  • Opposes: Aphrodite, William Shakespeare
  • Respected by: Alexander the Great
  • Complicated Relationship: Amakusa Shirou Tokisada
  • A powerful warrior born from the Sea Nymph Thetis who was the Sea God Nereus' daughter. This gave him divinity and the strength and skill in battle that he has been known to have. He was made even more powerful when his mother dipped his body in the river Styx. However, he was left vulnerable in the part of the body by which she held him, his heel. He then became one of Chiron's students and Patroclus' lover. He along with his best friend participated in the war against Troy to bring back Helen. He defeated Hector in battle, enraging Paris, who shot Achilles in his heel and killed him.
  • It was a bright sunny day in the Pantheon when people heard the arrival of a chariot running across the border. They then met a demigod who heard about the existence of this place and told them he arrived here to meet worthy opponents. It was then that the people found out that the man is Achilles, and was actually ascended earlier before he arrived.
  • He was distraught when he learned about Patroclus’s death, so much so he declared revenge and brutally murdered his boyfriend’s murderer. Seeing Patroclus again made him shed some tears and they shared a heartfelt reunion. A celebration was shared between them along with their dear friends.
  • Despite their differences, he and Odysseus remained good enough friends that the former’s armor was even granted to the latter. When they met again, Achilles expressed his disappointment at following his rage to avenge Patroclus, which is why he stopped Atalanta from going further on her quest to save Jack the Ripper and killing Jeanne d’Arc in the Great Holy Grail War. Odysseus is glad that Achilles is able to see reason behind his actions and even with his glory-seeking hunger, he tries to make up for it.
  • He is very happy to see his teacher Chiron again. While he enjoyed the first time they fought each other in the Great Holy Grail War, the second time saddened him so much thanks to his experiences in the Atlantis Lostbelt and what his teacher had become, even if the version of Chiron he met is an alternate reality version of him. Chiron has took the time to comfort Achilles and tells him that he didn’t blame him for killing his Evil Counterpart in the Lostbelt and is doing for what’s right in the survival of Pan-Human History.
  • He’s glad to reunite with Mordred and Karna, the latter whom he wanted to challenge again. His relationship with Shirou still remains to be complicated, though he’s glad that’s he not pursuing the Holy Grail for the time being. He doesn’t Shakespeare due to his despicable nature in the Great Holy Grail War. And reading his portrayal of him and Ajax in Troilus and Cressida gave him more to reason to oppose him. But the one person he’s excited to meet again is Atalanta, whom he managed to stop from her fueling rage since he regretted committing his vengeance for Patroclus. Atalanta has forgiven him for it and thanked him for stopping it. Of course, Achilles proceeded to let one of his childhood heroes to meet with Patroclus and have a proper introduction with Chiron now that they’re not fighting as enemies, the former who’s disappointed at not being able to join the Great Holy Grail War at his best friend’s side.
  • Of course, he’s happy to be able to appear in Chaldea and is extremely fond of his new Master, so seeing them being able to ascend made him happy. Finding out that he left his beloved Master and the rest of Chaldea all alone with no help and way to escape in the Atlantic Lostbelt really distraught him.
    • Speaking of the Atlantic Lostbelt, he is happy to see his new team, the Neo Argonauts as one of their Master’s heralds, having been banded together by Chaldea and becoming Fire-Forged Friends after regaining hope to protect Pan-Human History from the Atlantic Lostbelt. In fact, he is so happy to reunite with them again (except for Paris, but the two are willing to team up for their Master’s sake) that he introduced them to Patroclus, Chiron, and Atalanta (the latter two who are shocked at Jason’s heroic actions considering he’s not serious about his training and duty his hero, which Jason retorted back that he can be a serious hero in the right situation, and for putting aside his injury to protect his new friends). They hope that when they reunite with their Master again, they want to throw a celebration for him for bringing them together even with the hopelessness of their situation.
  • He’s happy to meet Heracles, whom he had challenged to a duel to measure his strength. The same could be said with Zeus, due to being distantly related and helping Achilles to join the Trojan War and supporting the Greeks. He’s not that happy to meet Aphrodite as she had supported Paris’s side during the Trojan War even with her guilt of what she did, but seeing it in his won eyes let him leave her alone for it.
