History
Oliver Jowett was a prominent cleric of Thyatis 30 years ago, and decided to follow Duke Stefan to Karameikos, that the Good Word of his Church properly be spread in the new duchy. Instead of remaining part of the primary church of Thyatis, Jowett and his patriarch-level friends chose to form a new church, based on their own interpretations of religious philosophies and the needs of the peoples of Karameikos. Thus was born the Church of Karameikos, strongly resembling the churches of Thyatis but with its own distinctive attitudes.
Personality
Jowett is a gentle, good natured man. He’s no zealot – he preaches the doctrine of his church as the compelling philosophy it is, not as the One True Way that many clerics believe it to be. As Patriarch of Specularum, he is head of the Church of Karameikos and the titular head of Order of the Griffon, and takes his responsibilities seriously. He uses his considerable political might only occasionally, when new decrees by the Duke might hamper the efforts of the Church, for instance. He works hard to contain the missionary fervor of Alfric Oderbry, his chief opponent within the Church. When not working on Church matters, Jowett enjoys collecting, reading and writing poetry.
Appearance
Jowett is in his mid-70s. He is mostly bald and keeps himself clean-shaven; he wears the lavish robes of his position without appearing pretentious.

GM Section
DMing Notes: Jowett is the cork in the bottleneck of church schism. Should he become ill or die, an internal war will wage within the Church, led by Patriarch Sherlane of Threshold (a friend and follower of Jowett) on one side and Alfric Oderbry on the other … for reasons you’ll see under Oderbry’s character description.
