Judus Alagath

“What’s a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority. But the existence of a cult does not mean that images appropriate to it automatically follow. Watch. Anyone who turns away is weak. And the weak shall die."
-Judus Alagath
== History ==
Formerly the leader of the Atlantean rebels. Once a lower ranking member of the Church of the Deep. He is not a priest, but a warlock of the Tholorhee. 
== Personality ==
Normally calm and easy-going, Alagath's rare moments of anger were brief, frightening, and explosive. He enjoyed his esoteric reputations and often posed riddles and questions to acolytes that they were unable to answer. A devout worshiper of Tholorhee, he believed that cultists of the god should cultivate their minds and imaginative faculties as to gain more insight into their god and into the world beyond. Despite this belief, however, Alagath lived in terror of the hereafter and would have done anything to escape death. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Alagath called upon Atlanteans to rebel in the name of Queen Lorelei the Reborn.
The rebellion triggers the watchword - “butcher’s ill came due,” raising Atlantis in revolt against King Raine. Lorelei the Reborn was seen in Ebidore by the common folk, in Coalune by the rebels, and in Atlantis by the nobility and priesthood. 
The Rebel Army marches on Atlantis. The Raine Knights emerge to do battle with them in Sunken City. 
Rioters take many towns, including Ebidore, and many districts in Atlantis. There is war in the streets. The Royal Envoy, Kenres Purallath, allies with Silke, the Admiral of the Navy, to engineer a military coup and capture the royal palace. Many Marines and nobles support them. First Counselor Cehres Remolnath and Covnos Nahrogath, the Commander of the Royal Guard, stay loyal. The Royal Guard and the loyal Marines hold the palace, which is current under siege. 
A number of priests in the Church of the Deep defect, and proclaim the rebel leader, Judus Alagath, to be the true Pontiff. 
== After the War ==
Judus Alagath remains the leader of the faction of the Church of the Deep who defected to worship Tholorhee. He is in contact with Lorelei the Reborn and can call upon her for aid when necessary. 
== The Great Awakening ==
Judus Alagath is among those who go to war with the Final Empire. He is killed by Aric Vere.
