Jim/Pete Keeper

Cardinal Peter Keeper. Friar of Prosperity, Mud Wizard, Porn Merchant and Physick

How does a mud-stained blood-stained son of a mage and a doctor, dropped in the middle of a war-ravaged spot, in King's Stoke farming lands by Jotun hands besiege-ed grow up to be a Cardinal and Keeper?

Landskeeper for King's Stoke, a fortified town on the boundaries of the Mourn and site of the last battle against the King of Dawn. Knew the basics of performing fertility rituals, and pretty much anything about any healing or economic magic. Could be found either trudging all over the field trying to get ritualists and targets into the same place, or performing field medicine on Marchers and aggravated falchion malpractice on barbarians. Was very pointedly a mage and proved it with jokes about his implement. Possibly learned rituals simply to force a captive audience to suffer dick jokes. Had a sideline in writing and printing pornography, and invented the pocket-sized wipe-clean smut card.

Pete recently learned that losing the Mournwold was all his responsibility, as he was the Senator of it in his previous life. Burned in a wicker man to redeem his sins and everyone else's. As far as he knew, held the confirmed all-empire reincarnation speed record due to that one. Became Dedicated to Prosperity and seemed to be in some sort of Buddy Cop movie with the Cardinal. One's a League Bishop. The other's a Mud Wizard. Together, they FIGHT HERESY. Then she died, and he's traking down the scum responsible for his partner's death in the sequel. True to the form of a buddy cop movie, recently promoted Cardinal Pete died on the day he was supposed to retire from combat, having tiredly agreed to one last job.

Wrote a book on healing, too:
