The Cleric of Loki was a childhood friend of Old Blind Pete who wished to remain anonymous in case the Greysky City Thieves' Guild ever ended up catching Haley and her group.
He was one of the presumably very few clerics who were not in the pockets of the Guild, and was willing to assist Haley Starshine for a price.
Biography[]
When assassins from Greysky City's Thieves Guild came searching for Haley, the Cleric was contacted in order help Haley contact Durkon Thundershield by Sending, eventually resurrect Roy Greenhilt, as well as helping the apparently sick Belkar Bitterleaf (actually suffering from the affects of the activated Mark of Justice, which was forgotten by everyone due to their trip to the Oracle of Sunken Valley). Although quickly able to diagnose and willing to cure Belkar, since the Cleric knew the passcode and process on how to remove the Mark of Justice, Haley refused to pay the Cleric for that and instead only had him contact Durkon.
However when Blind Pete betrayed the group to the Thieves Guild in order to get his eyes regrown, the Cleric ended up being trapped by the Thieves Guild. Desperate for assistance, the Cleric anxiously asked the comatose Belkar if he is any good at fighting. The unconscious halfling weakly whispered that he is a "Sexy Shoeless God of War". Accepting this answer, the cleric removed the curse for free with Lord Shojo's apparent passcode "Evolve or die". With the curse removed and Mr. Scruffy supporting, Belkar gleefully slaughtered the majority of the Guild with the occasional heal or assistance from the Cleric armed with a mace.
Belkar then returned the favor by teaching the Cleric how to take revenge on his old friend for betraying him after trapping the formerly blind Pete. Although Pete claimed to have figured the whole situation, with him apparently returning to "rescue" his old friend, the Cleric saw through Pete's ploy and nicknamed the former thief who was too-clever-for-his-own-good, "Brainy Pete". Then with ironic viciousness similar to the Greysky Thieves' Guild, the Cleric crushed Brainy Pete's skull with his mace before skipping town.
