Student Highlights Week 1: Lesser Evil

Name: Lesser Evil

Sex: Male

Race: Human, 1/13th chosen one (but who isn't?)

Hometown: The Planes of Abandonment

Strengths: Confusion, relationships with animals that aren't Weaponized Grizzly Bears.

Weaknesses: Proper Weaponized Grizzly Bear care, sense of direction, morality recognition.

History: As a baby, Lesser Evil was found wandering the Plains of Abandonment.*  His true parents are unknown and no record has been found of his birth**.  The traveler who found him, after a lengthy internal debate about whether or not to eat him***, traded him in at the Happyshine Pawn Shop for a croissant.   Always on the lookout for new blood for the Tower****, The Council decided to purchase him (And found some fashionable new robes while they were at it.)  I'm told that they got a good deal, as Lesser Evil was on sale at the time.

Since then, Lesser Evil has proved to be an above-average student at the tower.  His relationship with (most) animals is admirable, although the Tower Janitorial Ghost might disagree.  He also excels on the Happyshine Heretics as the team's Sprinting Sacker, or we're sure he will if we ever play a real game.

*A symbolic name.
**This information immediately set both the doomsday scribe and Elder Mary into an excited/terrified frenzy, so much so that they had to be sedated by another elder wielding Elder Fred.
***His words, not ours. 
****Figuratively, in this particular situation.

Notes: Lesser Evil was recently dismissed from rabies class as it was discovered he did not actually possess rabies, just a peculiar habit of foaming at the mouth when he's excited.  Or worried.  Or confused.

When asked why he didn't choose the name Greater Evil, he responded by narrowing his eyes and sternly saying "Because I don't play God, and neither should you."

Lesser Evil has a bad habit of getting lost*  and winding up in the ladies restroom.  He seems to be making a much, much more concerted effort to prevent this from occurring again after his recent educational encounter with Burning Mermaid.
*The Council is skeptical of this claim, but in the same breath, Lesser Evil takes getting lost to almost an art form.  The Council is considering asking him to teach a class on it after he graduates.  Debate on the matter is currently in limbo as one of the elders asked "Why?" and no one could come up with a suitable response.
