First Act 46: The Sun 3

Bishop Austin, a character shrouded in mystery with limited descriptions in the novels, was best defined by a few impactful lines. 

One such instance involved him choking Tristan after discovering his relationship with Louise. 

The Bishop's irritation with Tristan for being too close to Elena, coupled with his overall inability to tolerate Tristan's presence, painted a vivid picture of an overly protective and strict father figure.

Throughout the novel, Bishop Austin emerged as a significant obstacle hindering the blossoming romance between Elena and Tristan. 

His fierce devotion to his beloved daughter drove him to take drastic measures, creating tension and conflict within their unfolding love story.

In the six volumes of the novel that I've read, Tristan's revelation as a hero candidate did little to ease the Bishop's animosity.
