The Reverend William Standfast is a senior member of the Earthen Order and a member of the original expedition from the Barrens to Skytopia. Prior to the Hidden War, Acolyte Steven was appointed as his personal attendant. Standfast is a strong believer in the divinity of Magnus, His Prophet Alcuin and the restoration of the Kingdom of Magnus. His uncompromising nature is often seen as demagoguery by those who do not share his hardline views.
