Iman / 伊曼

Iman is the Orthodox Church’s chief priest (2000021): physically frail, exceptionally charismatic and wise, publicly devout, privately defined by the question of whether pain reveals divine truth or merely creates an emptiness that faith cannot fill.

His canonical line is Iman Three-Section Storyline. The raw graph keeps its prayer, church-leadership, and chosen-light sections separate; this page binds them as one character continuity without pretending they form one uninterrupted path.

Recruitment is not a generic favor threshold. It comes through surviving the prayer/trial section and resolving 在茉莉花香中…… (5004518). Death, schism, promotion, destiny bond, or execution remain visible to church branches and ending narration.
