Pontiff Cesare

Born the illegitimate son of a minor Tiberian nobleman and a shrine maiden, Cesare was given to the Inquisition as a child—a common practice for disposing of embarrassing heirs—where his towering frame and unwavering composure quickly distinguished him among the ranks.

His mysterious alliance with the enigmatic Visitorq Krul—a being of unclear origin whose technology seemed to defy natural law—accelerated the League's technological advancement beyond comprehension, cementing his position as an indispensable architect of a new age. Behind his serene smile and patient counsel lies a mind that calculates human ambition like a merchant counts coins, viewing even his closest allies as instruments whose usefulness can be exhaus
