The Chief Priest leads the temple clergy in their expedition to Jory’s clinic, meeting Neil with a dismissive sneer before bowing before the gods Healer and Dominion. His authority is bound up in ceremony and the temple’s hierarchy, but his position shifts when he accepts Dominion’s offer. He then scrambles through the gate with the clergy, leaving behind the formal grandeur he had so carefully carried.
Description
The Chief Priest is a man whose age, complexion, hair, eyes, and build are not specified. He wears opulent silks of white and gold, richly accented with brown embellishments, giving his clothing an unmistakably ceremonial grandeur. His dismissive sneer and commanding posture lend him a self-important air, while the elaborate robes make him stand out among the clergy.
