Garyth Soup

Garyth Soup is the founder and leader of the P.R.A.T.S. He is portrayed by Andrew Isaacs.

His name is an anagram of Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras.

Appearance and Personality
Garyth Soup is the leader of the P.R.A.T.S. Intelligent and smart, he is always immaculately dressed in a black suit and bow tie. He is extremely proficient in swordfighting, bested only by Norwich.

Garyth is somewhat old-fashioned, expressing annoyance at having to refer to the Brotherhood as "The Personhood" at the request of the producers. He makes a number of old-fashioned jokes, and is prone to bouts of over-exertion. He has a distinctively rich bass voice and a short temper.

He has a lot in common with Norwich, and his desire is to get him to join the P.R.A.T.S. until Norwich insults him.

Role
As the head of P.R.A.T.S, Soup orders Ned Reese Cart to fake the murder of Sister Mary as a distraction for Norwich and Saggers. He is seen discussing the plan with Cart, while Father Milligan's henchwomen record them on a camcorder.

After Norwich follows Ned to the P.R.A.T.S' lair, he appears to introduce himself to Norwich. He tries to entice Norwich into joining the P.R.A.T.S, explaining their motive to obliterate religion and introduce free thought to the world. After Norwich rebuffs them, he sets Ned onto him. When Ned is incapacitated, he takes over and momentarily overpowers Norwich, only for Norwich to produce a dagger from nowhere and knock the sword from his hands. Norwich flees, trapping Ned and Soup in the lair.

At the climax of the film, Soup and the P.R.A.T.S find the X that marks the spot of the universal anomaly, just as the Personhood arrive. He is last seen swordfighting Father Milligan.
