The stout Irishman clearly loves to laugh, but often maintains a pious facade in the general public.

[*]Silver Tongued (Has a talent for convincing others to repent.) [*]Trustworthy (Most wouldn’t doubt his intentions.) [/list] Intelligence/Sanity: Beoir is a highly intelligent man with many skills. He has walked across a tightrope while citing the Lord’s Prayer in Latin while juggling two bottles, just one example of his mental capacity to learn new skills while displaying old ones. He has read ancient documents hanging upside down from a great height without the slightest panic, demonstrating that he possesses both focus and the ability to perform under pressure. Beoir isn’t a perfect man by any means, and that has helped him to bring others peace. The unknown holds little terror to him, as in his relationship with his God he has learned that there are many things we don’t understand. That said, his superstitions have a very logical foundation: There is little to fear from the unknown, as the unknowable bears little impact on the conscious mind beyond that which is assigned to it by those arrogant enough to attempt to understand that which should not be and is not understandable. That which is truly terrifying is that evil which one can see, and far more scary, can understand. Backstory: Beoir was born in Ireland, and his parents migrated to America when he was still a wee lad. The third son, he was made for the cloth- and from a young age had a great interest in the religions of the world, specifically the ancient and unknown. He also gained a fascination in the art of brewery and the science of fermentation, and utilized his travels to satisfy both curiosities. This went on for several years, going from church to church across Europe,South America, Africa, and even India; learning folklore, scripture, and local recipes. He settled down in his thirties to lead a small congregation in Boston, providing the communion utilizing locally acquired and produced resources, and helping guide his flock. In that time he gained some connection to the mafia, helping save their souls by providing sustenance and receiving equal compensation for his efforts in parishioners. His faith over the years has become firm. He has witnessed across the world many things that others thought only superstition and the product of imagination; in fact he knows some of those experiences may well be only imagination. Some however he cannot deny. He has witnessed possession, and evil manifest in man in a form that could only be described as alien. He has also witnessed the purifying power of the Almighty. Yes, there are powers at work beyond their comprehension- and only the prideful seek to understand such. The humble have faith in the Lord and only seek to serve and bring his children unto him.
