Cónsulo

"You were, at the first, to abolish the barbarity and backwardness of slavery as has been the law of God and of Enzim since its inception! You were to oversee the enrichment of the people of Varas at the expense of the ill-begotten wealth of the corrupt! And at the last and most righteous, you were to see to the salvation of this nation, not simply the making of fugitives from the ignorant and unlearned! Gentlemen, the heathen is not the heretic! And to make an example of him is to set the example of an intractable and incorrigible tyrant! You allow the good people of this nation to suffer under the archaic customs of the old order while at the same enriching yourselves off this system no better than those you have replaced! And further you have worsened their station by the invention of new and far-reaching classes of criminal!   “I have right here in my hand a written remonstrance from Enzim against your sitting. By this I am granted the authority to dissolve this farce of a government, and I think it is high time I put an end to this disgrace in this place you have left unclean by your indulgence of every vice! You are all corrupted. You have yourselves become the very enemies of God you were tasked to oppose! You sell your souls and the birthright of this nation for a few pieces of money, begging like wretches outside an idolator’s temple. God calls me, therefore, to tear down this temple to sin, in the hopes that like the blessed Haír, you might hear Her message in the flames."  
—excerpt from Cónsulo's speech to the Alvoradan Sanhedrin
  Marco Rexard Cónsulo was the 55th hierarch of Enzim and first Enzimian emperor
