Todor appears more the paladin than the cleric with his bulky stature. Though Chelaxian, his skin is well tanned from the many hours spent travelling or on work sites. His dirty blond hair frequently matches his often dusty and dirty clothing. The normal preoccupation of citizens with wealth and appearances holds no interest for him. His bright blue eyes, thoughtful looks, and inate charisma reveal he is not just another laborer more than the key hanging from his neck, his holy symbol of Abadar.

Todor grew up with a strong faith in the church of Abadar, but an almost stronger belief in Korvosa itself. The son of a construction worker, he learned early on to use his hands. However, his faith and potential were discovered by the church and Todor soon found himself lifting books instead of hammers. While others hated the regular duty of taking a turn on the walls to watch for trouble, Todor happily covered for anyone who asked. It was pure joy to stand for hours on end keeping watch over the City and taking in the views. Fortunately for Todor he was able to merge his faith and his upbringing as an architect for church buildings. Todor was able to manifest his faith in Abadar, in Korvosa, through designing and taking part in construction of new buildings.

Todor is rarely seen without either his notebook or his heavy hammer (a heave mace for stats) in his hand. While not particularly handsome, his zeal and dedication to his work are contagious. Workers are always eager to sign on for one of his projects. Charismatic, but not sociable, Todor leaves the details of dealing with politicans, banks, and inspectors to other members of the church.

Over the years Todor's love and faith in the City has reached almost heretical proportions. Good, evil, law, chaos. They no longer matter to him. Just the preservation and building of the City. He longs for the day when he might be able to add to the skyline of his first and only love, Korvosa.

Ignorant of any politics that are occurring, Todor will face some hard choices as to how best support his City and his Deity if there is political upheaval. Would he really support the current structure if another came along that was more capable of running the city?

Four weeks. It felt like four years to Todor and now this cursed storm would keep him away from his beloved Korvosa even longer. She would forgive him this absence though as she did all the others. When he finally returned to her, Castle Korvosa, the Pillar Wall, and Gatefoot would still rise against the horizon to greet him. Even the newer Great Tower and Hall of Summoning would welcome him. Someday he would add to that skyline, another building to greet visitors and those returning home to the greatest city.

These trips used to be only about the City, about finding stronger metals, harder woods, better techniques for greater arches and towers. He would bring home the materials and the knowledge to the City. Now though, during the Year of the Faithless, the Church had found "more important" things for him to do.

Todor had never realized his potential as a cleric, a great disappointment in that respect. While the church leaders admired his engineering skills and thanked him for his hard work, there was always the talk about his wasted talent. "Wasted talent? Am I not glorifying our god's values? Am I not helping the City to thrive?" For years he had been able to convince them, but as one of the 1% still receiving Abadar's blessings, his arguments fell on deaf ears this year. "Why me? Was I not serving you well enough already? Surely there was another that could have fulfilled your will while I built the City? Or is this your way of humbling me?" While Todor could still only cast the most basic of spells and provide a minimal amount of healing, it was now more than 99% of the faithful. There were people who needed healing only he could provide and the church now determined his fate.

At least during this most recent trip to Magnimar Todor had managed to find a little time to visit the gargantuan Irespan bridge built by the Thassalonians--oh there was a people that could build. He was sure he had unlocked some of its secrets and he would be able to incorporate them into his ideas for a new bridge across the water to the north that would both allow transportation and protect the entrance to the Jeggare river.

Villages. How do people live here? Todor will wander the village looking for any architecture of note--even a well done well. He travels with his holy symbol tucked under his shirt and armor. Just another traveler or mercenary he hopes people will believe. He does not have the patience for those who would likely throng him for healing.

After what is likely a 5 minute walk, Todor will begin to seek others who might be headed to Korsova at the docks and taverns. If the weather does not clear, he will seek another route to Korsova as soon as possible. He will present the construction worker part of himself to others, just anxious to get to Korsova where he hears there is much good work to be had.

Probably cleric, cleric, cleric...It's not exciting, but it's useful and the loss of spell progression is usually too expensive. However, I'd consider a Loremaster since there is no spell casting loss. Also, Holy Vindecator is a possibility if Todor ends up in front most of the time. It's only one level of slowing the spell casting progression.
