* HateSink: On top of having a personality that has him be a SirSwearsALot coupled with the many insults he throws, his insults are given an taste of misogynism implying that he associates his hatred of men towards perceiving woman as cowardly people. All while to himself, he thinks of himself as a strong person being the main powerhouse for the Four Heroes Church, when he is really only an overconfident idiot that just has a lot of manpower to back him up.

* CreepyMonotone:

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks:

* TranquilFury: Implied. Though nothing states of the anger he feels towards Roger of Ajax in chapter 126, basing on the few words Commander Cloud directs to Roger is to demand as to what reason the latter did to cause carnage against the Four Heroes Church.

* SoldierVsWarrior:

* VillainousValour: With the one exception of him that ScreamsLikeALittleGirl from a balloon bite, Roger lives up to all his rude proclamations of himself being a mighty warrior, by having the bravery to face down the Vicars, despite [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal getting betrayed and outnumbered by his own men]].

* BunnyEarsLawyer: As much of a complete {{Jerkass}} he always displayed himself to all of his Four Heroes Church colleagues, he is kept around and tolerated by the organization for the great strength and manpower he provides for the battles he participates him.

* SpikesOfDoom:

* MadeOfIron:

* HeroesFightBarehanded: Inverted. Roger is villain that is a SirSwearALot that finds ways to insult both allies and enemies, all while his fighting style resolves around using his fists to punch his foes to death.

* LethallyStupid: His poor tactics to have his soldiers attack the front of the enemy fortifications to make everyone appear flashy for the ]]GloryHound sake of his ego]] in the Great War had caused all of the soldiers, except for Batista, to die.

!Church of the Three Heroes '''(Major Spoilers)'''
[[folder:General]]

