Hierophant

A hierophant was the person who brought the religious congregants into the presence of the holy, or whatever they felt was holy, according to Bernice Summerfield.

It was a term from Ancient Greece — a contraction of taheiri, "the holy" and phani, "to show". On Zordin, they became active after the Great Leader was destroyed. (AUDIO: Private Enemy No. 1 [+]Loading...["Private Enemy No. 1 (audio story)"])
