The '''Faithful'''
[[
▲'''Faithful''' is a term to describe those that thought ''good'' [[Epic]]s exist. The term was created after the arrival of [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]] and the Epics that came with it started terrorizing humanity. The Faithful think that there will eventually be ''superheroes'' that will stop the ''evil'' Epics.
David initially thinks people with such faith are foolish: his early life at [[Havendark Factory]] teaches him to be a realist, but to be one of the Faithful requires a certain idealism.{{book ref|r1|23}} However, he eventually comes to believe that [[Prof]] is a hero despite being an Epic, though this belief does not transfer to a broader hope for Epics in general.{{book ref|r2|32}}
▲[[David Charleston|David]]'s father{{book ref|Steelheart|prologue}}, and [[Abraham]]{{book ref|Steelheart|23}} are Faithful.
In the alternate universe, the Faithful include Epics who use their powers for good against evil. These Epics include Blain Charleston, [[Firefight]] and [[Tavi]].{{cite}}
The symbol of the Faithful is described as a "stylized S shape"{{book ref|r1|23}}{{book ref|r2|7}}; Abraham always carries a pendant in that shape. When David travels to [[Babilar]], Abraham also gives him a pendant as a gift{{book ref|r2|7}}, and David often thinks about it afterward. Although it could not explicitly be described as such in the books for legal reasons, the symbol is meant to be the real-world [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] logo.{{wob ref|10735}}
