Background / History

Green was born in Dunling to a middle-class family of believers. Raised in the Church from infancy, he received baptism, religious instruction, and early medical care from local monks. His parents later sent him to the church for education. 219

He displayed exceptional academic ability and was recommended from a local chapel to a church school. Green regarded his education and social advancement as blessings from the Heavenly Father, developing a faith rooted in the tangible support the Church had provided rather than unquestioning obedience. 219

Determined to eradicate Heterodoxy and spread the Gospel, Green pursued swordsmanship alongside his studies and joined the Inquisition despite discouragements. By the time of the Dunling investigations, however, repeated minor cases and the Medical School's ability to evade prosecution had left him questioning whether joining the Inquisition had been the right choice. 219

Personality

Green is disciplined, devout, and conscientious. He follows Church doctrine strictly, returns public respect with clerical courtesy, and distinguishes between ordinary superstition and genuine Heterodoxy rather than abusing Inquisition authority. 220

His faith remains unusually resilient under anomalous pressure. When Brother Turner interprets the Chaos Entity's influence as Heaven, Green rejects the claim without hesitation and maintains control even while preparing to restrain him. 274

Although severe toward threats and doctrinal violations, Green prioritizes the safety of his men. He halts underground searches during worsening rain, checks on missing teams personally, and repeatedly acts to protect companions in immediate danger. 233 235 241

Contact with the Deep Layer increasingly strains him. He experiences hallucinations, nightmares, intrusive sounds, disorientation, and an urge to return to Dunling, but continues to seek practical responses instead of concealing the problem. 290 294 300

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship and Combat

Green is an accomplished swordsman trained to confront enemies of the Church in both body and belief.

• Was described as possessing “exquisite swordsmanship” during his ordinary Inquisition work. 219
• Considered himself capable of defeating an average skilled opponent even while heavily handicapped. 218
• Saved two companions from a disabling vibration by pushing them clear. 235
• Used lamp oil and fire to destroy the armor-bound entity that conventional attacks could not harm. 241 242
• Pursued and disabled a fleeing Heterodox by driving his sword into the target's leg. 270
• Served as bait and distraction against a Deep Layer organism, allowing Kraft to execute their counterattack. 322 324

Inquisition Leadership

Green directs Church personnel effectively in dangerous, unfamiliar environments.

• Orders search teams to work in pairs, maintain return routes, and mark paths through underground sites. 224
• Recalls sentries and suspends searches when flooding threatens his personnel. 233
• Organizes preparations for the underground lake expedition, including a plank road, checkpoints, a lighthouse, and boats. 310
• Reacts quickly to rescue calls and leads the group toward endangered survivors. 321

Theology and Exorcism

Green is highly educated in Church doctrine and can apply it under pressure.

• Identifies anomalous events using the neutral term “Anomalous Phenomenon,” rather than dismissing them as simple superstition. 244
• Performs an exorcism ritual on a cultivator possessed by a Chaos Entity, helping stabilize the captive and the group’s morale. 275
• Uses doctrine to challenge Turner’s belief that the Entity’s call represents Heaven. 274
• Interprets religious imagery, burial symbols, and heraldic color conventions encountered in the tomb complex. 275

Investigation and Heraldry

Green combines Inquisition procedure with careful archival research.

• Investigates Professor Morrison's manuscript purchase and identifies an unrecorded hexagonal pattern as possible Heterodoxy worship. 220
• Traces the armor’s sword emblem through Church heraldry resources with Brother Marco. 253 254
• Learns that the crest belongs to an uninherited branch of the Pendragon royal family buried on Knight Island. 255
• Notices abnormal details in the sewer path, including altered brickwork, porous structures, geometric marks, and evidence of recent activity. 266

Deep Layer Sensitivity

After the tomb expedition, Green develops an increasing sensitivity to anomalous influence.

