A cultured and exotic courtesan, working as an agent of House Alearnan. A spiritual bard connected to his ancestors. Zealously focused on his divine task.
The Church of the Dark Sister
The Narynites occupy the dark altars of the triads, and the serve richly appointed chapels dedicated to Naryne in the palaces of kings. Her orders draw their membership almost exclusively from nobles who support the faith. In many cultures, aristocrats give their lesser sons and daughters—those children least likely to inherit—to the church, to join one priesthood or another. As many nobles are educated and raised by Narynite priests, they often choose the Dark Sister’s church. Thus, members of the clergy usually have noble blood, though they can be bastards, and need not descend from the hundred the goddess blessed in mythic times.
Raised by his own Swan Knight and told stories of being a child of one of Narynes Swan Servants. When the Swans would step on the mortal plane and bear children blessed with talent. His family lived under the belief that their ancient line were blessed mediators between Naryne and mortals. Bringing word from her servants and souls before/after they had moved on. Much knowledge/power was gained by this house over time but they mainly kept their gifts and ancestor worship hidden. For all of their secrecy, disaster befell the family and they were all killed in a fire at their ancestral home. Shomari was the only survivor, saved by his Swan Knight. His Knight delivered him to the Church of the Dark Sister, dying on the steps of the opulent temple. The child was alone with a small nikisi statuette, a flannel mojo bag, and a necklace of Naryne.
Once his parents died, he was given to the Church of the Dark Sister. Raised under the faith and eventually became a Swan Knight under House Alearnan. Not a true Swan Knight because he is not a Paladin but acts as an Ebony Courtesan. Aids in the protection of the noble scions of the house. Tasked more with information gathering and fixing issues. Educating young nobles in diplomacy, politics, art, and statecraft. Deals in secrets, lies, sex, and knowledge. Not unused to combat as all swan knights.
Does not know why he was sent on an adventure with this group of individuals but it has to do with furthering his houses influence or protecting that which is sacred, the nobility. The first quest given to the Names of Eternity is important to him if a noble patron of import/good character is in danger.
