Bishop Lukiy and the Cardinal

Appearance: Sorven is a large and old anthropomorphic raven, his feathers are light gray, although it is not entirely clear whether this is due to old age or an innate feature. Like birds, Cardinal has paws instead of legs, and huge wings instead of arms.

He also wears a snow-white cassock with gold inserts. On his neck is a decoration resembling a cross, but made in the form of two four-pointed stars, one above the other. This symbol represents the church. On the raven's head is a papal tiara with the same symbol. Character: Bishop Lucius took Sorven away from his family when he was still a crow. Religion was forced upon him from an early age, causing him to grow up stern and unable to see the world beyond his dogmatic views. This also made him extremely intolerant of alternative points of view. And although the Church itself hired hunters to kill the infected, Sorven never doubted his dogmas and continued to openly despise them, sometimes acting too cruelly and unfairly towards them. He perceived any attempts to negotiate as an insult and ignored evidence, which testified to his persistence, even stubbornness, as well as impracticality in governing an entire city.

Faced with the harsh reality, Sorven found himself completely helpless. The sudden attack on Ashhold must have shocked him greatly, but even so, he did not completely lose faith in the Church and Father. Only his stay in the Dream Dimension and "exile" to the camp allowed Sorven to realize his mistakes and change his views for the better. As a result, he managed to rise again in the eyes of the people and once again become their leader. But it is also likely that the inhabitants of the camp simply got used to the fact that the former Cardinal controlled many things in Ashhold, so they quickly made him their leader. Later, Sorven thanked Lololoshka and JDH for saving him and for showing him the truth.

Appearance: Bishop Lukiy appears as an older man with a long beard. His eyes are a deep green color, and his hair is dark brown with a slight graying. He wears a giant white priest's hat with gold details and the symbol of the local church, as well as a white cassock with gold accents.

Unlike other incarnates, Lukii did not have the growths of the infected skint, which makes him outwardly indistinguishable from an ordinary person. The only thing that gave him away was the lack of any aging processes. Sorven noted that over many years, Lukii's appearance had hardly changed at all. Character: At first glance, Bishop Lukiy behaves like a good-natured and sympathetic priest who is happy to help his parishioners. Despite his apparent goodwill, everyone is afraid of him, this could be seen by the fact that even the local inquisitor, who is a strong warrior, was afraid of the Bishop and his words about "removal". Lukiy is cunning and sly, over many years he has learned to pretend well in order to get what he needs.

Even before the creation of the Church of Purification, Lukiy had a close friendship with Tadmavriel, which was mentioned in Episode 60 of Heart of the Universe. But after the discovery of the infection, their relationship became much more like "boss-subordinate". Over the past millennia, Lukiy's consciousness was so severely destroyed that he himself believed in that mythical "Father" who would grant the entire multiverse the true "Good" during the Great Purification. And even after Lololoshka and JDH disembodied Lukiy, his loyalty to Father did not disappear.
