Born Adam Monroe in the capital of Iona, Bishop was a formidable chess player for the entirety of his teenage years. He liked regular chess, but his real game was MagiChess, a form of chess played with life sized illusion of chess pieces. The board was all around them, and the player would talk the place of the king. He commanded his pieces with finesse and great showmanship. He was known famously for his ability to see and plan up to 7 moves in advance. He would use his knights as offensively as he could, but he would always mate the enemies king with his bishops. This signature move earned him the name "Bishop"
During his early twenties, Bishop was walking alone late at night after a match when he was mugged. The assailant attempted to kill him, but fought back in self defense. Bishop called upon one of his illusion pieces and fortified it, making it very real. The knight he had called charged at the mugger and impaled him, killing him on the spot.
Bishop was so mortified and regretful of what he had done, that he left home and his possessions behind. He wandered around until he was taken in by a church. Bishop spent most of his twenties there, working his way up through the church. It seemed fate had a sense of humor, as he soon reached the rank of Bishop within the church. He once again took the title, but this time with a different meaning.
Bishop once again began playing MagiChess and soon reclaimed his titles. Just as soon as he did, he was tracked down by Maia Alabastur. She told him that she had been watching his career for a very long time and noticed how powerful of a summoner/mage he was. She took him out to dinner and explained who she was and what she stood for. Bishop was hesitant, but after many months and "dates" later, he agreed to join The Phade.
By the time Maia had actually convinced him to leave the church and join, the two were in a committed relationship. The years went on and Bishop eventually proposed. Maia accepted, but with their busy lives, they have never actually gotten married.
== Combat ==
Bishop is a master summoner and illusionist. When he first enters a battle, Bishop will cast a powerful illusion, turning the battlefield into a chess board. He will then begin summoning his pieces as he needs and fights with them in turn.
While he could simply charge at them with many of his summons, he chooses to play by the rules of chess. He only moves one piece at a time and only in the way that piece is allow to move. He normally plays turn based. Meaning that he will only move pieces when his foe moves.
For those foes who don't know the rules of chess(or how to fight summons and illusions), it makes his fighting style almost impossible to beat.
