Brother Jule
The Defrocked Missionary
Jule had been a Student of Faith, then a missionary under the Church of Hope. He believed. He truly believed. Until the Church ordered him to deliver blessings to a village just before it was razed for harboring the infected. They told him it was mercy. He told himself the same, for years.
He left one day without a word, disappearing into the wilds. Some say he lived among the Others. Others say he drank himself half to death in the ruins. He finally reappeared in 110 SE, near death, found muttering prayers over the bones of the dead in an abandoned chapel. The Syndicate didn’t kill him. Instead, they handed him over to Erem—out of curiosity, or cruelty.
