The man behind the Longa Manus project.

Charged with administrative duties for the Monastery since 1985, Sabatini has worked to modernize the Order's structure. The idea of a group of "friendlies" acting on a "need to know" basis is just one of the modernizations he introduced. Others include microfiching of books, electronic security and decentralized Order houses.

Description: heavy-set, rough featured (think French actor Jean Gabin).

"An old, healthy peasant dressed as a priest, with the mind of Cardinal Mazzarino and the manners of a grocerer" (major Raviola)

"A profoundly good man, kind and easy-going, but with too many preoccupations for the good of his health. Did you notice the liver spots on his hands?" (sister Claire)


 

black dot Sister Claire Chavagnac

Age 35. Lay nun and researcher for the Università La Cattolica - Rome, member of CESNUR (Center for the Study of New Religions).

Father Santucci's (see Emerald hammer for further details) pet student from way back. Working in Longa Manus since 1992 (has been granted a research fund for a work on modern spurious spirituality and gets pointed in the right direction when needed). Teamed up with Major Raviola since 1994.

Not enough Mythos experience to understand it as a single structure.

"An idealist dreaming in technicolor." (major Raviola)

"She's our diamond. Sharp, sparkling, flawless but fragile." (father Sabatini)


black dot major (cashiered) Roberto Raviola

Age 46. Former Cavalry officer turned "independent operator" in 1985. Officially retired in 1991 suffering a severe case of burnout after service in Eastern Africa; placed on a Vatican-funded retainer as driver by father Sabatini.

The army rank is possibly a pose. Employed as sister Claire escort and driver.

Brisk, disrespectful and cynical, he is probably running through all this out of curiosity. Started out thinking that Sabatini was "a Richelieu wannabe", but a few of the things he's seen in the last few years are forcing him to reconsider.
