## History

Pope Francis served as the 42nd Pope of the Christian Church. During this time, he was both the public pope as well as the pope of the true church that fought against the foreign races of the dark world. He was considered the most outstanding Pope in the last five centuries and brought a golden age to the church. It was through his leadership that the church was able to stand as an independent power of the British Empire. However, to keep hidden the true power of the church he retired once he hit the expected age of a mortal and withdrew into the shadows. He had hidden for so long that even the inner core of the church were surprised he was still alive when he came out to negotiate with Chen Fan.

Throughout his seclusion he continued to oversee the church while in close contact with the Adjudicator and the Christian Church's true leader, the Holy Child, also known as Aaron.

When the church received news that Chen Fan defeated the Reinhart Von Camarilla he communed with the Adjudicator on what to do with the remaining Kindred hidden within the Blood Sea. It was at this moment that Aaron appeared before them and stated that the Kindred within were still a large threat and that in terms of Chen Fan they should not provoke him no matter what. Originally believing that Chen Fan would be no match for Aaron they were shocked when he stated that Chen Fan's potential reminded him of his Father.

He then makes his first public appearance in the church for the first time in years when Chen Fan invades the Vatican looking for records on the Gate of Heaven. Reluctant at first, he attempts to deny him but when Chen Fan releases his power he realizes he stood no chance against him. Also keeping in mind of Aaron's original orders he backs down and gives Chen Fan all the information he sought.

His final appearance is when Chen Fan was believed to be dead after the Star World Corporation used a nuclear weapon on him at the Red Blood Sea. Remember the enmity Chen Fan started when he stole their secret records he mobilized 9 Immortal State Warriors, the Adjudicator, and many others to attack the North Qiong Sect. Working together with the Brahmins of India, Gold Clan, Russian War Wolves, and Druid Sect, they planned to completely decimate the North Qiong Sect, believing that they stood no chance due to Chen Fan being the only Earth Immortal. This caused them to be completely shocked when it was revealed that Chen Huaian had also become an Earth Immortal. However, this was short lived as Pope Francis revealed that they had also brought Aaron with them who easily defeated Chen Huaian. Unfortunately, just as they were about the begin the invasion, Chen Fan returned and defeated Aaron. Left without their only Earth Immortal, the invasion force was completely decimated, with Francis himself also perishing from the battle.
