Who Pius of Grizz is

Pius is the fifteenth resident bear, found in the ruins with an altar, candelabras and a headdress shaped like a fountain-pen nib. He is a believer first and a bear second, and he has spent his afterlife keeping a faith alive for the Emperor.

He has no shop. His story is about devotion, hierarchy and what happens when the object of your faith turns out to be a person with very ordinary needs.

“A devoted high priest still tending a faith whose emperor is nearby.”

What they do for your camp

Story quests in the ruins; no permanent shop.

Where to find them

Island location

North-west of Bruin’s camp and east of Ursula’s garden, among the stained-glass altar and stone shrines.

Notes for the daily round

1

His early questline touches other bears’ story items. Keep quest relics and mementos even when a request seems complete.

2

He may ask for high-value cooked dishes and crafted objects. Before selling a surplus batch, check whether a resident bear has an open request.

3

There is no shop. Visit the ruins when you can batch his dialogue with Bearos and Dalia, who share the same late-game neighborhood.

Story, without the spoilers

Pius’s faith gives him purpose, but it also keeps him from seeing the Emperor as anything other than a doctrine. His story is a wry look at institutional loyalty and the moment a believer has to decide what to do with a very human god.
