Archbishop Benedictus

Archbishop Benedictus is a boss and quest giver located in the Cathedral of Light in Cathedral Square, in the human city of Stormwind. He starts the quest Alliance 15 [42] Bring the Light (Dungeon).

History

The current archbishop is a middle-aged man named Jarl, though following Church tradition he gave up his birth name when he was elected to this high position, and adopted a new, holy name.

In his youth, he was the younger son of a wealthy Lordaeron merchant, Jarl was raised to join the family business. He found religion instead, discovering the Holy Light after meeting an old traveler one night and almost dying when a pack of mercenaries attacked them both. After recovering, Jarl petitioned to join the Church, and was accepted immediately. The kindly Jarl was the student of Lordaeron's religious leader, Archbishop Alonsus Faol. Jarl spent many years learning from his pious master. He rose quickly to the rank of senior priest, and had charge of a large town in Lordaeron when the scourge appeared. Jarl did his best to evacuate his parishoners and then joined joined them in their flight to Azeroth. The church settled him in a town there, but soon promoted him to Stormwind City instead. While there, he helped the Church of Light construct its most striking monument: the Cathedral of Light in StormwindHe. He was being considered for promotion to bishop when the archbishop Faol died, and council chose to elevate him to archbishop instead. The newly named, Benedictus took charge of the Church and swore to continue the good work his mentor had begun so many years before.

Benedictus is a soft-spoken man of average height and stocky build who looks more like a farmer than a religious leader. He still hates the Scourge for destroying his homeland, and has vowed to direct the Church to destroying that threat forever. Despite his quiet ways Jarl is surprisingly adept at politics, at least avoiding confrontation and at forming alliances, and he has managed to keep the three bishops in check since his elevation.Template:Cite
