The confessor first gained notoriety in the Agrippa Sector prior to the battle at Regional Pump Station CSD-119. Disturbing grafitti found on the New Huron pipieline led to his arrest, trial, and disgrace. Demoted and ridiculed, Alvarez appeared to lose all interest in his calling. He held a series of minor postings -the end of each marked by misfortune and failure- until an Ecclesiarchical court ordered penance through arco-flagellation. Renumbered following the abortive crusade to the Ghazateer, he is currently serving in the retinue of Missionary William Rugg.
