Answer:

Enoch

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe the character Enoch, is the son of the snake priest.

He is a significant character in the novel because of the fervency with which he embraced Christianity thereby contributing to the disintegration of the Umuofia clan's traditional beliefs.

He worked assiduously with the missionaries in propagating the new faith.