%%* AdaptationalBadass:
* AdaptationalHeroism: Zig Zagged. From the original canon of the Shield Hero story, the Church of the Three Heroes were unambiguously evil in actively putting down Naofumi's heroic achievements and took their overly-zealous religion too far. The entire church in command of Pope Balmus and the members were all in agreement to take over Melromarc and needed to be stopped by all four heroes working together. Here in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', while there are some factions of the church have their ulterior motives, there are others who want to be genuinely peaceful, are reasonable in bringing their support to the commoners, and can put their religion aside to work with the Shield Hero's party to face off an undead Scourge.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: From canon, the church as a whole banned the usage of shields, because they do not wish to associate themselves with the Shield Hero in any way. However, by giving up shields, they lose a tactical advantage in fighting, just like how Pope Balmus' defeat in canon was the result of not creating a magical shield. ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'' has the church use shields for a [[BeliefMakesYouStupid tactical advantage and does not wish to waste such a valuable weapon over being too prideful of their beliefs.]]
-->'''Richard:''' Mighty stupid reason to forgo a strategy advantage. [[TakeThat Do you take us for badly written villains in come stage plays, or trashy knight novels for the audience to laugh at?]] Or do you think that the shield fanatics in Siltvelt refuse to use a weapon because their immortal god king doesn't? We wouldn't have beaten back the Siltvelt Invaders, if we were ''that'' stupid.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: The most fanatical and zealous members of the Three Heroes Church are depicted as the most foolish, since the members plan on expanding their influence throughout all of Melromarc, but lack any real tactical planning or straight goals to achieve.
* BigBad: Slowly over the course of the story, the Three Heroes Church loom behind as a background threat behind the minds of the main characters, as the organization is on a race to be the first to claim the Seatto Heirloom. By the time and in the aftermath of the Third Wave, the Three Heroes Church rise up in power as the main villains of ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess''. The organization takes their radical plans into motion by chasing after the remaining members of the Shield Hero's party, scattering apart the other Three Heroes, and subjugating many noble house in Melromarc to further their own goals for power.
* BigBadWannabe: As dangerous of a threat the Three Heroes Church presents itself to the public, their plans and rise to power are expected by many to eventually be put to a stop, since the organization only resorts to taking mindless violence to force everyone into bowing before them. For such a fearsome reputation the Three Heroes Church struck onto everyone, the organization itself became the [[prime target for everyone to defeat, and [[DidntThinkThisThrough no backup plans have been made for any losses]] the Three Heroes Church might suffer.
* BlatantLies: The Three Heroes Church claim to be protecting Princess Melty in their custody and taking care of Aultcray's injuries, but they are really only interested in expanding their influences onto nearby house inside of Melromarc.
* ChildishVillainMatureHero: The more reasonable authority figures of the Three Heroes Church such as Pope Balmus, Logarius, and smaller members who are able to side with Naofumi with no grudges attached are portrayed as heroic people. The more childish and highly fanatical side of the Three Heroes Church are actively against the Shield Hero and are willing to use violent methods to subjugate everyone into their rule.
* HostageSituation: The Three Heroes Church have a boy and their overly zealous followers lure the Three Heroes and their companions into a trap in chapter 111. The Church does so with the intent to turn Bertia and Iris into their own hostages, as so they can pressure their fathers from retaliating against the Three Heroes Church, because of their daughters' endangerment.
* DisneyVillainDeath: The last army of the Three Heroes Church brought to suppress Graile's rebellion meet their doom by Streibough performing a TakingYouWithMe in the form of an earthquake spell to drag everyone down from a great height.
* EvilPowerVacuum: Discussed. After the fall of Biscas T. Balmus and in his comatose state, Cromwell becomes [[TyrantTakesTheHelm the Tyrant That Takes The Helm]] in controlling the remains of the Three Heroes Church. Though Cromwell may be in control, Malty and Uranus don't expect the case to last for long in chapter 105, as there is a chance another greedy member of the church may backstab Cromwell for the position of leader.
* FaithHeelTurn: Most members have gone bad, as the majority of them would much rather stick to their disjointed beliefs and blindly follow Cromwell's orders to expand the Three Heroes Church's influence over Melromarc, rather than practicing the faith that actually makes them good people.
%%* HitlerAteSugar:
* KarmicMisfire: Believing that Naofumi and Mein are in some way responsible for the goddess beating down on everyone in chapter 94, Cromwell and Consevatie convince their church members to go into conflict with each other to blame Naofumi and Mein. Reasonings to think that the event is of Naofumi's fault is Cromwell believing he failed to keep Lautrec under watch and Naofumi is the Shield Devil. Consevatie on the other hand just wants to slander Mein as a coward that ran away from the goddess only interested in killing her.
* KnightOfCerebus: Although ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'' is not really a comedy series and occasionally has its moments where the main characters get into comical shenanigans, the appearance or interactions with the Church of the Three Heroes either downplays or removes any potential comedy in exchange of focusing on the political drama to gain more power.
* PoliticalHostage: An unnamed boy demands with the Three Heroes to hand them over Bertia Ibil Nochers and Iris Lana Amelia to the Three Heroes Church. Iris, sensing something wrong with the boy's demands in chapter 111, she calls out that she and Bertia are likely to be used as a PoliticalHostage against their fathers to not attack the Three Heroes Church, and the reason Katarina is not mentioned is because her father is safe at Cal Mira island.
* SwitchingPOV: Chapter 121 contains the different perspective of different members inside the Three Heroes Church to analyze their thoughts and confrontation with Pope Biscas T. Balmus.
* ZergRush: The knights of Graile that might have been collaborating with the Three Heroes Church choose to enslave everybody in their city by outnumbering every commoner in numbers and not having any strategy beyond quantity. Deconstructed, as it means that Malty, Naofumi, Demitrius, Uranus, Streibough, and Oersted are able to slip through the knights and hide out into Nagumo's dojo in chapter 104.

