In Alexandrian Orthodoxy theology some mortals prove themselves in life to be such a paragon of a virtue and/or defender of some ideal or group that in death they become part of Alexandria's Court. This posthumous title is only granted after several years of various tests and criteria and these Champions are also frequently referred to by the ancient Ubrekti title of "Saint". Even prior to the War of Schism there were regional variations on the lists of recognized Champions and the creation of many nation-backed Western Alexandrian Churches following that war has led to even more variations in official lists as several of those nations formally canonized national heroes and historic figures (some of which were likely already considered "folk" Champions.)
