The Lavesgrie Exile:Kaine
Contents
Deacon Obadias Kaine
History
Looks
Kaine is a thin, rather unassuming man in his mid twenties (strangely young for a priest) whose appearance seems at odds with the fiery spirit within him. He carries himself with a humble but slightly noble air, speaking softly but, when called for, carries a large metaphorical stick when he must. While it is clear from the sureness of his speech that he was noble born, he often places his sermons in ways that the flock can easily understand. This manner of preaching has won him many favors in the crew, as well as his belief in leading by example.
Kaine's dress lacks the large amount of ostentatious ornamentation that appears to be a requirement. Indeed, he is often seen in rather plain clothes, but always with the sign of the Aquila present. This style of dress expands itself to his chapel, which seems to bear little more then benches, a number of stained glass windows and candles, without even a pulpit for him to harp the words of the Imperial Creed. In some ways, Kaine appears to distance himself from the rest of the Ecclesiarchy and the few times when he is inebriated enough to talk about the Church shows that his words are not favorable.

Moves
His Will Be Done
When you set forth your flock to do His will, choose missions up to your flock’s fervor and roll +Will. On a 10+, all your missions are successful. On a 7-9, all but one of your missions are successful. On a miss, catastrophe all around.
Speak the Emperor's Truth
When you speak the Emperor’s truth to a mob, roll +Charm. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. Spend your hold 1-for-1 to have the mob:
- bring people forward and deliver them.
- bring forward all their precious things.
- unite and fight for you as a gang (2-harm 0-armor size appropriate).
- fall into an orgy of uninhibited emotion: copulating, lamenting, fighting, sharing, celebrating, as you choose.
- go quietly back to their lives.
Confessor's Eye
When you read a person, roll +Will instead of +Adroit. In addition to the normal questions, you can ask:
- Why do you feel guilt?
- What punishment do you believe you deserve?
- What is your single greatest lie?
Bonds
- Claudius Nero Acrisias is straying from the Emperor’s truth, I must save them.
- I have seen the sins of Ori-48, and they are many.
- Sister Theodora Cain is a faithful servant of the Emperor, and a friend.
- Kelara Lavesgrie has aided my flock in the past, and I will aid them in return.
Flock
large 2-fervor televangelism vulnerable:heresy
In his wanderings as a missionary of the Imperial Creed, Kaine has gathered a huge entourage of fellow travellers, junior priests, and pilgrims who are attracted to his unorthodox interpretation of the Emperor's Truth. When they set forth to bring the light of the Emperor to a heathen world, they are well-equipped with vox-casters, pict-scrolls, and comms equipment, enough to allow Kaine's words to blanket the planet.
