Kaeso is a priest of the church of Pharism. He has taken a vow to devote his life to the tenants espoused by Pharisma and holds law and order, as dictated by the church, as his highest priority. He has been in the settlement of Derta for some time now, and recognizes that the people of Derta hold the Cato brothers in high esteem. He views those who would defy the order of the church as evil heretics and the greatest danger to society. He is suspicious of anyone not associated with the church of Pharism in some way. His life's goal is to rise to the rank of a Bishop and guide many souls to the path of Pharism and living in law and order. His services to the residents of Derta are covered by their tithes, while outsiders are required to make an offering in order to receive any services.
Observations from the Locals of Derta
"Kaeso is a fine Head Priest. He does right by the people of this town and I owe him a debt for appointing me mayor. No doubt Kaeso is an odd fellow, though. He spends a great deal of time in contemplative thought, his social tact is lacking, and he can get annoying with his questions. Regardless, I like him! He is good for Derta, no question. No Question."
"Kaeso is only an acquaintance of mine. He really doesn't come into the inn all that often. But, from what my brother says and what I've seen, Kaeso is the right priest to be here in Derta. He is truly concerned for the people, as evidenced by the time he spends getting to know them and their problems."
"Kaeso? He's always going on about how I need a plan, with goals and timetables, for my life. I have a plan mind you, it's just not working yet. He should spend his time on the other folks around here. I don't plan on him being my priest for much longer, or this town being my home."

Information for the Gamemaster
Kaeso is generally helpful towards PCs. He is one of the very few people in Derta with access to magic of any sort, and is willing to use it to aid the PCs in exchange for donations (of time or coin) to the Church in Derta.
