 The efforts of the priests and workers were semi-successful. Jeremiah Parrish was cut off from society, but he survived, living in the sealed section of the Cathedral for decades. His humanity dwindling until the emergence of the first public superheroes showed him the possibility of doing positive work among humanity while keeping his secrets. He became a shadowy stalker, feared by the criminal fraternity, little seen, and never photographed.

Events conspired that slowly turned the citizens against their super-powered guardians, a movement that turned out to be part of an elaborate plot by an alien species called the [[Enelsians]] to weaken Earth for imminent conquest.

-Based out of an abandoned vestry in [[Grandenetti Cathedral]], the shadowy figure known as the Confessor was once Jeremiah Parrish, a young priest, who arrived in the Western United States and the city of [[Romeyn Falls]] in 1869. He began his vigilante career, prowling the rooftops and dark streets of Astro City in the early 1950s.

 ===The Sin and Redemption of Jeremiah Parrish===
 [[image:vampireJaneDoe.jpg|150px|left]]
-He came to oversee the importation of eastern European goods. He managed negotiations and relationships with the foremen and workers that lived in the foothills of Mount Kirby. An area now know as Shadow Hill. Many of them had migrated from southeastern Europe to help build Cardinal Grandenetti's magnificent Cathedral. In the process, Jeremiah became enthralled by a young female who was cursed as a vampire. She drained him of his blood, and left him in a waste pit to rot. He rose again three days later, a vampire himself.

 The last mention of Jeremiah Parrish is from an entry in the diary of [[Enzio Grandenetti]]; ''"The Creature that now inhabits poor Father Parrish's body has again eluded the godly efforts of those that hunt him. It seems we will now never be able to destroy him, and grant peace to his soul. We must seal him in his lair, away from those he would prey upon, as his thrice-accursed kind always do. I have set the masons to this task and hear them already about their godly work. May God bless their efforts, that we may have peace from this blasphemous creature."''

 * Four years after his death, the visage of the Confessor reappeared in Astro City. While some still cling to the belief that it is the same vampire cursed entity, in truth, it's Jeremiah Parrish's pupil, [[Confessor (Brian Kinney)|Brian Kinney]], now equipped with new weapons and training, to continue the legend of the eerie and mysterious crime-fighter we all know as the Confessor.
