Shepherd Derrial
Book first came aboard Serenity at Eavesdown Docks on the planet
of Persephone. He wasn't looking at where the ships were going, just at
the ships themselves. He chose Serenity, with a little persuasion
from Kaylee. He told the crew he had just left Southdown Abbey, where he
used to live as a Shepherd, a religious man. A man of the cloth. But
there is an air of mysteriousness surrounding Book. For as a Shepherd,
he knows a lot about firearms, from how to fire them, and identifying
them by the marks they leave on bodies and shooting them to pin point
accuracy. The bounty hunter, Jubal Early, when told by Simon that Book
was indeed a Shepherd, there was no doubt in Jubal's mind that he wasn't
in fact a Shepherd. Book however is a kind hearted man; he's helped out
the crew on many occasions. Despite being a Shepherd, he has had a hand
in the less legitimate business dealings of Mal's.
