Shakäste
Shakäste (hush) is a human cleric. He is played by special guest of Critcal Role Khary Payton.
The first thing that one might notice is his shock of white hair, in a billowy afro with fingers of curly hair radiating in all directions. What draws attention away from the hair is his eyes: pupil-less and as white as his hair. He has a chin beard that drifts to a point about three to four inches below his chin. He has three dimples (one beneath his beard, that can't be seen). He can look pretty menacing, unless he's smiling.
He is covered in a tangle of brown, red, and green leather straps that cover him from his neck to his calves. He wears boots and a green cloak with a hood big enough to cover his "ample locks". He also uses a cane, which is strong enough to parry a gnoll's spear.
Shakäste is generally forthright and a charismatic figure. He had no particular need to be remembered or thanked, and happily disappeared after doing good deeds.
Shakäste mentioned that he grew up in the Marrow Valley, not too far from Alfield. He tended to look over the people around Alfield, coming by once in a while. He also claimed to be a motivational speaker in the Menagerie Coast, "packing them in".
In fact, Shakäste is a member of the Golden Grin. His exploits under the name "Hush" were recounted in a series of novellas titled Heroic Deeds of the Golden Grin, published anonymously out of Deastok. The Cobalt Soul had thought that Hush was a fictitious folk hero until, owing to the encounter with Beau at the Rill's Mouth Mines, The Cobal Soul was able to confirm his existence.
He had a familiar named Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, whose nickname is "Stacy" (but that's not her name) or "The Grand Duchess". When the party first met her, she was in the form of an abrahum, a "dark, midnight" hummingbird.
