Lo the snow white vestments were dappled with the blood of the crying sinners, purged by the blessed blade wielded with might & resolve by the chosen instrument of god Jakob of Thorn.
And the streets ran red, the wailing of the chastised pierced the night, the smell of death & corruption cloying.
The artwork is so interesting too. Depicts him in the same style as Catholic Saints in artwork. Yet there’s clear evidence of his violence. Can’t wait to get my hand on the book!
Papal executioner? His clothes remind me of a Dominican (Catholic) habit. Maybe he started as a brother/Priest and went rogue? Killed the Pope & got labeled for it? Sort of like King-Slayer in GOT. Went onto becoming a pro fighter. My mind is whirling with possibilities about him and I’m excited!
Their habit is white. The black Cappa is a cape that covers most of their habit. It is warm mostly for warmth, that they sometimes wear. The habit itself is white.

There are even rumors of Abe Lincoln...
