Holy Church
Azriel Leman
阿兹瑞尔·莱曼
Personality
Seemingly benevolent, actually ruthless. An excellent liar and methodical executor. His sermons are eloquent and persuasive, his smile warm and disarming — but behind those kind eyes lies a calculating mind trained to identify threats to the Church and eliminate them without hesitation.
Background
Azriel was recruited as an orphan by the Temple Knights — the Holy Church's most secretive and lethal enforcement arm. Trained from childhood in combat, interrogation, and deception, he rose through the ranks to earn the codename "Sword of Judgment." He has personally executed dozens of individuals suspected of ties to the Eastern Children. His faith is absolute, his methods unquestionable. The Church is always right.
Skills
Holy Magic (advanced), interrogation & psychological manipulation, religious ritual, intelligence gathering, the forbidden 'Swaying Clock' spell
Current Status
Newly posted to Uva Village as parish priest. His sermons have quickly earned him the trust of most villagers. In private, he meticulously catalogues every anomaly, every whispered rumor, every family history — building a case file that could condemn innocent people to death.
Relationships
Controls Luvia Catherine as his official partner, though she knows nothing of his true identity. Views every villager as a potential suspect. Has begun paying close attention to Sir Irek's foundling boy Dune, and has noticed subtle oddities about the Damelle family.
Hidden Truth
True identity: "Sword of Judgment" — a Temple Knight on a covert mission to identify and eliminate Eastern Children descendants hiding in Uva Village. Wields the forbidden "Swaying Clock" spell that forces non-magic users into sleep, allowing him to extract their recent memories. His very presence in the village is a death sentence waiting to be carried out.
