Dark Pontifex

""The Void chooses one of its followers, known as the Dark Pontifex. They are the envoy of the Void to the mortal world, the eyes and ears of the Void. I am the current Dark Pontifex. When I die, another will take my place. This is how it always was, how it always will be. This position is sacred and I will not sully its name.""

- Scaram The Dark Pontifex is the leader of the Void Cult and the person with the closest connection to the Void.

Role
The Dark Pontifex is the most important member of the Void Cult and the leader of all of their major ceremonies. The Dark Pontifex is not chosen by vote, instead, when the current Dark Pontifex dies all the members of the Void Cult participate in a ritual where the Void chooses their successor. A Dark Pontifex is allowed to choose a Dark Bishop to act as their second in command. All members of the Void Cult are under the command of the Dark Pontifex. Scaram has described the role as being akin to the role of a king. The Void does not choose them based on age or experience, as according to Scaram once there was a baby who was made Dark Pontifex.
