The man with a short goatee on his face, always wearing a smile, was the priest 'Joshua' mentioned by the parrot Felicity. However, his attire looked more like a sailor or pirate than a priest, especially when the parrot Felicity perched on his shoulder.
Although the priest's attire was casual, he indeed had some divine powers. He could pray to the nameless god in his heart, and through specific prayers, he could obtain specific divine effects.
Yes, that's right, a nameless god.
That was because Joshua, as a priest, didn't know the name of the god he served. The man with the goatee said he used to know, or so he thought. But he might have forgotten it later, maybe.
But in any case, Joshua said his faith was still very devout, and the divine being in his heart seemed to be very reasonable, generously responding to the prayer of the believer even though they didn't even know their own name.
