Absolver

Absolvers are a type of magically enhanced human within the novel ''Dark Blaze. ''They are the strongest of the inquisitors within the Vatican Church and are seen mostly as the personal, super powered soldiers of the Pope himself.

Background:
Darryl M. Finch-Ellis desired to create magically enhanced inquisitors which were loyal to the Vatican Church and differentiate them to the Protestant Church. Upon forming the blueprints for what would become the absolvers, Finch-Ellis used them as one of the major catalysts for the second split of Christianity.

Origins:
The absolvers were created by the Vatican Church to combat the increasing difficulty the creatures of the night posed, as well as to retain power within their strongholds in Christendom. Their creation was one of the major reasons for the Protestant Reformation as rebel cardinals and Christians in Europe believed that the Papacy were abusing their powers with the creation of the absolvers being the pinnacle of this lunacy of power.

Nothing is known as of yet to how an absolver is created, all that is known is that they were originally human inquisitors of the Papacy.
