Bearlord Posted November 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) BOGOMIL II Background Pre-Embrace Born as Gavrail Mikhaylov in Tarnovo, Bulgaria. His father was a rather wealthy merchant. The young boy experienced visions and vivid dreams at an early age which made his parents bring him to the local church where they left him because they thought he was possessed. The priests and monks disagreed whether he actually was possessed by the devil or if he was a divine medium seeing important omens and portents sent by God and the angels. They brought him to a rural monastery for observation for several years. It was here the teenager first heard about the priest Bogomil who had lived and preached in the region a few hundred years earlier. He also had a strong vision where he met a mysterious stranger who would open up a new world to him. This man turned up at the monastery when Gavrail was 21 years old and his name was Mortamis of Serras. The man presented himself as a monk and persuaded the abbot to let Gavrail join him. Post-Embrace Gavrail traveled with the older man for a while and learned that he was not a living man at all. He agreed willingly to be Embraced and during that process, he saw himself being reborn as the prophet Bogomil, taking that name. Bogomil preached the dualist teachings of his earlier namesake and developed them with his own oracular visions and skewed beliefs. He managed to gather a following and found a strong believer in his cause in Iliya Vanchev, a landed Bulgarian nobleman and knight. Personality Bogomil has always managed to affect people in a positive way. His parents were an early exception as they were afraid of his expressions of visions that were far too vivid for a young boy. He rarely laughs and has a stern face most of the time but it helps build trust and sincerity. People usually listen when he speaks. He openly criticizes the Church and believes humans (and Kindred for that matter) don't need churches and symbols to show their faith. The bodies are temple enough and the souls are the only tools they need to care about. Sins need to be punished. Touchstones Bogomil's main concern in the mortal world is his followers.
