Personal history

As the summoner who originally called upon Etriel to seduce and manipulate Lady Calvus, Barnabas met the unexpected fate of becoming a personal friend to the ruling couple. His plot, in addition to bringing them the happiness of finding each other, had also proved Barnabas’s cunning, resolve, and ability. He was summarily offered the role of Harrowcrest’s singular official guard. Barnabas has since used his considerable magic to defend the town from the mountain’s beasts and judgmental outsiders. Surprisingly, most of all to Barnabas himself, he has since become rather content with the position, perhaps even to the point of liking the town and its people.

In Unholy Matrimony

Harrowcrest was deep in preparation for the wedding of its lady and her groom. Various members of the community had taken on the responsibilities of planning, catering, and officiant. Most were absorbed in their duties, including the bride and groom-to-be, who were trying to deal with the tension of their respective wedding parties gathering within the increasingly claustrophobic manor.
But disconcerting news had reached Harrowcrest. Word was that a mysterious monster-slayer with a merciless reputation had been sighted in the area, no doubt drawn by the prospect of crashing such a union. While a single individual posed little physical threat to the town’s infernal residents, his interjection could have jeopardised what was an important day for Harrowcrest. Rather than sully the occasion by personally hunting a man through the streets, Lady Calvus had instead called for outside help. She wished for the party to act as security until the wedding’s conclusion. They were instructed to remain subtle and unobtrusive so as to not upset the preparations and to, above all else, stop the monster hunter from ruining the wedding.
In addition to being a friend of the bride and groom, Barnabas was also the only resident of Harrowcrest that worshipped a god. Despite this god being, in Barnabas’s words, “a being of pure entropy, unknowable to mortals who live and die within its inexorable gaze,” his worship made him the only true choice to officiate Lady Calvus and Etriel’s wedding.
Barnabas was spending most of the days of preparation within Harrowcrest Manor, assisting in dealing with the meeting families. He also made his way into town each day to prepare the chapel.
