The High Council of Zakarum is the ruling council of the Zakarum priesthood. The High Council is led by the Que-Hegan, a 'pope'-like figure. Though they were once noble, faithful servants of the Light, the High Council fell under Mephisto's sway after he was imprisoned within the Temple of Light in Travincal. Now they are devoted servants of the Lord of Hatred, supplying him with information and carrying out his orders by turning their misguided followers into hate-driven fanatics.
