Bio (remember, this is 1459)
Berach Hogan was the fourth son of ten children born to poor Irish millers in County Cork. A bright young boy, his father taught all he could provide- Irish dances, songs, tales, and fighting styles. But the Hogans couldn't afford a proper education, and they saw their son going bright places. And so, he was sent to a monastery near Cork proper to join the priesthood. Here, the boy could really shine- he dedicated himself to studying the written word, and memorized as much of the good book as he could. Though he got into a number of scuffles (as boys will), he was quite well-liked by the priests. By the time he was a man, he was already a Deacon. The priest who helped raise him

Abilities
Dornálaíocht- The Irish style of boxing.

Bataireacht- The Irish art of fighting with a club, stick, or cudgel.
Encyclopedic Knowledge of the Bible and its Apocrypha

Gear/Tools/Weapons:
The Suit of Sorrows- The Suit of Sorrows is a sacred relic of the Order of St. Dumas, a knightly order that served the Church during the Crusades by rooting out creatures of the night in the Holy Land. However, 100 of their number committed heinous crimes in the name of the church, and for this heresy were forever barred entry to heaven. Links were taken from each of their armor, bound to their forever screaming souls, and used to make this suit of chainmail, all in the hopes of turning these heathens' souls to some use to mankind. The wearer hears their cries of anguish at every moment, enough to drive most men mad. But in exchange for the toll on his sanity, the wearer of this nigh-impenetrable mystical armor has the strength, stamina, martial prowess, and fervor of 100 highly trained crusaders... for as long as they can bear to keep the armor on.
The Angel's Sword- This flaming longsword is forged of The Eighth Metal- the sacred steel from which all divine weapons are made. Upon contact with the air and being invoked by Azrael, it bursts into surging sacred flames. However, it is far too heavy for any human to wield.
The Staff of Ash- St. Patrick once spent so long proselytizing to the Celts that his staff took root and grew into a mighty ash tree- and from a branch of that ash tree, Berach has fashioned a walking stick-sized shillelagh. This sacred relic is immune to flame and weathering.
The Whip of Yeshua- The holiest relic in Azrael's arsenal, this weapon was fashioned by Jesus of Nazareth himself. Made of cords and intended to drive the moneychangers from the temple, this weapon is used as a nonlethal- but far more painful- alternative to the Staff and Sword. As it was fashioned by divine hands, it can not be cut with any earthly material, and seems to hold up to any amount of strain.
Arquebuses- The cutting edge of technology, this futuristic weapon (officially invented in 1411) operates using charges made of saltpeter, nitrate, and pigeon excrement to propel small iron balls through a tube at high speeds. While it is extremely loud and takes a while to reload, its individual shots are easier to ready and aim while wearing plate than arrows.
