[QUOTE="Gnome Quixote, post: 3428360, member: 41433"] Bufer is a cleric/rogue, a student of gnomish High Priest Boddynock Barennackle, who--along with Bufer's father and Lord Rubik of Wits End--was once part of a dissident religious order dedicated to bringing down the Church of Lothian, known as the Laughing Knives. Bufer has long been eager to carry on in their place, but the Church's waning influence on the Empire, and his growing friendship with Emmerson Grant have made this increasingly unlikely. As a child, he received several visions from Garl Glittergold himself, indicating that Bufer's destiny lay not in ministering to his own people, but in forging his own path among the other races of the world. He also suggested that Bufer would be responsible for bringing about a peace between bitter blood enemies. Due to a pivotal encounter with a kobold druid in his youth, Bufer has always assumed he was meant to make peace between the gnomes of Wit's End and the kobolds of Green Mountain. Recent events, however, have led him to believe that Garl may be expecting him to think even bigger. Unfortunately, Bufer has proven to be a rather dismal diplomat so far, so we'll see what happens, I guess.
