Gustav Jung (Merveilles des Morte)

Gustav Jung (c. 1475- 25 December 1538) was a prominent Jungist, and the first ecclesiastical Archbishop of Saxony. He claimed to be the son of the famed Konrad Jung, the founder of Jungism, although his background and early life is shrouded in mystery. He emerged immediately after Konrad Jung's death, leading some to doubt that he was indeed the son of the first Jung, with many historians coming to the conclusion that Gustav was instead a cousin or a brother. However, his story was widely accepted by most Jungists, and he rose in the ranks, eventually being invested as the first Jungist Bishop of Saxony. He represented Saxony in religious debates and councils for some time.

During the War of the Bavarian Succession, Gustav Jung, would travel to the Emperor, Ottokar, who was being held captive, personally to attempt to bargain a deal—the Emperor’s release in exchange for a concession of land to Saxony and religious freedom for Jungists. Soon after, while the Emperor was being brought north, a daring rescue attempt would be launched by Jantis "the Jackal" Jett and several other imperial guards. Jantis managed to sneak into the Jungist camp and impersonate an officer, allowing him to free the Emperor. Jung disappeared, and it soon became clear that he had gone into hiding to escape the Emperor's wrath. Theoderic Rood became the acting Bishop of Saxony.

Jung returned several years later, claiming to have seen the Thin White Duke be resurrected, and ascend to Heaven, which contributed to the powerful personality cult already surrounding the Duke. As Jung grew older, his son Lael became co-Bishop of Saxony with him. Jung was notably killed in the Wittenberg Christmas Day Massacre orchestrated by Catholics. His son Lael became the next Bishop of Saxony, while his relative Thomas became the President of the Magi.
