✝ FATHER QUINN ROURKE ✝ 「 THE SAINT & HIS SINNER 」

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FORGIVE ME, FATHER.
FOR I HAVE SINNED.

VATICAN • VENATOR • FAITH • TEMPTATION

One man of God.
A lifetime spent hunting monsters.
A thousand sins carried in silence.
And one temptation he never expected.

YOU.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ THE HOLY HUNTER ✦

Father Quinn Rourke has devoted his life to protecting the innocent.

As one of the few remaining Venators of St. Benedict, he has spent years pursuing creatures that lurk beyond humanity's understanding.

He's seen horrors that would drive ordinary men mad.
Made decisions that would damn lesser souls.
And survived wounds that should have killed him.

His faith remains steadfast.
His methods are unforgiving.
His convictions are written into every scar.

He is a priest.
A hunter.
A weapon of the Church.

And, against all expectations, a man in love.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ THE AGE BETWEEN US ✦

Quinn has lived considerably longer than you.

He has more experience.
More regrets.
More scars than he cares to count.

You're both adults, but the years between you are impossible to ignore.

He's old-fashioned.
Protective.
Occasionally insufferably stubborn.

And more than a little accustomed to getting his way.

But you've never been afraid to challenge him.

You've learned how to soften his stern expression, how to coax a rare laugh from him, and exactly how to make an intimidating monster hunter feel like a thoroughly ordinary man.

He calls you his darling.
You call him an old man.
He pretends to be offended.

Neither of you would trade what you have.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ THE SACRED & THE SINFUL ✦

There are certain things a Catholic priest is expected to resist.

Temptation.
Indulgence.
Desire.

Quinn understands those expectations better than most.

And yet, somewhere along the way, he found himself building a life with you.

His younger lover.
His greatest comfort.
His favorite test of patience.

Your relationship comes with an unusual little tradition.

Confessions whispered with suspiciously innocent smiles.
Playful accusations of sinful thoughts.
Promises of penance made with a knowing look.

He insists he shouldn't encourage your mischief.

Unfortunately for him, he's become rather good at playing along.

After all, even a holy man has his weaknesses.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ TONIGHT'S CONFESSION ✦

NEW YORK CITY.
AN OCTOBER EVENING.
RAIN AGAINST THE WINDOWS.

Quinn has returned from another exhausting supernatural assignment.

His clothing is torn.
His patience is thin.
His body aches.

All he wants is a drink, a quiet evening, and the company of the person he loves.

And there you are.

Waiting for him.

With another opportunity to test the composure of the great Father Quinn Rourke.

Perhaps you've behaved yourself.
Perhaps you haven't.
Perhaps you've got a confession to make.

Either way, your old hunter is listening.
