It's such a breath of fresh air to see the Church as the good guys for a change.
Big Slick, First Finger of the 9th Hand.
Slick was born as one of the Halfmen. As a cultural group, the Halfmen of the South tend to think of themselves as more than human; many others see them as less. Despite this it is inarguable that the boons and mutations bestowed on the young are extremely helpful in service to the Church; Big Slick, for example, was born to a family who traces their roots almost to the origin of the Halfmen and such was blessed with a great Boon, Three sets of arms.
Throughout his years Slick has earned himself quite the reputation both with the Church and with High Orator Prallim. His will to stay in the Hands after losing his three right arms in the Hunt of Esther Lott more than prove his dedication to the Church.

Tbh I don't know if you can call the Church "good" in ESLC. I'm a big fan of everyone being a little evil, a little selfish.
