  • Fire and Brimstone: 4. Growing up in a time of hardship, Father Taggart was no stranger to apocalyptic prophecies. He learned how to use words to "put the fear of God into people" and intimidate his way out of risky situations.
  • Enlightenment: 4. Taggart learned many interpretations of biblical scripture during his studies. This made him appreciate the value in listening to every side of an argument. His thoughtfulness makes others more likely to confide in him.

Personal History:

Born in upstate New York in 1920, Taggart was around nine years old when the Great Depression started. His parents came to the United States from Ireland to find work and his father earned barely enough to support his wife and three sons by doing dangerous jobs at a local train yard. Taggart was raised in poverty, but was aware from a young age that plenty of other children were poorer. He was given food by sisters from a nearby convent during a particularly lean time in his adolescence. Touched by their kindness, he resolved to become a priest of the Roman Catholic Church.

He was a gifted student with a passion for knowledge. The war started, and though he did not harm anyone directly, Taggart was deeply disturbed by what he experienced as an Army chaplain. After it ended, he devoted himself to his theological studies and gained a reputation among his peers as an expert in world religions and church history. The Foundation recognized his talents and he was recruited.
