Biography[]
Not much is known about the Confessional Priest's early life. At some unspecified point of his life, he became a priest due his devotion to the Bible and his Christian beliefs. The charge given to him by the Church of England was to serve as a confessional priest at the island of Saint Martin to ask criminals if they wanted to confess their sins before their imminent deaths.[1]
As the supposed witch Carina Smyth was to be executed, the Confessional Priest asked her if she had anything to confess before she died. Carina confessed that she was not a witch, that she had survived on her own with nothing but a diary from her father, and that while they were talking she had picked the lock of the door to her jail cell. Before the Confessional Priest could say anything, Carina burst open the door, knocking him over.[1] His further fate is unknown.