%%* AdaptationalBadass:
%%* AdaptationalHeroism:
* AdoptAServant: As a last resort to spare the demi-human children found in the liberated slave camps, Pope Balmus as them trained to become servants of the Three Heroes Church to give them the closest depiction of a free life, without angering any of his more unstable followers of the church.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: To expose Cromwell's AmbitionIsEvil motive behind the rash actions committed to expand the control of the Three Heroes Church, Pope Balmus places his words in a way to have Cromwell risk his life under the threat of a NeckSnap if the former has enough faith at the Chief God giving him the necessary rewards to survive.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Pope Balmus very much wants to have Confessor Oliver Cromwell killed in chapter 121 via NeckSnap, but stops himself from doing so to have Cromwell continue cooperating in boundaries with the Three Heroes Church. Once Cromwell finishes living out his purpose, Balmus promises to kill him off in someway.
-->'''Pope Balmus:''' Good. You are a smart man, Cromwell. I shall let you live[[DramaticEllipsis ...]] for now.
* CruelToBeKind: Knowing that there is no other way to give the demi-human babies he found to have a free life, out of the possibility that the followers of the Three Heroes Church might kill them, Pope Balmus has the demi-humans become servants of the church to save them from getting killed.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Zig Zagged. Chapter 121's interlude focuses all on Pope Balmus of the past and present, but it is done through different characters having varying point of views on how they see Pope Balmus in their lives.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: He has a reputation as a powerful fighter of hand-to-hand combat, but his status as an unconquerable person in battle is broken by Lautrec's Goddess defeating him with a stab wound.
* DefiantToTheEnd: The sword of Web!Raphtalia is left hanging on his body, but rather than fully give up and just die, Pope Balmus uses his arms to smash the arm of the goddess that stabbed him with her sword.
* DeusExitMachina: Being the pope of the Three Heroes Church, Balmus has the most control among the organization, as a majority of his followers look up to him, despite some members being more fanatically inclined to hate the Shield Hero. However, due to being put in a coma in the aftermath fight against Web!Raphtalia, Balmus' lack of presence results in Cromwell and Siegmar Isaac Octavius Consevatie taking control of the Three Heroes Church to arrest Naofumi and Malty.
* DramaticEllipsis: Promising to let Cromwell live through chapter 121, Pope Balmus makes the former's allowance to live as an eventual death threat that is followed by an ellipsis.
-->'''Pope Balmus:''' Good. You are a smart man, Cromwell. I shall let you live... for now.
* DramaticPause: In chapter 121, Pope Balmus says nothing for some time at Cromwell's justification that the latter's step in as the regent for the Three Heroes Church and actions taken were necessary for a noble goal. Speculated by Cromwell, he suspects that Pope Balmus' silence is a way to put pressure on his mind, but believes the tactic to be futile, for he [[TooCleverByHalf believes himself to be too smart]].
* EyeTake: Pope Balmus has his eyes be narrowed down as a way to respond to the news in chapter 121 of Master Shirou's shrine, a place that is valued, had been ransacked by unknown individuals of the church.
* AFatherToHisMen: Having been a personal and important figure for both his church and demi-human followers, all of them raged at the goddess that stabbed him with her sword in chapter 94. The demi-humans all decried at the goddess and promised to make sure she is killed off right away.
* {{Flashback}}: Starting off chapter 121, Pope Balmus has a flashback looking through the remains of the slave camps in the aftermath of the Great War and choosing to spare the remaining demi-human babies as servants of the Three Heroes Church to give them the closest of a free life.
* FriendToAllChildren: Back at the aftermath of the Great War, Pope Balmus took in the demi-human children born by rape to give them a chance to live with the Three Heroes Church, rather than have them be executed for their association as just children forcefully conceived by the Siltvelt enemies.
* HeroicBastard: Invoked. Whereas the demi-human children born of rape were originally going to be executed, simply by being the child of the Siltvelt enemies, Pope Balmus changed their fates by raising them in the Three Heroes Church.
%%* GoodAllAlong: In chapter 87,
* InstantDeathStab: Downplayed. He gets stabbed right through his body by Lautrec's goddess in chapter 94. While the blade of the sword stab is still on Balmus, he remains DefiantToTheEnd of the situation by breaking the arm of the goddess, before dying to the ground.
* LastDitchMove: As his health is slowly sapped away from the sword stab he got from the goddess, Pope Balmus is able to get a clear accurate shot at breaking the goddess' arm.
