Default Re: bending stereotypes

A Renaissance Patrician who is pious, incorruptable, and honorable, and a skillful merchant-prince but has no taste for Humanist painting, thinks Gothic style is perfectly OK by him, and wouldn't have the slightest idea how to mix a poison.

A Medieval Monk who eats a good diet, studies and exercises regularly, does not obsess with ritual abasement, thinks miracles a possible event but is skeptical about any given report, and has never persecuted a single heretic in his life.

A bedouin who kicks weary travelers out of his tent.

A galley captain who if you suggested using slaves would laugh at such an inefficient method.
