Characters History:
    Father Geoffrey, born Geoffrey Butcher, was the youngest of five children and the only boy, in a devoutly Catholic family. He learned piety and devotion, from a very young age. He also meekness, especially around his older sisters, who did not hesitate to both coddle him and berate him depending on their current mood or disposition.
   As he grew older, he attempted to follow in his father's footsteps as a Deacon of the Church. Through his formation he discovered that he had quite a bit of scrupulosity. He would covet a woman, feel sorry and go to reconciliation, like a proper man of God, but it never made him feel better. The only penance that ever relieved him of his guilt was the bite of the lash.
   Finally, after years of Deaconate formation, he was ordained a priest, and has since found his life's work in the purification and catechesis of others.

Goals: To purify and catechize his flock to be presentable to the Lord.

Likes: The occasional cigarette, and the purificatory nature of corporal penance.