  • He’s excited at the chance of challenging Son Goku because of his enormous power and multiple super forms. This caused Achilles to enter his temple and challenge him to a battle using his Ultra Instinct. Nobody knows who won because of multiple explosions that have occured, but everyone who could see Achilles in a bloodied state but with a smile on his face.
  • Having met Achilles in Chaldea, Alexander the Great is excited to see Achilles once more in the Pantheon and wanted to challenge him. Despite being unnerved by Alexander’s fanboying, he is excited of meeting a fan of his.
  • Hearing about the most powerful Servant in existence, Achilles demanded Gilgamesh to challenge him in a duel. Gilgamesh is impressed with Achilles’s bravery of challenging him and the battle ended with Gilgamesh winning, but the King of Heroes is impressed with Achilles’s power and that he is able to leave him a scratch, which is why he challenges him every now and then.
  • Unlike his good friend Odysseus, he is impressed with Leonidas I’s training regime of his citizens and considers joining it. Leonidas is happy to see a great Greek hero who taught highly of him and the two have become two friends over it. Achilles even joined Leonidas’s side in his battles (mostly because he loves the trill for it).
  • Hearing about his strength, he became excited at the idea of challenging Lu Bu, along with his allies Diaochan and Lu Lingqi. Hearing about his massive power and thrill for battle, Lu Bu made a proposition with Achilles that in exchange of being rivals, he should be fighting at his side whenever he and his army are in battle. This made Achilles much more excited and has accepted his request, even with the knowledge of his betrayal.
  • Having regretted the choices he made during the Trojan War, he warned Percy Jackson of all the dangers of bathing the River Styx. Having no hope of battling Kronos left, Achilles decided to tell him to choose one vulnerable weak spot and gave him a last warning. He is happy to see Kronos’s defeat even if it’s Luke who defeated him and he and Percy have agreed to remain on good terms.
  • Achilles has heard of a female warrior that beared his alias when he crossdressed once, and she is Pyrrha Nikos. When he meets her, she was apprehensive at first when she heard of him and his journey as well as his past attitude, but once they both talked it out they have smoothed their relations and even respecting each other as fellow warriors. Achilles is even more saddened that Pyrrha died much like he did by getting shot at the heel and chest, only she gets turned into dust afterwards and is doing everything he can to reassure her that her sacrifice will not be in vain.
Death and the strong force of fate are waiting. There will come a dawn or sunset or high noon when a man will take my life in battle too — flinging a spear perhaps or whipping a deadly arrow off his bow

  • Opposes: Excessively violent heroes
  • Worthy Opponent: Saitama
  • Complicated Relationships: The House of Prophecy (Especially the Prophets)
  • Lord Boros was an Alien leader of a group of intergalactic invaders that dedicated themselves to invade planets until one day, a Prophet foretold that Boros could find someone who could match him in strength in planet Earth and he immediately departed there in hopes of finding said person. To put it short, he wasn't disappointed with what he found.
    • To say that he managed to survive more than one punch from Saitama and even managed to give him some resemblance of a Fight is what surprised many people. This was one of the reasons why he was ascended not long after he was defeated.
  • The first thing he did after ascending is confronting the one person that managed to defeat him, Saitama. He declared in front of the Hero that he will train hard enough to go beyond his limit and then challenge him for the Rematch. While Saitama wasn't fazed at all, he secretly looks forward to the Alien's training results and see if he can keep his word. And there are many gods worried about what would happen if these two cross paths again.
  • After hearing about Boros, Frieza decided to confront him personally to see if he was as strong as he was rumored to be. It wasn't surprising that Boros was gleefully smiling after hearing that there was another being strong enough to oppose him and the resulting battle left neither emperor disappointed. To the surprise and eventual horror to everybody, both intergalactic lords became best buddies.
    • To top it off, Boros started to take sparring matches with Frieza in his spare time after hearing that the former attained a powerful form after a short amount of time. Worse, he plans to test his newfound skills on Frieza's arch-nemeses, the Saiyans, after hearing of their immense combat potential. Looks like defeat wasn't so bitter after all for Boros...
  • Altough he has clarified that his Regenerating Power is what allowed him to Shrug off some of Saitama's powerful punches, many theorize he actually has the Sturdy ability◊.
  • Another person that caught his attention was the Swordsman Sephiroth, especially because they both sound suspiciously similar and have Powerful forms that they only unleashed as a trump card. This also didn't sit well with Cloud and the latter has been careful of the Alien lord ever since.
