Lifebringer

"The Lifebringers are many things. They are both our greatest strength, and should they fall into our enemy's hands, our greatest weakness. A single Lifebringer can permanently vanquish death for entire civilisations, and it is they who stand at the head of everlasting victory against cessation."
Zirin, on the Lifebringers
Lifebringers are Exalts who bear the Mantle of Death's Defeat.
== Exaltation ==
The Mantle of Death's Defeat is an Exaltation that allows otherwise impossible acts of healing and resurrection outside of similar Transcended Exaltations and Old Brethren Laws. The Mantle of Death's Defeat can heal and resurrect entities and forces that were physically and metaphysically completely annihilated, retroactively erased or afflicted with otherwise unhealing wounds/damage like those struck by Void Erasure and/or the Silence/Shardbearer abilities. The Exaltation can also be spread to others, and it is for this reason that Lifebringers are among the most common Exalts next to Mauretarian adherents. If they were not previously, those who receive the mantle attain the same kind of absolute immortality as Transcends and Elixir Immortals, as well as becoming an acausal being with all the protections that entails (immunity to time and timeline manipulation, time paradoxes, retroactive erasures etc.). Once given, the Exaltation cannot be rescinded, nor can the receiver give up their Exaltation, as it permanently and irreversibly merges into the receiver's mind/soul/Void Core etc.
Lifebringers are among the core strengths of the Weave and its Remnant, and a key contributor to the former's relative dominance during its golden age, as civilisations and infrastructure that would have been lost in cosmic catastrophes or wars against outside powers were turned immortal or recovered from their destruction. The devastation caused by Tor, however, was irrecoverable, as its corruption renders whatever was lost to it dangerous to bring back. The induction of Lifebringers into the ranks of the Warring Throne's Sovereigns has since allowed the faction to consolidate their hegemony in the present day.
== Duties ==
"We've detected a Bound civilisation that tried to cross from their native universe to another one with incompatible laws of physics and metaphysics. They puffed out of existence the instant they teleported to their destination."
"Alright. I'll go bring them back. The detour from my route is small enough."
Alatea, listening post operator, relaying information to Bira, a Lifebringer, during a routine resurrection operation.
"I'll brief you on this assignment while you're on the way. We used to have a trio of criminals in this reality; a Transcend, an Old Brethren and a Shardbearer. The entire group had committed several counts of genocide, each of the three having used their abilities to retroactively erase multiple Bound civilisations. That includes all alternate variations across every timeline. This universe is the type to self-correct, so you won't need to do any work repairing all those timelines. Those timelines are the infinitely branching type, though since you've got some experience it shouldn't be a problem bringing back every alternate."

Within both the Weave and its Remnants, Lifebringers are entrusted with ensuring the continued existence of civilisations, including resurrecting dead ones. Due to their importance and the potential chaos they could cause should they go rogue, Lifebringers are among the most heavily monitored population within the Weave and its Remnant. Lifebringers are given ample incentive to stay with the Weave and its Remnant in the form of wealth, social connections and security, though the latter two act as a double edged sword should they decide to either defect or or go rogue; security teams tasked to protect Lifebringers are also the ones entrusted to mind-wipe them in such events. These teams are forbidden from socialising with their charge, instead monitoring them from afar. Lifebringers are part of the pragmatic benefits of that the Weave and its Remnant offers to civilisations and polities that join it; the gift of absolute immortality, and if that is unwanted, the assurance that their civilisation can be resurrected from its total destruction. 
In the Warring Throne, Lifebringers play a similar role to their Weave counterparts, albeit considerably expanded to include entire Pools of Possibility and multiversal forces. Every Lifebringer brought into the faction is fitted with a Throne to become a Sovereign, expanding the range and magnitude on which they can use their powers.
