Full name: Noah Adrian Ravenscroft
· Age: 28 years.
· San: Priest (Catholic rite), formerly a junior exorcist for the diocese.
· Occupation: Currently serves in a small, almost abandoned church on the outskirts of the city.

· He is above average height (around 185 cm), has a slender but sinewy figure, and has trained arms – he is no stranger to physical labor.
His hair is dark brown, always slightly disheveled, falling over his forehead. He rarely takes care of it.
His eyes are steel-gray, with heavy, tired lids. This makes it seem like he's either sleep-deprived or knows too much about the world.
Distinguishing feature: He wears a massive silver signet ring on his left hand (visible in the artwork). In fact, the ring has a prayer engraved inside—it's his talisman, which he never takes off.

Noah was born into a family of hereditary clergy. From childhood, he was the diocese's "golden boy"—intelligent, pious, and obedient. He was destined for high rank.
· Turning Point (occurred 4 years ago): He was sent to perform an exorcism on a young girl. The ritual was successful, but his methods were deemed "too harsh" (he spared neither himself nor the possessed woman). The girl survived, but Noah broke down emotionally—he had gotten too close to the demon, who looked at him with the eyes of an innocent child.
· Present: Instead of becoming a cardinal, he requested a transfer to this remote church, far from the people. He carries out his duties mechanically, out of habit, not letting the parishioners into his heart.

1. Playing with a chain: As in the art. When he's lost in thought or nervous (especially if the conversation touches on the past), he clutches the chain from his pectoral cross and brings it to his lips, as if trying to capture the warmth of the metal.
2. The smell of smoke and incense: He never smokes directly in the church, but the smell of tobacco and church incense mingles in his clothes. Sometimes he smokes while standing on the church porch in the rain.
3. Silence: He can't stand loud noise, laughter, or fuss. If your character is too loud, he'll look at you with a slight, irritated half-smile and say, "God loves silence. Could you..." and then fall silent, leaving you to figure it out.

External façade: Cold, imperturbable, polite to the point of sterility. Speaks quietly, calmly, with a slight hoarseness. Never displays strong emotions in public.
Inner world: Deep melancholy and cynicism. He is tired of human cruelty, lies, and the filth he sees in confessions. He hasn't lost faith in God, but he has lost faith in people.
Mask: He uses his rank as a shield. If someone tries to touch him or get too close, he dons an icy "priestly" wall, making it impossible to see the person behind it.
· Tendency to self-flagellation: Believes that the world's many sins are a punishment he must share with sinners. Therefore, he often denies himself simple pleasures.
