Appearance Father Azrael always dresses as a
catholic priest, in a dark suit with a dog collar. He
appears to be in his mid-forties, with closely cropped
greying hair and a craggy, seamed face. One eye is covered
with a black patch, but what might seem rakish on another
man only emphasises the dourness of his features He is over
six feet tall, with the blocky physique of a man who has
seen a great deal of physical labour.
Origin
An all-star footbal player and marine war hero decorated in Vietnam, the suffering Sean McMullen witnessed during that war led him to leave the service and join the priesthood. A jesuit honours graduate, he spurned the more intellectual pursuits in favour of a career of community service in Chicago's toughest neighbourhoods. He felt that he was doing some good and became deeply involved in community affairs. His parishoners turned to him for help when a series of horrific ritual murders racked Chicago's northside. Father McMullen, unable to deal with the problem alone, asked his superiors for help. What he got was a snooty italian priest - Italo de Castella - from some obscure foreign order.
But as the murders progressed, they got progressively closer to the combative Father McMullen, and on one final night of searing horror, he learned that evil exists, that demons are real and that de Castella was a member of the Ordo Malleus - a secretive order of white witches who have watched over the church from their monastery in the hills overlooking Ravenna since their founding by St. Augustine. McMullen's record and his conduct during the "Northside Affair" convinced de Castella that he would be a likely recruit for the order, despite his age. And so it has proved. Under his new name, Father Azrael is on "indefinate retreat in the world", until his superiors summon him.
Quote
"God moves in mysterious ways, his miracles to perform. You'll find I'm a bit more mysterious than most!"
Notes
Father Azrael was always a superb athelete and experienced soldier. His Ordo training has enhanced this, and added extensive knowledge of the occult, to aid him in sniffing out and "purifying" those who would trafffic in dark secrets. He is, to all intents a modern day inquisitor. His training, combined with his fanatical faith, makes him almost superhumanly tough.
