¤ 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...
