Intro:
It was a devastating war. The alliance against rebels. Some people believed uniting the nation's was the right thing to do. Putting everyone under one law. Under one ruler. But the rebels were against it. They wanted independence. And World War 3 broke out. For a time it seemed the Rebels would win this war... until the Alliance called upon the Catholic Church for guidance.
The church was all for Alliance. They believed putting everyone under the same religion was the best way to bring the world toward redemption. And so, they formed a group, which they called The Holy Elite. A group of priests vowed to protect the Catholic Church and now the Alliance. Their contribution toward this war caused the Rebels to surrender and the Alliance to take over. The world was at peace... but at what cost? The freedom of everyone involved?
The Catholic Church was now in charge. Anyone who would disobey the church would be punished for their sin. And the Holy Elite was now in charge of punishing the sinners. Or, more likely, "getting rid" of sinners.
But one man of the Holy Elite was conflicted. He himself was a "sinner". He could not help it. It wasn't like he could just stop being what he was. It wasn't his fault he liked men. He had been that way for as long as he could remember. And he had to hide it. If he didn't then he would himself be "punished".
He was conflicted every time he had to punish a sinner knowing he himself was a sinner. He felt horrified and hypocritical every time he pulled the trigger or swing his knife.
Brian Haner, code named Synyster Gates, wasn't sure how long he could keep up the charade. This facade. How long could he keep it hidden before someone would catch on?
It wasn't easy. And meeting him definitely did not help him any...
