Clad in the ritual garments and insignias of his
office and bound to orthodox traditions, this member
of the Consistory translates the mysteries of the
unfathomable Lord into words understandable to
the common man. He sits on his throne on the
point of intersection of all contradictions, revealing
secret divine lore and guarding the keys to the
potestates of the Engel. His hand can bless as well
as condemn.
