Father Loomis

Father Loomis was played by Donald Pleasance in the movie Prince of Darkness.

He is a Catholic priest. He is sent by the Archbishop of Los Angeles to investigate another priest, who was a member of The Brotherhood of the Sleep and who died wanting to talk to the Archbishop. Durign the investigation he investigates the abandoned monastery he lived in and also discovers, that this sect had tremendous power and influence to the extnet that noone dared to question its actions.

He, with other priests, discover a mysterious large glass cylinder in the basement of an abandoned church in Los Angeles that contains green liquid. He realises through the kowledge hidden in this monastery that this liquid is Satan and that this brotherhood had the duty to guard it and protect humanity from it. He also discovers that the entire story of the Bible is an invention to hide the fact, that evil is that substance and that Jesus was an extraterrestial sent to warn us about it and that he left scientific knowledge for that that can only be understood in modern times.

Loomis invites a friend and college professor, Howard Birack to deal with this problem and he comes with his best students, whom he explains everything like he did with Birack and warns them, that this liquid has begun to become active and that the priest wanted to warn about it before he died.

With their help he narrowly manages to stop the threat. During the fight he gets wounded and is therefore later taken away by an ambulance
