Brother Afina

Brother Afina is from a small denomination of worshipers of Millhone, the Patron Saint of Adventurers. After a few months listening to professional adventurers come in and make confessions and offerings for success, Brother Afina decided that he could better serve St. Millhone by taking his preaching into the field, rather than wait for adventurers to come into his chapel. After discussing his plans with Father Miles (Yes, that Father Miles!) Brother Afina loaded up his backpack with the items suggested by Father Miles, and headed to the Borderlands to smite the evil and save the innocent (Or mostly so. After all, adventurers are adventurers!)

Brother Afina stands about 5'9" tall, and weighs about 160 lbs. He wears a simple monk's habit over scale mail, and slings a rather travel worn leather backpack. His wooden Holy Symbol (a wooden disc carved with cross swords over a sack) peeks out from his robe. A stout looking mace hangs from the left side of his belt, and a sling and small bag of stones and bullets are on the right. His feet are shod in sturdy boots.

Tragically, on his way to the Borderlands, Brother Afina was horribly disfigured during a fire. The inn where he had taken his rest caught fire in the middle of the night due to a poorly banked fire, and he was trapped upstairs. Brother Afina probably could have escaped with nothing worse than a bad singe, but the inn keeper's youngest daughter was sleeping in her parent's room one door down from Brother Afina, and he returned to rescue her from the flames. When the roof began to collapse, he tossed the child through a window where she fell into a waiting rescue blanket. Brother Afina was about to jump when the main roof beam fell, and drove the hapless cleric out the window covered in burning thatch. This has left his face covered in a mass of scar tissue, as well as much of his upper body. As a result, he rarely removes the hood of his monk's habit to allow others to view his face.
