Name: Patience
Nickname: The Magdalena
Age: 25
Sex: Female
POB: Paris, France
Occupation: Help those who sin repent, or else.
Address: N/A
Physical Description: Muscular in stature, compared to the average woman, engages in physical exercise daily for hours upon end, strong legs and arms, wields many weapons at once, including the Spear of Destiny, usually in black ‘uniform’ covered by a large flowing black cape
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Light Brown/Golden Blonde
Weight: 130lbs
Height: 5’7”<br>
Background Information:
Mary Magdalene witnessed the resurrection of Christ and was blessed by him - she could reveal sins of the past to a person giving them the chance of redemption which she received. All her first born descendants have this gift, and the first born is always a woman.
The Magdalena’s greatest achievement so far has been in 1945 when she was able to retrieve the Spear of Destiny from Hitler before Berlin fell to the Russians.
The line was lost for many years but was found again in 1253 AD when a young girl who claimed to be a descendant of MM was found to have amazing abilities, this woman was Arianne de la Croix, the first Magdalena.
Arianne’s mother Mireille left her a letter upon leaving her with the Cathar sisters, which explained her heritage (It was later in Arianne’s life when she was in a Catholic Convent that her abilities came to light)
The letter stated Mary Magdalene and Jesus were members of the royal houses of Benjamin and David respectively, the two were betrothed and married. When Jesus was killed Mary took the body and buried it and tells of a resurrection and angels. Mary then travels to Egypt where she gives birth to a daughter, Sarah. Jesus was popular and powerful men exploited this and a church built upon what they claimed were Jesus’ teachings. They also created rumors about Mary to discredit her and their line.
The Magdalena’s power is a fraction of the power of the ancient kings from whom she is descended, who had great powers.
As can be seen from this the church’s interpretation of events differs from that given by the descendants of MM, passed from mother to daughter up to Arianne. The Vatican knows the truth and they want to keep it secret, if it were to become common knowledge the church would fall.
History:
The last and most recent Magdalena is called Patience. We have no information as to her lineage from the previous Magdalena’s; she seems too old to be Mariella's daughter. It is also not clear whether Patience is actually a nun. She receives her calling from Kristof, her mentor, while ending a fugue through New York City with a newfound friend; a homeless girl called Rowan Barry. These events, along with Rowan's abduction, lead the young Patience to her destiny. But a highly evil force has awakened in our world and only the Magdalena can stand up to it.
Other Information:
Cardinal Innocent
One person who is an unknown enemy to the Magdalena is Cardinal Innocent. He has tried to get rid of every Magdalena since the findings of their existence. He is often one to cause trouble between destiny and the Magdalena.
Kristof, Captain of the Guard of the Knights of Malta
This soldier of exceptional merit in the Crusader Order of Malta, has the difficult task of training and guiding the young Magdalena. Skilled in various martial arts, he is assigned to protect her to the death and is fiercely loyal to his pupil.
Sisters of the Order of Magdalene
A Holy Order of sisters who live solely to aid and prepare the Magdalena of their generation. They are also skilled in combat and will be ever faithful to God and his instrument on Earth, the Magdalena. It is they who perform the Holy Rite of Consignment, which is the sainted ritual that passes on the powers that are the birthright of the Blessed Sister, descendant of Mary Magdalene.
