The patient monk who was an impatient bard

Besouro was trained since he was a kid at the monastery of the Capoeira Monks. This monastery, once secluded and very selective with their attendees, opened their doors to new practitioners since the beginning of the reign of Queen Morghesa. Humans and other humanoids, now fleeing from the destruction of the war seek refugee among the walls of the monastery. The monastery stays in a high-plain, on top of the Mount Roraima, in the far north of the continent. The capoeira monks enlist themselves in the ranks of the resistance in order to support the rebellion against the war. For years, Queen Morghesa tried to subdue to the monastery, but old, and foreign, magic protects them from her attacks.

Besouro is a changeling, and his parents died during the war against Queen Morghesa. No one exactly knows where the changelings come from, but due to their abilities, they usually lived hidden among human villages. One of the villages close to the monastery was attacked by the forces of the seven dwarves, and Besouro's family got killed when he was just four years old. He was saved from starvation by Master Bimba, who brought him to the monastery. There, he trained hard and quickly raised on the ranks as a Capoeira Monk. Due to his changeling nature, he was approached by an inner section of the Capoeira Monks to be trained in the Way of Shadows. The Shadow Capoeira Monks are responsible to provide intelligence for the monastery and their allies. They train to become true shadow dancers. Only a few of the high-rank monks know about the true identity of Besouro's race. To the others, he appears as a normal human.

During his training, Besouro got close to a bard that once lived in the monastery. Since Besouro was the only changeling on the entire monastery, he got quite lonely. The bard's songs and tales about changelings was the only source of knowledge he ever had about his people. The bard was old and very wise, had seen the world, he told Besouro. Besouro loved his master, but the bard was the family Besouro never had.
In his young age, the bard had been very famous. He wandered the entire continent, he was a friend of kings and queens. He was very smart, very charismatic and with a strong character. He was super stubborn, and because of the success of his deeds, put himself above everyone else. Albeit his success, the bard lost everything he had, even before the war of Morghese, due to two big problems: he was addicted to luck games, and to women.

After he came back from a very long mission, Besouro found out that the bard had died in an attack from Morghese. Feeling strong anger within himself, Besouro screamed with his mouth and with his soul. His pain was so strong, that at that moment he split in two: he had been struck by the changelings' disease: the second persona. At that moment, a second personality took over Besouro's body: an incarnation of the Bard. Every once in a while, the Bard takes over Besouro's body, he changes his appearance and attains to the most strong characteristics of the bard: arrogant, short-temper, stubborn, and most importantly: addicted to gambling and women. He also becomes much more lovely, charismatic and seductive, contrasting with the monastic and incredibly patience of Besouro. Also, he gets the proficiency in playing the Berimbau, the ancient musical instrument of the Capoeira Monks, which he uses to entertain the crowd.

In one of the missions, the Shadow Capoeira Monks sent him, to spy over the brothers, he got arrested. It was a beginners mistake, he could not control his temper when hearing bad things about the "stupid dancing monks, that jump like monkeys and are useless as worms". The Bard came out and started a big discussion.  His sudden change, from the frightened and silent villager he was transformed into the opulent, noise and very angry bard had called the attention of the guards, which had no trouble in arresting him, while in his Bard form, and threw him in a prison cell. Once in prison, the bard gave up, and he could resume his capoeirista form. The guards knew about his identity, but not the nature of his mission. Yet.
