 You are not worthy to wield such a blade. You are not **worthy** to stand in God's presence, in **his light!** You **blasphemer!!**
—**Engracia**[src]
The religious zealot named **Engracia de Tremblay Dumas** is a powerful woman and worse enemy. Born in 1314, Engracia lived a relatively everyday life and grew up within the church. However, one fateful night, Engracia would become tormented by visions of a dark and gothic place. When presented to her priest, he recognized that this was a call of God for her to become something greater than Engracia of Troyes and gifted her The Molay Blade and a religious text written by The Sisterhood of The High Wills and instructed her to go forth and bring about the return of The Templars.

In the centuries to come, Engracia regathered The Knights Templar, which became more aggressive and zealous yet more secret. Engracia forced upon them what she claimed to be the "true" religion and an accurate depiction of The Bible, which she discovered under The Mediterranean Sea called The Sorrowful Miracle. With this newfound religious text and a deeper understanding of the "glorious creator" (eldritch horror), Engracia began to seek out religious artifacts for what she called "The Coming War." This led to her confronting Shay Daniels and her descendant, Owen Morgan, over The Ebony Blade at The Hoover Dam.

Recently, she began implementing her plans in Vegas and Colorado to exact revenge on Shay and Owen, but this time, she wanted more than The Ebony Blade. She plans to seize control of both cities as her first step in nationwide conquest to "cure" America of its sins and return it to its "religious" (eldritch) ways of life. Her firsts are Jane Harper, Connor Carter, Shay Daniels, and Ren Carter.

## Attributes

### Powers

**Unique Biology:** Engracia is a unique individual. As the wielder of The Molay Blade, Engracia is gifted with abilities that allow her to do several things, the most important of which is that she is immortal. She can only die from religious combat (combat that is for religious reasons), and her life is tied to the blade, making it unbreakable. It is not unlike Owen's connection to The Ebony Blade and Ren's connection to Epitaph, but it differs from theirs as The Molay Blade requires sinful blood to be effective. Without the blood of sinners, the blade is useless and will not work on others, which requires Engracia to slaughter sinners or consume the blood of the sinful to utilize the blade's more potent skills. This was shown when Engracia fought Shay and Owen in a collected pool of sinful blood inside The Hoover Dam when she was at one of her most powerful points.

* **Superhuman Physiology:** As a base, Engracia has a highly heightened physiology that was painful to receive as it was done through physical transformation and not just added onto like many other superhumans. She was strong enough to hurl Shay across the room and create a crater with his body. She was also strong enough to throw a punch hard enough to bend steel and cause physical damage to Owen in his Black Knight form. Her speed rivals that of Shay's as she could act faster than Shay's spider-sense could detect and move with such a blur that it left afterimages behind her. Her durability is equally heightened as it took both Owen and Shay to defeat her, barely even then. Her reflexes, equilibrium, and stamina have all also been similarly heightened.

* **Blood Magic:** Because of what the blade needs to survive, Engracia can mystically utilize blood. She can generate powerful concussive blasts of blood, manipulate the blood within someone's body, generate walls of blood, and more. However, she must have a source of blood to do this; otherwise, she cannot do this. Her prowess with blood magic is untold as she has done unnatural things such as freeze blood, explode it as a sort of "blood grenade," and even create blood spikes from the ground.

* **Divine Power:** Engracia is "divinely blessed," which, on some level, is accurate. Granted, her "divine blessing" comes from the eldritch beings called The High Wills, which allows her a specific ability. She can revive her knights with this ability and return them to life to keep fighting. This heals all their wounds and gives them a second chance at life at no cost to themselves.

* **Immortality:** Under no circumstances can Engracia die. The only type of death she can receive is from combat, in which both battle members fight for religious reasons; otherwise, she will always come back and enact holy vengeance on her supposed killer. She has lived through seven centuries and cannot contract diseases or otherworldly means of death. The only ones who can kill Engracia are the beings that she worships.

### Abilities

* **Tactical Brilliance:** Engracia is a wildly intelligent individual but not in any conventional sense. Engracia shines with her tactical know-how, while other villains have just a general intelligence. She was trained by the greatest tacticians in the world, such as Napoleon, Isoroku Yamamoto, and others who granted her a heightened awareness of tactical situations. She accurately predicted where Shay and Owen would exit The Hoover Dam to ambush them. She was able to create a plan to divide and conquer Las Vegas by placing the Knights Templar in covert locations, and she was able to set up black market deals for superhumans.

* **Grandmaster Combatant:** Having lived for almost a thousand years, Engracia is a perfected combatant who knows every fighting style known to humankind. She mastered it all to lead the Knights Templar. Her combat prowess is only rivaled by a handful of individuals but none more than Jade Dragon, Master Splinter, and Bucky Barnes, all of whom are renowned for their combat abilities. Engracia has fought Jade Dragon, and they were evenly matched, but the fight ended because Engracia was called away by her knights.

### Weaknesses

* **The Sorrowful Miracle:** The Sorrowful Miracle is a wildly different interpretation of The Bible that tells the story of "The Twisted One," or "The Father" (their Jesus), who was racked with such guilt that he prayed for punishment from The High Wills who granted it to him. He was "crucified" painfully against a log and was set there, turning into the first tree from which Eve took the apple. He only uttered to the "prophet" Deogracias, "My great guilt is atoned." This book also tells a different version of Revelations, "The Coming War, " which Engracia is preparing for. It also has some anti-superhuman themes, which led to this more fanatical version of The Knights Templar.

* **The Molay Blade:** The Molay Blade is a mystical weapon that Jacques de Molay last wielded. The blade gives Engracia her abilities, but she does not need it to survive as Ren Carter does, nor does she need it to grant her powers as Owen Morgan does. The blade is a tool that she utilizes. It may have been the conduit she gained her abilities, but it is not the reason for her being.
