BishopOfTheChalcedonyThurible
From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
The deathlord who resides in the Hidden Tabernacle northwest of Whitewall. He has vast influence on the living world in this region, and is a suitable foe for most chronicles set in the North. He's a master martial artist and bears a black jade crozier, but doesn't use it as a weapon. He's also completely nuts.
