Isaiah

Isaiah belongs to the nobility of Warren. He is a psychologist and priest.

Personality
Isaiah is a cruel, nasty man that is overly concerned with power and success to the point of destroying others around him, including Arturur. He is strict beyond all measure, and a hypocrite as well, as he does not follow his own precepts. Isaiah can be a difficult man to like.

History
Due to his powerful defiance and rebellious behaviour, Isaiah was sent to live in Wendell at age seven. There, he learned to distrust his own people and to seek out power needlessly and excessively. Peasants are naturally against the society of the ruling class, so this is not entirely surprising. Arturur has always considered him brainwashed.

However, there is more to Isaiah than what first impressions would lead you to believe. He is ruthless, all on his own, but he guides his hand to tasks where ruthlessness should be avoided. He is obsessed with the Church, and ferociously jealous of Arturur's position as the Wexler. Isaiah does not believe that Arturur is mature enough to run the Church, nevermind the Academy, Jensen, and the Church. He feels that people give into Arturur simply because he is the Prince, which is something that Isaiah is totally against.

Arturur and Isaiah have always fought constantly. Arturur stands by the book as is his nature and Isaiah demands that he have a more open mind, that he not be so completely controlled by tradition and his own sense of protocol. Isaiah's need to be in control burns like the fiercest flame and he has always seen Arturur as a weak leader. His need to bring down the Prince is infamous.

Recently, he has returned to his birthplace in Warren, where he is finally being forced to accept his station and the culture and customs of his people.
