Story and profile
Who they are
Bonaventure is a general and Queen Theodora's right hand, and his counsel has carried weight in Saramis since Sergio was king. Saramis forbids written language, so he keeps the kingdom's history in his head. Learning about other countries, reciting poetry, memorising things and talking with sages are what he enjoys.
He starts as a Noble and works best as a magic user: Diviner, Shaman, Ovate, then Druid, with Troubadour as an alternative to Shaman. Dexterity growth of 50% and Magic of 45% make him accurate and hard-hitting for a caster. Sage Advice gives adjacent allies Dex+3, so he is better kept in the middle of a formation than out on his own. The cost is durability: Defence 30% and HP 35% mean he falls quickly if reached. Black Magic proficiency opens Ovate. The guide ranks him A. He joins in Part 1, automatically on Theodora's route.
