Father Milligan

Father Milligan is the founder and head of the Church of the Brotherhood of Truth, later renamed the Personhood of Truth. He is played by Ian Roth.

Appearance and Personality
Father Milligan is a high priest, the leader of the Personhood of Truth and Sister Mary's adoptive father. He wears a black suit with a white shirt throughout the film.

Despite being a religious man, the Father is cold and somewhat scheming. His sworn enemy is Garyth Soup, head of the P.R.A.T.S. He is aware of Sister Mary's relationship with Ned Reese Cart , a young P.R.A.T, and encourages her to make him defect to their side. It is unknown what his ulterior motives are, if any.

He is the owner of a small device, marked "EMERGENCY USE ONLY", that Saggers steals. When activated, it turns out to be a direct portal enabling the user to talk to God.

Role
Father Milligan is first met in the Church of the Personhood, where he advises a nervous Mary to seek out Ned Reese Coats. When she leaves, he notices Saggers following her and attempts to convert him. When he learns Saggers' name, he orders his henchwoman to suffocate him and ties him to a chair.

When Saggers comes around, he is being held in the Father's office, where he demands to know the Personhood's plans. The Father and Mary refuse to tell him, before revealing that her faked murder was just a ruse to distract Norwich and Saggers. Saggers notices the device the Father is holding, and he lunges across the desk to steal it, attacking Prankin in the process.

At the end of the film, Father Milligan is seen arriving at the location of the universal anomaly at the same times as the P.R.A.T.S. He swordfights against Garyth Soup. As of the end of the film, his fate is unknown.