* ListOfTransgressions: Greeting Cromwell in chapter 121, Balmus strikes up his conversation by listing down all the actions Cromwell took to further the control of the Three Heroes Church at the cost of many lives lost.
%%* ManipulativeBastard:
* MoreDespicableMinion: While he remains a reasonable leader that is a caring father-figure towards all his slaves, and actively promotes having a peaceful relationship with all of the Legendary Heroes, most of his close followers either have [[AmbitionIsEvil selfish motives for themselves]] to exploit the faiths of the Three Heroes Church, or are blind zealots too focused on their own faith to respect differentiating values.
* MotivationalLie: To give himself hope he is making the right decision in adopting the demi-human babies to become enslaved followers of the Three Heroes Church, Pope Balmus convinces himself that it was necessary for their survival. However, in the back of his mind, he wonders if the life he has given them is only a FateWorseThanDeath.
%%* MusclesAreMeaningless:
* NeckLift: He grabs and lifts behind the neck of Cromwell to intimidate him into submission for his reckless action to take charge of the Three Heroes Church. Holding onto Cromwell's neck, Pope Balmus tests his faith of the Chief God on how willing Cromwell is going to risk his own life at the possibility of a NeckSnap.
* NeckSnap: Balmus places his hand and pressures it onto Cromwell's neck in chapter 121 to pressure the former to no longer make anymore reckless moves, or else he will have him quickly killed by the snap of the neck.
* NotMeThisTime: For some time after falling unconscious under the outer goddess's stab wound, Balmus is blamed by Malty for most likely being the one to have orchestrated the Three Heroes Church's growing influence throughout Melromarc in chapter 108. However, it turns out that within the same chapter's omake, Balmus is still in a comatose, has no involvement with what the Three Heroes Church are doing, and someone else is destroying his shrine.
* NotQuiteDead: Pope Balmus is left impaled by the goddess' sword in chapter 94, yet despite the impalement, he doesn't die right away and uses the last of his strength to break an arm of the goddess.
* PrepareToDie: To shatter the illusion of Cromwell's invincibility and pride as a confessor, Pope Balmus questions if the former is willing to risk his questionable faith and rewards bestowed by the Chief God in tanking a grasp that might result in a NeckSnap.
* PullTheThread: Pope Balmus pretends to be clueless at Cromwell's responses in chapter 121 towards what the latter plans to do with the Three Heroes Church, before finally exposing the latter as a selfishly ambitious person by questioning just how special he is in what gift the Chief God gave him to permit such actions.
* SacrificialLion: Getting stabbed by the Lady of the Sword in the third wave, and being put near the state of death has angered several of his church followers and has alerted the people of the battlefield to really put in their efforts to kill the goddess.
%%* SheepInSheepsClothing:
* SlaveToPR: Though he is compelled by his compassion to spare the demi-human babies in the slave camps, he is forced to have them be turned into servants as the closest way he can grant them a full life, because he can't risk his ToughLeaderFacade breaking, thereby looking himself as an unworthy leader for the Three Heroes Church.
* SoProudOfYou: Despite the disappointment he feels from the rash actions the Three Heroes Church took to antagonize the Legendary Heroes and personal shrine for Shirou, Pope Balmus expresses his proudness to Janne in chapter 121 for her efforts to risk her life to save the Shield Hero from the dangers of the Third Wave.
* TheStoic: Pope Balmus's attitude always has a straight face worn when engaging conversations with people, which allows him to analyze how people act, all while people are left out of the dark on what hidden motives lie inside of his mind.
* TokenGoodTeammate: All while most of the Three Heroes Church use their political powers and numbers of armies to take control of the many noble houses in Melromarc to take their side, Balmus is one of the few people trying to minimize the damage the Three Heroes Church is causing, and wants a stabilized relationship with all of the Legendary Heroes for their future assistance.
* ToughLeaderFacade: He remains strong and rough in wanting to turn the demi-humans found in the slave camps into becoming servants of the Church, so that none of his human followers will not see his merciful and insecure side as a form of weakness to their eyes.
%%* VillainWithGoodPublicity:
* YouDidEverythingYouCould: He expresses sadness that Janne failed to protect the Four Legendary Heroes from the Three Heroes Church and the desecration of Shirou's shrine, but Pope Balmus is nevertheless proud for Janne's efforts to keep the unstable situations under control at the cost of her life.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Sister Amelia's only villainous actions in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' was to deny Naofumi his chance to have access to the dragon hour glass by King Aultcray's order and her reaction to Naofumi's denial is to let out an arrogant smile.

By ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Sister Amelia is a major member of the Three Heroes Church that recurs in arcs that involve her taking charge as a leader.
* BlasphemousPraise: She praises Consevatie as a god for having beaten up Bartfort on his own in chapter 112, even though her faith dictates her to believe that the Three Heroes are the ones that should be on a pedestal.
* DirtyCoward: As soon as trouble in Graile is spurred and she is unable to find suitable evidence to frame Naofumi and Malty as confederates of their real selves, Sister Amelia flees Graile in hopes of avoiding the upstart of a rebellion. When Sister Amelia does return back to Graile in chapter 110, she makes sure to bring an army of the Three Heroes Church as back up to ensure victory and her own safety.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Along with the army she brought back to Graile for a last round to end the rebellion, Sister Amelia is killed by Streibough opening up an earthquake that sends her down the pits of a large chasm in chapter 110.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Exaggerated. In response for the punch she received from Father Gordon and because the latter is refusing to give into her demands, Sister Amelia screeches at her knights and indirectly every knight in Graile to [[LeaveNoSurvivors burn down everyone]].
* EyeTake: Sister Amelia's eyes widened in shock at chapter 108 from witnessing Naofumi debunk her claims of him not being the Shield Hero and for inspiring a revolution in Graile.
* HeroWorshipper: She becomes a worshipper of Consevatie from watching him beat up Bartfort, and giving him BlasphemousPraise as someone who is a god in chapter 112.
* HesitationEqualsDishonesty: In her attempt to discredit Naofumi and Malty from playing their true selves in chapter 108, Sister Amelia at first has confidence in denouncing that Naofumi isn't the Shield Hero if he has no shield. However, Naofumi expecting to be denounced pulls out his imitated buckler shield, and any attempts of Sister Amelia's further deception is only blatant denials with a hesitation to bring confidence to her own lies.
%%* {{Jerkass}}:
%%* KarmaHoudineWarranty:
* LeaveNoSurvivors: She makes an order in chapter 104 to enslave or kill everyone in Graile, as a result from getting a well-deserved punch from Gordon for having stabbed his stomach.
%%* MovingTheGoalposts:
* NamedByTheAdaptation: ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' only had her be a SpearCarrier that only said a few lines and lacked a name in her sole appearance. The fanfic gives the priestess the name of Sister Amelia, as so she is associated to House Amelia and be an AscendedExtra that plays a major role for the Three Heroes Church.
* NotQuiteDead: Sister Amelia appeared to have died in chapter 110 by Streibough landing her to a DisneyVillainDeath in an earthquake. It turns out, however, that Sister Amelia survived the earthquake looking dirty when she returns in chapter 112 steaming with rage for having failed conquering Graile.
* OCStandIn: Being a minor character from her home series, Sister Amelia's only known trait was that she was a SmugSmiler that was proud of denying Naofumi a level-up from the dragon hour glass. At her role in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Sister Amelia's expanded role gives her the personality of an overzealous church member willing to do absolutely anything to uphold the unstable teachings of the Three Heroes Church, at the cost of ruining the Four Legendary Heroes and noble houses.
* RevengeByProxy: From either Father Gordon denying to fulfill her demands or receiving a punch from him for having stabbed the latter, Sister Amelia makes an order for her knights to enslave everyone that is holding out demi-humans or Cultist, as she believes that every person in Graile had made themselves to be just as bad as the Three Heroes Church's enemies.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Rather than to deal with the rebellion uprising in Graile, she leaves all of her church templars and slave fighters to do the fighting, while she takes her time to flee from all the conflict in chapter 109.
%%* SinsOfOurFathers:
* SlaveRace: Invoked. Her words to burn down everyone in the Graile at chapter 104 is to have the knights inside of the city to attach a Slave Crest onto anyone, so as to expand the rule of the Three Heroes Church.
* TeamKiller: Downplayed. Father Gordon, a member of the Four Heroes Church which is a branch of the Three Heroes Church is killed by Sister Amelia in chapter 103 for failure to accept a deal with her.
* ThisCannotBe: Sister Amelia is left in disbelief that Naofumi can somehow imitate a fake shield with his balloons to debunk her claim that he isn't the Shield Hero in chapter 108. Having no more tricks up her sleeve, Sister Amelia can only resort to making denials with no claim to solidify her lies to turn the public away from Naofumi and Malty.
%%* UngratefulBitch:
* VillainousBreakdown:
** She quickly undergoes a breakdown of yelling in chapter 108 as a reaction to the people of Graile rebelling against the Three Heroes Church's, and Naofumi and Malty making their appearances to further strengthen the revolution. All while in the background, Sister Amelia could only deny everything that is happening and make futile orders to fight the rebels.
** In the aftermath of Graile's rebellion, Sister Amelia's reintroduction back into the story at chapter 112 has her rage be let loose to blame Naofumi and Malty for having interfered her attempts to have Graile be taken control by the Three Heroes Church.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: From watching Firo in chapter 96 make several defiant words against Consevatie and the church to stay loyal to Naofumi, Sister Amelia suggests for Consevatie to let the bird die, as Firo is shown to be way too rebellious to be controlled. Consevatie on the other hand wants Firo alive for being a monarch breed filorial.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: In her praise to uplift Consevatie as a god at chapter 112, she claims that his will is to cast down all the Legendary Heroes, and anyone who fails to support the Church of the Three Heroes are to be labeled as heretics.

