The Unexpected One

The High Septon, known informally as The Unexpected One owing to the peculiar circumstances that marked his ascent to the position, is the current head of the Baelorian branch of the Faith of the Seven. Elected in the 10th Moon of 407 AC following the suicide of the previous High Septon (impolitely referred to as The Spineless One), little is known about his life beforehand, though most agree he spent most of his days as a begging brother, making him a stark departure from the High Septons preceding him.

Appearance and Character
No one can say that Arthur doesn't look his age. A life on the road, with whatever meager provisions his flock could provide him, saw to that. It lends a certain mystique to him: long, white hair and a wizened face frame eyes alive with fire when he speaks on matters of justice, or of faith.
