Church of the Blind God

"The United States was founded as a Christian nation but we have been infiltrated by pagan gods. The spawn of these false gods look human but possess unholy magical powers. Fellow Christians, fellow humans, it is time to take back our world!"

- Malachi Shepard The Church of the Blind God, also called the Midnight Church, is a reactionary and bigoted religious organization, founded and led by Malachi Shepard, the church seeks to spread awareness of the supernatural as well as promote intolerance and even violence towards supernatural beings, especially demigods.

Malachi Shepard founded the first incarnation of this church in 1983 when he was only twelve years old and was in a youth detention center. Malachi's "Bible study group" doubled as a group of thugs who would protect him and enforce his will on the other inmates.

This criminal aspect of the Church of the Blind God has never gone away, but as Malachi grew older and the Church grew bigger it's thuggish behavior became more sophisticated.

By the year 2009, the Church of the Blind God has established chapters all across America and had been responsible for the murders of over a hundred demigods.

At the end of the Second Titan War when Percy made the gods promise to claim all their children by thirteen, this complicated things for the Church of the Blind God. From that point on they would have no more easy targets.
