The Lieutenant is the antagonist of the story and is also never given a name. He is an atheist who has an intense hatred for the Catholic Church. It is suggest that he had a very bad experience with the church as a child although the details are not known. He makes it his mission to destroy the church and personally hunt down the priests and kill them.
