Awsome, I am excited you noticed. His title is actually Archcleric, similar
to archbishop but for a different type of religion, and yes I am aware, i
chose that name after reading "Murder in the Catherdral" by T.S. Eliot, a
dramatization of the real Beckett, anyway, i was dissapointed with Beckett's
choice of supposed martyrdom so I thought his name would be fitting. I
include a few other literary refrences to. The owner of the shipping
company is Josiah Bounderby from Dickens's "Hard Times", I also call him a
"self-made man" another reference to Bounderby's character and a phrase used
by Fitzgerald in "the Great Gatsby". I try to include other references to
reward those who can find them (as you did) and it makes the stories much
more interesting to provide these connections.

Your Veoir Armyn look really cool too especially the one in the front with
