High Priest	comment	A character (or several) that leads the religious group that this character would belong to. These characters can be either good or evil, depending on whether the religion in question is a Saintly Church or Religion of Evil, respectively. It can be a bit more iffy in a Corrupt Church, since the character may be a Clueless Boss who does not know of its corruption or may be working to root it out. The High Priest usually resides in a Vatican-style Holy City, especially if the church worships an Abrahamic-analogue God. A common variation is for the characters to be Priest Kings, who lead their people both spiritually and physically. This is particularly common if they lead a theocracy. Expect Rank Scales with Asskicking to be in full effect in fantasy fiction, especially if Religion is Magic. The Pope is the Trope Codifier, hence why many High Priests reside in Vatican-style cities, worship Abrahamic-analogue Gods, and borrow Catholic aesthetics. Compare the God-Emperor, who usually leads and is worshiped by the religion in question. There is a good chance he will carry a Staff or Hat of Authority. If the High Priest is also the leader of the government, you've likely got The Theocracy. For a priest who's another kind of high, see Junkie Prophet.

High Priest / int_1215a23d	comment	In Genshin Impact, sages are the highest ranking in the Sumuru Akademiya, with the grand sage presumably being the first among equals. So when Nahida calls the Traveler "the First Sage of Buer", she is declaring them as the Dendro Archon's highest-ranking subordinate. The title is just a formality as the Traveler doesn't actually stay around to take care of her rituals and customs.

Before the founding of the Chantry, the Tevinter Imperium worshipped seven draconic figures known as the Old Gods. Each of the Old Gods had their own high priest, called the Sidereal Magisters. The seven Sidereal Magisters are, according to legend, responsible for corrupting the Golden City and unleashing the Blight on the world.

High Priest / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Rausten is a theocracy founded by the All Loving Heroine Latona, and whose King or Queen tends to be known as its Pontifex. During the events of the game their Crown Princess, L'Arachel, becomes a member of the cast; her uncle/Parental Substitute and the current Pontifex, Mansel the Divine Emperor, later helps out the group itself after they rescue him. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the Apostle is said to be able to speak to the Goddess Ashera, making her both Ashera's high priestess and the Empress of Begnion. The offices were accidentally separated when the current Apostle was nearly killed along (Micaiah) with her predecessor (her grandmother) and the Apostle's younger sister (Sanaki) was installed as a puppet empress. Micaiah herself would later reign over another land while Sanaki, who managed to get actual power with the help of the cast, stayed on the Begnion throne. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the Church of Seiros is led by Archbishop Rhea, who turns out to be Seiros herself. Byleth becomes the new Archbishop at the end of the Silver Snow and Azure Moon routes.

As "First Under the Night," she has immense authority over the drow and becomes the most powerful Night-wielder of them all, but is also charged with turning the mass of warring gangs the drow have devolved into back into a functional nation, and keeping Sve Noc themselves from going mad with power.

Since champions of deities take orders from their deities themselves, they seem to generally hold a similar position of authority. Who takes orders from whom seems to depend on which deity & their followers you are looking at, since a deity could easily just tell their champion to do what their high priest says and vice versa. Most champions seem to default to doing what the high priest says if their deity hasnâ€™t given them anything to do in particular though.

High Priest / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Hughnon Ridcully is the High Priest of the Ankh-Morpork clergy, of the sort that regards actual religious-ness as one of those tiresome things that you just have to put up with when what you really want to concentrate on is getting the pews organised. In Small Gods, Deacon Vorbis of the Omnian church plots to take over the Omnian High Priest post (The Cenobiarch) and usher in a new age of religious terror. One of the effects of the Prophet Brutha's revelation on the Omnian church was to abolish the Cenobiarch and ("let there be a thousand voices") start a long train of schisms, meaning Omnians stopped running around ruling an empire of grandeur and oppression and the suppression of science and got busy arguing theology all the time and became harmless and handed out a lot of pamphlets. Which is a tad problematic if you look at some of the awful shit Protestants have pulled in the last four hundred years, but the Disc can be like that. The horribly beweaponed Divine Legions also mutated after the Brutha reforms, to a residual organisation devoted to spreading the Word through the formation of brass bands and community hymn singing, armed with weapons no more formidable than tambourines and aggressively shaken collection boxes. The Omnian in the Ankh-Morpork Watch (we never learn his exact denomination) is actually named Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets. They call him Visit. Of course, given Brutha achieved his great transformation from stupid youth to politically savvy prophet largely due to absorbing an Expy of the Great Library of Alexandria before it was burnt down, there may be rather sound theological reasons for those pamphlets. Although Visit was invented before Brutha. In Pyramids, the main antagonist is High Priest Dios. Although the previous examples of Discworld high priests aren't evil, according to Pyramids, high priests have a general tendency to be evil. "There is no such thing as a good Grand Vizier. A predilection to cackle and plot must be part of the job spec. High Priests are much the same way. No sooner than they get the funny hat they start giving orders about feeding babies to the sacred crocodiles and throwing virgins into volcanoes." Dios himself, however, is not evil so much as he's Lawful Neutral to the extreme, so utterly focused on tradition and routine that he domineers and overrules every pharaoh and effectively keeps the country quagmired into stasis all by himself.

