Question Gen2's spiritual leaders

I'm behind in my Whateley reading. Is Englund still around for Gen2, has he been replaced? if he was replaced what is the noob's attitude?

IDTWIKA 6:

Standing to the side of [the door], in full regalia, was the priest. He was small, under average height and thin. His brown hair was beginning to both gray at the sides and run away from top of his head, and his body seemed gnarled like a stunted oak. A broad smile lit up his face, however.

"Ah, another new face, good morning, and how do you do?"

Tia recognized that accent, faint as it was. The good father was Italian.

"Good morning, Father, I'm well. I'm Tia Del Bosque, How are you?" She managed to stifle the embarrassing yawn, but only just.

The Father grinned anyway. "Father Verraco, pleased to meet you, Miss Del Bosque. The early hour claims another victim, eh? Wouldn't do to have you fall asleep during Mass, though heavens know you might be joining the crowd of your peers there."

Tia and Tanya are probably the most devout of the POV characters.

Well, Englund WAS getting on in years in Gen1... AND he also was managing to squander whatever good will people had towards him... so, I consider that any of these has a high likelihood of happening in the nine years between Gen1 and Gen2:

1. His age finally caught up with him and he had to retire.
2. He fucked up one time too many and became Persona Non Grata at Whateley.
3. His luck ran out, and he died facing some Eldritch Abomination. Maybe he made an Heroic Sacrifice(tm) in the final battle against Nimbus and the Bastard.

Fixed that.

He was born in 1920, and didn't seem to have slowed aging of a high level regen or exemplar.

Considering the oath Rev. Englund made to Kodiak during their meeting, I suspect that his headstone is dated 2008.
I'd even wager that it won't be Eldritch, Nimbus, or the Bastard that ends him.

Ok, I know my memory isn't what it once was, but what was that oath or which story?

From The Kodiak Conspiracy (Chapter 1) :

“You will not approach or recruit Nikki Reiley into this, Wyatt Cody. Moreover you will do everything in your power to see that she neither learns of it nor takes any part of it. If I hear of so much as an idle whisper of imagination of her becoming a part of this, I will undo you and every one of your followers!” he thundered...

...“I will not debate this with you, Spirit, and I will not live through another Vessel of Aunghadhail's death! The price of my compliance is Nikki Reiley will have no part of this and it is final.”

It could be simple foreshadowing, as he's by no means a spring chicken, but rash words nonetheless for a man with many enemies.

Isn't he off the hook from that proclamation? Aung is dead, but Nikki is alive and well in 2016. The "vessel" is alive, even if the elven tyrant queen herself is not.

Personally, I'd be more worried about Kerry instead. She's "part" of the catholic church now, at least in their eyes. The connection isn't broken as far as we know, even if she's gained some independence.

Well if you're going there, what about Paige Donner's twin sister!? Or is it Paige who is acting as a messenger between planes above and planes below? One or the other has been co-opted by some Catholic organization, if I recall the stories correctly.

Petra is allied to the Vatican, and is one of their warriors, but they are kinda both in that unfortunate limbo of " where is my writer?"...

hmm, well I guess I scrap the part where Diar gets offended by the prick and torments his ass the was Sara wanted to.

I guess my next question is do we know what happened to the goobers come 2nd gen?

Yeah I saw that I believe we have seen Dr Bender here, but Renae is MIA. So, will Dr Bender write more Merry and Petra, or does (s)he need to have Renae to help her?

Renae popped up ten months ago:

Renae Intro

No idea if she's still writing anything, I do know she's had a lot of health stuff to deal with...

Merry and Petra are Renae's characters. Generally speaking, Renae is the one who may do any thing... consequential with them. But they might -- and have -- appeared in small roles in other authors' stories. Since Sara has a strong connection to them, she is likely to visit both when/if she returns from Tyvek limbo.
