They believe that this person must be protected at all costs because he will be inhabited by Jesus's spirit during His time on earth when the time comes for mankind's salvation. Meanwhile, this person must be kept safe, whole, secure, and pure. His followers may even think this person can perform miracles. Maybe they think that Jesus is slowly, over time, asserting himself in this person.

And in the meantime, the members of this sect of Christians are fanatically loyal, perhaps feel the need to purify humanity, and willing to do anything to further their beliefs, at any costs. The PCs could be in conflict with this sect, or maybe the sect hires them as bodyguards or part of a mercenary group. The PCs then come in conflict with some of the sect's practices and acts. What do they do then? It's a really good job, but they face a moral dilemma...

I apologize if my musings here are possibly sacrilegious to anyone here. It's just an adventure/encounter idea.
