[sblock=Background]
Strontium originally decorated the facade of a temple of Wee Jas in the Great Free City of Greyhawk. Eventually, the background radiation of magic from both priests and communicants reached such a fever pitch that it animated Strontium and a few of his "siblings." Ultimately, Strontium's superiors in the Gargoyle pecking order decided that they did not care for his lawful behavior at all. Strontium proved to be little more than a wet blanket at more than one gargoyle party/orgy of destruction. So they finally got tired of Strontium and have now shipped him off to spend his days lurking on the eaves of the new cathedral in the thorp of Kraymor on the west bank of the Sheldomar River in the Kingdom of Keoland. It is a testament to his lawful nature that he still reveres Wee Jas, in recognition of his personal origin, even after his mistreatment at the claws and fangs of his fellow gargoyles there, and, indeed, after the utter contempt in which he is held by Wee Jas, which is totally mutual.
Strontium is not particularly devoted to Wee Jas, and, in general, is disgusted by the whole idea of "worship." When he is angry, he often utters curses of Wee Jas, and asks questions like, "Why are you torturing me again, Lady of Pain, didn't I fulfill your totally unreasonable requirements adequately?" But Strontium is always very careful to toe the line when it comes to the actual required services to Wee Jas. Grudgingly, perhaps, but he does it, nonetheless. For Her part, Wee Jas enjoys getting the prescribed religious service from someone who hates her, because it makes her feel even more powerful than she really is. It's as if Wee Jas says, "Look at that miserable gargoyle! Ha! Even Heironeous doesn't have such a great influence over mortals who hate him!" And, in return, Wee Jas answers Strontium's prayers for spells, as is expected of her, but she will never stir one little finger beyond that minimum. To be sure, if, indeed, Strontium does have a soul, and if Wee Jas is ever in a position to exercise power over that soul directly, then Strontium will be on the express train to eternal torment, of that there is no doubt. But, being the gargoyle that he is, Strontium would just say, "Well, I can't say no one warned me. I lived my life in the way that I chose. If there are consequences for that, so be it. Wee Jas is a crappy skank, anyway."
