Bishop Raphael

Bishop Raphael is the father of the Golden Hand, a cult-like religious organization that has allied themselves with the Indigo Syndicate, becoming the head of the Religious division.

He also has a strange obsession with gold, adorning his outfit and facilities in as much as the stuff as possible. This includes countless golden statues adorning his cathedrals. Where he gets all of the gold from is a mystery, though theories are going around about that point towards the kidnapping activities of his Golden Hand members.

When it comes to kidnapping victims, they are often subjected to "purification rituals" such as being strapped to a pole and being burned alive. Besides this, it's been said that some victims have been tossed into vats of molten gold to turn them into Raphael's golden statues (as if scalding their flesh wasn't bad enough)
As a part of a joint project with Nikolai Almuff and Dr. Eugene Krauser, they have also been tossing their victims into some strange contraption to mash and melt them into some sort of "paste," presumably for a ritual.
== Evaluation ==
Though syndicate propaganda claims him to possess holy powers of light magic, in practice he has mostly been seen using fire magic. Though fire magic is closely related to light, his complete neglect for the latter raises some suspicion. This discrepancy applies to his Golden Hand followers as well.
