Reverend John



Reverend John is the supposed father of Israphel and lost his son to a creeper attack. He lived in Terrorvale in a house on a hill and owned a church called St. Creeper's, where he preached the Word of Notch before he joined the Cult of Israphel.

Background
Few things are known of the Reverend. If John is indeed Israphel's father, then it makes more sense for him to cover up his son's death and worship him as a god. It is unknown whether John may have always been involved in the occult, or his son's death drove him over to it.

However, it could be possible Israphel hypnotised Reverend John to divert Honeydew and Xephos while he set up his castle and the tunnel to their nether portal.

Plot
John is first seen in Part 22 of Season 1, when Simon and Lewis discovered Terrorvale and are introduced to him by Old Peculier. He later asks the pair to retrieve a bible from his old abandoned house, where his son (later revealed to be Israphel ) died in a creeper attack, expecting them to die. When they returned, puzzled because there was no bible in the house, he attacked them, and Simon and Lewis were forced to kill him.

Upon death, he dropped a golden sword, and a full inventory worth of books, meaning he had the bible all along.

John returned in Part 11 of Season 3, as an undead member of the Cult of Israphel, living in the abandoned castle next to Mistral City. He once again attacked the pair, and was slain once more, this time dropping a piece of Karpath's Map.
