The Veron cults Deacons form the council for Hephtus the leader of the cult. The Deacons spread the religious word to mutant communities gathering supporters as they travel. They are also part of the more sinister plot to capture what the cult considers pure humans. These humans will then be sacrificed by Hephtus himself upon the cults sacred Altar, in the belief that their souls will have a part to play in the cleansing of their mutant blight. |
