Father Reginald Baird
Reginald Baird
Father Reginald Baird is a thin, middle-aged man with hollow cheekbones and a twitching smile. He was once a man of conviction, preaching the word of St. Terragnis with the stoic duty espoused by his god.
Dangerous Knowledge.
Father Baird focused on the study of arcane magic and artifacts during his tutelage as a priest of St. Terragnis, rather than the more typical healing and medicinal arts. While his superiors found his interests odd, they also believed broad knowledge among the clergy would cement the church’s in1luence as a source of wisdom and guidance. They didn’t realize Baird’s fascination with the arcane bordered on obsession.
Tempt Them Slowly.
Once Father Baird gained the independence of his own church and 1lock, he was able to study necromancy in secret. Over the years, his intellectual curiosity in the dark arts gave way to an insatiable thirst for potent secrets. St.
Terragnis taught self-control, duty, and the acceptance of discomfort. Necromancy, on the other hand, taught the furious, self-indulgent denial of Father Baird’s greatest fear — cold death itself. When the Whisperskull called to him from beneath his own church, he knew it was a sign from the tenebrous gods that his destiny had come.
