The Bishops Of The Old Faith

LESHY (the youngest sibling): He is a Bishop of the Old Faith, the ruler of Darkwood and the Deity of Chaos.

Leshy is shown to be an arrogant individual, clearly thinking high of himself and his power. He also can be quite mocking.

Much like the other Bishops, he doesn't seem to care too much about his followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for him and accidentally killing many others during his transformation.

He despises The One Who Waits, but seeing how he calls him "dear brother" as a follower, it's implied that he still has some care for him despite everything.

Sometime in the past, Leshy found his crown among camellia flowers in Darkwood. Bargaining with the Mystic Seller and helped by his siblings, he was able to become a god.

Alongside his siblings, Leshy ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith. When his brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, he and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Leshy's eyes being wounded.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Leshy and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands to prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return. However, killing the last lamb has them end up directly to The One Who Waits, who revives them and grants them incredible powers.

Leshy eventually decides to directly face the Lamb after he has some of his cultists sacrifice themselves to empower himself. Despite this, he beats the lamb.

Leshy is a herbivore, and only eats plants, because of how he ate a flower. He has a small case of ADD, because of how hes easily distracted by a butterfly.

Leshy resembles a bagworm larva with a round head covered in thick green leaves. Several thin black branches protrude from either side of his head like horns. His eye had been gouged out by The One Who Waits, thus the socket is covered by a set of thick, bloodstained bandages wrapped around his head. Black ichor can be seen oozing out from beneath the bandages. Like the other bishops, Leshy wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body, during his transformation, however, we are able to see two black, tuft covered legs. His crown bears two sharp points and a green, diamond-shaped eye.

HEKET (the second youngest): Heket has almost two different personalities depending on who she's addressing, for others, she's mean and merciless. For her siblings, she is respectful and kind, unless she's aggravated.

Heket is female and uses she/her pronouns.

Heket comes off as the Bishop who is the most directly hostile towards the Lamb, continuously insulting them and being the first Bishop to directly act against their followers. The fact that people sacrificed to Heket also go through a fate worse than death (as in, fused with giant mushrooms, still alive) seems to imply that's she overall the most cruel of the Bishops.

Much like the other Bishops, she doesn't seem to care too much about her followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for her and accidentally killing many others during her transformation. She does however care for her siblings, being furious when Leshy is killed and not wanting to bother Shamura too much due to their head injury.

She despises The One Who Waits for his treachery.

As a follower of the Lamb, Heket is barely able to speak at all, but she seems to have maintained at least some of her disliking for the Lamb.

Sometime in the past, Heket bargained with the Mystic Seller and became a goddess.

Alongside her siblings, Heket ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. When her brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, she and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Heket's throat being slit.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Heket and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands to prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return. However, killing the last lamb has them end up directly to The One Who Waits, who revives them and grants them incredible powers.

When the Lamb enters Darkwood, Heket and Kallamar are eventually warned of this by Leshy. Heket decides to not bother Shamura about this and orders Leshy to deal with the Lamb. Leshy however ends up being killed, much to Heket's anger, who casts famine upon the Lamb's followers before she and Kallamar ask advice to Shamura, who however isn't of much help due to their damaged brain.

Heket is a red toad with four eyes that have black sclera and red, cross-shaped pupils. She has several cross-like protrusions sticking out from her head, and she wears a three-pointed crown with a yellow, upside-down triangular eye. Like the other Bishops, Heket wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of her body. What appear to be two black hands can be seen emerging from her robe, holding it closed. Her throat is wrapped in bandages, as it was slit by The One Who Waits, with some of the bandaging hanging down her back like a scarf.

KALLAMAR (the second oldest): While first acting arrogant, Kallamar is soon revealed to actually be the most cowardly among the Bishops, being the one to fear The One Who Waits the most and begging the Lamb to spare his life, going as far as putting all the blame on the other Bishops and begging the Lamb to kill Shamura instead of him.

Kallamar is male and uses he/him pronouns.

Much like the other Bishops, he doesn't seem to care too much about his followers, being ready to have them sacrifice themselves for him and accidentally killing many others during his transformation.

As a follower, he is arguably the most amicable Bishop since, unlike Leshy and Heket (and, to some extent, The One Who Waits), he doesn't complain at all nor shows any hostility towards the Lamb (which is likely due to him being a coward and thus preferring to join the Lamb rather than going against them). That being said, he does show some slight arrogance, acting as if he still is an important person and considering his temple to be the most good-looking one.

Sometime in he past, Kallamar bargained with the Mystic Seller and became a god.

Alongside his siblings, Kallamar ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. When his brother Narinder grew ambitious and power-hungry, he and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Kallamar's ears to be wounded.

When Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) started sending vessels against them, Leshy and the others killed them one by one (except for Ratau, who was unsuccessful in his task) and killed all the lambs in the Lands to prevent a prophecy foretelling The One Who Waits' return. However, killing the last lamb has them end up directly to The One Who Waits, who revives them and grants them incredible powers.

Kallamar appears to be a cyan squid with a split open mouth filled with rows of teeth. His eyes have black sclera with red slits for pupils, and he appears to have a scar running across the skin surrounding his left eye. There are two pairs of cross-like protrusions appearing from his head, and he wears a cone-shaped crown that has a blue, circular eye. Both of his ears have been scarred by The One Who Waits and are covered by bandages. Like the other bishops, Kallamar wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body. His body appears more lumpy underneath his robes compared to the other bishops, possibly being hidden tentacles.

SHAMURA (the oldest): While Shamura is ready to have their followers or others sacrificed and is just as responsible for the genocide the Lamb's kind and the tyranny of the Old Faith as the other Bishops, they surprisingly come out as the nicest among their siblings, sympathizing with the Lamb various times during their interactions with them. They're also the only Bishop who's shown to still care for The One Who Waits and the only one to express regret for having chained him away. They're also the only Bishop who has made peace with the fact that the Lamb is going to kill them, although that doesn't stop them from fighting before going down. As an undead, they also seem to accept their fate as punishment for their actions.

Shamura is non binary, they/them prononuns.

Shamura was once the wisest among their siblings, but after The One Who Waits damaged their head, they lost most of their knowledge. Due to this, they now mostly speak through weird prophecies, sometimes even repeating themselves due to short-term memory.

As a follower, their memory gets even worse than before. It's also worth mentioning that upon being recruited, they will immediately start dissenting, which makes sense given they used to be the Deity of War.

Sometime in the past, Shamura found their crown in one of their webs and began bargaining with the Mystic Seller and became a deity (although, as said by the Mystic Seller themselves, the two of them didn't barter much since Shamura ultimately needed little from the Mystic Seller).

Alongside their siblings, Shamura ruled over the Lands of the Old Faith as one of the last remaining gods. At some point, they introduced the ideas of change to their brother Narinder. Due to this and him growing discontent with his role and ambitious, Shamura and the other Bishops sealed him away, which resulted in Shamura's head to be wounded.

At some point, they sacrificed two kits so that Narinder (now known as The One Who Waits) wouldn't be alone.

"Five becomes four becomes three becomes two becomes one becomes nothing." A sentence often repeated by Shamura.

Shamura is a purple spider with four eyes of black sclera and red slit pupils, as well as two large fangs appearing from their mouth. Two pairs of cross-like protrusions emanate from their head, and they wear a crown with a concave top and a purple, crescent-shaped eye. Shamura's skull was split by The One Who Waits and is wrapped in bandages, covering their exposed brain. When they lose their bandages, their crown appears to be reaching into their brain, using vein-like apparatuses. Like the other bishops, Shamura wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that hides the rest of their body.
