[ooc: Thedas needs someone who is completely dedicated to it at the sacrifice of everything else - including trying to assassinate royalty. Note: I'm hesitantly considering AUing him into the setting, but I'm open to how/what he'd be, so if you want to play with that, or have ideas, I can write a starter for that, since these are Rifter starters.]
IV. Crystals [The Cardinal is a man used to people listening to him and more importantly obeying him. He's also a man used to being in charge.]
I have attempted to gain knowledge of this place, however I am quite confused as to why the Inquisition would find itself in league with the Devil himself by aligning with these so-called mages.
[He's from a time when the Spanish Inquisition was quite active and he himself has presided over several witch-craft trials. To say the man is confused would be an understatement.]
V. Miscellaneous The Cardinal had been here several days and was trying to figure out how best to align himself. He was thinking these 'Templar' types were similar to his own Red Guards. At the very least, he might be able to get information from them. He was used to holding the power of all of France.
When he had been brought here, the Queen had announced she was with child. But, the Cardinal knew that she had betrayed the King in a manner worse than how he (the Cardinal) had betrayed her. She was thought to be barren, so she needed to be killed. Who could have known it was the King who was sterile? Though, now that it had been announced, all he had to do was get rid of Aramis....
He had to return. He had too much work to do. This complicated matters of state far more than he was comfortable with. He was also tired of what little he had here... He needed something more and needed it now. To anyone who looked somewhat in the know, he would ask several questions, because he needed to know how best to connect with those in charge. He needed to establish his network of spies. So, his questions might seem benign. The sort of questions any Rifter might ask. Except, they were pointed as well. They tried to get to the heart of the power structure in this place.

"But most importantly: who is in charge?"
