Szerafin is the Imperial Apostolic Presbyter of the Imperial East. Szerafin is the first Salgói to hold the position of Apostolic Presbyter. Szerafin was also instrumental with the completion of the Reliquary of Ámos I. During the Noble Revolution, Szerafin was present alongside the three other Apostolic Presbyter of the Empire and the Lakottial Déak as a neutral unaligned faction.
As a young child, Szerafin was born in Salgó within the Imperial Central and was determined to be raised as a officer. His family was a minor military family that had served since the Hódítók Disunity in the Proto-Imperial Era. His father had determined to train him to serve in the Salgói Imperial Regiment. When he was sent to Mezőföld to attain his secondary education, he had began attending religious services at the Mezőföld Cathedral. He abandoned his prospect of entering military service and began a religious career under the watch of Sapieha.
During his time after his ordination by Sapieha, he began his studies in a self-exile to Kisigmánd in the Imperial East under Oleś. His work with Oleś brought him into religious conflict with the Bystríki Order, which was undergoing a migration to the Imperial West. He began what he considered his life's work, the Archives of Sapieha, which was met with overall jubilation by the Eastern Erdős and Rédicsi nobility.
Szerafin's theological works focused on the Book of Conquest, where he focused on the relationship between the Apostle of Religion & Nature and the Apostle of War & Conquest, where the Apostle of Religion & Nature is sent letters of forgiveness from the Apostle of War & Conquest for injustices that were committed between the two. Szerafin revealed that his interpretation had viewed that men who, even blinded by war and stricken with rage, are able to recognize the injustices that are committed among one another.
Background
Apostolic Presbyter
Szerafin was appointed the Apostolic Presbyter of the Imperial East by Déak Bernát after his establishment of the Archives in conjunction with several Imperial noble families in the east, most notably the Erdősi House of Velencei.
Theology
Szerafin's theological thought mainly focuses on developing the specific written relationships between the Hódítók Apostle of War and Conquest. He guided his principal interpretations of the Writings of War and the Book of Conquest with Sapieha and Oleś. Szerafin often rejected the interpretations of others that the Book of Conquest was written to be literal, but rather to appeal to the rational conscience of the other six apostles.
