'''Archbishop Benedictus''' (formerly '''Jarl''', surname unknown) is the leader of the [[Church of the Holy Light]] based out of [[Cathedral of Light]] in the city of Stormwind.

==History==
 
[[File:BenedictusWCS.jpg|thumb|left|Archbishop Benedictus]]
 
The current archbishop is a middle-aged man named Jarl, though following Church tradition he gave up his birth name when he was elected to this high position, and adopted a new, holy name.

[83] {{ClassIcon|Death Knight}} {{RaceIcon|Human|Male}} Dknvd
In his youth, he was the younger son of a wealthy Lordaeron merchant, and was raised to join the family business. He found religion instead, discovering the [[Holy Light]] after meeting an old traveler one night and almost dying when a pack of mercenaries attacked them both. After recovering, Jarl petitioned to join the Church, and was accepted immediately. The kindly Jarl was the student of [[Lordaeron]]'s religious leader, Archbishop [[Alonsus Faol]]. Jarl spent many years learning from his pious master. He rose quickly to the rank of senior priest, and had charge of a large town in Lordaeron when the Scourge appeared. Jarl did his best to evacuate his parishioners and then joined them in their flight to Azeroth. The Church settled him in a town there, but soon promoted him to Stormwind City instead. While there, he helped the Church of Light construct its most striking monument: the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind. He was being considered for promotion to bishop when Archbishop Faol died, and the council chose to elevate him to archbishop instead.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]], pg. 153-4</ref> The newly named Benedictus took charge of the Church and swore to continue the good work his mentor had begun so many years before.

== Politics ==
 
Benedictus is a soft-spoken man of average height and stocky build who looks more like a farmer than a religious leader. He still hates the Scourge for destroying his homeland, and has vowed to direct the Church in destroying that threat forever. Despite his quiet ways, Jarl is surprisingly adept at politics — at least in avoiding confrontation and forming alliances — and he has managed to keep the three bishops in check since his elevation.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 154</ref>[[File:Benedict.jpg|thumb|Archbishop Benedictus as seen in ''World of Warcraft''.]]

=== Tactics ===
 
{{Cleanup| This tactic is outdated and is no longer true after Benedictus received a power boost, should be renamed - '''Tactics - Pre-Cata''', and new section should be added for new tactics}}
 
Not an extremely deadly foe, a small well-planned raid can easily take him out.

Besides melee with his staff, he uses 2 types of Holy Smites, one being 1.5 sec casting time and the other being instant. Both do 1400-1600 Holy damage. He also uses Holy Nova when there are at least 2 targets within melee range of him. He also has a Power Word: Shield spell which he'll use throughout combat.
 
   
  +
[1] {{ClassIcon|Druid}} {{RaceIcon|Troll|Male}} Rerolltroll (Reserved for Cataclysm)
Really easy fight if you have shaman and warlock in your group. Shaman casts [[purge]] if Archbishop Benedictus uses PW:shield and [[spam]]s [[Grounding Totem]]. Warlock casts [[Felhunter]]s [[Devour Magic]] when Benedictus cast shield and holy fire. Warrior is good tank because warriors can use [[Spell Reflection]] to reflect his spells. Use any [[AoE]] to kill his [[Add]]s. Try to pull him to catacombs so guards and players wont help him.

==Trivia==
 
  +
{{User exalted|humans}}
*"Benedictus" (or "Benedict") is a Latin name that has been the [[wikipedia:Regnal name|regnal name]] of sixteen popes of the Catholic Church, including the current [[wikipedia:Pope Benedict XVI|Pope Benedict XVI]]. Given that Archbishop Benedictus' position as head of the Church of Light is similar to that of a pope, it is possible that the Archbishop's name was influenced by the traditional latin name. However, Archbishop Benedictus was created when John Paul II was the pope, long before the reign of Benedictus XVI and so Archbishop Benedictus could not have been named after the current pope.

*Archbishop Benedictus' new voice reassembles that of Chancellor Palaptine/Darth Sidious of Star Wars saga, which reflects Benedictus nature, that of a two faced agent of [[Twilight's Hammer|Darkness]]
