Sir Pie Eater
Pinion (a.k.a. Sir Pie Eater)
Sir Pieeater is the pseudonym of a popular traveling court jester in the land of Kantoc. Because knighly culture is so important in Kantoc, he often takes on faux-knightly personas, hence his stage name of "Sir Pie Eater"
He often juggles pies or throws pies but he doesn't actually eat as many pies as you would think. He only eats pies if it is part of a stage act.
In private he eats a rigidly controlled diet, so he can maintain his acrobatic prowess and youthful vigor. Personal maintenance is a concern to him since he is a physical performer and is now in his forties. By satyr standards, he is a very light drinker.
I use him as a point of view character to provide quotes or flavor texts for any article where I can justify it. So far that is only four articles, but more will follow

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Sir Pie Eater is lean and athletic and vibrant. Many are surprised by his true age.
Special abilities
Sir Pie Eater is a very gifted juggler, dancer, and acrobat. He is a reasonably good singer. He has a strong repertoire of dirty and clean jokes.
Apparel & Accessories
While performing, he usually wears a standard jester outfit tailored for a satyr's physic or an over the top foppish costume knight's regalia.
He rarely removes his performance clothes when around the nobility, but he will usually wear earth toned commoners clothes specially selected to blend in when he is off duty.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
His mother was a lady in waiting for the daughter of a count.
He learned basic courtly manners in this environment but found this life a bit stifling, so he joined a performing satyr troupe at a young age where he developed his large repetroire of dancing and acrobatic routines.
Sexuality
Satyrs in general are known for their virility but satyr fauns have a culture that encourages them to tone down their flirtations and bawdy jokes around humans.
Given the fancy crowds he performs for and the rigid rules of propriety among the Kantoca upper class, Sir Pie Eater has a double dose of sexual restraint often going out of his way to not appear flirtatious and playfully shooting down any attempt to flirt with him.
Many believe speculate that whenever the nobles aren't looking, he can be found at a brothel, but some satyrs say that he spiritually neutered himself and does not have a true satyr's libido.
Employment
by Me with Midjourney
Sir Pie Eater works freelance for various Kantoca courts. Given how popular and famous he is, he can afford to charge high prices and be selective of his clients.
He likes to travel and prefers to make a circuit of special occasions like banquets and weddings as opposed to taking a full time courtier position somewhere. If he did seek a full time position, he could easily get a position in a ducal court if not the royal court.
Failures & Embarrassments
Sir Pie Eater is well-liked and appreciated by most human lords and ladies who met him, but he is far less well-liked in satyr circles, especially those who are from herds other than the satyr fauns.
Many satyrs call him "a domesticated goat" and criticize him for embodying the worst traits of the Faun herd. They say he worked so hard to appear non-threatening that he is a barely a satyr at all.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Because he is so well-liked by many rich and powerful lords and ladies, he has a lot of access ot the halls of power for a Faun of common birth and has more than a few secrets under his foppish cap.
Religious Views
Sir Pie Eater is moderately pious keeper of the Nonagaon as it were, but he prefers to keep his religious observances limited to the presence other Fauns rather than to the human nobles he often works for.
He especially values Mera's values of peace and Nami's values of freedom.
Social Aptitude
Sir Pie Eater is a perfect jester. He is quick witted and nimble with his feet and his tongue. He radiates warmth and charisma and has a good instinct for knowing just how far he can jibe someone without hurting their feelings.
If he accidentally steps too far, he is very good at walking it back with a self-deprecating joke or outlandish stunt.
Mannerisms
He has a performer's flair even when in normal conversation and tends to gesture with his hands dramatically often.
