Cardinal Tiernan Callaghan
Status: 5
Reputation: Prince of New Orleans, Cardinal of New Orleans, Scholar and Defender of the Faith
Research into the name Tigheranan Cellachan among Sanctified records and lore will find that name attached to a Legate and Pilgrim who kept and recovered much of the Testament in the Dark Ages on the European Continent. It is also the name of the Bishop of Navarre in what is now modern Spain during the early Spanish Reconquista. The description of Tigheranan matches Tiernan Callaghan exactly

Archbishop Sydney Kincaid
Status: 4
Reputation: Not much is known about Sydney other than he has been known for his ferociousity and self-sacrifice in battle due to being able to control others thoughts and emotions. He had headed many of the secular investigations regarding the Heresy of the Savage line and is also known for delivering the ashes of the Bruja diablerist Reven. Once Harpy to Consul Jake Vermillion of Sacramento, as well as councillor of the Savage line during their rule in the parish of Marysville. The Toreador was known for using his looks and charm (along with other means of forced cooperation) to achive what was needed for the coven. The Archbishop is known to have been a pupil of Santiago De La Vega and the kindred credited with the discovery of Theban Prodigy Lady Aneksi Barov. With a devilish toothy smile and devout loyalty to his Covenant he had served in many successful feats of Diplomacy, seemingly without regard to the costs and penalties to himself as long as he accomplishes his objectives in raising up his covenant. His destruction at the hands of Nathan Mercucio is still fresh in the minds of the Sanctified of Northern California; serving as Senechal to the late prince of Marysville Vicountess Morgan Wolfe Sydney faced Nathan Mercucio intent upon delivering a Bloodhunt -- not a single word left his lips. There is a great deal of suspicion regarding the Archbishop's demise; was it his insufferable pride that lead him to challenge a superior predator, or was he just suicidal - was he Dominated by his Invictus allies, bound in blood and forced to serve them - or did Santiago merely arrange the event as punishment for Sydney's failure and a message to the Savages that the Sanctified are uncorruptable - or was it simply just god's will?

Quote: If this 'outlander' Gangrel continues his insults of my covenant being a cult anylonger, I will make him fall aSLEEP and , oh look , Well, I guess when he wakes up I will make sure instead of acting like an uneducated foul beast I will make sure he thinks he is a twelve year old girl, with an obsession with pigtails , self-deficating and suntans.
Batista
Status: 4
Batista was the personal bodyguard of Archbishop Cardinal de Béthune and second-in-command (as vicar-general). He was left to fend for himself by his Gangrel sire and was taken in by the Archbishop who taught him the Testament of Longinus. Due to this Batista had little respect for most other members of his clan. He died soon after his appointment as Sherrif of Leuven in a cowardly attack on the archbishop by the Gangrel Priscus, Jean-Paul Demesmaeker.

Alison Carson
Title: Bishop
Status: 3
Reputation: Alison was the first Sanctified to venture into the New England to bring the Word of God and the Testement to the savage Crones and heatheness Dragons of the region. She exults in this role, often verging on out-right criticizing of other high ranking Sanctified who live in more Sanctum friendly areas; Alison never misses an opportunity to remind others that she is braving the unknown while they preach to the converted. Despite this pretentious attitude Alison always tries to listen to and repsect her Brothers and Sisters, though her argumentative attitude and love for debate has earned her the scorn of several covenant members.

Holy Fire of Sinai
Status: 2
Title: Inquisitor
Reputation:
A long-time resident of Delaware, Sinai's brand of faith kept close to the Testament and all of the Catechism. A Monachal's Monachal, he did not brook fools, and was ever first in combat against the evils faced by his domain. Every bit as fearsome as his moniker suggested, Sinai was rarely seen but could not go unfelt if he so wished. To the domain's shock and horror, he was struck down on the steps of an Elysium by the VII on January 12, 2007.

Dr. Tanis Cassian
Status : 2
Title : acting Chaplain Bishop
Reputation : Not much is known about him and were he comes from. People have made many speculations and all fall short of the Truth. He is known in Baton Rouge to be one of the more vocal members of the Sanctified. He maintains strict control over himself. His emotions are so tempered that few wonder if he even feels anymore, yet when angered his fury knows no bounds. He takes upon himself two duties: Inquisitor and Bishop. When actions need a lighter hand and a softer voice he defers to Miria Novalis. He is willing to brave the roads of the night to lend his support to other members of the Spear. He does not shy away from battle. He feels that even in the midst of the fray God's presences must be felt. To bring hope and insperation to those around.

Reputation: Roberto was active among the Sanctified of Delaware, and known also by Sanctified in the dioceses and archdioceses surrounding the First State.
Faction: Unknown
Creed: Unknown
Clan: Mekhet
Location: The Diocese of Delaware
Manner of Death: Roberto del Telo was killed in a blaze while at a gathering of Delaware's Kindred in the home of then-Bishop Isaac Sheol. That fire was started by Sheol, who had doused his very secure haven in kerosine before the gathering. Once the blaze began, del Telo fought like mad to protect the other Kindred from its fiery tongues. He fell with them, guilty in Sheol's eyes of a Breach of the Masquerade. The only survivors of the fire were Jester, a Mekhet Dragon who found himself on the wrong end of gangrel claws some weeks later, and current Bishop J.W.Ghoren.

Leonard Bromley
Email
Status: 3
Reputation: A new comer to the Lancea Sanctum, his passion and drive burns bright. Bright enough for the title of Proselyte to be applied, and to be elevated well beyond his peers. Leonard's theological arguments are intellectually well founded, but sometimes his passion gets in the way of his judgement, causing him to spurt words better left unsaid. Granted, he knows his place amongst the Sanctified, and has no difficulty with serving to achieve the purpose of God.
Technically under the Canberra Parish of Bishop Valeron Mayne, Leonard is more of a traveller these days. He travels across Australia and beyond, serving God where ever he can.

Liam McConnell
Status: 1
Reputation: New Convert, Crusader and Paladin-in-training, Liam came to Cardinal Tiernan Callaghan with December Carnivale in May, 2005 to ask for acceptance into the Sanctum. December requested it as part of a favor repaid and Callaghan accepted. Since then, he has tried to learn all he can about the Sanctum and has picked up a touch of Theban here and there from a travelling Priest who is old friends with his sire. Liam was embraced in 1933 after a second run in with the Brood which didn't end so well as the first. He is a known(Though not as well known as his cohorts, Georgia, Exodus and Cook) Brood hunter and does so because he believes Mother Mary told him to do so in a dream.

Connor MacManus
Connor MacManus
Status: 3
Reputation: Best known to the Lance as a nomad and a warrior of God, Connor acts as a flaming sword and Paladin for the Lancea Sanctum. For the short time of his requiem Connor has made allies and been of use to a vast number of Sanctified, offering his services to any and all who need them. He is known to be one of the founders of a coterie/faction known as Aequitas Sancti or 'Holy Justice' and seems completely content in pursuing nothing but the goals of his covenant and his faction. Young children and women are an obvious soft spot for Connor, though the reason is unknown. His goal in Damnation is to bring mortals to God and purify the world of the wicked and corrupt, he drives sinners towards Redemption and ends the lives of those beyond God's Grace, thus sending him to their Final Judgement.
