Father Tihomir

Father Tihomir was the parish priest of Blackbridge before his death lead to the ascension of Anselm, acolyte of the chapel. When the plague arrived in Newstone, Father Tihomir departed to aid Father Clancy and the ailing villagers by delivering whatever plague relief supplies Blackbridge could offer. However, on the way through the Wosswood, his caravan was assailed by Markus Aldhard, an assassin of the Esoteric Order of the Gargoyle and the Court of Locusts. Tihomir, along with his curate, and three of four guards, were slain by the assassin, yet the fourth guard, Pierrick Blackhair, managed to mortally wound his attacker. Severely wounded himself, the guard then wandered into a kobold ambush while Markus Aldhard wandered into a goblin den.

Tihomir's body was found by the Heroes of Blackbridge, on a mission from the Church of Sol to investigate his disappearance, and cremated along with the rest of those fallen at the assassin's hands. The adventurers found the body of his assassin, and after dealing with the politics of the humanoid kingdoms that ruled the Wosswood, learned of his apparent affiliation with the Infernal Pact. Their discovery lead to the formation of the Fifth Crusade.
