'''Pope Xoniface I '''was the leader of the largest faction of [[Kragnux (Deity)|Kragnux ]]followers known as [[The Friends of Kragnux]] and inheritor of the religion from [[Thwack]], who he bested in combat and imprisoned.

== About ==
A high elf born in 621 [[PR]], Xoniface was a devout follower of [[Corellon]] living in Isonhound for nearly a century when [[The Razing of Isonhound]] led to him to look to other gods.

== History ==

=== Finding Kragnux ===
Xoniface moved to [[Zobeck]] in [[Levinkan]] in the year 700 [[PR]], seeking to get as far away from the still burning forests of [[Isonhound]]. It was there he was introduced to a small faction of [[Kragnux (Deity)|Kragnux ]]followers who helped him through his rage and fear, showing him that there was a new god who's entire goal was to put down the dragons and return peace to the realm.

By 705 [[PR]], Xoniface had risen through the ranks of the local church to lead those in [[Zobeck]] on an expedition north to the Temple of Harmony in [[Diimgard]], where the mortal [[Kragnux]] was buried. After tense talks with the marilith [[Toi'Viral]], Xoniface and his followers were allowed to exhume the body of Kragnux, and found that it had mostly composed, with the exception of [[Artifacts of Kragnux|several artifacts]], left behind with divine power.

When Xoniface returned to Zobeck with Kragnux's remains and the artifacts, followers flocked to see the reliquaries in [[Zobeck]], and soon Xoniface found himself on equal footing with [[Thwack]], the founder of the religion.

=== Rise to Power ===
In 707 [[PR]], [[Thwack]] paid Xoniface a visit at the church in [[Zobeck]] to discuss potentially moving the artifacts back to the [[Fang Fu Monastery]], where Thwack's own chapter was residing. Feeling imposed on, Xoniface argued that the artifacts had created a boom in followers, and that their rightful spot was in Zobeck. In the ensuing debate, Xoniface and Thwack broke out into a lethal battle, which ended when Xoniface knocked Thwack out and secretly paid to have him magically imprisoned.

Following the conflict, Xoniface made an announcement that [[Thwack]] had entered a religious recluse state, and that Kragnux was now delivering his commands through the [[Zobeck]] chapter.

Now the head of the entire religion, Xoniface made several controversial commands, falsely speaking as if Kragnux himself had delivered the commands. He created the [[The Fingers of Kragnux|Fingers of Kragnux]], and spearheaded a campaign to extend the ongoing [[The Second Draconic Crusades|draconic crusades]] to also eliminate the [[dragonborn]] of the realm. When long time followers of Kragnux reminded Xoniface that Kragnux as a mortal was a dragonborn, he made another controversial announcement that Kragnux was ''not ''a dragonborn, and that he was born and died a [[human]].

=== Civil War ===
Xonifaces various commands caused fracturing within the church over time, and by 719 [[PR]], the [[Zobeck]] chapter had come to be known as [[The Friends of Kragnux]], while other chapters separated themselves from the church by calling themselves [[The Heritage]] and [[The Draconic Redeemers]].

Seeking to end the blasphemous splinter cells of the church, Xoniface turned his crusaders into a war force, seeking out the nonconforming and either forcing them to forgo their blasphemous beliefs or die by the hand fist of the Friends.

=== Marriage and Death ===
In 720 [[PR]], Xoniface finally found the chance to settle down with another high elf named [[Sorventh|Skelya]]. Skelya had previously been a member of [[the Draconic Redeemers]], and when the church attempted to disband and absorb the faction, Skelya had seduced Xoniface by making him believe he inspired her, and shifted sides to help the Friends of Kragnux stop the Draconic Redeemers.

The truth, however, was that [[Sorventh|Skelya]] was a polymorphed dragon, seeking to destroy the whole dragon slaying religion from the inside. Once she was pregnant with [[Pope Felix|Xoniface's child]], she brutally murdered him.

To the followers of Kragnux, Skelya announced that Xoniface had became a religious recluse just as [[Thwack]] had before him. She announced that Xoniface's final religious command was that his newborn son [[Pope Felix|Felix]] would be the next pope of [[The Friends of Kragnux]].
