On that note, what if the Penitent had a more powerful national summon they propagated? Background-wise, the Penitant who lived and died in their armor, would be welded into it when they no longer could fight. When they died, their spirits would remain locked in the armor, forever serving as undead models of purity, chastity, and self-denial. They'd look like black steel armor with pure light flooding from the seams-kind of sort of maybe a little like the Hellspawn Slayer "The Disciple" from the Spawn series.
