Church Universal and Triumphant (CUT)
- Sethaz: Prophet of the CUT at the time of Sunrise Lands. Sethaz is a vicious man who is known to enjoy violence and death. He sees himself as the “Scourge of God” sent to rid the Earth of those who have sinned. He experiences strange visions, for example knowing his father had died even though he was miles away from him, and like Juniper may or may not use magic. He fears Rudi and seeks to kill him before he completes his quest. Some characters believe he is being influenced by a dark power.
- Joseph Kuttner: High Seeker of the CUT. Kuttner is a personal agent of Sethaz and once infiltrated the government of Iowa so as to get them to send him on Ingolf’s expedition to the eastern death zones. Kuttner lost his eye to a vengeful Ingolf. He was later tasked to track down Rudi and kill him, but was killed himself.
- Major Graber: Officer in the Sword of the Prophet, the elite of CUT. Originally he was an orphan who was raised by CUT to be a soldier. He is tasked by Sethaz after the fall of Twin Falls to track down and kill Rudi. Though a firm believer in his faith he sometimes expresses doubts about the role of the High Seekers and is bothered by the fact that Rudi did not kill him when he had the chance.

Famous quotes containing the words church, universal and/or triumphant:
“The church is precisely that against which Jesus preachedand against which he taught his disciples to fight.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“If a man has been his mothers undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it.”
—Sigmund Freud (18561939)
