Etán

:: "Holy? You speak to me of holiness? Come, then. If you would speak of holiness... then show me. Show me what holiness you truly serve!"
The enigmatic leader of the Cults of Kraderag, Etán has only ever been seen by the highest-ranked members of the cult. Etán is said to receive revelation directly from Kraderag itself, and they govern the cult through those trusted enough to speak to Etán face-to-face. On the rare occasions when Etán is seen, their face is always covered with a wooden mask that only has one eye visible and that bears the symbol of an open eye upon it.

Etán was found within the Sanctum of the Woken in God's Land after Adelle-Adelia-Adelaide spoke to Whist Jueneros. Though Adelle originally intended to convince Etán to let Whist go, Etán's very presence was intimidating enough that she was altogether easily convinced that Etán had Whist's best interests in mind and that Whist had been guided to the cults by Kraderag. However, shortly after Whist was handed the godslayer Lagrímala (which Etán had been carrying up until that point), Etán ordered Adelle to restrain Whist, and they stabbed Whist through the eye. Enraged by Etán's betrayal of Whist's trust in Adelle, Adelle turned against Etán.
As Etán and Adelle battled, Etán attempted again and again to murder Whist, held at bay only by Adelle's constant barrage of spells augmented by Lagrímala. During the fight, Adelle burned away Etán's mask, revealing that not only were Etán's eyes curiously glowing, but that they had both of them when all cultists were required to remove an eye in service of Kraderag. Furious at Etán's hypocrisy, Adelle's onslaught turned murderous, burning out one of their eyes in retribution for the lies, and Etán was soon killed, though not before cryptically saying that Kraderag would restore things to how they once were, and Etán would be remembered on that day.
