Sister Miriam Godwinson is one of the faction leaders in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. She is in charge of The Lord's Believers and, depending on your personal view, either is a murderously insane fanatic or the sole voice of reason left on Planet.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Godwinson's deep empathy, superb charisma, and her Ph.D. in psychology make her a born (cult) leader. Already enjoying religious reverence in her native Christian States of America, the United Nations saw themselves pressured to recruit her as a "Psych Caplain" for the Alpha Centauri Mission. To her defense, there is no denying that Sister Miriam is genuinenly concerned about the well-being of her flock, but as much as she tries to bring them closer to salvation, her own underlying psychological issues may result in her adapting increasingly extreme means to promote said well-being.

Following the failure of the Alpha Centauri Mission and the crash of the HMS Unity, this issue became readily apparent when Godwinson gathered her faithful and founded the Lord's Believers. Marked by a deep distrust towards secular science and the fervent desire to defend "their" promised lands from all sorts of evil, the Believers ostensibly appears as blind zealots that oppose progress in all of its forms and seek to establish a totalitarian theocracy. On the flipside, the fact that much of said "progress" on the part of the other factions takes more and more disturbing forms the longer the game goes on suggests the Believers might have a point.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Godwinson fought in 8chanmania L. Her faith was strong enough to let her defeat the megalomanic SHODAN, but not quite strong enough to prevent her from tapping out against the 8chanmania Audience Member.
