Kashaw Vesh is a human cleric, a member of the Slayer's Take guild. He was chosen to be the cleric of a dark goddess named Vesh who married him from the moment he was born. He was trained to be a healer in order to balance out Vesh's overly dark presence. During his fifteenth name-day, they consummated the marriage and, as part of a ritual called the 'bind'ach maano', Vesh inflicted fifty one-inch cuts on her right arm, which Kashaw then repeated on his own right arm. This ritual allowed him a glimpse into her soul, which allowed him to see Vesh's memories and learn of her evil nature. Afterwards, Kashaw attempted to kill her but was unsuccessful. In retaliation, she slaughtered his village.
He wandered for a time, becoming a soldier, then a healer before falling in with the Slayers Take. He's made some good decisions...and some bad ones.
Kashaw has a caustic personality and a scathingly cynical view on life, frequently making sarcastic remarks about friend and foe alike. But he has proven himself to be a reliable ally, even a caring individual for those who can weather his personality long enough to become his friend.
