Barnaby The Bloated

Once a venerated oracle of the Gluttony cult, Barnaby ascended through decades of ritualistic consumption to become the high priest of their most sacred temple, where he conducted ceremonies that transformed the act of eating into a spiritual communion with chaos itself. When the cult's compound was raided by zealous knights, Barnaby alone escaped by consuming the temple's sacred reserves—a forbidden feast that granted him an unholy resilience and an insatiable hunger that no amount of food could ever truly satisfy. He fled to the borderlands and established The Gilded Carcass, a ramshackle tavern where his grotesque appearance and obsessive chewing became merely the quirks of an eccentric innkeeper rather than the telltale signs of a fallen priest. Behind the bar, Barnaby discovered that his true calling was not lost but merely transformed: by luring adventurers with promises of shelter and sustenance, he could acquire the rarest creatures across the realm, each one a new ingredient for his profane culinary experiments. His seemingly generous offer of free lodging in exchange for exotic monsters is a calculated trap, as every rare beast brought to his kitchen feeds both his corrupted faith and his endless, gnawing void. Though he maintains the facade of a simple barkeep, his sanctuary remains a shrine to indulgence, where the screams from the kitchen are drowned out by the cheerful clinking of mugs and the wet, rhythmic sound of his perpetual chewing.
