Adeodatus's Links
Grigory's master who barely tolerates his drunken tomfoolery, womanizing and debauchery, only because of Grigory's talent in mysticism and healing, and Dahlia Fortune is able to cover it up consistently.
The Archpriest's High Priest and a wild party animal who uses his status given to him by the Archprieset to throw wild, out of control parties behind closed doors.
The Archpriest trusts Altruis to be his strongest soldier and his weapon against other rebellious Cursebearers that he orders Altruis to deal with, efficiently.
The Archpriest's High Priest and the neutral voice of reason within The Church. He's grown weary of his role but still obeys the orders given to him.
Amadeus' master, the Archpriest distrusts him greatly and fears he may one day take control of the Church from the Archpriest's inner circle and usurp his position. The Archpriest's paranoia causes him to send Lucius or Celestine to spy on Amadeus whenever he's outside of his mysterious sanctuary.
The Archpriest's lead scientist of sorts, though even he knows not what happens behind the gates of Amadeus' nature preserve.
The Archpriest hardly tolerates his insolence, but keeps Exavier in his position as no one in the clergy is as powerful as Exavier when it comes to Faith Magic. The Archpriest's fears of a betrayal from Amadeus cloud him from realizing Exavier's treachery.
Our Archpriest! Old and weak and unable to hold me down. The less he knows the better. He's too busy thinking about Amadeus and his silly little garden to give a shit about what's going on right under his nose. I think a crown of his horns would look good on me, no?
Ms. Fortune is one of my best weapons in the field of public relations. Her beauty and manipulative charm will convince many dimwitted fools to join the Church and fight for our cause... and her relentless brutality towards Cursebearers will make them think twice about crossing the Church and ruining my vision for a perfect world.
The Archpriest recognizes my talents and skill, I have him to thank for a lot of the position and power I have now. Altruis has a high opinion of him, buuut if he gave Raker and Mercury the same influence I have, the old ram must be easy to impress. Disappointing.
Celestine, his gift for political survival, booming voice and piercing claws that ends any senate squabbles is a valuable asset for my grand design. Politics bore me, so his skill in bureaucracy and dedication to civil service is a blessing in disguise from my master, Vulgoth. He could even be fit to be a High Priest if I had my way...
My master... he is what our Church and country needs, a newer, bolder direction in favor of worshipping the Dark Gods and annihilating those wretched Cursebearers. Kel's teachings could only get us so far, but his promises of power, wealth and immortality under Vulgoth's reign is... too enticing. I will serve my master, right or wrong.
