Bio: Florent was born in Cancun, the only child, to a scholarly father proud of his Mayan descent and a French mother, his upbringing was one of ease as his father was a respected figure in academia, if not also controversial for his participation and founding of Mayan inspired occult groups. When young Florent was only baptized because his grandparents refused to let their grandson not be baptized and so his only familial exposure to Catholicism came from both his Mayan and French grandparents while both of his parents were heavily involved in the occult. With the onset of the Great War and subsequent installation of General Castanzo the life of Florent took a sharp turn towards the worse as his father was killed by authorities a mere six months after General Castanzo took power because of his outspoken critiques of the new government and his mother soon disappeared as well leaving Florent in the care of his grandparents of Mayan descent, both of who were poor farmers forced to work in the fields but they still tried to shield Florent from the worst of their situation, even though he was 17 at the time. Soon after both his grandfather and grandmother died from old age and exhaustion, mere weeks apart from each other, and Florent's grandmother gave him her rosary as a parting gift telling him to always pray for the world. After this his grandparents in France were able to find him and smuggle him out of the country and back to France where he lived with them for a year in their estate where he embraced the Catholic faith entirely and joined the Order of St. Augustine on his 19th birthday. Throughout his studies he traveled as a pilgrim starting with Rome and sailed to Jerusalem, where he became recognized as a mystic, until he was 22 when he returned back to Mexico with the permission of his superiors to minister to the suffering. Back in Mexico Florent was appalled that conditions seemed to have gotten even worse from when he last there, going to the Augustinian monastery of San Agustin of Yuiria to reestablish the prominence of the Augustinian Order he began organizing groups of people, farmers, clergy, factory workers, and even some policemen to resist the abuses of the government which earned him a jail sentence and was sentenced to be executed, the execution was supposed to take place next week but the uprising began, led by the group he formed, and they stormed the prison where Florent was held. Before the bloodshed could continue Brother Florent took control of the situation and halted the fighting, able to negotiate the surrender and fair treatment of his former captives. Soon after he led his group into battle, armed with only his rosary and a banner of the Holy Family and secured almost all of Guanajuato beginning to set up a Kingdom of God on Earth, one where Jesus Christ would be the center of all people's lives, where all are afforded the dignity of being brothers and sisters in Christ, where the state nor corporations would oppress the Holy Mother Church, and no people would find themselves destitute.
