Liberatus

Jacob Liberatus is an historian from Eldham, and the second most important figure in the religion of Essentism. Primarily known for his journey in Hell where he wrote the Codex Infernakh (Demon secrets), and documenting the teachings and revelations of Prophet Yeshariel and creating the Codex Verelirion (revelations), which is an English transcription and translation of the divine scriptures the All-maker revealed to Prophet Yeshariel through the mouth of arch angel Gizondael. As Yeshariel entered a period of exile, Jacob Liberatus played a pivotal role in ensuring the continuity of his teachings, recording them and distributing them across various regions.

The revelation/Codex Verelirion
As the primary custodian of Yeshariel's teachings, he bore the responsibility of translating the celestial wisdom into tangible script. With much dedication, he crafted the illuminated verses of the Codex, weaving together ethereal revelations into a tangible testament. Learning the Angaelic language posed an immense challenge for Jacob. Its celestial symbols held profound meanings, transcending earthly conventions. Absence of standard structures and punctuation defied linguistic norms.

Liberatus authored several works across a range of subjects. Some of his most cited texts include "Dog King of Rathnir," "Book of Love," "The Divine Source," and the two-part "Seek I" and "Seek II." These writings are indicative of his interests in both historical events and philosophical introspection.

His professional pursuits extended beyond Eldham. Liberatus traveled to multiple realms, recording their distinct cultures, histories, and events. His records from these travels provide valuable insights into the societal and cultural dynamics of these regions during his time.

Religion
Originally, Liberatus was a follower of the Astrapologi faith. However, after his encounter with Yeshariel, he converted to Essentism and subsequently became an apostle of Yeshariel. This shift is evident in some of his later works, where references to Essentism and its teachings become more pronounced.

His hell Journey / Codex Infernach
To prove his faith in the all-creator, resilience, and commitment Yeshariel set forth a test that would shake the very core of Liberatus's being. Yeshariel commanded Liberatus to journey into Hell, the realm of chaos, torment, and deception. This was not just a journey of distance but one of endurance and faith. Liberatus would need to spend one entire year in Hell, navigating its treacherous terrains, confronting its demons, collecting ores and artifacts and resisting its many temptations. Only by emerging unscathed, with his faith intact, would he be deemed worthy. Throughout his journey, he encountered various demons, many of whom were considered deities in Eldham and other realms. They came in different forms – some tried to seduce him, others to frighten him, and a few to deceive him. Yet, each encounter was a lesson and a test of his resolve. In the revered Codex Infernach, the tales of Jacob Liberatus's encounters and trials in Hell are very well documented. Jacob wrote of an encounter with a demon called Fankt Chwonki in a city named Grul’gael, in which the demon attempted to convince Jacob to betray Yeshariel and teach him Angaelic. The dialogue between Fankt and Jacob documented in the Codex Infernach, revealed the name 'fankt Chwonki' was a playful creation of the demon himself, having rearranged "Think of Wank" into (an anagram) "Fankt Chwonki" to jest at his own worshipers who call upon his name during prayer. This is also where he learned that Fankt collaborated with an upper demon Jorm (who goes by the name Grizagel) in a scheme to dismantle Rodinnbrok from its core, a mission they successfully accomplished. Within the Codex Infernach, In response to Liberatus's question about the fall of Rodinbrokk, Fankt laughed dismissively. Treating Rodinbrokk as just another "funny joke", he suggested it was merely one of many cities he'd sacked and nonchalantly revealed its downfall's details. divulging the details of Rodinbrokk, Fankt chuckled about how he had them worship under a funny name, mocking their naivety. He then nonchalantly shared the specifics of the city's downfall, treating it as just another "prank" in his long list of conquests.
