The Character

The Brotherhood of the Church of True Light could no longer back down, and even if they could, Santiago wouldn't have. Discipline bound him to this task and he would never desert his post. His destiny remained inevitable, as did his love for Light, the Illuminated and the Imperious, his Holy Trinity.

An order broke through the chaos of battle surrounding the rift, and religious unity moved forward. From this rift, from this universe where the divine did not exist, only the worst heretical creatures could emerge. The Inquisitor knew the danger, but his iron gaze remained steadfast, his lips whispering another prayer to the Imperious.

For his sins, he slid forward through the ranks, raising his weapon. The monsters charged at them, their abominable faces torn by hatred and violent impulses. Santiago's silver sword fell on one of them. The unholy being disappeared, his blade tracing the line between good and evil, between the Empire of Light and darkness.

Chaos quickly spread to the surrounding troops, but the Brotherhood remained disciplined. A ghostly smile even appeared under Santiago's mask as he crushed another atrocity with his blows. His armor protected him from physical attacks, but his faith defended him even better. Then, a respite. The creatures had been decimated.

Santiago felt a profound peace come over him. He had atoned for his sins once more by braving death for the Church of the True Light. He lowered a knee to the ground, breathless from the fighting. His hands, stained with the blood of the impure, lifted his psalter, and he recited a prayer from it.

The Costume

This costume, created by our talented leather craftsman Alexis, is a product of his fertile imagination and experimentation with a variety of working techniques. He wanted to reflect his character's devotion in every detail of his costume. The inspiration of Gothic arches for the curves of the armor and the use of mixed materials with the impression of wear demonstrate the complexity of the character.

Alexis wears an altered Leonardo Carbone wool monk's robe and Freyhand gambison under his bespoke aluminum armor. Inspiration from Gothic cathedral motifs adds complexity to his armor. Full plate arms complete the look. The Sentinel's skirt is custom-made with linen and wear effects.

On his leather belt, he wears the scabbard of the Siri dagger and a guild purse, both customized. The black Hunter's hood and the Sentinel's skirt, enhanced with linen and aging effects, give the look of a seasoned fighter. A custom-made leather and aluminum mask, a priest's stole engraved with prayers and a simple crown add a penitent look to the character. Finally, he brandishes the Soldier's Sword from Nemesis Workshop and a corbin beak from Calimacil, effective for any confrontation.

Alexis' ensemble allows him to fight in a style that reflects his character's piety and abilities, while being comfortable and practical.
