Palamedes Alecto

Palamedes Alecto was the founder of the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun and before that a minister of the United God Movement. Born in 2299 A.D., he was adopted into the noble house of House Lionheart in 2314 A.D. His fascination with the Cult of the Allspark along with his adherence to many traditions of the United God Movement caused him to found the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun in 2349 A.D., which rapidly gained adherents among the nobles and citizens of the Earth Alliance. By 2351 A.D., Alecto's new religion became the state religion of the Alliance. Alecto himself personally created the Church's Holy Synod and was unanimously elected the first Church Patriarch. He helped organize the Regular Priesthood and the monastic order of the Hesychasts, though the Brother Battle order of warrrior monks was a later development. He died in 2377 A.D. of old age on a missionary and diplomatic trip in Hutt Space.
