High Priest Cosimir was born and raised right here in Deadgate. Orphaned at the age of four, he grew up on the streets, turning to thievery for survival. As he grew into his teens, a priest of Ranald saved his life. The experience influenced Cosimir greatly as he began to think the only reason he had survived at all was because Ranald had been looking out for him. Soon after he became an initiate and has followed the path of Ranald ever since.[1a]
Now at 50, he is known as the “old man” by most of the cult members. is is something of a misnomer however; as Cosimir is still rather fit and his skills are formidable. He is bald with a white beard and blue eyes. He wears a suit of leather armour decorated with the familiar “X” pattern of Ranald. Ranald blesses the armour, increasing its defense to everything but his head.[1a]
Cosimir runs the cult with the master thief Dieter Langmans. They have amassed quite a fortune here in Deadgate and only they know the location of the cult’s treasure. It is buried in one of the hideouts behind a door with two intricate locks that cannot be picked. Each of them holds one key so that neither one of them can access the treasure without the other. The cult has stored 3,000 gc in coins and 2,000 gc in gems.[1a]
Cosimir is sensible and friendly to all guild members. When not in his official capacity he prefers to be in disguise walking around the streets. Anyone bumping into him would think he was just another derelict. Cosimir uses this opportunity to learn developments in the city and to watch for other thieves in action. He always keeps a mental note of thieves who are not members of the cult so he can send some of his men to see them.[1a]
