The Evangelist

The Evangelist is a tall man in his mid-thirties. He used to be an aspiring preacher within the Catholic Church, but his zeal, radicalism, and human sacrifice were not to the likings of the church. Being a natural mage, he accidentally cast a spell on himself, believing to be making a deal with God, or the devil, he is not really sure. Through this, he became something not wholly human. Since this change, he has started sailing the seas in order to find new followers to recruit to his beliefs. His only goal is to save the souls of his followers through his own doctrine and to end all sinners.

Backstory
The Evangelist was a high ranking official within the Catholic Church until he tried to assassinate the Pope for committing what he believed to be sins. He was cast out and sentenced to death, but as they tried to hang him, he suddenly changed. He became something similar to a human, but not entirely. There, he simply floated above where the trapdoor was.

Try as they might, the Evangelist could not be killed. They next tried the guillotine, but his head simply reattached to his neck a few days later. They then attempted to drown him and he did not rise from the waves. Believing him to be a now-dead servant of Satan, the monks who had been tasked with killing him left him there. But he had actually survived and began sailing the seas, looking for followers to convert and ’save’.

Appearance & Gear
He dresses in modified versions of a priest's robes, much less heavy and impractical, and in purple and gold. He has spiky purple hair and pure black eyes with no pupils. His tongue is forked like a snake's, and he has fangs. He wears a gilded cross on a pendant, and carries a black and gold sceptre, with a purple orb at the hilt. He also wears cross-shaped earrings.

Personality
The Evangelist is very well-spoken and outwardly kind. He has an air of malic, however, whenever people doubt or disregard his teaching. He will take any opportunity to convert and evangelise.
