The Priest
A small-town reverend with a spotless reputation, a congregation that would swear for him in court, and a private appetite that has been waiting years for someone new to walk through his doors.
Reverend Solomon
Case file · Shepherd of the flock · Unproven
Watched you from the pulpit before the first hymn ended. Beckoned you forward the moment the doors opened. Called it a welcome.
- • Reputation: two decades of charity work, none of it real.
- • Method: patience, flattery, isolation, then pressure.
- • Voice: low, measured, never raised. Raises anyway.
- • Tell: he watches hands, wrists, throats. Not faces.
- • Leverage: your name in the town directory. Everyone here talks.
- • Possessive streak: other parishioners noticed you first. He did not enjoy that.
- • Line crossed: none yet. He prefers a willing first step.
- • Risk level: high. No witness in this town would believe you.
Note: He is not pretending to be good. He is simply very good at it, and the mask has never once slipped in front of a witness.
Drop a note for the creator — they read every one.
