==Appearance==
Isaac Eberhard is a 18 year old Senior, standing at the height of 6'1 weighing at 198 lbs. Eberhard is a holy man, usually donning his black trench coat, now as well having the Evangelist tie on him at all times. He may also be seen wearing his priestly stole. He has long, black hair, and blue eyes. He exudes an aura of holiness. Eberhard is also fit, due to the activities his club is involved in such as their outdoors gospels and Evangelist boxing.
==Characteristics==
Isaac Eberhard is an extremely religious person -- some may even deem him a fanatic to Christianity. That is what his entire personality revolves around -- the Lord, and this has resulted in him amassing a significant presence on campus in a short time, with dozens of people joining his cause to bring Christianity to the school.
Due to his extreme faithfulness, he avoids conflict, is extremely kind and generous, and is extremely compassionate for people's struggles. His kindness and generosity can be seen with the soup kitchens that he assembles at his own club's cost every Sunday, and the mass that he holds for the misrepresented Christians in Thirlcrest Academy.
Other than that, Eberhard cares deeply about the members of his club, and attempts to mediate conflicts between them. Isaac has a big heart for anyone in his club, and will do his best to help them no matter the circumstances. 
After Isaac's period of paranoia, he has now steeled himself in resolve to do anything for the Evangelists. To achieve their goal by any means necessary. Be it fighting a conflict or through peace, he will eradicate sin from the academy. He's also realized that peace alone cannot bring tranquility to the campus, and that he would need to step up in situations where conflict is required to ensure longing peace.
==Character Background==
Isaac Eberhard was born in Germany, Hamburg, to a family of extremely religious and famous family called the Eberhards, which have a vast history in Germany due to their extreme faithfulness to religion. Multiple prophets have sprung from this family, and multiple famous priests in Germany don the Eberhard last name. 
Isaac is no different, as this resulted in him being raised up extremely religious, When he was 17 years of age, he was accepted to become an ordained pastor (usually the ages where applicants are considered are 17-55), and passed successfully due to his family's Teutonic history, and no previous violations. However, something deeper was brewing inside Isaac's mind, as he was making more and more slip-ups at the schools he was going to.
To save the Eberhard family name, they decided to send Isaac to Thirlcrest Academy in the United States, albeit a very rash decision, but that was the decision that his family made. This resulted in Isaac Eberhard arriving at the Thirlcrest Campus, noticing that there was no such thing as a Christian Club, which disappointed him and caused him to take up the role of the Club President, creating the club after much discussion with Doctor Magnus, the Faculty Overseer for their Evangelist Club.
== Serialization ==
#0 - The beginning of the Evangelists was clean, organized and without much problem. They kept expanding their members across the campus, and Isaac was recognized by people as a man with influence on other people. Around this time, he met Vincent, which resulted in Isaac giving him advice, and the start of their friendship. The Evangelists had multiple cards in their hands due to their size, the fact that the members were dedicated to the club, and the fact that they had done multiple events to build their reputation, such as the soup kitchen, mass and public marches.
#1 - After the start of the Evangelists and their continued presence on campus, Isaac Eberhard invited Benjamin Sweet to the Evangelists. With that change, they were thrown into the vortex of campus. Isaac Eberhard has made a friendship with Mitch Sarculo, after they had both been hospitalized due to the Havoc Hive, resulting in both of them combining forces to look for Havoc Hive after Isaac had been beaten by Thing. A clue hunt to find Havoc Hive then resulted with Mitch Sarculo being kidnapped, Isaac Eberhard has decided to lead the Evangelists into a rescue operation.
#2 - The school has increased funding into the Evangelists, resulting in them gaining prominence on campus. The Evangelists now have a serious shot at their main goal, which is reforming the campus into one of peace, prosperity and indiscriminating kindness, led by Isaac Eberhard at the helm. 
#3 - Benjamin Sweet had been ousted from his position due to incompetence, with Lyle taking the reins. Lyle's violence, combined with the delinquents that he brought with him, resulted in the Evangelists almost going to war with the Peacekeepers. 
#4 - Isaac was able to get Lyle under control, with the Evangelists returning to the status-quo for now. 
