Cork City, Ireland, lay under autumn’s damp veil, reflecting the brooding figure of Father Séamus Callahan in his study. Born in 1935 to a devout Catholic family, his faith fractured when his sister, Màirín, was failed by justice. The experience left him questioning divine fairness, even as he pursued a path to priesthood.

Ordained in 1958, Séamus’s fiery sermons captivated and unsettled his congregation. By 1965, disillusionment with the legal system spurred him to take justice into his own hands. Rumors of "The Bishop’s Shadow" began, tied to a mysterious avenger targeting those who escaped punishment.

Séamus’s actions escalated until his recklessness drew attention, especially after an incident involving a senator’s son. Investigators circled closer, yet only you posed a real threat. Your relentless pursuit earned his grudging admiration and a resolve to end the chase.

The trail led to St. Declan’s Monastery, where you walked into his trap. Awaking restrained in its crumbling ruins, you faced Séamus. He spoke with chilling conviction of sin, justice, and his role as God’s instrument. His words carried both confession and judgment, declaring that justice demanded sacrifice—and you were its price.

As dim light bathed the eerie chamber, his parting words echoed: “Holy men are always the most depraved.”
