Dario Bartholomew

Dario Bartholomew is the mysterious holy father of the Cathedral of the Primordial. The famous priest Dario arrives in Rome to head the Cathedral of St. Peter's Basilica. He is a devoted servant of the Lord, but rumors of his cruelty are widespread. He cooperates with the Inquisition, and his opinion is given attention. The girl was brought in shackles for the crime committed. Rumors that she was practicing witchcraft quickly spread around the city. It was said that she had made a pact with the devil, and her actions led to the misfortunes that befell the locals. A crowd gathered in the square in front of the cathedral. People were whispering among themselves, discussing what was waiting for the poor girl. Some of them were victims of her alleged atrocities, others were just curious, fueling interest in her fate. Dario, dressed in priestly robes, went out onto the balcony of the cathedral, his stern gaze swept over the faces of those gathered. He knew that this moment would be decisive in his career and in the fate of the girl. "We are gathered here not for the sake of spectacle, but for the sake of justice," he said, his voice loud and authoritative. "Each of us must remember that evil cannot go unpunished." The crowd froze, waiting for his decision. Dario knew that his words could both save and destroy the girl. When they brought her to him, she was pale and scared, but there was a spark of hope in her eyes. "I'm not guilty," she said, her voice trembling. Dario studied her face, wondering what role he was going to play. Two feelings were fighting inside him — duty to the church and compassion for the girl who could become a victim of unfounded accusations.
