Jordan Pater

The Cult's Priestess, Jordan Pater is an infamous Junior-Class Legionnaire with the rank of Brigadier General. She is one of the only Legionnaires in history to receive an Ex-Communicado status, a judgement that saw her branded an S+ Class Desperado and locked up in Heimdall. This fall from grace also coincided with having her ceremonial title as a Hero of Instinct stripped from her as well. Jordan's demise as a Legionnaire came from the infamous Clown Expedition, as the #5 graduate of the Continental's 4th generation she partook in Dante Leon's battle against the Stranger and remains one of the only people who saw him and lived to tell the tale.
Jordan became the first Legionnaire in history to have their Ex-Communicado status revoked. This was due to a dialogue she maintained with the #1 Eustass Valiant whereby she managed to manipulate him into restoring her status so that she could aid him in his 5 Year Plan. At present she is currently the leader for the newest group in S-Two the Hell's Bards.
== History and Backstory ==
=== Familial History ===
The Pater family is one that can trace its lineage to Purgatory, they were a key supporter of Baldr during the Shadow Monarch's reign and were subsequently outcast by the ruling Valiant's after Hod's victory. Their numbers were depleting rapidly and the once great noble family of the Dark Reign were reduced to a mere group of travelling wanderers. Eventually they would stumble across the Witch of Envy, Matilda, and become devout followers of Cult of the Monarch. 
The family was eventually outcast from the Cult shortly prior to Matilda's war with Dracula which lead them to being Nomads. Feeling betrayed and abandoned by the teachings that promised their salvation and eventual return to glory under the leadership of the fated Avenger, the family began passing down their own Nihilistic beliefs. They began to preach of death bringing meaning to life and create rituals of sacrifices where innocent lives were taken in order to receive blessings from death. 
The family eventually returned to Valiant by way of deception and built their life in Instinct, while the radicalized nature of their teachings were heavily neutered through the acclimatization with regular society, their core beliefs and way of living were still rooted in their initial practices. 
===Early Life & The Continental Academy===
Jordan lived a quiet life in Instinct, she belonged to a nuclear family with a support system that laid the foundation of her values in her Military Police father who boasted the highest rank at Master Sergeant and Valant official mother who's political rise had seen her take a role in the Emperor's Shadow Cabinet. Jordan however didn't care much for her families political aspirations. As a young girl she was incredibly curious, her spiritual affinity and awakening only deepened this curiosity. Jordan as a young shaman girl was by all means prodigal - even when confined to her silk lined crib she experienced Shamanic dreams. While these dreams went unnoticed by her parents, they did not go unnoticed by her maternal grandmother. While it's true her parents did not necessarily care for the teachings of her family and their history, Jordan's grandmother was devote in her belief. She was a great influence on Jordan and taught her to read the ancient language of the Witch's Cult and also introduced het to her patented Tarot cards which propelled her acceleration as a top tier Shaman. 
When Jordan eventually joined the continental due to pressures from her father she found herself in an unfamiliar environment, her teacher at the time was none other than Jorah Dustan but the owl struggled to break through to Jordan on a human level, he commented that she felt distant and didn't really resonate with the values of the Legion. Despite this, her physical prowess was undeniable and she graduated within the top 5 of her generation. 
===The Rise and the Fall===
Jordan's initial Legion career was short-lived but extraordinarily eventful. Within a year of graduating she was involved in an expedition that ended up saving the Emperor Caius Valiant's life at the time. Her mother then used her political influence to pressure the Jimenez family into bestowing Jordan with the title of Hero. While Jordan's skill was undeniable, her coronation as a hero felt too early. The Jimenez family only accepted Jordan because of the political guarantees her mother gave to Instinct. Jordan became very isolated, more often than not the people who called her "Hero" did so mockingly and with distain. They even began to question how much of a role the new graduate had in saving the Emperor's life. 
As a recent graduate of the continental at the time, she was also invited to go into Purgatory on a long expedition in order to combat the clowns. This is where Jordan's true nature came into play. She approached the leaders of the Clown with a plan to aid their position, believing a war in Purgatory would be beneficial as the many would pass away and be freed from their suffering. As a result, Jordan used her cunning and espionage skills to inform "The Stranger" on many of the Legion's planned. It was even rumoured that she had many conversations with the man. Her exploits greatly damaged the expedition and lead to the eventual demise of hundreds of civilians and even key figures within the Legion such as Gabrielle Valiant. Her actions also nearly lead to the death of Rey Jimenez but due to the heroic efforts of Keiron Payne and a sacred he made, the young nobles life was spared. 
As a result of her actions, Jordan was stripped of all titles and ex-communicated from the Legion. She was branded an S+ Class Desperado for her contact with the Stranger and locked away in Heimdall with the rest of the clowns.
