Gur Sevraq or The Friend is the leader of The Church of the Resin Heart, and a reported miracle worker. Although he grew up as part of The Mysteries Metronomica, Gur Sevraq was given a vision by Perennial that lead them to the service of the True Divine. They stole the Divine Future from Stel Columnar, and so gained a startling prescience and the ability to imagine futures unconfined by the hegemonic and imperialist world around him.

His ability to work miracles is granted by the True Divine, and is only available when the Portcullis Gates open and strengthen their connection.

Appearance

A spider-like humanoid synthetic, with big mandibles and six eyes resembling angle brackets (if each were made of three dots) pointing towards one another, like the Lacuna rpg cover art of a cartoonish spider in a hat.

On their first appearance, they wear long cloaks and robes layered over one another in natural colours (tans, khakis, browns, and very light pale sand tones), with splashes of teals and oranges from individual cloth or sewn-in ribbons, so that "as they move around, different layers show and move, and there's almost something hypnotising". Their similarly-coloured low turban, ringed by an orange ribbon, covers the very top of his head.[1]

On his second appearance, he is wearing different fabrics, now in very saturated blues, silvers and whites that somehow still give the impression of warmth.[2]

Affiliations

Along with their Church and many pilgrims from both Progressive and Received Asterism (including the Song), he set out to walk The Prophet's Path on the 1000 year anniversary of Logos Kantel doing the same. The ambush during this journey led to him being held as a somewhat-willing captive by their former escorts, The Rapid Evening. It was during this time that they first communicated telepathically with Valence, shortly before the True Divine's attention turned to Partizan and they were instructed to assemble the Exemplar.

When the Rapid Evening took Fort Icebreaker, he assisted in hiding it from the eyes of Stel Kesh and Stel Apostolos, and when Millennium Break formed he used it as an opportunity to spread the message of revolution, but did not run in the elections.

Quotes

This is a message to you who listens. You must trust me, because we are friends: you just don't know it yet. The Divine Principality offers you progress. But Imperial futures are only ever stolen presents. I offer you more: I offer you actualization.

My name is Gur Sevraq, and I have stolen the future.

Ech0 & Dusk to Midnight (Opening Narration)

We are driven by this one understanding: that history looms, not the way an ominous shadow casts over the land, but like a machine that weaves. It pulls threads together alike and not, according to pattern, material, and process. And as it stands, the Divine Principality will weave this age, this so-called Perfect Millennium, forever.

And so here is our outrageous idea, slipping from incoherence into necessity: we will work the loom of history ourselves. We will set the pattern, pull the cloth, slide the shuttle, and bring together each of our different threads into something that to look at it once complete is to see something so essential it is hard to imagine the world before it. A future unlike the past, a yet unnamed tomorrow. Together we will break this millennium.