High Priest / int_46a4b34d	comment	In The Elenium series by David Eddings, the main religion of the Eosian continent is run by a whole council of High Priests — some good, some evil — called patriarchs. They are roughly analogous to the cardinals of the Catholic church, with a Popelike leader called the Archprelate. And while the Church of Chyrellos serves as a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of the Roman Catholic Church, their counterpart in Astel serves as one for the Eastern Orthodox Churches, except they have only one leader called the Archimandrite While it only comes up in the second trilogy, the Younger Gods of the Styrics each have their own High Priest or Priestess, all one thousand of them forming the governing body for all Styrics. Their exact selection criteria are unknown, but in the case of Aphrael she takes a direct hand in their selection. In the first trilogy Otha, King of Zemoch also serves as High Priest of the Azash, one of the Styric Elder Gods. The High Priest of Cyrgon also serves as a minor antagonist in the second trilogy.

This doesn't give him as much power or authority as you'd imagine; the God of the Dead is actually a lesser deity in the Aztec pantheon, and in fact Acatl was practically disowned by his family for taking up the priesthood instead of the more "honorable" profession of a warrior.

A truer high priest is the Archpriest of the Flame, the kingdom's god, and to a lesser extent the Archpriests of the other three Aspects.

High priests, whether fat and ugly or thin and unpleasant, will always be evil and corrupt. As a general rule, they do not actually believe in their god, but instead use their position and influence over worshippers to become wealthy, get away with petty cruelty, and acquire catamites and concubines. High priestesses, who will always be either stern, serious and thin or good-looking and cheerfully helpful, will always be good.

The ultra-conservative "Old Faith" faction denounces hierarchy of any kind, with its only official leadership beyond the local level being a general assembly of representatives from each congregation. However, in Essos at least, Septon Deryk has enough authority and influence to act as first among equals in said assembly. The fundamentalist faction that's partly responsible for the Upper Mander Rebellion is led by Septon Ryman, who is unquestionably viewed as their ultimate authority short of the gods themselves. Following his death and subsequent diaspora of his followers, however, they seem to be currently lacking central leadership.

High Priest / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls After defeating the Ayleids and founding the First Cyrodiilic Empire, St. Alessia upheld her end of the Bargain with Heaven by making the religion of the Eight Divines (which worships the eight Aedra who aided her during the Alessian Revolt) into the official religion of her new Empire. This new religion was a compromise between the traditional Aldmeri pantheon (which her Cyrodiilic followers, as slaves to the Ayleids, were accustomed to) and the Nordic Pantheon of her Nord allies, who refused to accept any "Elven" gods. Thousands of years later, through several Empires, the religion of the Eight (later Nine) Divines continues to serve as a Saintly Church to much of Tamriel. The Dunmeri (Dark Elf) Tribunal Temple was formed to worship the Tribunal, a trio of living flesh and blood gods. The Tribunal (Vivec, Almalexia, Sotha Sil) were the formerly mortal advisors to Lord Nerevar, the leader of the ancient (then known as Chimer) Dunmer people, who obtained godhood by tapping into the power of the Heart of a "dead" god. For thousands of years, the Tribunal lived and worked among their people. However, they still had "Archcanons" responsible for running the more practical business of leading the Temple. A few centuries prior to the events of Morrowind, the Tribunal's ancient enemy, Dagoth Ur (long presumed to be dead), returned and ambushed the Tribunal on one of their annual pilgrimages to restore their divinity at the Heart. He managed to capture two of the three tools needed to tap into the Heart, depriving the Tribunal of the ability to recharge. After this, in order to conserve power, the Tribunal was forced to withdraw from the day-to-day affairs of their people. More and more responsibility fell onto the Archcanons and other mortal leaders of the Temple, leading to significant corruption. During Morrowind itself, it is possible for the Player Character to become the new Archcanon of the Temple.

Although the previous examples of Discworld high priests aren't evil, according to Pyramids, high priests have a general tendency to be evil. "There is no such thing as a good Grand Vizier. A predilection to cackle and plot must be part of the job spec. High Priests are much the same way. No sooner than they get the funny hat they start giving orders about feeding babies to the sacred crocodiles and throwing virgins into volcanoes." Dios himself, however, is not evil so much as he's Lawful Neutral to the extreme, so utterly focused on tradition and routine that he domineers and overrules every pharaoh and effectively keeps the country quagmired into stasis all by himself.

