Personality
Communication with Rito is difficult due to their parrot-like speech patterns. Though, they are heavily trauma-bonded to Kaboo and Bingus. Their eyes constantly remain in a slightly dissociative state ever since the afternoon of 'the warehouse incident'. Rito will become increasingly unstable the longer they are exposed to clowns or clown-like figures.
Rito is seen as loyal to their patron, Bingus, and loyal to Kaboo due to his conversion to the Pantheon of Radiance.

History
Rito is previously tied to the organization of the Xanathar.
After brutalizing guards at a Zhentarim warehouse, Rito and his group encountered a party of elf hybrids and a fey. Rito and their comrades fight with good effort but find themselves defeated at the hands of the party. Schpee the clown barbarian manages to decapitate one of their members, taking their life and swaying the battle in the party's favor. Hexed and left with only one heavily wounded comrade, the remaining Xanathar Kenku surrendered.
Interrogated, threatened, robbed, hexed, and then indoctrinated, Rito was in no place to make negotiations or argue. Thankful for their new lease on life, Rito found himself bound to a pact with their new patron Bingus, suffering an eternal hex on their Kenku soul, and being roped into being a follower of the Pantheon of Radiance by Kaboo.
They abandoned their Xanathar robes in exchange for Kaboo's maroon and cream blanket, fastened tightly with a spare emerald button from Bingus. The Kenku was dubbed 'Rito', short for Blanket-Burrito.
Campaign Development
On their search for Floon Blaagmar, the Party encounters a group of Kenku who seemingly brutalized the members on guard at a Zhentarim warehouse. The group of Kenku are defeated with great struggle from the party. A single hexxed Kenku and their heavily wounded comrade are all that is left, causing the Kenku's surrender.
Shardyn begins an interrogation of the remaining two Kenku who confess to tying up a pretty man in the back. They blather incoherently and continuously repeat 'Xanathar sends his regards'. Schpee picks up the decapitated head of one of the Kenku she slaughtered to threaten them for information.
Kaboo and Bingus both critically succeed at taking the hexxed Kenku with them. Bingus the warlock successfully becomes a patron for the Kenku due to his eternal hex on their soul, and the Kenku is wrapped in Kaboo's blanket like a burrito cat.
Bingus and Kaboo have a private conversation and upon their return, the Kenku is dubbed 'Rito', short for Blanket-Burrito. Rito joins the party.