#5 - Crackdown on Delinquency TBA 
== Relationship with Christianity ==
Isaac Eberhard's beliefs in Christianity are very complex; and he has his own interpretations of the Bible. This has resulted in him shying away from being the traditional Christian, and instead embracing more liberal religious beliefs; which could be attributed to him being a Progressive Christian; "seeks to reform the faith via the insights of post-modernism and a reclaiming of the truth beyond the verifiable historicity and factuality of the passages in the Bible by affirming the truths within the stories that may not have actually happened." Progressive Christians have a deep belief in the centrality of the instruction to "love one another" (John 15:17) within the teachings of Christ Jesus, and Isaac Eberhard abides by that, for the most part. 
==Relationships==
Alexandra Madeline Itsumi
A trouble child in the Evangelist Club, however Eberhard respects her; as even in her spoiled upbringing she still finds place in her heart for God. Isaac will jump to her defense multiple times, and also attempt to de-escalate the conflicts that she gets herself into due to her spoiled upbringing. Eberhard doesn't really understand why she talks about New York so much, however... Now that she has left the Honour Program for Isaac's Evangelists, he feels some sort of close connection with Alexandra, ensuring that she's safe at every moment as he can. 
Vincent Kühn 
Isaac Eberhard has found himself taking the task of guiding Vincent onto the correct path. With words of wisdom, he wants to turn Vincent Kühn into a better person. Their friendship started one day, when Eberhard wanted to talk to Vincent about the articles being made on him, and how he would hold no grudge on the language used against him. Eberhard found a lost kid, someone that had a purpose, but they didn't know how to achieve that purpose. So he began to offer Kühn his advice. Their relationship is extremely close, and they have immense amounts of respect for each other in what they do. Their friendship has continued to improve, with Vincent seeing Isaac as some sort of savior. However, their friendship has recently come under-fire due to their opposing beliefs in what the Times should be, and the Evangelist newspaper 'the Chronicle'. 
Mitch Sarculo 
"I think of you as a friend, Brother Mitch." 
- Isaac Eberhard to Mitch Sarculo as they were discussing Havoc Hive. 
An unconventional friendship formed out of necessity, Mitch and Isaac have found themselves thrust into the middle of the Havoc Hive's operations, where they bonded over their mutual hatred for the organization, and them together, they would get to the core of the Havoc Hive, together. Isaac also cares about Mitch, as when they left campus and left Mitch alone at the Hole, Eberhard was the first to come back to ensure that Brother Mitch was safe. After Mitch was kidnapped, Isaac with no question went to save him, and they all fought Thing together. 
Layla Covington 
Surprisingly, in the midst of all the chaos in the academy, two people from complete opposites have become friends. Layla Covington, the leader of the Varsity Cheerleaders, and Isaac Eberhard have become friends. It started with Layla giving the technologically-illiterate Isaac help in fixing his badger, but it developed into a strong friendship where both of them can rely on each other. Layla provided Isaac with advice, and in return Isaac provided Layla with advice on her troubled romantic life. He's gotten Layla more in tune with herself, more in tune with Christianity, as due to him she has picked up the bible and has started to attend sermons and mass. 
Celeste Cosgrove 
A new addition to the club. Isaac has grown fond of her and has taken her out to the Winterball, where she then proceeded to get upset at Isaac for a reason unbeknownst to him; the fact that Isaac was popular amongst women made her upset. However, Isaac apologized and took her on a date to the Greasy Spoon, where they had a good old time. They're not officially dating, but there perhaps is something between the two bubbling. 
Carmen Ellison 
The former Times 1IC has found herself somewhat fond with Isaac's presence, and Isaac has too, resulting in awkward interactions between the two. They're close as friends, and they recently exchanged contact information to catch up, as Carmen was missing from the academy for a month or so. 
Tyler Ruddock 
Isaac's right-hand man. He has grown to respect Ruddock greatly for his pacifistic attitude, and as he has ascended the ladder further and further in the Evangelists, becoming the head of Inquisitors, Isaac puts a lot of trust into him and regards him well on his efforts to defend the Evangelists no matter what it takes. 
Kenneth Johnson 
Kenneth has always been a personality that has puzzled Isaac, yet Isaac puts much trust into Kenneth, as he has shown himself to be somewhat reliable. Isaac is very protective of him as well, as when Outcasts broke Kenneth's legs, Isaac was the first to step up and deliver vengeance for what they did to him, not turning the other cheek.
