This is it, you see. This is the means whereby God will shatter the Papist Antichristian power structure, throw the Pope's puppet Archangel from his post as Commander of the Host, and manifest fully on Earth as an embodied, immediate ruler of the living world, enforcing His will upon the infinitesimal specks of His Creation. The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is His Vessel, as surely as this body is Shun's. First, though, we must break free of foreign influences: the Church must be moved to declare the CPCA's believers in schism, true heretics, and its followers exhorted to abandon the (un)Holy See as any moral guide. Shun realized himself that in order to more closely bind the CPCA to its corporeal manifestations, he himself had to disavow his Demon Prince, despite the risk to his own skin, in order to devote himself completely to the People's authority. This he did, spitting in one of Malphas' eyes, shattering his Heart and daring the Game to come after him.

To his astonishment, they didn't. Malphas examined Shun's work -- ministering secretly to the underground Chinese Church, encouraging them to see themselves as true Catholics and to hate the followers of the CPCA, propagandizing among his legal followers to regard underground Catholics as agents of a foreign power -- and decided that, for the moment, the demon continues to serves Malphas quite well. The Habbalite's delusion of independence spurs his activities, and as long as he is fomenting tensions Malphas is quite willing to ask the Game to let him work. Eventually, there will probably be some sort of resolution to the matter, at which point Malphas intends to let the Game collect Shun and have some torturers explain a few things about having loyalty to human governments, but that will be in the future.

As might be surmised from this history, Shun is considerably more strong-willed than smart. He is fairly bright -- nobody survives this game for very long without being able to juggle identities and move smoothly from one line of snake-oil to another -- but by far more supernaturally capable than strategically foresighted.

(As an unrepentant demon priest who maintains his associations with the CPCA, Shun is formally excommunicate in the Catholic hierarchy and his sacraments are invalid for supernatural purposes that require them, such as Khalid's Rites of Faith Attunement.)

Shun has -55 points in Disadvantages once the reduced value of Renegade is taken into account. He is otherwise a balanced, 100-point GURPS starting character.

(For some reason, that part makes me giggle hysterically.)
