Urban VI, the Neapolitan pope whose election sparked the Western Schism, brought both learning and uncompromising zeal to the papal throne. His controversial election and subsequent conflicts with the cardinals would divide the church for decades. His passionate defense of papal prerogatives would ultimately fracture Christian unity in ways that would take centuries to heal.
Description
A Neapolitan pope with intense, zealous features and passionate demeanor. Middle-aged with dark hair and eyes that reflect both scholarly depth and confrontational nature. Wears papal vestments appropriate to his learning and controversial election. Projects an aura of uncompromising conviction and the intensity associated with southern Italian temperament.