!!Jackson
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 67/Chapter 56: A Song of Hate and Prejudice

* AristocratsAreEvil: He holds a strong belief of all nobles not being trustworthy, since they all hold most of the riches most of the commoners desire to obtain a better life. By hating the nobles, Jackson is compelled to help commoners, and can struggle to get along with noble ranking heroes he suspects to be unworthy to be trusted.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: To shut down anyone's attempts to keep him inside of the Lute Village mine out of their own paranoia he is not trustworthy, Jackson wards off all attempts by claiming he needs to visit the Three Heroes Church at a regular schedule to not alert the organization of anything wrong that might have happened.
* BetrayalByInaction: He gets his Lute Village people that he once saved betrayed, by not alerting them of Consevatie's laid out trap and doing nothing all while the latter gets busy capturing everyone with his goons. Jackson afterwards feels like a RegretfulTraitor for failing to do anything that would save the commoners he holds in high regards.
* TheBusCameBack: He once left the story after working with the Shield Hero's group to fight a group of undead back in Boletaria Castle, but Jackson makes his return again in chapter 117 by having the Lute Villagers to sneak away from the rest of the Three Heroes Church.
* BystanderSyndrome: Downplayed. He gets accused of doing nothing in Lute Village, all while Father Caleb and the rest of the Three Heroes Church members went around the village enslaving all of its women. However, Jackson does eventually perform his HeroesFrontierStep once out of the danger, as while he wants to save the commoners, he does not want to do so as a way to get easily killed by the church.
* EtTuBrute: Downplayed. Fulfilling his BetrayalByInaction to do nothing or to inform anyone of the fake Vicar Vittorio plot Consevatie made, Jackson is ashamed to have hurt Raki's idolization for him.
* HeroesFrontierStep: He is cemented as a hero different from the blind zealots of the Three Heroes Church by being the only one in Lute Village to have made the act to lead the remaining villagers into a mine they can hide away.
* InternalReveal: Mein and Naofumi not knowing what is happening to Raphtalia and Firo as slaves under Consevatie, Jackson's arrival in chapter 117 gives them a summary that Raphtalia and Firo are given an unusually comfortable lifestyle by Consevatie forcing them to live inside of his mansion.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Jackson is partially correct about nobles being self-serving that they ignore or oppress the likes of commoners, which serves as a reason that fuels him to help the commoners in need. However, because Jackson hates rich nobles so much, he can act as a {{Jerkass}} to any high-ranking figure and can be difficult to get along with him.
* RegretfulTraitor: Downplayed. He never made an active effort to betray the Lute Villagers he saved inside of a mine, but he does nothing to warn them or do anything once the Three Heroes Church captures all of the villagers. Failing to live up to his word to protect the commoners, Jackson only feels shame for himself once [[EtTuBrute Raki questions him for not having done anything all while the rest of the commoners are left captured]].
* SelfOffense: Arriving inside of the Lute Village mine in chapter 117, Jackson is suspected to be a member of the Three Heroes Church that needs to be taken down to avoid all the villagers from getting exposed. That is until Raki comes in to break up the conflict between everyone inside the mine to explain Jackson as the one to have saved the remaining villagers.
* SmugSmiler: His words are laced with smugness to deconstruct Mein's attempts to keep him trapped inside the Lute Village mine, as he knows that him going missing would alert the Three Heroes Church of problems.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed. Jack has a distasteful personality interacting with people he does not like, and particularly the nobles, but in the end, he is one of the better members of the Three Heroes Church that protected the Lute Villagers from the organization's cruelty.
* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: He is outraged to find out Consevatie taking the little boys of Lute Village to be executed in chapter 118, since while Jackson never actively helped the Three Heroes Church, he never wanted the innocent people he helped saved be killed from his BetrayalByInaction. Meanwhile, Consevatie disregards the promise he made with Jackson to keep the boys safe in exchange to kill them to hurt both Malty and Naofumi.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Cromwell is seen as an unstable and evil man among the Three Heroes Church, because he prioritizes his ambition to gain personal power for himself over the lives of the people he orders to be conquered. By faith, he uses the excuse of the Shield Hero as the devil and the Three Heroes as hypocrites to expand his own goals.
* BluntYes: He bluntly agrees his actions to further the Three Heroes Church during the Waves of Catastrophe to be necessary, as that being his main response to Pope Balmus giving a ListOfTransgressions in chapter 121.
* ConflictBall: Confessor Oliver Cromwell was the one that started the Church of the Three Heroes to go against the members of itself, so he could have Naofumi and Mein be treated as [[FallGuy scapegoats]] to be used for why Lautrec's goddess came into Medea. Cromwell goes as far as to attack his own church colleagues and demi-human followers to start a riot in seizing everyone of the Shield Hero's party.
* ConflictKiller: Discussed. Confessor Oliver Cromwell taking the path to enslave and kill people that opposes him gives Mein, Uranus, and Naofumi the impression in chapter 116 that he trying to make himself out as an enemy for everyone to fight against.
* EgocentricallyReligious: Being a confessor of the Three Heroes Church, Cromwell sees himself deserving of its leadership afterwards Pope Balmus' comatose state, and expands his superiority over the organization by having noble houses and important nobles be held hostage to slowly submit to his rule.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Implied. As horrible as he may have been to treat Naofumi and Malty as criminals, and being the [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Tyrant That Takes The Helm]] of the Three Heroes Church, it's discussed by Uranus and Malty that Cromwell is not the type of person that would slip down a path of self-destruction to enslave a city of innocent people for no reason.
* FalseReassurance: Despite Pope Balmus seeing his actions to further the Three Heroes Church's control as a ListOfTransgressions, Cromwell frames his actions to him as a noble goal permitted to him by the Chief God to promote their faith. However, Pope Balmus not convinced, and only being alerted of Cromwell's dangerous ambitions, the latter is given a death threat for trying to hide his crimes under a positive spin.
