Richard Bharr (known to pretty much everyone as Bharr), was just an Amnian youth when he stepped onto one of the boats headed for Maztica. Like many Helmites at the time, he took up residence in the recently founded city of Helmsport, to escape the increasing prejudice against the Helmite faith.
 
Enthusiastically, he travelled forth from the city to take up a life of exploration and discovery, but working on the frontiers of the uncharted land he soon learned of the various atrocities committed against the Maztican natives by his fellow Helmites.
 
Shocked and disgusted by what had happened, Bharr left his old life, and took up a new one, one of penitence in the name of the Watcher. Shaving his head and living out a life of solitude in the wilds of Maztica, fate soon left him stranded on the island of Ymph.
 
On Ymph, Bharr was once again confronted with the struggle between nature and civilization, and the other members of his faith. It was then that he ran into Braedon Ironmantle, the soon-to-be leader of the Reformed Numinous Order. Bharr was among the first two initiated into the faith of the Three and One by his hand.
 
With the death of Ironmantle, Bharr once again departed to the jungles in solitude, where he long meditated on the ways of the Three. It was over a year later when he returned from the jungle to once again join the ranks of the Order, joining in their new struggle against the coming End.
 
 
The following screenshots are only a small amount. This due to the fact that half of them (especially the ones from my first run) are saved on a different computer.
 

 
Explaining the meaning of Bergamar's Pilgrimage to two initiates.
 

 
Watching the Dominion's gate.
 

 
Everyone from the Order got on the Golden Alliance's nerves, except Bharr.
 

 
They always did take a long time to open up.
 

 
The Order tried all the people it executed very fairly.
 

 
Bharr prays at the crystal spire after being killed in the Bogs war, but two half-orcs who didn't understand that the Fugue Plane is an IC area had to ruin it (one later said 'okay, now I'm gonna play black ops').
 

 
On his last solitary walk through the jungles of Ymph.
 

 
Eventually, Bharr was killed by his own fears and doubts (look how huge they are!). A suitable end for a man who chose to punish himself for the misdeeds of others.
 
 
I really enjoyed playing Bharr. For me, it was an experiment in taking a personal level of faith to the maximum, but because Bharr had 8 CHA, he was ever so bad at expressing that to others. Tossing in a big pinch of personal doubts made this, to me, a very interesting character to play. Simple on the surface, but ever so deep inside, and nobody would ever know about it.
 
Thanks to all Order PCs, both in my first and second run. Also thanks to many of the Stargazers I've roleplayed with. Extra special thanks to Iron_Oligarch, Halfbrood, LiS and Capricious.

Never knew Bharr was such an old timer.

Didn't spend nearly enough time with him as I should have and only scratched the surface, but it was cool to hang out regardless.

An interesting dude after all is said and done.

Aww. Even though I only interacted with you for just a bit in the Wastrel, it was a great and fun conversation. Wished I could've seen more.
