Henri (In High Places)

Henri (d. c.a. 1368) lived and died in an alternate where the Great Black Deaths wiped out 4/5 of the population of Europe. More than a generation after the deaths began, Henri appeared in Avignon, France, preaching patience and promise of a better world, and praying for the end of the Deaths. In the desperate times, he gained a substantial following, much to the chagrin of the Pope and the King of France. When Henri proclaimed himself the Second Son of God, the King and the Pope ordered Henry tortured on the wheel, and then burned.

However, the next day, the King and the Pope were killed in an accident when the church they were praying in collapsed for no clear reason. This confirmed in the minds of his followers that Henri had been right. Henri was officially proclaimed the Son of God. Soon, belief in Henri surpassed that of his "brother", Jesus, with believers in the Second Revelation appearing all over those parts of Europe that remained Christian. The sign of the wheel replaced the sign of the cross.

Henri had no known analog in any other alternate Crosstime Traffic had explored. When Jacques, a follower of the Second Revelation, came to the home timeline, he had a brief crisis of faith when he learned this, uncomfortable with the possibility that a quirk of fate, not divine intervention, had shaped his religious beliefs.
