Copia & Perpetua – '92

Spring 1992, Stockholm, Sweden. The Clergy

• The United Clergy of Ghost, commonly known as The Clergy
• Satanic ministry worshiping the Devil
• Exact inverse of Catholic Church
• 'Grucifix': inverted cross with embedded 'G'; primary symbol for the Clergy; worn by members to show loyalty and devotion to the faith
• Nuns/monks called Sister/Brother of Sin; non-binary/genderfluid called Sibling of Sin
• Head of the Clergy: Sister Imperator
• Papa (Anti-Pope): Spiritual figurehead; chosen from a sacred bloodline; position presently vacant (since early 70s); last Papa was Papa Nihil before he was forced to abdicate
• Regional congregations typically lead by a Cardinal of the Clergy
• Period of sede vacante following decades without a Papa
• Ghost: Music group serving as the public missionary arm of the Clergy, spreading unholy message via 'rituals' (concerts) at venues worldwide; currently on hiatus during sede vacante period
• The Ministry: Clergy HQ (Administration, residential building, center of global operations); Gothic-Renaissance building located in secluded valley near Linköping, surrounded by dense forest Necrofilth
• Old-school death metal band; formed 1989 by Perpetua and Ola as a tribute band to Morbid, joined by Jonas; quickly moved on to write their own songs
• Line-up: Perpetua (vox + guitar; emotionally dependent on validation from Ola); Ola (bass; charismatic leader figure; pushes the band forward); Jonas (drums; stabilizing presence; mediator between personalities) Important Background Info
• Sister Imperator and Nihil were romantically involved in the late 60s (during Nihil's termn as Papa); separated in 1970 due to his unfaithfulness
• Sister Imperator found out she was pregnant with twins; hid the pregnancy from Nihil and gave birth to fraternal twins Copia and Perpetua in secret
• Copia and Perpetua were separated right after birth; existence was covered up by Sister Imperator
• Copia was brought up as an orphan within the Clergy by Marika Psaltarian; Marika and Sister Imperator are the only ones aware of Copia's lineage
• Perpetua somehow ended up as an orphan in the Swedish foster care system; his entire existence was hidden away from the Clergy; only Sister Imperator knows of his existence
• To this day, neither Copia nor Perpetua are aware of having a twin brother; Perpetua is completely unaware of the Clergy's existence
• Both Copia and Perpetua unconsciously yearn for the brotherly bond/twin connection that they were denied due to being separated after birth
• Both Copia and Perpetua are starved for emotional connection and belonging; craving to be truly known
