A Church of the Walls minister who sat on King Fritz's ruling assembly, this unnamed official survives the military coup that topples the puppet government. While his fellow assemblymen go to prison, he alone walks free and keeps a seat on the new council under Queen Historia.
His robes identify him as Church of the Walls clergy. Middle age shows in his long, drawn face and prominent nose, framed by short light hair and an unkempt stretch of facial hair. During a brief spell behind bars he traded the vestments for prison clothing.
Self-preservation drives nearly everything he does, and the welfare of the population inside the Walls ranks far below his own comfort. He backed the move to dissolve the Survey Corps on invented charges simply to protect his standing, dressing the decision up as service to the people. The mask slips when he supports barring Wall Rose's refugees from the interior, shuddering at the mere thought of displaced citizens entering Wall Sheena.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
After the Survey Corps' costly attempt to capture the Female Titan tears through Stohess District, this official and Minister Nick answer a summons from the mayor to review the destruction.
He later sits as one of four assemblymen beside King Fritz at the treason trial of Erwin Smith, a proceeding meant to decide whether the Survey Corps continues to exist. When a report arrives claiming the Colossus and Armored Titans have broken through Wall Rose, he joins the other nobles in ordering the gates shut against refugees, and the council openly weighs the prospect of Rod Reiss recovering the Coordinate from Eren Yeager within days. Darius Zackly then interrupts alongside Dot Pixis to reveal that the breach report was staged, a test of the assembly's fitness to govern that the nobles have plainly failed.
His colleagues are arrested and locked away, yet for reasons never explained this minister escapes punishment entirely and continues serving on the reconstituted assembly under Historia Reiss.
