The Pope, referred to as Your Majesty, who rules over the Church. He personally visited Lowell's mansion in the Holy City District after the massacre to search for clues. He discovered a small box containing insect shells and a yellow pendant left by Lowell. He acknowledges that the Church has long been on its last legs and on the verge of collapse, but has no intention of prolonging its life. He plans to find a way to visit the temple next.
