Hi hi! Literally every time I join a game I get sent out of town within 24 hours, so forgive my tardiness, apologies, etc., I am excite.
This is Anatoleas Vaste, a priest in the sect of Felor who's been with the faith since he was a teenager. He lives at the temple in Ostwill, and devotes himself to theology at the seminary there, with a particular interest in the most obnoxiously obscure technical corners of spellcraft. He absolutely despises teaching, but has ambitions, and so serves as a tutor to the princess, who is way more talented than he is a chore and a half.
He grew up in Ostwill, with a family with a pretty well-known name in maritime trade, so if you're a local, it's possible you've run into him before! (Or his brother, who's universally better-liked.) He loves a good scholarly argument, but he's also a real, dyed in the wool true believer when it comes to his faith; he's prickly, easily needled, and (as someone who's always on the lookout for the next step up on the power ladder, and very cognizant of his middling background) has very little ability to laugh at himself. Which is too bad, because he's pretty ridiculous. If you have some objective marker of power or status, he's likely to start out almost obsequious with you, and otherwise, he's just ... kind of awkward and overly stiff.
He's not a total asshole, though! He likes pigeons. Please be nice to pigeons.
