Uri Sunderland's Links
Uri is utterly terrified of Isaiah and rightfully so. He applied for a job at the church after being promised a large sum of money, but was swiftly initiated into the cult after it was requested he bring a friend with him; said friend was sacrificed, and Uri was blackmailed into supplying the cult with younger bodies for Isaiah's pickier demons. At first, Uri was resistant, reaching out for help from the local police, only to realize they were allied with the church. Afterward, it became apparent to Uri how absurd his story would sound to any sane person, and under the eye of Isaiah, there was no opportunity to escape, especially not when he had seven siblings to look after. Isaiah has punished Uri in the past for looking for help, at one point resulting in a broken leg. Learned helplessness and hopelessness would set in as Uri settled into his role, but disdain for these murderers would always simmer underneath. After a mysterious being rose from the lake and attacked the church, Uri killed a cult member and disposed of his body in the lake in a desperate bid to summon something that might kill Isaiah; this was the second resurrection of D'Angelo. Uri would meet the Sionnach clan through him, and then conspire against Isaiah with the help of Faye and Stellan. For an amount of time, Uri and his family were safe under the care of the Sionnachs, until his sister Madeline would give birth at a public hospital. Isaiah had her assassinated, driving Uri back into despair. He then relinquished his humanity in exchange for her life, reviving her and ascending to Heaven as an Archangel. He would later fight against Isaiah during his attempt to bring about Armageddon.
Uri is afraid of Stellan, just like he's afraid of all the clergy members, but he finds him the least threatening outside of maybe Hal. He panics when Stellan confronts him for sacrificing a cult member to resurrect D'Angelo, and initially thinks his proposal for a team-up is a trap. However, he soon realizes that it's actually *blackmail*, and Uri is initially hesitant, but his hope to escape the cult overpowers his fear. His feelings towards Stellan are complicated, as the man was part of the powers that actively oppressed and abused him, but he is ultimately what led to his family's safety.
Stellan is tasked with keeping an eye on Uri due to his past transgressions against the cult. He didn't find him particularly notable before D'Angelo's return after Uri sacrificed a cult member. Fascinated by D'Angelo's new form and in need of allies, Stellan confronted Uri with an ultimatum; help him take down Isaiah and find his way to safety, or be outed as a traitor. Uri accepted, of course, and served as an in with the Sionnach clan. Stellan doesn't necessarily care for Uri, but he has no intent to betray him due to his harmless nature and keeps his word. Even after he's killed, Isaiah didn't manage to pin Uri as a co-conspirator until much later.