  • He is planning to form another intergalactic group because sadly the last one were all killed. One of the first people that joined him was the Space Pirate Ridley, because the Dragon was impressed that there was another Creature as durable as he is. This pleases Boros greatly.
    • This alliance has brought the ire of many people who have fought aliens before and it is possible that a new organization may be formed to counter whatever Boros has in store.
  • He gets along surprisingly well with One-eyed deities like Mother Brain or Gigan, who are aliens that also invaded planets for their own cause. He also is in good terms with the Yellow devil even though he isn't an alien, as he reminds him of one of his Top lieutenants who fought on Earth.
  • He hates heroes who show no mercy toward their enemies, as he found out that the surviving Crew that came to earth with him was executed by Knight Templar Hero by the name of Sweet Mask. People like Killia, Kenshiro or Shadow the Hedgehog are what makes him get instantly angry.
  • He isn't very fond of the Prophecy house, since although the Prophecy he was told was right at the end, he felt very disappointed that he couldn't give a Challenge to Saitama. He has stated that Prophecies became a very touchy subject for him and he wouldn't mind getting rid of that house, which has left most of its members Worried.
  • Also present in Dodging and Defensiveness.

  • Rivals: Apollo, Achilles, Siegfried
  • Enemies: Fenrir, Jörmungandr, Surtr, The Divine Powers, Chernabog, Dark Gaia, Molag Bal
  • Complicated Relationship: Loki, Freya, Hel, Hela, Kratos and Atreus
  • Baldr is one of the sons of Odin and his wife Frigg, he is the Norse God of Light and Purity. He was known to be very beautiful and was the favorite of the Aesir gods. He had the greatest ship ever built, Hringhorni, and there was no place more beautiful than his hall, Breidablik. He was married to Nanna and they had a son named Forseti. After he and Frigg had a dream in which they saw his death, Frigg asked everything in creation to promise to not harm him, only forgetting to ask mistletoe, as she thought it was "too young" to swear an oath.
    • The gods would amuse themselves by throwing objects at Balder, knowing that he was immune from harm. However, the blind god Höðr, Baldr's twin brother, deceived by Loki, killed Baldr by hurling a weapon made of mistletoe at him, the only thing that could hurt him.
    • Baldr was ceremonially burnt upon his ship and, as he was carried to it, Odin whispered in his ear. The dwarf Litr was kicked by Thor into the funeral fire and was burnt alive. Nanna, Baldr's wife, also threw herself on the funeral fire to await Ragnarok when she would be reunited with her husband. Baldr's horse with all its trappings was also burned on the pyre. The ship was set to sea by Hyrrokin, a giantess, who came riding on a wolf and gave the ship such a push that fire flashed from the rollers and all the earth shook.
    • After Baldr's funeral, the messenger Hermod was sent to Hel to deliver a ransom to the goddess of the same name, to ask for Baldr's return. Hel promised to release Baldr from the underworld if all objects alive and dead would weep for him. All did, except the giantess Þökk (who was believed to be Loki in disguise), who refused to weep the tears that would release Baldr from death.
    • Thus Baldr had to remain in the underworld and his death was the start of Ragnarök: The death of the Norse Gods and end of the Nine Realms. However, it is known that after Ragnarök, Baldr and Höðr would come back to life and be reconciled, and rule the new earth together with Thor's sons, Möði and Magni.
  • The arrival of Baldr into the Pantheon was met with joyous and loud celebration among the Aesir, as many of them are destined to die during Ragnarök prior to his resurrection and thus would never have gotten to see him again otherwise. They accompanied Baldr to his temple, which was modelled after his hall, Breidablik, in which they all continued to party for several days. Later on, Baldr also wished to see Höðr, Nanna and Forseti again, and subsequently appointed them as his heralds. After sharing a tearful reunion, Baldr gave them a tour of the Pantheon.
  • Due to the nature of the Pantheon, Baldr exists as a composite of his various incarnations throughout different universes, although his default state is that from Norse Mythology. He's been known to occasionally manifest as a cybernetically enhanced human and a disheveled guy with tattoos all over his body.
  • He'd rather not talk about the time that he got turned into a lawn gnome and was subjected to the indignities of being stolen by drunken college kids and carried around the world to take pictures of landmarks. He prefers it when people bring up the time that he gave up his second chance at life in order to save the world.
