A Scripture-grounded archive of 3,403 biblical character entries. Fifty-six have full individual study pages — each with Theia A100 character art, a biblical narrative, and their significance for the Sanctum world.
The Sanctum people archive indexes every person named in Scripture with canonical citations, confidence tiers, and where applicable, Sanctum character art generated by the Theia A100 system. 3,403 entries indexed (index posture); 1,577 in first-pass review; 56 with full /sanctum-figure-* study pages; 361 rows in platform DB SSR (sanctum_people_index — 57 species; growing, bounded ingest). For anchor-passage navigation (name to verse), use /bible-people (27 curated navigator rows). For narrative depth on shipped figures, use /sanctum-figure-* pages below. People connect to biblical time on /chronology and ministry record on /history.
Every claim in the people archive carries an evidence tier — nothing outruns its proof.
Index means the person is cataloged with Scripture citations and metadata; no individual page yet.
Canon means the claim derives directly from Scripture — verses, roles, and chronology grounded in the biblical record.
Concept means a Theia A100 character art study or visual development packet exists; art is not claimed as game-ready or model-imported.
Figure Page means a full /sanctum-figure-* study page is shipped with narrative, Scripture record, and Sanctum significance — currently 56 figures.
Catalog (stub) means the name appears in the 3,403 index but has no individual page; ask Dave or check /bible-people?name= for the anchor passage.
Scripture is the authority; Dave is a study aid — see /dave-how-it-works for limits.
Sanctum people archive entry — anchor passage doorway, not a full biography. Follow /sanctum-figure-* when a Figure Page exists.
Proof tier: Figure Page — full /sanctum-figure-* study shipped.
The voice crying in the wilderness, preparing the way.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.— KJV, John 1:23
Platform DB slice: 361 indexed rows (178 OT, 148 NT) in sanctum_people_index. Full catalog: 3,403 names (metadata until bounded ingest).
Filter the platform DB slice by proof tier — type a tier keyword in the search box above (exact match, case-insensitive).
Tier filters: Index (catalog row, no figure page yet), Figure (live /sanctum-figure-* contract shipped), Canon (Scripture-grounded claim tier in DB).
Figure badge on results prefers the live sanctum-figure contract over the DB proof_tier column — a row may show Figure Page even when the DB column still says Index.
Examples:
• /sanctum-wiki-people/search?q=Figure — people with shipped /sanctum-figure-* pages
• /sanctum-wiki-people/search?q=Index — Index-tier rows in the current DB slice
• /sanctum-wiki-people/david — sample slug (Figure Page when /sanctum-figure-david exists)
• /sanctum-wiki-people/moses — sample slug
• /sanctum-figure-david — full narrative figure page
• /sanctum-figure-moses — full narrative figure page
Name search still works: try david, moses, or a role keyword.
Type a name (david, moses) or a tier keyword (Figure, Index, Canon) in the box above. Figure filter uses live /sanctum-figure-* contracts, not DB column alone.
