Archbishop Sinclair

Archbishop in Strake - gammon headed.
Description
The archbishop was as corpulent and red faced as ever, his brush of white hair sticking up like a cock’s comb. (Chapter 7)
If Sinclair ever had an opportunity to put a boot on someone’s throat, he took it. (Chapter 7)
From Chapter 5:
Thorman watched as Sinclair lit a cigarette and flicked the match over the parapet of Grayfriars Tower. As the old man took the first few draws, Thorman tried to compose himself. He had known Sinclair before the reditus, and like Thorman the Archbishop had changed a great deal in the last year and a half. While Thorman had retreated into the strange world of sanity, Sinclair had embraced the chaos, and was a dangerous man because of it.
Sinclair had been unremarkable, as men of his kind went. He was the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland at the time of the reditus, six months into his twelve-month post before the world turned upside down. In the months that followed, while Thorman had been doing his best to stay alive Sinclair had flourished and he’d made sure, through various forms of skulduggery, that he had become the Archbishop of Strake.
Thorman suspected it is because Sinclair was a sociopath, or there was something else even more wrong with this red-faced corpulent man that meant he had no great issue with religious persecution and church sanction executions. Like Thorman’s wife, he had the blood of multitudes on his hands.
Chapter 11
Sinclair had gone home to Strake in the back of his armoured four-by-four. He’d grumbled about the increase in army checkpoints before he left, but evidently, he still preferred to be chauffeured around in a car than take the train.