* FantasticRacism: Cromwell views the demi-humans on the Church's side to be beneath his respect, and most importantly towards Balmus' care for them, Cromwell believes himself to be more fit to be a more personal candidate for Balmus to talk with first, instead of having to be delayed by the comfort of the demi-humans.
* TheFundamentalist: Believing himself to be a necessary leader for the Three Heroes Church after Pope Balmus' coma from his sword stab, Confessor Cromwell takes charge in following the strictest protocols of the Three Heroes Church hating the Shield Hero. Though there are lessons such as extending Strength, Truth, and Justice to enemies, Cromwell ignores such teaches to focus himself on viewing Naofumi and all of his parties as criminals that are in someway, responsible for Web!Raphtalia's arrival. Any person that opposes him, and his own church colleagues and demi-human followers, Cromwell treats them as an enemy where he is willing to put weapons near their heads.
* InsultToRocks: He is described by Richard as a insane narcissist so selfish that it would make Vicar Lawrence, a person who is far from a saint, look good in comparison to what Cromwell is as a person.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Preparing himself for confrontation with Pope Balmus in chapter 121, Cromwell believes himself as someone important enough to have his messages and actions be directly addressed to Balmus on a personal level, instead of having his own FantasticRacism flare up from Balmus valuing his demi-human followers more.
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: He notices that while he may have been called to confront Pope Balmus to speak of recent events, no sound was made next to his ears, indicating to Cromwell that Balmus had received his information from the demi-humans first, before he himself could relay the information to Pope Balmus.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After spending much of his time off the frontlines to conquer noble house and getting away from his crimes to actively antagonize all of the Legendary Heroes, Cromwell's leadership is put to a halt by Pope Balmus threatening him with a NeckSnap if Cromwell were to take his ambitious actions too far.
* NeckSnap: Being held in a NeckLift at chapter 121, Cromwell is given a death threat by Pope Balmus of his neck getting possibly snapped by the latter's pressured hands as a way to test his willingness to believe the Chief God had given him something special.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Cromwell likes to frame his actions as growing the faith of the Three Heroes Church, and seeing what steps are taken to control everyone in their faith as necessary steps. However, behind everything he did, all of it was motivated by Cromwell's own selfish ambitions to increase his position within the Three Heroes Church and have more people follow him without question.
* ObliviouslyEvil: He interprets all the actions he has taken to discredit and kill both Princess Malty and the Shield Hero as necessary steps to expand the faith of the Three Heroes Church, all while Cromwell ignores the innocent lives he had taken and his end goal only appears to be a way to satisfy his lust for power.
* PrinciplesZealot: The huge part of the Three Heroes' faith is that it holds a strong hatred to those being the Shield Hero, and because of this part of the faith, Confessor Cromwell is actively taking measures to blame Naofumi for supposedly being the one responsible at bringing Lautrec and the latter's goddess into Medea. Confessor's faith to the church has reach borderline levels of insanity, as while the church hates the Shield Hero, one of the main teaching the church still provides to always prioritize on Strength, Truth, and Justice, even if the enemy may be unlikable.
* PsychoticSmirk: Feeling as though he is able to manipulate Pope Balmus with the FalseReassurance portrayal of his actions to pressure him in chapter 121, Cromwell feels a smirk creeping up his face, before pushing it down for a cool attitude.
* SayingTooMuch: By claiming his actions as righteous in expanding the control of the Three Heroes Church, Cromwell had unknowingly revealed his true intentions to gain more power for himself. At that point foward in chapter 121, Pope Balmus finishes [[PullTheThread Pulling The Thread]] and has Cromwell be put on a NeckLift to stop pushing his destructive actions.
* TeamKiller: Downplayed. He doesn't kill the demi-human followers, but because Cain and Mittelt choose to not follow his orders to capture the Shield Hero immediately, Cromwell shocks them with their slave crest for defiance.
* TeenHater: Primarily at the Four Legendary Heroes, he sees them as nothing more than children given absurdly powerful weapons that can't grasp his grandiose plans to expand the Three Heroes Church's influence.
* TooCleverByHalf: Believing himself to be competent player knowing the rules of the game of thrones and the manipulative wordplay, he pushes his FalseReassurance of his actions too far that it ends up exposing his ambitious motives to Balmus in chapter 121. Once he gets his true nature exposed, Cromwell is left on a NeckLift where he [[VillainsWantMercy begs mercy to Pope Balmus]].
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After Pope Balmus is severely injured from his sword wound from the goddess and is out cold, Confessor Cromwell takes it upon himself to become the main leader of the Three Heroes Church, despite not being a vicar. As the regent, Confessor Cromwell prioritizes his leadership to hunting down the Shield Hero and all of his companions under his control, and to any opposition, including members of his own faction are arrested on the spot.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Believing himself as a leader that needs to take up the mantle of Pope Balmus, Cromwell wants his rule and orders to be absolute in capturing the Shield Hero and all his companions under suspicion they are related to bring Lautrec's goddess. Everyone opposition Cromwell is met, he chooses to treat them all as enemies to be arrested and be held as hostages, and it includes even his own church members that don't follow his mind of thinking.
* VillainsWantMercy: Spending his interaction with Balmus being TooCleverByHalf, Cromwell's confidence to outsmart Balmus by his charisma is put to question of his ambition exposed by the latter giving him a NeckLift under the threat of a NeckSnap. Terrified of what Pope Balmus might do, Cromwell begs for forgiveness of his eagerness on rapidly expanding the Three Heroes Church's control.
-->'''Confessor Oliver Cromwell:''' Please, forgive me for my overeagerness to please. I... I only live to serve you and our Lord. Your Eminence.
* YoureNothingWithoutYourPhlebotinum: He sees lowly of the Four Legendary Heroes, as he believes their greatness is wasted, because none can comprehend that big picture plans he has in mind, and the strong reputation they have is based primarily on their weapons. Without the Legendary Weapons, Cromwell only sees them as childish adults.

