The Pope
Pope Matthai Reese
Voiced by: Masafumi Kimura
The current Pope of The Roman Catholic Chuch and head of the Vatican. While he appears to be
in complete control, he's something of a puppet to Fiamma of the Right. That said, he's not fully content to play second fiddle...
- And I Must Scream / Fate Worse than Death: What he tried to do to Fiamma of the Right after Fiamma told him his plan. Key word being tried.
- Badass Beard
- Cool Old Guy: Despite being the Pope, he still believes in the greater good — trying to save lives, even at the risk of the Roman Catholic Church completely losing its ground to the Anglican Church.
- Corrupt Church: A reasonable leader who unfortunately has to control minions whose actions at times are...questionable, to say the least.
- Heroic Sacrifice: While he doesn't die from the blow, he does save Vatican City and a large majority of Rome from Fiamma's attack.
- Expy: Artist notes indicate that his appearance is based on Gandalf
- The Pope: ...Pretty obvious, this one.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Ironically, he is the only good and the most sane and reasonable leader of all the magic factions. And most of what he does, like investigating Touma, are for the safety of the church. Thank God he's in charge compared to his subordinates.
- Somewhat subverted. He is ultimately Fiamma's puppet; it's he who has the most power within the Church, that is until he attacks the Vatican.
- Unwitting Pawn
- You're Insane!: To Fiamma of the Right at the end of Volume 16, after he tells the Pope his plan. Fiamma's response? Destroying St. Peter's Basilica.
