Character Name
Isaiah
Isaiah Isaiah carries the full prophetic charge of the Hebrew scriptural tradition — a name given to the prophet whose vision of divine justice and coming redemption has inspired Jewish, Christian, and Islamic readers for twenty-seven centuries. The concept of salvation-as-action at the root of the name implies a character who does not wait for rescue but participates in the process of deliverance. It suits protagonists who speak uncomfortable truths to power and whose words outlast the consequences they face for speaking them.
