Whisperer Jiacobo

Whisperer Jiacobo

Race: Human

Culture: Zenith

Description: Of slight build, with a firm, serious face, and shaved head; wears white robes.

Whisperer Jiacobo is a young initiate of the Order of the Speakers to the Sick, a Pater Dios monastic order of healers that does not simply treat disease and sickness as a spot of dirt on a windowpane, but as possession. As such, their techniques go beyond bandages and ointments, and include familiarity with the spirits that manifest and seep into the bodies of the faithful. A Speaker hospital is filled with the diseased and injured, where monks clean wounds, administer treatments, and whisper constantly, urging the spirits to leave.

Jiacobo is among those in the Order who are Lightblooded and blessed enough to be able to speak to these spirits directly. In addition to training in the healing arts and spells, his order taught him the ways of words, for dealing with spirits, though he applies this to his dealings with men, as well.

As he has finished his initiation, he is allowed to wander the world, seeking out spirits and healing the sick, as is his vow. He neither expects nor gives evil spirits any allowance. He is thin, careful, and diligent. He wears the white robes of his order and keeps his head shaved, and travels with a well-dried cactus spine for a simple staff.
