Cardinal Josef Celestin, who's over the Cathars (Special Services, black ops & wet work) and the Lamplighters (intelligence gathering & analysis) is the son of a war hero, Jean-Baptiste Celestin, who organized and led the Free Haitian Militia during the American Civil War. Josef was sent to Oxford after his father joined with Jean Lafitte and captured New Orleans from the Confederacy. He's shown his father's talents for logistics, politics, and leadership, plus magical ability. #amwriting
