Ôn-Iko

Ôn-Iko, the High Priest of the order of Mori-Kam, was an elderly and somewhat embittered individual. His personality was well-suited to the changes that had befallen his goddess, Mori-Kam, as he had long believed that his fellow Honnin needed a catalyst to infuse life into their lethargic existence. With fervor unmatched by his peers, Ôn-Iko embraced his new role and the transformation of his goddess, hoping to invigorate his people after two decades of waiting. Despite his enthusiasm for the changes brought by Mori-Kam's realignment, Ôn-Iko found himself at odds with the presence of a mysterious guest named Shebbin-Vûr. This foreigner, a tall and muscular Near Haradron, was perceived as an anomaly and a potential threat to Ôn-Iko's position. The High Priest harbored suspicions toward Vur, especially since his goddess seemed to favor the foreign emissary. While outwardly offering pleasantries and smiles, Ôn-Iko's distrust of Vûr ran deep, and he could prove to be an obstacle in their dark partnership. Physically, Ôn-Iko was unremarkable among the Honnin, standing at a height of four feet eight inches with a slightly pudgy build. The signs of aging were evident, with white hairs emerging amidst his black locks and wrinkles forming around his eyes and mouth. Although his health was not robust, he relied on medicines to alleviate his discomforts, occasionally causing him to appear drowsy and lethargic. In terms of strategy and leadership, Ôn-Iko was not particularly adept, a trait stemming from the peaceful lives of his people. He lacked cleverness in tactics, which could pose challenges in times of crisis. Nevertheless, he possessed potent spellcasting abilities that aligned with his position as the High Priest. His unique brand of spellcraft, shared with his goddess and fellow order members, was a potential headache for intruders within his temple. Despite his limitations, Ôn-Iko wielded authority through his religious role and displayed an unwavering commitment to the service of Mori-Kam. As the spiritual leader of the order, he navigated the complexities of his position, overseeing rituals, conducting business, and safeguarding the shrine. Among his prized possessions was a rod of office that amplified his power, though he was far more comfortable in the realm of magic than in direct combat.
