The child Xendros grew up very lonely because of his ugliness.
The nuns and other orphans had detested him, but the current Bishop of Santimieda pitied the ugly child. He too, was born to not fit the standards, as he does not have smooth skin, but a scaly and flaky one. He was thrown away by the window of his parent's home, and luckily landed at a bed of roses outside.
A poor merchant found him, but could not take care of this child himself. And so, he gave it away to the church.
The current Bishop, named by the nuns as Pontificus, had managed to maintain his skin to stop being ugly in their eyes. And yet he had never forgotten the reason why he was abandoned, and would not like children to experience a fate similar to him.
