Zealot Theil

Zealot Theil is the second in command of the Zealots, under Grand Zealot Brian Richter, of the Nucleus in 2287.

Background
Theil is the highest ranking Zealot after Grand Zealot Richter, whose job is to ensure the fitness of other Zealots in their fight against the unbelievers. As zealot she is also like a policemen of the community. She comes from a family of homesteaders who tried to settle on the island years before the Fog covered most of it. She lost her family when a massive radiation storm hit the island, killing her parents and leaving her the sole survivor due to her natural radiation resistance. After wandering for days, she came to Atom's Spring and drank from its waters. Suffering a hellish vision, she was ultimately found by Grand Zealot Richter, who nursed her back to health and raised her to serve Atom. Which she does with almost blind zeal.

A friend of Sister Gwyneth, Theil was there when the sister first began to believe in heresy. Gwyneth was praying quietly, when she suddenly lept up and began to shout that Atom is a lie. Although not a violent person, when the then Grand Zealot Tektus confronted her, she struck him with such force that she knocked him to the ground. When she realized what she'd done, she fled. Tektus wanted to immediately send someone after her, to make her an example, but High Confessor Martin insisted they wait for her return for Atom's forgiveness. This wasn't to be, not long afterword blasphemous messages appeared at their holy sites. Now that the sister is committing such fervored acts of heresy she has not choice but to bring her Atom's justice: execution. This however is hampered by how clever Gwyneth is, Theil has since been unable to track her whereabouts. Her failure to both find Gwyneth and Gwyneth's heresy eat away at her constantly, Thiel has been praying to Atom for Gwyneth's return to the family. Should Sister Gwyneth return to the family Thiel will be very grateful.
