Davied

Davied is a warpriest of Calistria living in Inheritor's Landing. He runs a temple to his goddess, a combination bordello, spa, and bar known as *Tusks*. Though he welcomes any willing worker with open arms, many of the employees come from more brutish or downtrodden stock.

## Biography

Born to a human mother in a slave pit, Davied expected little and was given even less in life. His mother treated him with surprising kindness despite his origins. He reciprocated, the two of them sneaking to visit each other at night. She instilled a powerful hope in him, one of leaving the tribe and fleeing to Varisia where they would be safe. Davied grew, becoming a young man in the tribe known for his cleverness and wily way of getting what he wanted through charm and deceit. He watched his mother age, his heart aching for her freedom.

News of their planned jailbreak came to the upstart chieftain of their tribe, and the next morning her head was upon a pike as a warning to the other slaves. Davied didn't cry. In fact, he didn't say anything. Instead, he wormed his way into the chieftain's inner circle, insisting to all who would listen he didn't care about his traitor of a mother.

But he did, a lot. Every day hurt, but the young half-orc promised to return vengeance tenfold upon those who had wronged him, wronged his mother. One night, he was in the tent with his chieftain when the opportunity arose. It took but three quick stabs to end his mother's murderer's life. Gathering his things, he fled the border to Varisia, to live like he and his mother had always planned. Impressed by his coldly patient and vicious revenge, Calistria granted him with power. It was an ironic strength derived using the same weapon used to lash his skin.

## Appearance

As a sacred courtesan, Davied takes considerable pride in his appearance. He dresses well, favoring outfits that flatter and show off his muscular physique. He styles his hair, keeping it perfectly disheveled. Piercings, pendants, and other jewelry complete his style in an ostentatious display of wealth.

## Personality

Despite a vicious streak, Davied does not like to punch down, and has a soft spot for the underdog. Staff with no place to go keep their own rooms. Those who need work but can't or won't do the oldest profession wash dishes, cook meals, and keep the public areas clean once the guests have left.

Though prone to flirting with any living being with a pulse, he draws a hard line when it comes to consent, and won't pine for anyone clearly uninterested. He also does not tolerate abuse or disparagement of his staff or his profession. Safety is tantamount, and he has gained a reputation for being a generous employer.

He is rather prone to vanity and bravado, and can't resist flattery, but this stems from a lifetime of scorn from more "civilized" peoples and races.
