Thaddeus

Father Thaddeus Praise-His-Name Godbotherer III is one of the protagonists in Mogworld. He is a extremely religious zealot and companion of Jim, the main protagonist.

History
Relatively little is known about Thaddeus's history. In his time, he was a "Seventh Day Advent Hedge Devolutionist" and a very powerful cleric, which he rarely puts to use. However, he was well known enough for Barry to do his thesis on him.

Personality
Thaddeus burns with extreme religious fervor, believing he is the most righteous and holy man of all. However, this had caused him to become extremely disillusioned; living in a state of pure denial. Upon being revived, he continually convinces himself that he is on a mission from God.

Thaddeus' hypocrisy is a running gag. He constantly (and creatively) insults Jim and Meryl for being "demon spawn" despite being undead like them while following them around. When the Deleters came to destroy Lord Dreadgrave's castle, he ran and hid whist condemning Jim and Meryl for also doing so. Despite being a reverent believer in his God, he is not afraid to switch sides when situations aren't in his favor, easily betraying his traveling partners for his own self-preservation. One of the biggest examples of this was when he attempted to overtake Barry's army in the name of his God, only to instantly defect to his side and begin worshiping Lord Si-Mon when Barry destroys his forces. Whenever Barry would try to explain something to him, he'd immediately deflect it onto Jim or Meryl, causing Barry to lose patience and tear his arms off. After this event, he became determined to aid Jim in his quest for self-deletion.

It is not known whether Thaddeus truly is delusional or if he is aware of his motivations. Meryl offers the explanation of "You know full well he well he just doesn't want to admit that we're his only friends and he's got nowhere else to go."
