The "Blue Eyes" company's people ultimately did not offer more explanation about the Church, merely mentioning vaguely that the Church existed during the Dark Ages and that some had altered the history of that period, causing many actual events and people to vanish forever from the historical annals.

Even if the "Blue Eyes" accompanying its backing military technology could only speculate based on various clues about what precisely happened in the Dark Ages, this weary middle-aged man seemed to know some details about that era.
