Quotes / High Priest

Go To

There is no such thing as a good Grand Vizier. A predilection to cackle and plot must be part of the job spec. High Priests are much the same way. No sooner than they get the funny hat they start giving orders about feeding babies to the sacred crocodiles and throwing virgins into volcanoes.

HIGH PRIEST is nearly always EVIL, either on his own account or on behalf of the DARK LORD. Sometimes he is fat, thick-lipped, and corrupt, sometimes tall, thin, shaggy-browed, and corrupt. He will be wearing ROBES of enormous richness and a medallion round his neck that can shoot MAGIC at people. He has not cut his fingernails in years. Mostly he does not believe in his God, but cynically uses both the God's powers and his own considerable Magic skills to his own ends, which are (a) getting rich, (b) being cruel, and (c) acquiring catamites and concubines. The younger members of the Tour are not safe from him. He is particularly dangerous because he can call on two kinds of Magic and after that hundreds of fanatic soldiers and worshippers, who may pursue the Tour party for miles.

The Empire is no longer, and the Beskar has returned. When one chooses to walk the way of the Mandalore; you are both Hunter and Prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?
The Armorer, The Mandalorian