  • Being a benevolent god of light, Baldr gets along very well with Ezalor, Sora and Hikari Yagami. After learning of Kari's past hardships, Baldr has become quite protective of her. He also managed to befriend the similarly named Father Balder, who was pleased to share his name with someone so kind. Baldr has since regularly teamed up with all of them to fight against the various creatures of darkness in the Pantheon.
  • His purity resulted in him getting along with Ventus, Sir Galahad, Kenzo Tenma and Bell Cranel. Baldr was surprised to learn that Bell was familiar with Loki, although he only seemed to know of Loki as a woman.
  • He quickly managed to strike up a friendship with Superman, who is similarly known for his incorruptible purity and only being weak to one specific substance. The two have since regularly teamed up.
  • Baldr has a rivalry with both Apollo, a fellow god of light, Achilles and Siegfried, both of whom are also well-known for only having a specific weakness. Apollo is somewhat annoyed by the adoration that Baldr receives, mostly because people often keep comparing the two to each other. Achilles was happy to meet a Worthy Opponent who is similarly near-indestructible, although it has resulted in their sparring matches generally ending in stalemates. While Siegfried also occasionally spars with Baldr, the two tend to often team up and somewhat view each other as family due to Siegfried being descended from Odin.
  • He's understandably on bad terms with Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Surtr, each of whom is destined to cause much misfortune to the Aesir. The fact that the former two are Loki's children doesn't help matters. He also opposes the Divine Powers, a cabal of ancient gods who seek to regain their lost power. The fact that a different, more evil version of Odin is a member of the Powers only furthered Baldr's dislike of them.
  • Baldr quickly came to strongly oppose all evil darkness beings, as his light powers and near-invulnerability made a very formidable opponent. As a result, he has frequently battled against Chernabog and Dark Gaia.
  • As the Daedric Prince of Corruption, Molag Bal finds Baldr's very existence disgusting and has been scheming many ways in which he will be broken and tainted, all of which by his own making. Likewise, Baldr himself is firmly against the Daedric Prince and has sworn to protect the Pantheon from his future machinations like many before him and often times has been seen fending off his Daedric servants and other followers.
  • Unsurprisingly, his interactions with Loki tend to be quite awkward. When they ran into each other, Baldr chose to forgive Loki for what he had done, although Loki intially rebuffed his efforts to make peace. However, Loki's more recent desire for redemption and heroism has resulted in their meetings having become much friendlier.
  • His relationship with Freya tends to vary between his various incarnations. Although he's generally on good terms with her, his incarnation as The Stranger has a very strong dislike of her. Identifying Freya as his mother, this version of Baldr lost the ability to feel all physical sensations for over a century as a result of the curse that made him Nigh-Invulnerable, which resulted in him becoming insane. Although he's now aware that mistletoe can render him vulnerable and restore his senses, this version of Baldr of still desires to kill Freya in revenge. However, this once again brought him into conflict with Kratos and Atreus, who otherwise get along with Baldr's regular incarnation.
  • He's on rather awkward terms with Hel and Hela. He doesn't really blame either of them for his experiences in Hel, as he understands that they weren't specifically targeting him. Although Hel is typically attracted to Thor, she did once try to induce Balder to stay with her in the land of the dead by feeding him her food, which Baldr politely declined. Hela, on the other hand, almost married Baldr for tactical purposes, but ended up marrying his lover Karnilla instead. They have remained on awkward speaking terms ever since.

    Celebi 
Celebi, Goddess of Having Many Weaknesses (The Time Travel Pokémon, Onion Fairy, Pixie Time Lord)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20th_anniversary_celebi.png
  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: The GS Ball
  • Theme Song: Wrapped Up In Light
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Gender: Genderless (identifies as female)
  • Ability: Natural Cure
  • Moveset: Leaf Storm, Future Sight, Heal Bell, Recover
  • Portfolio: Psychic/Grass types, Can travel through time, Kryptonite Is Everywhere, Strong in Every Stat, Adorable Yet Tough, Only Available by Events
  • Domains: Plants, Time Travel
  • Followers: Exeggcutor, Abomasnow
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: Dark Danny, Randall Ross, The Four Chaos Gods, Mr. Burns, Looten Plunder, Hexxus, Dr. Weil
  • Opposes: Evil Flame, Ice and Darkness users, The Halls of Ghosts and Toxicity, Groudon
  • Throughout history, there has always been a guardian of the forest. This mythical being is a time-travelling pixie called Celebi, a Psychic/Grass type. Although powerful, Celebi has the most weaknesses of any Pokémon (along with the non-Legendary Snover and Exeggcute lines). In spite of this, Celebi is still a mighty being who is not to be underestimated.
