Foundation
The Church of England was first created in the year 1534 during the English Reformation. King Henry VIII had decided to create the Anglican Church in response to his hatred of other countries interfering with England and its affairs and decided to take matters into his own hands. King Henry then established two major rules; One being that the England would never be violated by outside foreign influence and second that the King of England was the leader of the Anglican Church and that he didn't have to listen to neither the Pope nor the Roman Orthodox Church. The English Puritan Church later on took over as the prodominate religion of England (and the United Kingdom in the future) and eventually broke away from the Roman Church as its own form of Protestant Christianity. During England's early days, magicians ran wild and rampant throughout the country and since England is a magical country, the English Church had to step in and seize control.

Over the next centuries, the English Puritan Church would launch an endless crusade of witch hunts, heretic hunts, and inquisitions against magicians in an effort to keep them under control and have magic contained in all of England. In an effort to keep magic contained, the English Church had created the Church of Necessary Evil or Necessarius to deal with such tasks. Necessarius carried out their objectives, but their members had became magicians themselves and were viewed negativly by the Church but overtime, they gained more power to the point of having more authority then the rest of the Anglican Clergy and St. George's Cathedral became the de facto headquarters for the English Church as well as the official HQ for Necessarius and they began to ran things behind the scenes.
