## Appearances

### Debut

Forming the Outremer Organization

Pelagius Godfrey (Latin: Pelagius Godefreidus) was born **Pelagius Mune Godfrey** in Roman Nobility, he became deeply involved in the clergy being the Pontifex Maximus in the Roman Empire then converting to Christianity and become a clergyman in the Holy Roman Empire and then when Clement VIII was officially a French Puppet, proclaimed by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph as Pope until being declared Anti-Pope by Pope Clement VIII and going back to being Archbishop of Mainz after the Holy Roman Emperor, Konrad III, recognized St. Pius I as the legitimate Pope of all of Discord, he then rose to the ranks to be Camerlengo of the Papacy and forming the Outremer Organization, a crusader state stationed in the holy land. He was also the first cleric to be canonically ousted from power which inflicted the Controversial Synod of Baudouin.

## Early-life

He was born in Rome, in the Imperium Romanum, studying religion with Skar. There is little to be known of Pelagius's family and there is a rumor he is actually a direct relative of the Roman Emperor Julius.

## Rising to being Pontifex Maximus

He eventually found his way being Pontifex Maximus by Julius. Being a assistant of Julius in every of his battles being known discord wide as a possible successor to Julius, but that wouldn't happen, Roover eventually became Roman Emperor and ended the Roman Kingdom, Pelagius was not a fan of Roover and left the Roman Empire to convert to Christianity.

## Being Archbishop of Mainz

He eventually was promoted to being Archbishop of Mainz in the Holy Roman Empire, only for a short time when the Papal States was moved to Avignon, this angered the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph Biden and declared Pelagius Pope, German Cardinals and Oppositions to the now Avignon Papacy moved to Biden's newly formed Papacy, one of them we're St. Pius I.

## Anti-Papacy

He became anti-pope to Clement VIII since that day and began to call crusades on Jerusalem, Rome, essentially Pope-less, decided to hold a Council to end this Crisis. Pelagius was unconcerned of the Council in Rome and hoped to still be supported by the Holy Roman Emperor, unfortunately, it was a new one, Konrad III declared the newly formed Papacy in Rome as the legitimate Papacy and recognized St. Pius I as Supreme Pontiff. Pius returned Pelagius to his position as Archbishop of Mainz, essentially ending his reign as Anti-Pope, giving that title to the Popes in Avignon who gave little to no concern to the newly formed Papacy of Discord.

## Career in the Papacy of Discord and promotion to the College of Cardinals

He began to be a major influence in the Papacy's goals in expanding influence. Establishing the Outremer to support Pius's 1st Crusade. In return, he was promoted to the College of Cardinals.

Unsurprisingly, there was a feud between the Inquisitor Organization and his Outremer Organization, especially between an Inquisitor by the name of Carsten Muller. Insulting him for his looks and ideologies.

## Promotion to being the 1st Camerlengo of the Holy Discordian Church

He was eventually promoted and appointed to the Roman Curia as Camerlengo, a high position that serves as the assistant of the Pontiff and sole representative of the Papacy and the Holy See.

He became a controversial one though, frequently having feuds with the Pontiff on The Forum and still insuting Carstend Muller.

## End of Office

He was Canonically ousted during the controversial Synod of Baudouin, which was one of the darkest times of the Papacy.
