Help with the religious titles in my book...?

Question

I need at leat one religious title for the "bad guys" in my book. I started with "priest" but I want it to be somthing original. And it should sound ... kinda scary.

Its a hiararchical religion so more than one would be great.

Answer 1

The Wikipedia page below might help inspire you. I think Elder, Prophet and Saint (like me, tee hee!) are kind of creepy. No offence to any actual elders, prophets or saints implied :)

Answer 2

Just off the top of my head, how about this?:

Initiate
Fellow
Acolyte
Preceptor
Elder
Eldest
