A broad-shouldered human with a soft, sturdy build, weathered hands, and a face that seems more suited to a bakehouse than a battlefield. He keeps his dark hair tied back with a strip of faded blue cloth and wears a patched wool tunic beneath practical hide armor. Within a minute of meeting him, people notice that he is always watching the nearest table, cookfire, or food pouch, and that he unconsciously measures every room by how many people it could feed. His expression is usually solemn until someone mentions cheese, at which point his entire face brightens.

I am patient with frightened people, suspicious of anyone who wastes food, and much more comfortable repairing a fence or stirring a pot than making conversation. I believe most problems can be improved by giving everyone a task and something warm to eat.

Tomas Prys grew up in a small human farming village where the temple served as both chapel and communal kitchen. His family made cheese from the milk of three stubborn goats, and Tomas learned early that feeding people was often the most reliable form of prayer. He became an acolyte after spending a winter tending the temple stores, copying hymns, and settling arguments over whether a cracked wheel of cheese was still fit for the poor. His faith taught him that hunger makes enemies of neighbors, while a shared meal can make strangers kin. When raiders burned the village granary, Tomas tried to defend the temple with a kitchen cleaver and was knocked flat by the first blow. He survived, but the helplessness stayed with him. Since then, his anger has become a physical, clumsy force that surges whenever someone threatens the vulnerable or wastes food. He left the temple carrying a greataxe donated by a retired caravan guard, a prayer book wrapped in oilcloth, and a firm conviction that every journey should end with a hot meal. He adventures to protect roads, recover stolen provisions, and find the people responsible for destroying his home, though he insists that revenge is only worthwhile if everyone gets fed afterward.
