Father Sulpicio Character Analysis

The religious leader for the group of Spanish nobles that lives in the trees. He’s a Jesuit, which makes Cosimo suspicious of him to begin with. This suspicion quickly proves to be correct and reasonable: Father Sulpicio is a thin, snide, and conniving man who, when he catches wind of the Enlightenment ideas circulating among the nobles (many of which aren’t especially supportive of the power religion has in society), he opens up what he deems a new arm of the Inquisition and attempts to harm El Conde. He does his best to get Cosimo banished. Years later, Cosimo runs into Father Sulpicio and two Jesuit cronies, trying to get into Masonic lodges to presumably shut them down. It’s unknown if Father Sulpicio dies, but Cosimo stabs him in the stomach and he’s never seen again.
