      Even though he was famous for his skills as a bounty hunter and saboteur, few knew that gentleman spy Montague Moniqual was a loyal agent of the Church of Revenance.  As a Minister of the Church, it was his duty to infiltrate the Galaxy at large to sow the seeds of expansion.  At the age of 45, he would meet a wayward young dragon who still adjusting to his newfound life as a hunter, someone who was on a quest to find himself.  He sensed the neophyte's disillusionment with mainstream society as well as his strong faith and desire for the truth.  Wynfrith Gionachbalg would soon become his greatest apprentice, and one of the most feared figures in the Galaxy. 

      Montague became like a second father to the Pyrodox, balancing his firm training with charisma and supportive nature. For six years he taught the young dragon the finer points of espionage, combat, and military strategy while introducing him to the Church.  When Pyrodox had become a competent minister in his own right, Montague answered the call of duty by going on a mission to the obscure reaches of space to spread the Church's interests.  

      It was a poignant separation for the two, as Montague would be gone for an unknown period of time. When he had finally returned, Pyrodox had developed his skill and notoriety to match and arguably exceed that of his mentor over the course of 27 years.  In the mere two years that had passed for Montague, he fell in love with a kind-hearted, if somewhat ditzy, young rattlesnake named Monique Hochet.  They married during the journey and returned bearing something that Pyrodox, on some level, had always wanted: a baby sister. 

      Pyrodox instantly took a shine to the infant, but unfortunately Sorova would never come to know her parents, as they had died together on a seemingly safe mission, and she was placed under the direct care of the Cenobites.  In spite of his usually solitary nature, Pyrodox remained a doting brother to Sorova, teaching her much about the fond memories he had Montague.  

       Montague was a charismatic and friendly man who was very well-cultured.  While no singer, he was an avid follower of the opera, something which inspired Sorova to excel at.  She may have lacked his cunning, but she was also determined to follow in his footsteps as a combatant, which she surpassed him on.  In many ways, however, she is so much more like her mother.  His patience as a mentor contributes to Pydrox's ambivalence toward Zucca Xerfantes, who reminds the dragon more of Montague than he cares to admit.
