Vargas Inteccion

Ambitious priest (Helm)

“Do your duty to the gods, and you will be rewarded.”

Appearance: Reverend Vargas is almost always the tallest person in the room. His most distinguishing feature is a hawkish nose.

Roleplaying: He rarely smiles, but his eyes convey sincerity. When deep in thought, he presses hands to his lips and nose, clasped as in prayer.

Personality: Vargas is even tempered, so much so that some remark that he lacks the righteous zeal befitting a priest. Generally, he is patient and kind. When he makes a suggestion or advocates a position, it is always after giving the matter due consideration. Never acting in haste, he allows events to unfold, and acts when the opportunity is of the greatest benefit to him or the temple. He believes that, ultimately, he knows what’s best to advance the temple’s message and standing in the world, though he never openly criticizes the decisions or positions of the high priests.

Traits: Power hungry, religious

Objectives

Vargas wishes to navigate the politics of the temple and, eventually, attain a leading position within the church hierarchy.

Background

He lost his wife and eldest son to assassins twenty years ago while he was off on a quest, and he doesn’t know to this day what happened to his youngest children, boy and girl twins. This turned his duty to protecting the weak and watching over those who are forgotten or lost due to misplaced heroism.

He takes many orphans off Waterdeep’s streets and feeds and clothes them. Together with the help of various temples throughout the city, he teaches the children basic reading, writing, and the history of the Realms. Many of the children ten and over are either apprenticed or working with the Lamplighters’ Guild at night, though they must show the ability to ply a trade before leaving Helm’s Hall at age 15.

At the current time, Vargas runs the orphanage with four other helpers, and there are 30 children at Helm’s Hall (12 girls, 18 boys).
