Pagans are people who practice the minor religion of Paganism, they are often referred to as Heretics. There are two types of pagans, one is more spiritual, while the other is a much darker version that use human sacrifices.

In the Series[]

Season 1[]

Although a menace in the forest is alluded to in the Pilot, it is not until A Chill in the Air when Paganism is officially introduced in the form of an unnamed pagan man. The man halts a moving carriage by running in front of it and claims that the king's road to the castle is flooded, suggesting the driver cut through the woods instead.

The driver heeds his advice and steers the carriage into a nearby forest, but he doesn't get far. The carriage gets stuck in the mud and is attacked by a group of pagans. The driver and a woman in the carriage have their throats slit, but a woman named Olivia D'Amencourt manages to flee the scene.

Olivia runs to court, where she recounts the event to her former flame, Prince Francis. Francis alerts Sebastian to the animosity that lurks in the realm, as he believes Bash may know how to deal with it. Bash goes to the forest with a group of guards and finds the driver and the woman hanging from a tree upside down. The woman has passed by now but the man is still alive, so Bash takes him to Nostradamus. It isn't long until the driver passes as well, but before he does, he speaks about a creature in the woods which demands fresh blood from the pagans.

In the night, as Bash is dusting his riding boots, he is startled by the same man who lured the carriage into the forest. The man tells Bash that he has repeatedly taken what doesn't belong to him by interrupting their blood sacrifices: first Colin MacPhail, then the driver. The man warns Bash that he is indebted to the Pagans, so he must choose someone to sacrifice. If he refuses, they will choose someone for him. The man then throws himself off of a balcony ledge.

Season 2[]

Paganism appears to be replaced by Protestantism in the second season, most likely because of The Darkness' demise. However, it is brought back in the latter half of the season with the introduction of the enigmatic Sister Delphine, also known as the "Woman in White".

Delphine is first introduced as a nun like any other, but it is soon revealed that she possesses the power of clairvoyance. Sensing that her skill could be useful, Sebastian brings her to court with him, much to the disdain of his estranged wife. During the siege on French court, Delphine has sex with a servant and using dark magic, bonds herself to Sebastian. This steers her into controversy when the same servant, who made sure to report her for being a witch and whose claim was corroborated by Princess Claude, is found dead in Delphine's chambers.
