Jocinero

"I was born of the moon and of the torment of a brave bull, and from myself, by the grace of the High Wills, my Holy Brethren. "

**Jocinero** is found in the Sleeping Canvases inside a painting of a bull, directly to the left from the second Prie Dieu altar. He is a large infant with a golden head and holds a horn that wraps around his wrist. He is presumably the first of the Children of Moonlight.

**Jocinero** was born from the moon and a bull, and from him came the **Children of Moonlight**, who are meant to protect souls in penance. His dialogue tells that the Miracle imprisoned them and thus they cannot protect penitent souls. This suggests that **Jocinero** and the **Children of Moonlight** are at odds with the will of the **Miracle**. This is further evidenced by the fact that **Jocinero** is kept in the **Sleeping Canvases**, a storage facility for heretical paintings and artifacts.

Item descriptions indicate that a painter created the associated mural as his last work. As soon as he finished, members of the Mother Church took it away and he never saw it again. This description also implies that the Church may have even commissioned this painting.

Upon first meeting **Jocinero**, he will ask the Penitent One to find the other **Children of Moonlight** and guide them back to him. At least 20 must be collected before he can be seen in the form pictured above., and he will give the Linen of Golden Thread relic. Saving all 38 of them and speaking to him will cause him to give the prayer Campanillero to the Sons of the Aurora.

## Relevant Item Description.

Members of The Mother came and took the painting away as soon as I told them it was finished. They didn't say a word, they just covered it up and carried it away. I have been painting for The Mother all my life, recreating moments of the lives of the saints, but for this last canvas... it was as if they didn't want anyone laying eyes on it; they did not even let me, its creator, see it on display, if they ever came to display it. It was the last commission they requested from me.

 **After Finding Some** | You have found some of my brothers.
 **After Finding 20** | Penitent One, in finding these holy brethren of mine you have completed the vision of my birth, which was painted on a sleeping canvas.
 **After Finding All** | Joyful are your returning steps. You have found all of my brothers imprisoned by the Miracle.
Now that they are free they will be able to protect all souls in penance, as well as your own.
 **Talking Again** | Contrite be the heart, Penitent One in good fortune.
