Biography[]
Lilliman is the voice of the Norsefire Party in the Church of England, personally appointed to his position by Chancellor Sutler himself; however, it is later revealed he was once an ordinary cleric who worked at the Larkhill concentration camp where V was held. He was supposed to be looking for rights violations at the camp, but was actually sent to excuse all atrocities committed and make sure the camp kept running. He was promoted to Bishop of London after V destroyed Larkhill, and is one of the former staff members V targets for revenge.
However, another side of Lilliman is that he is a corrupt bishop who molests juvenile girls every Sunday. It is strongly implied that Lilliman employs the services of a secret sex agency, which recruits these young girls for him to abuse.
After Evey Hammond offers to repay V's kindness to her, he takes advantage and dresses her up as a young girl, then sends her to the Bishop. Lilliman arrives and attempts to rape Evey, ignoring her attempts to warn him about V's plan. However, she fends him off by kicking him in the crotch, to which Lilliman responds with misogynistic insults. V then arrives and Lilliman tries to shoot him, only to be disarmed by V. Lilliman begs for his life, but V kills him off-screen by force-feeding him an unspecified poison. Despite the vile nature of the bishop, Evey cannot help but feel partly responsible for his murder.
