Revision 1

Theophanes V is the Pope of the Chronos Order, the most prominent religious organization on Setera. He belongs to House Khalitan, the family that patronizes the Order, and is the grandfather of Gaiana, the Order's current Saint. As Pope, he sits atop a well-established hierarchical structure and offers spiritual guidance to Setera's people during the Void crisis.

Position and authority

The numeral "V" in his name indicates a hereditary line of leadership within House Khalitan. Theophanes is the fifth to bear the name, confirming that his family has held the papacy across multiple generations. This dynastic element adds a political dimension to the Order beyond its purely spiritual role. House Khalitan's patronage of the Chronos Order gives the family outsized influence over both religious doctrine and the Order's material resources.

Relationship with Gaiana

Theophanes V is Gaiana's grandfather. Gaiana's role as the Order's saint, with her gift of prophecy and charitable work, brings prestige to House Khalitan. Whether Theophanes's position elevated Gaiana's or whether Gaiana's prophetic abilities elevated the entire family line is unclear. The relationship between religious authority and family dynasty within the Chronos Order is a potential source of political intrigue in the game's narrative.

Role in the story

Theophanes V's specific story role has not been fully detailed. As a leader within the Chronos Order and grandfather to its most prominent spiritual figure, he likely plays a part in the Order's response to the Void crisis. His position at the intersection of religious authority and family legacy may place him at the center of political decisions about how the Order supports or conflicts with the Frontier's military efforts.
