Appearance[sblock=Portrait]
[/sblock]With his brown-grey beard and friendly amber eyes, Brother Pi looks like a typical dwarf. Apparently unarmed and dressed in simple working clothes, he is often seen sweeping the floors with his sturdy broom.
Personality
Calm, friendly and cheerful, Brother Pi has come a long way from the cruel and selfish dwarf he once was. Having found peace of mind, he is very tolerant of the flaws and struggles of those around him, seeking only to guide them towards their destiny.
Brother Pi himself will readily admit he is still very much a student, but gradually he is learning to take on the role of mentor, taking a backseat to events unfolding around him.
Background
The dwarf once known as Pilatus Sigma Omega was a poor orphan boy growing up in the dirty gutters and dangerous alleyways of Fruen, capital of the Theocracy of Thallin. Although he never speaks of it, some know he was recruited by the Iron Order, one of the many thieves’ guilds, learning to stay out of the hands of the King’s ruthless soldiers, and was eventually assigned to steal a magical sword belonging to a reclusive man named Hassan living in the Jagged Peaks mountains.
The hermit was waiting for him, not at all surprised at the dwarf’s arrival. Hassan asked why Pi would take his ninja-to; whether it was the right thing to do. Having no real answer, the dwarf was quickly outwitted verbally. Enraged, he attacked with a crude club, trying to land a hit on the man who stepped just out of reach with every move. Trying several other moves, Pi was defeated each time by the superior warrior, who held his magical sword up in defense but did not move to strike for a very long time.
When at last he had had enough, Hassan deftly knocked out the would-be thief with a single blow with the handle of his ninja-to. When Pi woke up, he was unbound and unarmed, with Hassan out of sight. Confused, the dwarf wandered the mountains until he found the hermit warrior making tea for two.
For reasons beyond him, Pi found he was offered more than tea; freedom, shelter, compassion, possibly friendship.
Confused and angry, Pi turned and left for the city. However, nearing the city walls, doubt crept in. How would the guild react to his failure? Was that truly the life he wished to live, a scared little slave to greed, probably dead within a decade by the hands of the law or a rival?
For a week, Pi lingered outside the city, pondering, watching. One day, he made a decision, and returned to the mountains. Not showing any surprise, Hassan welcomed the dwarf’s return with an already prepared cup of tea.
As time went by, the two men found an easy rhythm in their daily activities; Pi made tea and swept the floors of whatever place they made camp, while Hassan cooked and practiced his martial skills. It was unclear to Pi when his actual training started, because it felt like he had been meditating and moving quietly for weeks before he was asked to practice these skills together.
As he committed himself to Master Hassan’s training, the dwarf adopted the moniker Brother Pi, focusing particularly on the arts of moving unnoticed. When Hassan’s allies of the Fallow’s Cross Adventurers visited, or whenever news from the city was needed, Brother Pi was there, unseen, unheard. When the old thieves’ guild sought out the dwarf for settling the score on not acquiring the magical ninja-to, Brother Pi found Iron Ian, the Order’s vindictive guild master, in his secret chambers and after several failed attempts at reconciliation, dragged the unconscious man to a known hideout of the powerful Assassins’ Guild, where the Iron Order had a considerable debt. The shattered thieves’ guild never bothered Brother Pi again.
After many years, Brother Pi instinctively knows that although he still has much to learn, Master Hassan is counting on him to eventually become a teacher and mentor to those around him. Adopting the guise of a simple cleaner, the former thief moved to Cauldron City, hoping to eventually make a pilgrimage to the lands of Kanpur where his master comes from. Brother Pi currently works in the Gateway Inn, sweeping the floors while looking for potential students to train and helping those in need in small ways.
