“Learn to embrace pain as your closest friend, for pain is the most instructive force in the universe. Break yourself until you can exist no longer as an individual, then remake yourself into the Master's tool. That is the solution to all of your problems.”

Father Lasher or "Lasher of the Children" (a double entendre) is a member of the Children of the Cathedral operating in the northwestern part of the chapel in 2161.

Background

He is a short-tempered, nasty individual. His role is as a disciplinarian and has a reputation for implementing a curriculum of violence upon his students in the name of self-improvement. He wields a cattle prod and believes that complacence impedes evolution, thus his technique.