  • While genderless, this particular Celebi in has a feminine personality. She is not be confused with another feminine Celebi, who is shiny. And no, Celebi is not a Fairy-type. She still gets along well with them, and likes to hang out with the fey of the pantheon.
  • With a 4x weakness, you'd think that Celebi wouldn't get along with bugs. You'd be wrong; as protector of the forests, Celebi is a guardian towards insects. It has formed an alliance with Volcarona, who has used its Power of the Sun in tandem with Celebi's Green Thumb for mass reforestation. Just on the safe side though, Celebi always keeps a Tanga Berry on hand.
  • Celebi has noticed that Shaymin has a number of similarities to it. Together, they serve to protect the pantheon's forests. She tends to stay out of Hoenn due to Groudon, who's Drought/Desolate Land causes her to burn up.
  • Has the ability to purify others of The Corruption and Mind Rape. While difficult due to her numerous frailties, it always manages to restore the user's mind. As such, Celebi has become a thorn in the side of Chaos Gods, and no matter how often they try to kill Celebi she always escapes via Time Travel. The Emperor of Mankind has found her to be valued support because of this. Unfortunately for the Imperium, her abilities do not work on beings born as The Corruption like the Chaos Gods themselves, just those cursed by them.
  • Despite their alliance, Celebi is too intimidated by the 41st millennium to stick around for long. She's more comfortable with Ashitaka. The former prince never sought to obtain a Pokémon partner to fight by his side. However, during one particular battle between the Nature Preservers and the advocates of pollution led by Mr. Burns, things happened in such a way that he ended up in the very gallant position of protecting Celebi from warriors of the polluting faction. Celebi was really quite taken with his actions, and so the time-traveling forest guardian became attached to him. Ashitaka worries about her tagging along with him, though he doesn't have the heart to chase her away and her psychic and nature powers do occasionally come in handy when he gets himself in a pinch.
  • In her own universe, Lugia makes sure to keep an eye on her. It knows what it's like to be corrupted, and can count of Celebi for a cure. And while in theory able to cure the Ice King, Celebi refuses to do so. Thanks to time travel, she knows the crown exists as the ultimate weapon against the Lich's essence and doesn't want to risk bungling it up. Not to mention it's pretty hard to get close to cyromancers when you're a Grass-type.
  • Due to his desire to destroy nature, Celebi is in conflict against Doctor Weil. She also hates Mr Burns and Looten Plunder for polluting with wild abandon, and because he reminds Celebi of Grings Kodai.
  • Has a spot in the House of Time and Space due to her time-travel abilities, where Celebi gets along with the Doctor. For the sake of temporal coordination, Celebi will seek help from Nozdormu.
  • Whenever Celebi travels through time, she creates a time portal that can grant people a vision of the future. This has resulted in the enmity of Randall Ross, who considers this a potential threat to his power. Also he's angry that he missed out on the Celebi event. Her most terrifying and greatest opponent, however, is the malevolent ghost Dark Danny. Existing outside of time, Celebi is incapable of simply eliminating him from history and thus with little defense against him. As her kind has dabbled in saving bad futures, Dark Danny finds her a nuisance and is trying to turn her into onions for the Nasty Burger.
  • As she's capable of seeing if someone isn't in the point of time they're supposed to be, she keeps an eye out for time-travel shenanigans that slip past the other time gods.