High Priest / int_a5549ed0	comment	In The Bible, Israel went through a period of being ruled by "Judges" like Samuel. God was actually very displeased when the Jews asked for a regular king. The actual office of High Priest and its duties in Ancient Israel are described, including the vestments to be worn and the proper way of butchering a sacrifice. The office was hereditary and dominated by the line of Aaron, Moses' brother, and of the Tribe of Levi. This fell out of joint a bit after the Babylonian Exile and while the office was restored by the returnees, it was destroyed along with a large amount of the Jewish religious hierarchy during the Jewish Revolts. There hasn't been a High Priest since then. The rabbinical class to some degree took the place of the priesthood, but rabbis can't do sacrifices, one reason that modern Jews don't sacrifice anymore (the other is that there is no Temple). There are, however, many Jews who are hereditary priests—the last names Cohen, Kahn, Kahane, Kane, Katz, and others all come from the Hebrew word kohen, or priest, and signify priestly families—and they do still have some special religious duties, such as giving blessings to the congregation on holidays. There is no high priest, or kohen gadol, because the method for selecting the high priest (there were different selection methods in the first and second Temples) became defunct when the Temple was destroyed. One famous example from the Book of Genesis was Melchizedek, a Canaanite priest-king who gave Abraham and Sarah some food and blessed them. He is also noted for acknowledging the Abrahamic God, although it is not clear whether Melchizedek was a monotheist or merely worshipped God as part of a larger pantheon. Book of Exodus has Aaron, as mentioned above. Then there's Jesus himself, who is both king of all creation, and intercedes between humans and God the Father in the manner of the high priest (including performing a rather famous sacrifice.) It was prophesied (in the Old Testament Psalm 110) that the Messiah would be "a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek". The Book of Hebrews goes into some detail on what this means.

Although Hermione just thinks of herself as a standard priestess at most, this becomes more than a title when she unintentionally wins Fleur Delacour over to the idea of worshipping Loki, their subsequent joint ritual affirming Hermione as the High Priestess of worship to Loki with Fleur as her first true acolyte.

High Priest / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Aeron Greyjoy seems to be the top Priest of the Drowned God faith. In the books, the Drowned Men who serve as priests in their religion actually don't have any ruling hierarchy â€” theoretically, all of the priests are equal and any priest can ordain another man as a priest if he is worthy. They don't have an equivalent to the High Septon in the Faith of the Seven. In practice, of course, Drowned Priests who have been serving the longest and successfully revived the most initiates in drowning ceremonies are respected much more than others, and often in every generation or so there will be one Drowned Priest that all of the others look up to for guidance. Aeron is universally respected by the others â€” on the level of an Old Testament style prophet â€” and thus he is their unofficial leader, first among equals, etc. It also probably doesn't hurt that he's a scion of the Iron Islands' ruling House of Greyjoy.

High Priest / int_cb6abea3	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has a couple of late arcs in which we start to learn who exactly our main character is and why he inhabits a puzzle, and it turns out that Seto Kaiba, an early antagonist who edged toward Noble Demon since his second return from Put on a Bus defeat, though he never quite accepted that Defeat Means Friendship, is the reincarnation of the the High Priest who served under the Puzzle Spirit three thousand years agonote in some lost period of New Kingdom history, apparently, unless you follow another translation and make it five thousand, which makes him the Scorpion King or something and doesn't agree with the architecture, and apparently only betrayed him because of Mind Control from his own dead father, the previous High Priest and the previous Pharaoh's younger twin brother. Who made the magic gold jewelry by burning Bakura's family alive.

High Priest / int_d6423831	comment	In John Carter of Mars the title of "Holy Hekkador" basically means "Priest King" among the Therns. During the time of the novels, it's held by Matai Shang, very much a villain.

High Priest / int_d716d915	comment	Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto features not one, not two, but three future popes (the third is Giovanni de'Medici, who would later become Leo X). The story is about a teenaged Cesare Borgia in college with Giovanni, against the backdrop of the death of Pope Innocent VIII, and the coming papal conclave on which the fate of Italy hangs. Of course, Cesare's father Rodrigo wins... for the moment.

The two accepted means of gaining this position are direct appointment by Jade herself, or earning it by ritual trial; the Fourth Himinion took the title via covert assassination, which got him killed and replaced almost instantly by Jade.

High Priest / int_ec9155b1	comment	In Small Gods, Deacon Vorbis of the Omnian church plots to take over the Omnian High Priest post (The Cenobiarch) and usher in a new age of religious terror. One of the effects of the Prophet Brutha's revelation on the Omnian church was to abolish the Cenobiarch and ("let there be a thousand voices") start a long train of schisms, meaning Omnians stopped running around ruling an empire of grandeur and oppression and the suppression of science and got busy arguing theology all the time and became harmless and handed out a lot of pamphlets. Which is a tad problematic if you look at some of the awful shit Protestants have pulled in the last four hundred years, but the Disc can be like that.

The offices were accidentally separated when the current Apostle was nearly killed along (Micaiah) with her predecessor (her grandmother) and the Apostle's younger sister (Sanaki) was installed as a puppet empress. Micaiah herself would later reign over another land while Sanaki, who managed to get actual power with the help of the cast, stayed on the Begnion throne.
