Background:
Tibor comes from humble beginnings. The only son of a gravedigger and one of the attendant at Velonstair, the Pharasmin cathedral in the town of Courtaud, he never knew much of any form of luxury.
From a young age his father brought him along to the graveyard where he learned the trade he was suspected to perform when he'd grow up. It was during these days, at the tender age of 7, that Tibor encountered his first ghost. It was the spirit of a little girl who perished during the revolution of the area, nothing but collateral damage in one of the few fights between the old noble house and the people of the land. Completely unafraid of what he encountered Tibor and the spirit girl played in the graveyard for several hours until Tibor fell asleep on the steps that led into some old crypt. The spirit girl hovered over him, guarding her new friend while he slept, only to vanish and pass on just before he woke, her desire for friendship and unbiased attention met.
When Tibor came running home from the cemetery he was met with anger from his parents, anger that turned to worry and gladness for his return mere minutes later. Feelings that only intensified when he told them about his experience. It was this very same spirit that had chased down and killed two grave robbers and had scared off Pharasmin priests that wanted to remove it. It was the experience with the little ghost that forever altered his perception of the spirits of the dead.
As he grew up it also was this encounter with the spirit girl that both drew the attention of the church of Pharasma and of Professor Lorrimor. While he quickly joined the former, eventually joining the clergy despite being affronted by their uncaring nature, it was the latter that motivated him to make more of his stay at the church.
The Professor was very interested in his encounter with the ghostly girl and was one of the few who actually seemed to understand when Tibor told him that he didn't believe all undead to be evil miscreants but that some, mainly those who ended up in their position unwillingly, were nothing but lost souls who either sought a way to pass on or were simply confused by all that had happened, not understanding the fact they had perished. It were the talks they had that inspired Tibor to be more than just another cleric at the cathedral. Instead he chose to move, trekking around the Lozeri county, investigating supposed hauntings and peacefully sending spirits home wherever he could. After each encounter he'd send a letter to the Professor, sometimes describing how a spirits wanted nothing more than to return an item to a lost loved one and sometimes describing how he sadly had to resort to violence and force as a spirit had proven malignant.
The answer to his last letter to the Professor came as a shock to him. Normally it took quite a while to get an answer, but then again the Professor was a busy man and he only had so much time, but this one arrived a mere two weeks after his own letter. The news inside was sad though, telling of the Professor's untimely demise. What shocked him even more though was that the same day he received news that his father had been found dead at the cemetery where he worked, apparently killed by some malignant spirit. As such all he could do for the Professor was write another letter, this time to his daughter Kendra, telling her how much it pained him to learn of her father's untimely death but that he also had to bury his own father as well as figure out what happened to him.
