			There are three types of apostle that may challenge you and be recruited.
			* [[File:Orc apostle warrior.png]] '''Warriors''' are the toughest and most physically powerful apostles. They are most likely to get high-quality equipment.
			* [[File:Orc apostle priest.png]] '''Priests''' have moderate durability and power, and get support and/or summoning spells.
			* [[File:Orc apostle wizard.png]] '''Wizards''' are the most fragile apostles, but make up for it with increased evasion and multiple powerful offensive spells. They are also naturally cautious, and will attempt to hang back and blast enemies from afar.

			Regardless of type, all apostles can walk on water and are immune to being [[polymorph]]ed.
