An awkward and somewhat corny gnome who serves as a quirky aide to the council of elders in Volesk after working his way to that position for some time. Although remaining very devoted to the cause, Strivik has faltered somewhat from the cult's preachings after choosing to help the party. In his years as councilor, a deep-seeded resentment grew between himself and his counterpart in the guild, Petrick Crane a known and adept assassin. As conflict arose between their both vested love interest in a halfling known as Violet, it became clear there was a rivalry soon to run with blood. After failing to save his beloved Violet, Petrick murdered her for her refusal of his promises of a different future away from Tolria and the cult with only him. Shortly after this, Strivik was killed by Kalekai to silence him from informing the party further than he already had.
