---

Background

Mordicar the Justhand is the most influential and powerful religious leader in Middenmark, presiding over the Church of St. Ygg, an institution rooted in the principles of righteousness and moral superiority. Having risen through the ranks by a potent mixture of unyielding faith, shrewd maneuvers, and an uncompromising vision for a Prelacy solely under the guidance of St. Ygg, he now stands as an unassailable figure, leading with an iron hand cloaked in a velvet glove.

Appearance

Prelate Mordicar possesses a stern, yet mesmerizing presence, accentuated by piercing blue eyes that seem to judge one's very soul. His hair, once a rich chestnut, is now graying, a testimony to years of relentless dedication to his faith. Always dressed in the grand robes of his office, which are of the finest crimson and white fabrics, bearing the sacred symbol of a red cross on a white field, he embodies the sanctity and authority of St. Ygg’s church.

Personality

Mordicar is a master of theological debates, using his deep knowledge of the scriptures to advocate for his vision of a Prelacy adherent to the principles of St. Ygg, yet, he isn't above bending religious doctrines to fit his needs. He carries himself with a smug and superior demeanor, a living embodiment of self-righteousness and piety, yet his commitment to the Church is unwavering, and his belief in the righteousness of their cause is sincere.
To his followers, he is a beacon of light and a visionary leader paving the road to a righteous future. To his critics and adversaries, he is a manipulative autocrat imposing his will upon the land with an insidious blend of religious fervor and political savvy.

Relationships

Justhand works with Ser Haldric de Luisignon , a High Paladin of the Order of the Crimson Cross, to administrate the Prelacy.
These paladins, known among the commoners as The Red Bannermen, are a special force of men and women used by the church on only the most essential, and often perilous, missions. The Prelate also oversees a vast network of officials and bureaucrats who govern The Red Prelacy.
