((This story is VERY graphic, readers discretion is advised.))
Raymond was not originally from here, coming from out of the United State,. his native homeland being in the depths of the Black Forest in an enclosed part of South-West Germany. His parents grew up Orthodox, and he followed in their footsteps later on in life, knowing how proud this made the two of them. Raymond was an only child with the exception of farm life outside, not having an opportunity to really socialize with people his age in important growth stages during his youth. This of course affected how Raymond thought or acted, making him sort of socially absent.
When he was 17, he wanted nothing more than to spread the word of something he loved in a big place, and his parents knew exactly what to do, sending him to a Christian Academy for soon-to-be pastors and reverends. Learning English was a breeze for him as well, and the nuns were very kind. Years after study, volunteer work, and companionship filled with trust, Raymond earned the title of being a Bishop at his very own Ministry. However, that is a very fabricated and false explanation of the story, as most of that did not happen.
Raymond was home-schooled, yet he was mostly taught essentials instead of proper school topics, filling that void with the history of Orthodox Christian staples and whatnot, yet this was all a facade, because it had been known that Father Raymond was one to roll the devils' dice. He wanted to spread the word, his word that is.
