Bio: Arnold Warlks was born in a small community on the fringes of society, he was raised very strictly by his parents to believe in God and Jesus Christ. at a young age, Arnold was taught the ways of the bible and how to not be tempted by sin. by the age of 13 he had read the bible many many times and was going to become a preacher for his community...however that would all change. That same year, his father Reverend Pierce Warlks was found dead inside his office in the church, he had overdosed on some form of drug. it was hushed and nobody was informed of his fate and the only people who knew the truth was Arnold and his mother Erin whom had sworn after her husbands death to go on a pilgrimage to the holy land to reconnect with Christ...she would never return and Arnold was left on his own...5 years later aged 18 Arnold had begun to sense the growing sin in his community, disgusted by these abominations occurring he and a few others rose up and erected the faith in the community, a curfew was put in place and all people caught outside past 9pm would be taken into custody and questioned. this sent ripples through the community with quite a few people growing rebellious and angry at Arnold's new rules, so this is when things started getting insane. Arnold after 2 years of having been in control, held a sermon and all his participants were tested...for little did they know he knew who was a sinner. he had been surveying them for the past 2 years and if they did not confess their sins...they were dealt with in a private unknown fashion (most likely executed). Now aged 42 Arnold has turned his community into a fully fledged religious cult, that runs gun running operations and does deals with rival organisations and has shady dealings with the police. with an estimated 600 or more members, the community is very wary of outsiders and will not even let you in if you are not religious. it is very clear Arnold hates Catholics and Jewish people saying "THEY BRING THE DEVIL HIMSELF! THE VERY DEVIL WE SOUGHT TO HOLD BACK INTO OUR HOMES! THIS DEVIL HAS CREPT ACROSS THE LAND BUT NOT HERE FOR WE ARE CLEANSED OF SUCH FILTH! DAMN THEM TO HELL I SAY!" the cult is known as the Manesse congregation as it is located in the community known as Manesse after is founder, Arnold's great great grandfather Manesse Warlks whom was a French immigrant who came to America to start a new life during the 1800s.

Still to this very day, Arnold has no clue what happened to his mother and attempts to find her has lead to nothing...he has concluded that either his mother got remarried and changed her name or she died...He will never know...
