Friends! Father Etlau is the most colorful character of Nick Perumov ("Diamond Sword, Wooden Sword" + sequels) — in my humble opinion, this is one of the most vivid narratives in Fantasy:)
As for the idea that "Monks are servants of light, helpers to people, who bring light to society and certainly wouldn't sacrifice anyone"... that's a debatable point... Any fantasy world implies societal development at a Middle Ages level... = illiteracy, etc. = faith turning into unhealthy fanaticism:)))) and even in our world, any man would more likely believe in a crazy monk (Example - White Brotherhood) than in a vampire... especially a high one... especially with a sword....
The essence of the monks' strike against the undead = the "Savior's Magic" branch of magic:) the suffering of sinners (and anyone at hand can be one) through torture generates a huge amount of energy, embodied as a magical strike against "sneaky creatures":))))
