Kriseptah Syn

Khriseptah Syn (De), \* to present, aka Khris, or Kris, (the Garan Old Holy Guy), Ealanta, Project Oberon, Royal Chaplain at the Dyon Royal Palace, Dyon City, The Kingdom of Dyon

Kris is almost always out of favor with the main church officials in Dymkirk, since he refuses to spy for them or assist them in their efforts to lessen Royal power to increase the power of The Great Church, which has earned him the respect of Isdain Roland Selket-Athyr. Insisting that his duty is to the spiritual needs of the people, not the power games of some of the high church leaders. So they made him the Royal Chaplain, a prestigious position with no executive authority, but a tremendous amount of territory to travel through on a constant round of visits.

As the Royal Chaplain, his duties include over-watch of the military chaplains throughout the extended areas of The Kingdom of Dyon's interests including the embassy guards in Cheth, Gara and Ramon. He is often absent from court at the Dyon Royal Palace on ecclesiastical visits.

The "Chaplain Syn" persona is that of a quiet, gentle and very kind man, no longer young with no ambitions for personal glory. Prone to seasickness, he prefers to travel by land. A terrible rider, he always travels by couch when possible or uses the gate system or gets a lift from a military wizard (his stewardship over the military chaplains allow this). Since he does not get involved in the political maneuverings at court, he is considered a non-threatening fool by most of the courtiers. The palace staff find him kind and always ready to listen if they have troubles. The older ones remember how kind he was and the hours he spent comforting the former High Queen when she lost her husband. His interest in learning to fence is a source of great amusement to the guard who find his lack of skill hilarious, though they are careful to laugh behind his back. Foreign agents are counseled to avoid him since his personal integrity has never been known to be breached, and his well known lack of interest in politics or military matters makes him a poor source of intelligence data.

Kris is known in Gara as the benevolent old holy guy who visits the military chaplains on an irregular basis. He has a house in New Hoddam Bridge, Gara, where he is the priest in residence, though his many duties insure that he seldom stays long.

His primary mission is to provide covert protection for House Selket-Athyr. He has used many identities over the years.
