In my defense, Seneschal is usually a single person's title, not the name of a collective group. For that matter, the term used for the entire hierarchy of the Church is 'the hierarchy', 'the Church hierarchy', or 'the bishops'. Why are they using a singular title?
Yeah, in the real world a seneschal is like a steward or a butler. It really does not work as the name of a big religious organisation.
The mind-tampering in my spitefic is partly the Sentinels, partly long-term exposure to Axis since, well, Axis isn't really a friendly person.
It's like he can't be considered heroic if he's, you know, a nice person. That he has a "best friend" this slavishly devoted to him implies that Belial is a weak-willed loser who has attached himself to the head bully, who accepts his devotion because he can bully him and otherwise use him as it suits him. I actually wrote just such a friendship not that long ago, and it did not end well for the "best friend" when the psychotic bully finally ran out of use for him.
