His wily silver-green hair was styled back into a slick ponytail and he was dressed in professor garbs commonly found at Oakswood. This new look was truly unsettling to the High Priest who had known this sneaky, unruly bastard since he was a young boy that had been abandoned on the church's doorstep.
