Papa Emeritus (later known as Papa Emeritus I) was the frontman of Ghost during the Opus Eponymous cycle from 2008-2012.

Appearance

Papa I's mask is the only one that was not custom made, instead being a premade foam mask called Walter Grey #103.

Papa I wore two costumes during the Opus Eponymous era. The first costume was a red and black chasuble with upside down crosses and a mitre with the black Grucifix. For the second costume, during the end of the Opus era, his chasuble was white and black with gold grucifixes on the front.

History

Papa I made his live debut the 23rd of October 2010 during the Hammer Of Doom festival in Würzburg, Germany.

On December 15, 2012 during a special live show at the band's hometown of Linköping, Sweden, Papa I retired and was replaced by Papa Emeritus II.

In March 2018, he, alongside his brothers Papa Emeritus II and Papa Emeritus III, were killed by Papa Nihil, Sister Imperator, and the clergy. They were embalmed and put on display for Ghost's Prequelle and IMPERA touring cycles as part of the Veneration of Relics.
