Appearance:
A boxy short fellow with curly short cropped sandy brown hair. Verik is handsome with broad freckled features and stocky, but muscular rather than stout.

Personality:
An orderly, often pedantic, perfectionist, with a strong sense of duty and a kind heart. Verik loves lists, and is a great organizer, though he can be infuriatingly inflexible at times. He is never flashy, but always solid and dependable.

Background:
The Jarrows are a family of Absalom based Lawyers and have been for generations, but as the fifth son Verik was not encouraged to follow the family profession. Instead after exhibiting an interest in Abadar, the families god of choice, he was encouraged to explore his faith and join the Church.

At fifteen he petitioned to join the Church and was accepted as an acolyte. He spent five years learning the trade, and working in the First Lady of Laws offices as a clerk and later magistrate.

At twenty he was offered the chance to travel as a cohort to the famed diplomat and negotiator Benervan Knesh, a greatly respected priest of Abadar. With Knesh Verik traveled to all of the great cities of the Inner Sea, and many more besides, as well as venturing further afield to Korvosa. It was on the return passage from Korvosa that their ship was attacked by pirates - The Red Reavers. Verik was injured early on and fled bellow decks, while Knesh's magics secured victory for the sailors, but cost the aging priest his life.

Thoroughly ashamed of himself Verik vowed that he would not be found wanting again and returned to the Temple of Abadar in Absalom to train for combat. After some months he was ready to set out into the world seeking to bring civilization, order, and law to those lawless lands where it is most needed.
