Where Marekcontinues the family looks, Barris is oftenthought of as “more an Ourosco than aStrolojca”, for his jolly, rubicund face andchubby physique take more after hismaternal side. Not aiming at a politicalcareer, but still more at ease with intellectualthan martial pursuits, Barris entered thepriesthood of the Church of Traladara.

He does, however, havenumerous female friends -- the Church ofTraladara takes a very relaxed stance onpersonal relations, and Barris takesmaximum advantage of this, which does notmake him very popular with the prudishscholars of the Church of Karameikos hesometimes deals with professionally.Lady Avdotya Strolojca, court lady (MU 1,L).
