Garzól is a Tortle Order Domain Cleric and player character in the Open Table D&D 5e campaign Curriculum of Chaos. He is an older gentleman and ex-clergyman who sought out enrollment in the Deroleux's Select Conservatory of the Arcane to learn the inner workings of the world that could not be found in any holy book.

Physical Appearance

Garzól is an aged man, with a slight hunch in his back that is only slightly masked by the large mudstone-colored shell that adorns it. Bronze-yellow scales cover his body, and bright yellow eyes sit within slightly sunken facial features, heavy with age. He wears white robes with faded yellow-brown accents, clerical in fashion but sporting no obvious holy sigil or emblem. Beneath these vestments sits a set of chainmail armor that can only barely be seen peeking out at the collar. Several pouches and bags of various sizes line the man's belt, filled with supplies for travel.

Personality

Garzól is a kindly man, gladly providing his healing services to anyone who needs them. He's a worldly fellow who has seen much in his life and seems to have an anecdote for every situation. He is also very self-aware of his age, often cracking jokes about it that sometimes skim the line of self-deprecation, but that he insists are always just in good fun. Deep within the man, however, is a fire that was lit some time ago that cannot be doused. There is an intensity, an unbreakable conviction for a deeply held belief that carries the capacity for a very different disposition than the one Garzól normally wears. At the end of the day though: he cares for the people around him deeply and will go to great lengths to see them happy. Sharing wisdom, healing wounds, telling a joke, or fighting alongside them, Garzól wishes above all to simply be of use.

History

Garzól was born and raised in a religious congregation in the south of Isonhound near Galloway. From what he's revealed, he had lived there all his life and trained as a cleric, but suddenly decided to leave in favor of academic pursuits at Deroleux Academy. He keeps his holy symbol and book hidden away from view, but still keeps them on his person as they are integral to the use of his magic, a fact he seems to be disdainful of. He regards his magic and his clerical past with a level of irreverence in moments of honesty, and playfully dismisses any complements paid to such aspects by others while in public settings, calling them antiquated and not worth the focus of the youth. When asked what brought him to the academy, he vaguely said that he became disillusioned with what he'd been doing all his life, got a bit mad, and then made a bet...but that's all the detail he seemed willing to give.

Languages

Garzól can speak Common, Celestial, Primordial, and Sylvan. His time as a holy man and healer exposed him to many obscure and old languages that he picked up on over the years, the three listed besides Common being his most proficient.

Powers and Abilities

Garzól's healing abilities yet remain, even after leaving the church. He has access to many clerical spells and rituals, and can prepare and memorize a short list of them at dawn each day to have on hand. Garzól's voice also has a unique commanding power, able to spur the reflexes of his allies at a moment's notice when he spots an opening for them to attack, and also briefly charm enemies as his voice of authority rings in their ears.

Attacks and Weapons

Garzól does not often use weapons in combat, but wields a quarterstaff and shield for protection should push come to shove. Even devoid of those, however, he can use his reptilian claws to slash at foes as a last resort.
