could work again. "After all," the factory owner had said with a peculiar gleam in his eye, "are we not a community, and therefore all family? The family is the constituent component of civilization, and civilization is what makes humanity great. So Abadar teaches us, and so we spread his faith, and by doing so increase our own greatness, and the greatness of the world through the reach of civilization." At the time, Taisper thought this the most divine wisdom he had ever heard. After the factory owner had a quiet conversation with his mother, she asked Taisper what he thought of the former cleric. Taisper, his eyes still wide with divine revelation (at least as divine a revelation as a 14-year-old can have), said he thought the man was very wise, and noble, and wealthy. His mother smiled, perhaps a little sadly, and asked Taisper if he would wish to be like that man someday. Taisper had looked at her then, in astonishment, and said he would like that very much.

So it was that not a week later Taisper entered the Citadel of Abadar in Alkenstar city, welcomed with open arms by the clerics there; they said they were expecting him. Under their tutelage his divine connection flourished and -- still moved by the kind actions of the factory owner towards his family -- his faith in the powers of family, community, civilization and law grew to be unshakable. Pious but never zealous, faithful but not evangelical, Taisper would much rather work with a group and lead by example than attempt to bowl people over with words.

Now, at only 19, he has passed the exams and been named a full Inquisitor of Abadar. His boyish good looks have grown into those of a handsome, golden-haired man, and his big smile can still disarm many a would-be aggressor. Never the smartest or strongest fellow, Taisper lets his natural talents for divine magic and his deep, heartfelt faith guide him in life and thus far they have not let him down. Now as he prepares to go forth and spread the faith of Abadar and bring judgment on the enemies of Law and Civilization, he feels certain, deep in his very soul, that they never will.
