===Captain Guisso===

Once a sailor of the seas of the Young Kingdoms, Guisso settled in
Bakshaan after he was introduced to the Temple of the Straasha there
by the previous high priest. He quickly became one of Straasha's most
devout followers, and when the last priest passed away, he took up his
position.

Unfortunately, Guisso is still haunted by his past. His career began
as a sailor on a Purple Towns brig. The Captain, Heorsin Harddeal, was
a poor merchant and a worse sailor. When he placed his ship in grave
danger during a storm, an altercation erupted between Guisso and the
Captain. In the rough-and-tumble fight, Guisso managed to gouge out
one of Heorsin's eyes before subduing his Captain and taking command
of the ship. It was only through Guisso's decisions that the ship
survived the storm; if Heorsin had been at the helm, his ship would
have joined Pyaray's Chaos Fleet at the bottom of the sea.

After arriving safely upon land, Guisso fled for his life. He
continuing doing so for two decades, jumping from one ship to another,
until he finally felt safe. It seemed that either Heorsin was dead, or
the old wound forgotten. However, since settling in Bakshaan, and
taking up the mantle of Priest, Guisso has heard some disturbing
inquiries concerning himself.

Description: Though 43, Guisso is still a broad, stout man. His black

slowing down.

'''Story Ideas:'''

* A Priest of the Church of Goldar in Bakshaan spots Captain Guisso, and recognises him from a description given by Heorsin, now a fellow priest in the Purple Towns. The players become a pawn in one side of this conflict, as the considerable financial powers of the Church of Goldar are turned towards Guisso's downfall.
* Guisso introduces players to Straasha's Temple (see below).
