Sylvia Pittston
Sylvia Pittston is the immense revival preacher of the desert town of Tull in The Gunslinger, a woman whose hellfire sermons hold the town and turn against the stranger the desert brings in.
Sylvia Pittston preaches in Tull, the desert town Roland passes through. She is an immense woman with a voice to fill a room and a presence that unsettles even the gunslinger, holding the little town's congregation in her fist with hellfire sermons on the Man Jesus. She came to Tull a dozen years before and has ruled its spiritual weather since. When a stranger with guns walks in out of the desert, her preaching turns to warnings of an Interloper come among them. In a world of dust, ruin, and a world moved on, she is the loudest voice in the one town on the road.
