Mifano

Mifano was a senior Selûnite priest responsible for the external affairs and dealings of Moonshadow Hall in the city of Yhaunn.

Description
Mifano always dressed well, to the point of being a dandy. He had silver hair since childhood, which gave him the appearance of wisdom and and maturity he might not have. He wore the blade Waxing Crescent as a symbol of his office in the temple.

Personality
He was a gregarious and chatty person, with a talent for putting others at ease and defusing situations. As a youth he was clownish and irresponsible, but he gained a measure of sensibility as an adult, though he was still shamelessly flirty when given the chance.

Relationships
He had a rivalry and personality clash with Velsinore as they competed for influence in the temple and hoped to succeed Moonmistress Dhauna.

Though he generally liked Feena, their relationship became increasingly strained as she asserted herself and overrode his wishes.

Activities
Mifano held the office of determining how Moonshadow Hall dealt with the outside world. The security of the main gate was his responsibility, as were interactions with other temples and the city at large. He was also heavily involved in soliciting donations and negotiating favorable deals for the temple, which often involved attending parties and get-togethers with wealthy benefactors.

History
When they were both fifteen, he was beaten up by the werewolf and fellow junior priest Feena Archwood for presenting her with a collar and leash as a gift.

In Eleasis of 1373 DR, he competed with Velsinore for favor with High Moonmistress Dhauna Myritar, hoping to be named her successor. When she began showing signs of frailty, he and Velsinore contacted the House of the Moon to gain support for forcibly removing Dhauna from her position.

Throughout this, he was being manipulated by the Sharran shade Variance Amatick — in the guise of the wealthy widow Lady Monstaed — into sharing gossip about the internal affairs of the temple.

When Velsinore was revealed as a heretic and a traitor, she maimed him as a distraction, incapacitating him while the temple was attacked by Variance's forces. Afterwards, he decided to stay in his present position and support Julith Harkspur as the new Moonmistress of the temple.