    Siegfried (Nibelungenlied / Nasuverse) 
Siegfried, God of Nigh-Invulnerability (Dragon Slayer, Sigurd, Saber of Black, Sumanai, The Sorry-Looking Fella)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fgo_saber_siegfried_4.jpg
  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His heart soaked with the blood of Fafnir, imposed with Balmung in front
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Portfolio: Slayer of Dragons, Permanent Invulnerability Boon, Decoy Protagonist, Legendary Low Tier During Chaldea Struggles, Blood Bath, Balmung, Loyalty, Desire To Help People
  • Domains: Combat, Dragons, War, Heroism
  • Allies: Kriemhild, Jeanne d'Arc, Astolfo, Shirou Emiya, Link, Saint George & Martha, Siegfried Schtauffen, Clark Kent/Superman, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Optimus Prime, Shido Itsuka, Thor
  • Rivals: Karna, Mordred, Achilles, The Dovahkiin
  • Special Relations: Brynhildr
  • Enemies: Fafnir
  • Siegfried is known as one of the famed dragonslayers in myth, where after defeating Fafnir and bathing on his blood, he was granted an invulnerability boon except on a leaf spot on his back. There's absolutely nothing that can graze his invulnerability unless they aim for that one weak spot, or Siegfried himself wills it. For that, the Pantheon ascended him to the position.
    • The position was once held by Lu Bu. Siegfried's response about it was "Sorry." He also apologized for moving the House from Combat to Power.
  • He was quite surprised that Fafnir somehow materialized back in the Pantheon, but he was more surprised that the Fafnir standing before him was... a dwarf. Fafnir was very annoyed that his slayer didn't even bother to check his origin, but regardless, he demanded a rematch after a lot of times training by fighting other Gods. Siegfried believes that it is destiny that they will be locked in combat forever and braced himself.
    • Though there's also a line of people wanting to fight him anyway. In particular, Karna, Mordred and Achilles were ecstatic that this time, they fight against the true form of Siegfried, not a homunculus that took his form. They DO want a full extent of Siegfried's invulnerability, considering a catalyst for a super epic battle.
    • He's also quite glad to see his ally during the Red vs Black faction Holy Grail War, Astolfo. He said that he'll try to see where the homunculus that he gave his heart for (Sieg) went off. With the help of Jeanne as well.
  • He was several times summoned to help out in the troubles of Chaldea. But for some reason, the process ends up cursing him with some sort of weakness that he couldn't perform as well that it reaches legendary status of mockery. Other Heroic Spirits that are at least good understand his plight and suspect that even his invulnerability was infectuous to that 'curse'/'weakness' that it's also invulnerable, and all he could say was "Sorry."
  • The Sword Balmung is known not only for slaying dragons, but also shooting out powerful beams that decimate a lot of things. Therefore, he's a Saber that can shoot beams. Sorry.
  • He has a rather WEIRD relationship with the Valkyrie Brynhild. While he does appreciate her company when fighting together, he had to remind her that he's NOT her Sigurd, despite her thinking they're too similar and starting to love him more and increasing her urge to kill him as a result. And as he remembered it, he knew a Brynhild who was instead a queen of Iceland...
    • That said, he'll have everyone warned that if his wife Kriemhild knows he's 'dead' again, she would unleash hell.
    • Brynhild once invited him to watch something she was actually pretty fond of, together. Siegfried did enjoy it, but if asked if he could recite "Kill da wabbit kill da wabbit kill da wabbit" while swinging his Balmung to recreate the effect of "Nowth winds bwow! South winds bwow! Typhoons! Huwwicanes! Eawthquakes! SMOOOOOOGGGGG!!", especially when there was nothing important on the stake, he'll sternly reply with, "I'm sorry, but no."
  • As the title of Dragonslayer has been taken by The Dovahkiin, Siegfried found himself engaging in a rivalry in those terms with him.
  • He's also friends with the same-named Siegfried Schtauffen, though Siegfried shows his condolences about how the latter ended up possessed by the Soul Edge but now is on the path of atonement.
  • He's a believer of being a Hero of Justice that helps people. For that, he became quite a friend with Emiya Shirou, as they share ideals and there's something similar about that homunculus he saved within Shirou. However, Shirou warned him that his alternate self might not like the idea of being a Hero of Justice that much, especially coming from the same voice.

A hero who helped his future brother-in-law to defile a woman so that she can truly marry her, what caused conflict between her and his own wife. A man who let himself die to prevent further disaster between the two, only for his wife to go to avenge his death, causing more people to get hurt. A hero who in the end only caused tragedies. And the only thing he can say is "I'm sorry".

  • Thanks to a call to arms by Astolfo that noticed that something was wrong with Jeanne with the possibility of being brainwashed by YHVH, Siegfried helped out in investigating the case, which led him to Jeanne Alter who once summoned a 'fake' version of himself and managed to find a clue about the foul play that YHVH used.
