Yvangelista XI is an NPC in Arknights. He is a major supporting character in Guide Ahead, Hortus de Escapismo and The Masses' Travels, and makes a short appearance in Zwillingstürme im Herbst.
Background[edit]
Yvangelista XI, whose full title is The Guardian, Keeper, and Executor of the Most Supreme Law, His Holiness, Yvangelista XI, is the current Pope of Laterano and the spiritual head of the Lateran Church, following his election in 1063.[2] Like his predecessor, the first half of his title makes reference to his obligations and duties as a religious leader, practicing, interpreting, and governing Laterano in the name of the Law, and the last part of the title, Yvangelista, is a hereditary name inherited from one of the "first Saints" of Laterano.[3]
A firm, wise, and often open-minded man, Yvangelista previously worked as a Messenger of the Lateran Curia's Seventh Tribunal prior to his canonization. From Iberia to Leithanien, and even as far as the city-state of Athenius in Minos and Kazdel, Yvangelista traveled around Terra acting as an intermediary for many foreign affairs. During that time, he witnessed the fall of the Gaulish Empire following the Battle of the Four Emperors in 1031.[4] [5] Under his point of view, the disbandment of what once was Terra's greatest empire represents the "fall" of civilization.[6]
Yvangelista believes on the equal treatment of all Laterans alike, and he is even tolerable with fallen Sankta such as Mostima. He is also the mentor of many priests through his wisdom, one of which being Agenir who later collaborated with Signora Sicilia to bring law and order onto Siracusa.[7] Furthermore, unlike his predecessors, he holds no hostility or plans against Kazdel or the Sarkaz.[4] On the other hand, as a devoted practitioner of the Law, he thinks that nothing can change Laterano as how it is, given that all Sankta are physically bond to the Law, and therefore any change is impossible. Nevertheless, he's comprehensive with those opposing such idea, like Andoain and the Pathfinders.[8]
Pope Yvangelista has a hilarious side. He loves all known desserts, and he especially loves cactus tarts, much to Velliv's disapproval,[9] although it is said that hazelnut lollipops are supposedly the ones occupying such spot.[10] He also once took part in an arm wrestling competition held by the Basilica where he won the championship.[11]

Hortus de Escapismo[edit]
Zwillingstürme im Herbst[edit]
Following the 23rd Kaiserinenfest, Pope Yvangelista uses Executor's companion drone as a communication device to talk with Empress Lieselotte in regards of Arturia's arrest.[12]
Virtuosa: Himmelszelt und Federwolke[edit]
After Arturia's transfer to Rhodes Island, he visited her in her quarters there, much to her surprise and bewilderment. He secretly canonized her as another "Saint" aside from her cousin, a move that completely baffles her. The Pope later said he's doing this because he believes the end of the world is approaching and he'll even goes as far as to fake her name if necessary.[13]
Trivia[edit]
- Due to his appearance and his comical attitude, many in the Arknights community joke that Yvangelista XI looks like Gabe Newell or Colonel Sanders.
