Status: Alive — St. Andrew's Church, Vallaki
Known Information
Priest of the Morning Lord at St. Andrew's Church in Vallaki. Runs the dawn service, manages his small parish, and is currently sitting on a fairly significant secret: the bones of St. Andrew were stolen from the crypt beneath the church several nights ago, and he has not told anyone.
His reasoning is pastoral rather than deceptive — he didn't want to cause a panic among the townspeople who rely on the church's reputation for protection. He has no leads. He told the party.
He maintains a small household of orphaned boys at the church. He is protective of them and asked the party to be gentle with Yeska. He describes Milovaj as temperamental but not, he believes, beyond help — a characterization that became harder to sustain once Milovaj disappeared and a bag of suspicious coins turned up in his room.
Upon seeing Ireena Kolyana, he had the same look of quiet recognition that Danica and Irwin had — and similarly did not explain it.
He seems genuinely committed to his faith and genuinely uncomfortable with the situation in his church.
