He is a kindly and benevolent man. He is plump monk dressed in a simple ankle-length robe. A belt of thin leather is tied around his ample waist. He walks on worn sandals. The monk in simple clothing was often bent in prayer toward the cross in the monastery's Chapel, in deep worship. When Graham had prayed with him at the alter asked the young king his name. After Graham had told the monk his name, he told Graham he had heard of him and his quest. He then gave Graham his cross that he had worn around his neck, and told Graham it would protect him from evil. The cross protected Graham from Count Dracula, and other undead of western Kolyma. He then resumed his prayers. When Graham visited the Chapel later, he was no longer their, having moved elsewhere in the monastery.
