Personal history

This One is the only (as far as he knows) child of a Firbolg couple who, foolishly, decided to relocate back to Fallrock with their infant son. His parents were completely unprepared for the ways in which the region had changed following the rise of the Dread King and were killed either by exposure or the native wildlife. The infant was found a few days later badly dehydrated but alive by a Goliath named Stoneskipper and company. They took the child with them and dropped him off at the Monastery of Flowers where Stoneskipper's brother Long Stride was a teacher.

Eventually under Long Stride's tutelage this one (at that time known to the other monks as Rook) became adept at the Way of the Open Hand though he believed that isolation would only serve the monastery so far. Eventually he did depart the only home he'd ever known roughly 15 years or so before the start of the campaign. He traveled with a group of barbarians as their company cook for a few years before eventually ending up in Aria.

Education

This One was raised and trained at the Monastery of Flowers. It is also where he learned to cook.

Employment

This One has worked as a chef for much of his time since leaving the Monastery. He cooked for a small group of barbarians before eventually getting a job at and becoming proprietor of a small restaurant in Aria known as The Monkey's Paw. Eventually he bequeathed the Paw to his protege Aeleith when he signed on with Lyren Killian and became a member of what would become Persicorum.

Mental Trauma

Though he rarely speaks of it, Kodo is very much aware that he is among the last of his kind in Alturis and that does weigh on him at times.

Intellectual Characteristics

This One values a well ordered mind and a simple, honest life (though one might not know it looking at his life at this time). He has a quiet, meditative approach to life and does his best to live his life by the tenants of the Open Hand's philosophy.

Morality & Philosophy

This One is a pacifist at heart and the irony of the fact that fighting is one of the things in life that he is best at is not lost on This One. He always tries to see the best in everyone and believes that anyone, if properly motivated, can change themselves for the better.
