Burdett did not keep Michel waiting long. He quickly settled the matter of the Transcendent Knights.

He persuaded ten Transcendent Knights to accept the New Church's entirely new doctrine.

Of course, faith was only part of the reason. His Majesty the Emperor's support was also an important factor in their decision.
