Martin Luther

Martin Luther, born to a copper miner named Hans and his wife Margarte, was raised a faithful Roman Catholic. Like many of that church, he grew in faith and eventually joined the Order of Priests. However, a series of life-changing events redirected him towards the Order Divine, and today Martin Luther is best known for kicking off the Protestant Reformation.
Most Xtrian Churches today are descended, all be it directly or indirectly, from Martin Luther and his actions. 
== Facts: ==
-Born in 1483, Martin Luther is raised as the son of a prosperous copper miner during a time when many families are struggling. 
-Martin is raised a devout Catholic and sent to study law at the University of Wittenburg. He proves to be an apt student, but also gains the moniker of "king of hops" owing to the amount of beer he drinks. 
-During a particularly vicious lightning storm, Martin Luther cries out to St. Anne for deliverance and is delivered. He encounters the saintly figure inwardly and is transformed into an Adept of the Order of Priests. 
-Martin Luther gives up his worldly possession and, to the rage of his father, enters into the Augustinian religious order. 
-Martin Luther takes to the monastic life with a zeal that is frightening to some observers. Despite the success of his studies and length of his spiritual practices, Martin Luther reports to be continual chased by a fear of God's Wrath. Nothing can shake him of this inward fear and it haunts his every waking hour. 
-One day, while deep thought (while in the monastery's bathroom of all places), Martin Luther achieves the realization that salvation comes not from righteousness but by faith. 
-This initial theological notion would be hammered out and further developed by the many events of Luther's life. To make matters short, Luther came to believe that the Catholic Church (while essentially ruled Western Europe on a religious level) was a lie. All Christians could achieve salvation simply through the reading of scriptures and accepting Jesus Christ on faith alone. 
-Martin Luther's spiritual epiphany causes him to experience God as The Redeemer. He is converted from the Order of Priests to the Order of Infinity.
