Bation Felix Wachter - Originally one of the Home Faith anchorite]s, Felix Wachter is the founder and former Bastion of the Mordentish Sect of the Church of Ezra. He was also a key figure in the First Schism within the Church[1] in the year 698.[2] Following the murder of Yakov Dilisnya, Camille Boritsi attempted to disavow herself of Yakov's demise and appease the faithful by financing the construction of a statue of Yakov on the premises of the Great Cathedral of Levkarest. A schism split the Church over whether this construction was a blasphemy, as certain figures within the church considered the statue of a mortal man upon Ezra's holy ground to be an unholy act.Under pressure from Camille, the majority of the Ezrites accepted her offer of reconciliation. A minority faction, led by Felix Wachter, instead broke away from the rest, moving to Mordent and establishing a religious stronghold there.[1] In 699, Felix penned the Second Book of Ezra.
Felix Wachter - was born in Borca. His family belonged land's elite, but he was not first born, and so, as was common practice, his family sought out, and secured for him, a place in the Church of Ezra. There he would distinguish himself. By 695, when the first service was held within the stone skeleton of Great Cathedral of Levkarest, the Church within Borca was thriving and had become a force to be reckoned within. It lay claim to the soul's of the inhabitants of Sturben by establishing a small temple there. The first sentire of that temple was very likely Felix Wachter. In any case, he was the Sentire of Sturben by 698 when the course of his life took a most unforeseen and decisive turn. He found himself leading the minority faction within the Church that argued against accepting the bribe of Camille Dilisnya whereby she sought to draw a line under her murder of Praesidius Yakov Dilisnya. Her accompanying offer to raise before the Great Cathedral a statue of her brother only complicated the matter. Both bitterly disappointed by the willingness of his fellow anchorites to enter into a pact with Camille and greatly afraid of being repaid by Camille for the resistance that was offered against the proposed pact, Felix led four like minded anchorites from Borca to Mordent where they founded the Mordentish Sect of the faith. They were immediately branded heretics. Felix, however, would in 699 pen the The Second Book of Ezra and would ultimately succeed in obliging the authorities in Levkarest to recognise the legitimacy of the Mordentish Sect. This First Schism was healed in the end by the division of the Church into the Home Faith based in Borca and the Mordentish Sect based in Mordent. Felix served as the bastion of this new sect from 698 to his death in 716. The Chapel of Pure Hearts in Mordentshire was the seat of his authority. He choose Vladimir Denisovich as his successor.