• Experiences nightmares, voices, directional sounds, and physical disorientation associated with Dunling’s Deep Layer. 290 293 294
• Enters the documented second stage of Deep Layer contact after hearing an overwhelming summons from Dunling. 300
• Uses an influence-measuring bottle supplied by Kraft; it glows in Brother Sandor’s room, confirming abnormal activity. 300 309
• This sensitivity is debilitating rather than controllable, prompting Kraft to advise him to leave Dunling temporarily. 294 295

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Longsword — concealed beneath his clerical robe and used in combat and restraint. 220 274
• Lanterns and torches — carried during tomb and sewer searches. 224
• Influence-measuring bottle — a lead bottle containing an object that glows red when it detects serious anomalous influence; entrusted to him by Kraft. 300
• Inquisition clerical attire — white robes bearing the Double-Wing Ring, marking his Church authority. 220

Relationships

• Brother Wadin — longtime companion, fellow former student, deputy, and confidant. Wadin delivers intelligence, supports Green’s decisions, and handles practical matters such as paperwork and command of personnel. 219 233 294
• Kraft — initially a suspicious subject in Green’s Heterodoxy investigation; later a trusted investigative partner. Their differing views on anomalous knowledge persist, but they repeatedly cooperate in the field and protect one another. 218 245 294 324
• Brother Marco — Church librarian and heraldry specialist who assists Green’s confidential research into royal genealogy and the armor crest. 253 255
• Brother Sandor — monk whose worsening anomalous condition alarms Green. Green restrains him after recognizing his threat and later investigates his disappearance. 291 309
• Brother Turner — subordinate affected by a Chaos Entity’s call. Green confronts his blasphemous interpretation of the Entity and attempts to contain the situation. 274 275
• Professor Morrison — recurring Medical School target of Green’s investigations, suspected of connections to illicit manuscripts, unusual potions, and Heterodoxy. 219 220

Story Role / Major Arcs

Dunling Heterodoxy Investigation

Green begins tracking suspicious activity connected to Dunling University’s Medical School, Professor Morrison, and a manuscript bearing hexagonal architectural rubbings. He refuses an antique dealer’s bribe, identifies the pattern as a possible unrecorded heresy, and loses an informant to a suspicious fire. 220

He forms a temporary alliance with Kraft, whose unusual medical practice and connection to the cemetery had drawn Inquisition attention. Together, they determine that the hexagonal motifs are legitimate Heterodoxy symbols and begin tracing their source. 218 223

Mausoleum and Sewer Expedition

Green leads Inquisition teams into underground tombs and sewers to locate the Heterodoxy patterns. The search escalates after rainfall, a moon-like object rises from a deep well, and the team encounters impossible cuts, distorted symbols, and armor-bound entities. 224 233 235 240

When a demonic creature inhabiting rusted armor attacks, Green tries to save his companions and ultimately destroys it with fire. He later shares the surviving armor and its sword emblem with Kraft, beginning their joint investigation into the creature’s prism core and royal connections. 241 242 245 246

Royal Heraldry Inquiry

Seeking the armor’s origin, Green receives confidential access to Church records and consults Brother Marco. Their research identifies the emblem as belonging to a lost Pendragon branch associated with Knight Island, while Church bureaucracy delays a larger response to the heretic threat. 253 255

Tomb Complex and Chaos Entity

Green leads Kraft and the monks through the burial complex, where they encounter Church iconography, Black Salt formations, possessed personnel, and a Chaos Entity that exploits despair and religious longing. He performs an exorcism on a possessed captive and resists the Entity’s attempt to redefine “Heaven.” 273 274 275

Deep Layer Affliction and Return to Dunling

The tomb expedition leaves Green vulnerable to recurring dreams, auditory phenomena, and worsening Deep Layer influence. Although he accepts temporary leave and Kraft’s warning to stay away from Dunling, Sandor’s disappearance and the detector’s reaction convince him that inaction is more dangerous. 293 295 309

He returns to help prepare and lead the expedition into the underground lake world. There, he remains calm during navigation, attempts to rescue survivors, and cooperates with Kraft against an intelligent Deep Layer organism. 310 311 321 322 324
