Jacob Sulot
Patriarch Jacob Sulot
He's the Patriarch of the clergy of Dagda and a leading political figure in Virkenhall.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Small and slim, in compare with his brother, he's very fit for his age and looks probably a few years younger than he actually is. He frame is minute, but is reflexes are fast.
Facial Features
His dark eyes with a steely look are the aspect of his look that general remains in the mind of people that meets him as a judge. Despite his severe frown his manners are court and kind, especially with people he's not familiar with, regardless their social extraction. He likes to be clean-shaved, therefore beside the bushy eyebrows his face is glabrous.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Fourth born of the Sulot family, together with Solomon are the only ones to have reached adulthood. More interested in the religious doctrin than in the family business, he soon asked his father to enter the Fraternity of the Eternal Juror, the clergy of Dagda to continue his education and become a priest.
Education
In a similar way to his brother, he has started his education with a private mentor from the clergy of Dagda, developing a keen interest for the humanistic discipline and for theology and doctrine. His mentor, therefore, suggested that he should continue his education in the private school of his congregation. Beside the history and literature, he has had an advanced instruction in law and has learnt the modern kharmian and the high kharmian.
Employment
Once ordinated in the Fraternity of the Eternal Juror, Jacob has started to presentiate as Judge in the local court of justice, with is acute mind and determined attitude he had gained a fame of stern magistrate. Most people anyway would rather have him as a judge because, as his brother, he is considered a just person. Though his hard work he has progressed through the hierarchy until four years ago, when the former patriarch Abelard, he has been elected as head of the church of Dagda.
Accomplishments & Achievements
In the four years in charge as patriarch, he has worked to improve the facility of the school in which he studied, since he felt that his predecessor had paid not sufficient interest in it. His action as started to produce some effect with a renewed interest in the vocational call by young members of noble families.
Failures & Embarrassments
His rigid attitude and zealous tendency to equality has put him in the dislikes of a few nobles, but despite that he doesn't falter.
Mental Trauma
The separation from his family, although a need for his education, has determined a distance between Jacob and his brother that persists today. The relationship between them it court and kind, but they don't spend a lot of time together. Solomon, despite his important political role, feels subordinated to his younger brother, sometimes feeling uneasy in presence.
Intellectual Characteristics
He's commonly considered one of the smartest members of the clergy in the west of Phaldorya. As a judge this quality has been very useful to resolve several complicated cases.
Morality & Philosophy
He does incarnate the virtues of a servant of Dagda, inflexible and honest. Strongly motivated by the pursue of lawfulness and greater good, he would not hesitate to risk everything for justice.
Relationships
Modern Kharmian and High Kharmian, alongside with the common language of the west that he uses, if needed, but for which he feels some contempt.
He sounds as though he is an amazing judge, treating people kindly no matter their social class. I find it interesting that he is the younger of the brothers, but Solomon feels intimidated by him sometimes. Great article! :)
Thanks, in my idea Solomon is impressed, being a very devoted person too, by his role. I have none some people in religion that, between brothers, call each other not by name but using the appellative "father"... So I wanted to use it in my world, or it came out without thinking too much probably :D
E.C. none=known... lost in translation...
