ZeinaBarton was very young when he
found God. Growing up poor and being
orphaned as a young boy, he turned to prayer
for comfort and guidance. He studied theology
at Holy Trinity University and found meaning
in the stricter interpretation of the Bible.

People find his determination and
authoritative mannerism frightening while
still charismatic and want to follow him.
Before he came to Boone, he married the
young widow Emilie Ekdahl. Their marriage
has been miserable since day one, and the
reverend has lost his composure more than
once as he can’t control Emilie the way he
has been able to control everything else in
his life, and he punishes her for that.

Boon's’s hair is black and his eyes are
blue and cold. He has a constant expression
of disapproval and the wrinkles in his forehead
go deep. He is very tall and imposing,
always wearing black.
