Character:Gregorio Catalano

Reverend Gregorio Catalano was an Italian-American preacher in the state of New York during the 1830's, 1840's and 1850's. He saved an 8 year old girl from a runaway horse carriage, pushing her aside but falling under the hooves and wheels. The resultant injuries killed him within 24 hours of the event.

Post-Resurrection
Reverend Catalano joined the Threefold Abrahamic Society shortly after his resurrection. The organization encouraged a pursuit of the truth by promoting clergymen who could find ways to redefine their faith while learning new information that might threaten confirmation bias of their Abrahamic faith. He quickly took to studying other religions, and how they came to the conclusions that they did, to determine what Christianity might have gotten wrong.

Starting quick didn't mean finishing quick, and Gregorio spent 140 years before he truly understood some of the things he had learned of. His attention to accuracy and detail was greatly admired in the TAS, especially with his refusal to be promoted until he had truly mastered what he was reading.

A few months into the 12th Millennium NHE, he began searching for the truth about Jesus. Since the former Jewish preacher was hidden from the world under a false identity, Gregorio instead turned to literature again in an attempt to understand who the prophet really was. His search was hampered by the discovery that there were no contemporary records of Joshua of Nazareth having ever displayed supernatural abilities in the Old Real, however, he adapted his beliefs to the new information well, rather than allowing confirmation bias to shroud the evidence against divinity.
