History
Priest was the first of the Balterin to
appear on the coast near the Aquarium. While other Balterin
would swim nearby, he would lounge on the beach. He became
somewhat of a local celebrity, this attention turning into him
appearing in videos and photos and being fed buckets of food.
Eventually some concern arose about his condition and the BFSA
interveened. A combination of health concerns for Priest and
general safety concerns for the population resulting in him
being rehomed to the facility, and while retains his freedom,
spends most of his time there.
Modern Day
Priest, being the founder and most senior
member of his Pod, is the de-facto caretaker of the youngest pod
members, and generally keeps the others in line to prevent
fights with other balterin or humans. Hes a very slow moving
balterin comparied to the swift and agressive balterin in the
area. If hes not swimming with Blaschko, He can be found along
the beach.
Off the Coast of South East Queensland, Australia, Balterin swim and play in the sun. This pod is made up of members cared for by the BFSA, an organisation dedicated to the study and protection of these beautiful creatures. Their pod is lead by Priest, an old Balterin who has taken up the role of father of the pod. Priest was amongst the first Balterin to be taken in by the BFSA, and has since become a nationwide icon. Amongst his pod is the dramatic Phonk, who hunts alone and with a ferocity that causes humans to avoid him. There is also Blashcko and Marimo, the youngest members of the pod. The two of them are the organisations darlings, Marimo is an Ambassador in training, frequently interacting with guests at the facility. Meanwhile, Blaschko is only a few months old but has gained international fame for her striking and rare chimerism. Thanks to the popularity of these individuals, the BFSA makes more than enough money to support their facility and the Wynumn State Aquarium.
