Curate Jusué Navarro

Curate Jusué Navarro is the curate of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Libertad and, due to his youthful exuberance and charisma, has gained informal leadership of the Church in all of Nueva Aragona since its entry into the Demiplane of Dread. The common people love him and he is the target of admiration and longing for many young women. Yet he is opposed by two notable figures in the republic. Curate Elias Machera believes him to be an upstart and is jealous of his popularity and power, and Machera wishes to merge the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows with the foreign Church of Ezra of the Core, a movoement Navarro opposes. This rift is exploited by General Martin José Maconda, whom sees the Church and Navarro as threats to his power but will not act against Navarro openly due to his popularity. However, Maconda is not above using his Brotherhood of the Salamander to make secret strikes against the Church.
