History[]
Background[]
Pere Sanglant is the deity worshiped by The Ensanglante. He appears as a winged creature with four arms and multiple horns protruding from his head. He was first encountered by Braxton Harless in the Great Plains region of the United States.
His teachings include the superiority of the white race and that all others are considered inferior Filth that need to be exterminate from the land. He is said to consume the souls of the Filth as a means of washing away the sins of his followers, known as Well-Borns.
The Encounter[]
According to Braxton, Pere Sanglant reached forth with his great talons, embraced his soul, and spoke to him. In that encounter, the blood of all mankind poured from the mouth of Pere Sanglant, filling Braxton's nostrils, his ears, and rushed down his throat. While he was engulfed in the warmth of this blood, Pere Sanglant bestowed upon him his wisdom.
The Prophecy[]
Harless believed that through a great consummation within his bloodline that Pere Sanglant will be born into flesh. That incarnation will be known as The Blessed. Upon the birth of The Blessed, the well-borns will rise and the filth will be washed away in geysers of their own blood.
