Ostiosus Scorpius Lucius

Lucius was a peculiar person since he was born on this world in 2162. Born a son of an influential Priest within the Church in Albion, he was given a full religious education but was often studying religious texts on his own rather than spend time with friends and was always considered to be a loner. His childhood was monotone and love within his family was rare, if not absent. The love of his parents went as far as him being successful in his studies, but no more. Nonetheless, due to vigour and his many hours of study (and a few influential connections of his father), he was able to quickly rise through the ranks. He eventually became High Priest around the same time as Pontifex Maximus Canisius and was favourable of him in the beginning. He was also considered to be part of the moderate faction within the 12 High Priests. However, after the instability that started with the death of the Emperor de Mérode but especially due to the Prafist attacks all around the Empire, his stance on the Prafists and his vision for the Empire changed drastically: he became a die-hard Conservative, believing in the supreme power of the Church and especially the Pontifex Maximus to persecute and hunt down unbelievers and is convinced the Church should be left to its own devices and be left alone by the State, although generous funding of the institution by the Empire is something he very much approves of. He also beliefs the Empire should unite in Faith to expand the Empire in outerspace and Lucius is very suspicious towards alien life, believing them to be of lesser value, not up to the standards of Humans, and wants to either use them as a cheap workforce or even if they are deemed to be unworthy, to be put to the Sword. There is only one man of the Church, and it should be him. He will bring order. He will bring stability. He will bring Faith. In 2220, Pontifex Maximus Canisius passed away and Lucius was elected as the new Pontifex Maximus.
