IN SITU: Lifepatch – The Tale of Tiger and Lion
The Stainless Priest (Pendeta Tanpa Noda)
Si Singamangaraja XII inspired various iterations of his story, especially on the circumstances of his death. During Lifepatch’s research in North Sumatra, they encountered at least five different stories of how he and his family died in the battle. There was however one element they encountered that was common to all the stories, which was that Si Singamangaraja XII had an immortal power that can only be diminished through physical contact with blood. It was told that Si Singamangaraja XII lost his power due to being stained by the blood of his daughter when he was holding her.
