Michael Scarborough

This is the main character of The Lord's Legacy © during the end times. Michael is Hebrew for "Who is like God?" and Scarborough is Old Norse for "Fortress," emphasizing his role as protector of Christian refugees. His given Latin title is Optivus, which means "Chosen," as he was the long-anticipated chosen Great Monarch once prophesied by St. Malachy.

This piece is a bit more representational than the last one. Michael holds the holy sword Excalibur in one hand and a shepherd's crook in the other while standing in front of a church doorway. This signifies the dual responsibility of gathering the flock of believers and defending it from Satan's forces. The halo around his head is also purely expressing that he has seen God with his own eyes and spoken to Him directly. The bronze doors of the church are etched with the famous painting "The Archangel Michael" by Guido Reni, in which the Archangel strikes down Satan as it is prophesied. This alludes to the idea that Michael Scarborough may be more than he appears.

The face model for this one was actor James McAvoy.
