People are like stained-glass windows.
 They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
 but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed

only if there is a light from within.

[edit] Reputation

Many were surprised when the famous unifier Cardinal de Béthune asked this staunch hardliner to become acting Bishop of Antwerp, later annointing him to the position of Bishop of Antwerp. The Sanctified had taken heavy blows in the Crone-ridden, Carthian stronghold that is Antwerp. But under the guidance of the passionate and intelligent Killpatrick the Covenant seems to be growing to new strengths in Antwerp. As the Praxis of Antwerp fell to a Crone witch, Killpatrick strenghtened his grip on the faith of his parish and now guides his flock with a velvet gloved iron fist. As the Crone fell to the corruption of the throne and felt the support of the city fading, she defected to the Brood. Now Killpatrick has all intentions to bind forces with the Invictus rule to burn the Brood out of his Archdiocese. Cardinal de Béthune was so pleased of the progress Killpatrick made in the Low Countries that he appointed him Vicar-General few months before he Annointed Killpatrick Archbishop of the Low Countries. Now that de Béthune has set sail to the new world to seek the path of the Saint, Killpatrick leads the Low Countries as a zealous shephard. Making sure first and formost that the Lancea Sanctum are immaculate and untouchable, focussing then on problems worthy of his attention as there are the Brood and Diablerists. Now that the global Lancea have recognised his Faith and reputation Killpatrick has been annointed Cardinal by the will of Cardinal Valeron Mayne Belotto.

[edit] Physical Description:

Imaculately dressed in a red Cardinal robe with golden trim and red silk belt. Covered by a long black gold-trimmed cloak with golden clasps. Adorned with 2 matching silver and black crosses and bearing a purple gemmed ring on one hand and the huge silver Cardinal ring with 3 ruby's and a blue gemmed ring on on the other. One could say Killpatrick does not blend in well with the average crowd. The Nosferatu blood coarsing through his veins however has made this statement ever so true. His skin has been transformed into a striking marble-like pattern of white and gray with a bloodied purple shine round his eyes and lips. Once close enough to see the texture of the fleshy substance it is however best referred to as a moldy wax-like surface. As a rule Killpatrick smells of church incense and occasionnally an underlying smell of stale blood. As of late Killpatick has allways been seen with bloodtears upto halfway his both cheeks.

[edit] Trivia

  • Summoned his child, Zélamyr, to his parish in an attempt to help restore order to turbulent Antwerp, and succeeded in doing so.

  • Adressing one of his flock concerning a small part of her public penitence: For the crimes against our Scripture law you will show penitence through the ritus 'Scraping off the Sin'... You must offer those persons you have wronged a piece of your flesh the size of your guilt. If they consider the offering a measurement of their offense they will have forgiven you as the flesh turns to ash in their hands.
