Church has recently imprisoned an Ancient Red Dragon into the earth, where it will remain indefinitely. Saving the lives of an uncountable many.

Personality
Motivation
Church is ever hungry for knowledge, especially if it leads to power.
Church aims to use the power he gains to make Eregost as safe as possible, by uprooting anything he deems to be a threat to civilization, often targeting otherworldly entities.
Church sees the Invading Cloud as one of the biggest threats Eregost will face, and wants nothing more than to understand the nature of the Cloud, and how to destroy it.
Likes & Dislikes
Church loves knowledge, reading, comedy, sarcasm and insults.
Church despises unnecessary secrecy, bureaucracy, those he deems unintelligent and otherworldly beings.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Most of Church's colleagues choose to avoid him whenever possible, due to his unwelcoming nature.
However, Church does have a positive relationship with two of his colleagues.
Two Warforged created by the AAC serve as Church's assistants.
Levoith is a divination wizard who helps Church detect objects and places of magical power. Levoith may just be the only being Church considers a friend.
Asménos was a faulty model and due to this he has the intelligence and mannerisms of a child. Asménos does possess an incredible amount of strength and uses this to protect the archives from threats resilient to magic.
Wealth & Financial state
As Grand Archivist, Church Paratir has access to the entire Authenian Archives, giving him control over the continent's largest library and countless magical artifacts.
