Priest

"'Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.' - Ephesians 4:31-32"

Priest (his real name is unknown) is a middle aged male with a mysterious past. He's known in various settlements for his unnatural kindness and good heart but also for his impressive combat abilities even at his current age. He identifies himself as a Christian preacher and a "shepherd" guiding souls to the path of redemption. Despite the fact he's a Christian and from the South, he insists that he preaches his own take on Christianity and wishes to not be associated with the Protestant faith.

History
Priest rarely talks about his past so much of it is unknown. He does, however, often talk about past adventures, or rather, misadventures, each more outlandishly impossible than the last. Based on these stories: he traveled from Savannah to Reno two times in his life, he traveled among Tejanos, married two raiders after being captured, got into a shootout with Columbian soldiers over a misunderstanding and somehow ended befriending their sergeant, had a deep and intricate religious debate with a Freak warlord, was asked his hand in marriage by the current leader of Las Vegas Marauders, defended a village from New English cultists by himself, met with a scout party from the Empire of Brazil while traveling through Florida, was offered a sail boat to Éire by an adventuring group of Gaeilge sailors, among many other isane stories.

Pre-Prologue
Priest and his Flock were scavenging for military-tech in the ruins of Fort Detrick, in Maryland. While exploring the radiated ruins with his companions, he came across a rare sight, a deactivated Automaton holding some documents while laying next to a pile of ruble, it appeared that the ceiling had collapsed on the automaton and it used nearly all its power to come out of it. After reading through the document, Priest decided to activate the Automaton, who was Awakened for this first time in hundreds of years.
