Oh, me? [He's glad for the distraction in the form of a question, and smiles, pointing at his robes.] I, well, I became a Scarback. Decided to sort things out for myself and I found faith. Now I'm going around helping others as best as I can. I try to visit family as much as possible, though. I think they're happy with what I do, though I guess they don't like seeing more scars than they have to.
[Not even the people closest to him want to know just how many ways he's hurt his own body in the name of his religion.]
