One of the Big Bads on the second half of this leg of the journey. Buyard Cholik (Boo-yard Ch-aw-lick) is Bramwell's Spiritual leader and De-factor mayor/governor. There is a king of Bramwell but he doesn't play an active role in society and leaves that to his Spiritual leader. Older human, grey hair, long red and black robes, speaks softly but with purpose. He is old and does look sickly for his age. He stands close, peers people up and down who he first meets. He always seems mostly friendly, but because he stands so close, gives off creepy vibes. Always touches a shoulder before he ends a conversation and says, "May Dien-Ap-Sten guide your path"

Note: Dien-Ap-Sten is a false prophet, and is really the demon Kabraxis, who Buyard is attempting to bring through the Black Road to enter the mortal realm.
