¤ Cardinal of Ulric, Alf-André de Negrepelisse (L'Anguille)


Priests of Ulric must always have served as soldiers of some description. Therefore, it is reasonably common for senior clergy of the cult of Ulric to have some degree of disability due to injury. The current Cardinal, Alf-André de Negrepelisse, who served for many years in the provincial companies of Armorique, is no exception, lacking one eye, and bearing an impressive scar across the side of his face. However, many believe that his head injury lost him more than his eye. The Cardinal seems at times to be somewhat unhinged, highly unpredictable, but with undeniable religious fervour. He can at times provide truly inspirational leadership, throwing himself into politics, where he favours either the De Cabourg or the Knights of the Holy Blood (though he switches allegiance between the two frequently, without apparent reason) but at times he withdraws completely from public life, travelling the countryside leading evangelistic missions to isolated villages...
