Jim/Ban-Ji-Say

AKA "The Mad One". Ban-Ji-Say used to be a proud corsair on a Carthaginian slaving vessel. Sadly for him, the sea is a capricious thing when the captain refuses to pay Dagon his tithe, and Ban-Ji-Say found himself wrecked in a storm and washed up on a barren coast. This and the subsequent bout of heatstroke before the Pillars found him has led to new and interesting phobias and a rapid slide towards gibbering unhinged penitence.
