The '''Faithful''' are those who believe that good [[Epic]]s exist--, ones who will use their power for protection rather than domination. The term comes into use after [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]] and the Epics arrive and begin terrorizing humanity. The Faithful think that there will eventually be "superheroes" who will stop the evil Epics.
 
[[Blain Charleston]] (David's father){{book ref|Steelheart|prologue}} and [[Abraham]]{{book ref|Steelheart|23}} are known to be among the Faithful.
 
David initially thinks people with such faith are foolish: his early life in theat [[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}}
 
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}}
