Prevost, 69, is the head of the Vatican office for advising the pope on the appointment of bishops. Historically, there has been little appetite for an American pope — with the widespread consensus among the College of Cardinals that the United States has too much power in the world already. But Prevost has lived the majority of his life outside the United States, in Italy and Peru. As the former head of the Augustinian religious order, he traveled the world, giving him serious name recognition in a conclave where it will matter more than ever. He is widely viewed as an effective manager who knows the inner workings of the Vatican's antiquated bureaucracy. But his quiet and reserved manner may be a deal-breaker for some looking for a charismatic leader to emerge from the conclave.