* ExactWords: His boss, Cromwell, ordered him to "protect" Lady Silvia at all cost, but knowing Cromwell, Commander Monro is aware that the order meant was to put Lady Silvia into a HostageSituation and gain leverage over the monastery. As a chance to exploit Cromwell's order and remain strong in keeping the faith of the Three Heroes Church as righteousness, Monro takes the order in a surface-level interpretation by allowing the monastery to keep Lady Silvia if they believe they can keep her safe with their own strength.
* FalseReassurance: Subverted. When asking the monastery for Lady Silvia to be handed to him, it appears as though he has malicious intentions to turn her into a HostageSituation under the guise of protection. When denied to have Lady Sylvia as an option, Commander is surprisingly content with the answer, as it turns out he really did want to keep Lady Sylvia safe and was only using the ExactWords of the orders Cromwell wanted him to fulfill.
* {{Foil}}: To the rest of the Three Heroes Church zealots confronted in chapter 111, they all use the excuse, that they need Iris Lana Amelia and Bertia Ibil Noches in their side for protection, only just so the two can be used in a HostageSituation against their fathers. In comparison to Commander Monro, he genuinely wants Lady Silvia to be protected from the Three Heroes Church itself, as he willingly allows Lady Silvia to be protected under Rhapsodos, rather than to blindly follow Cromwell's orders to keep her by his side at all costs.
* GoodAllAlong: He at first looks to be a commander that approached the monastery to kidnap Lady Silvia under the FalseReassurance of protection, but it turns out that he meant his word in wanting Lady Silvia to be safe, since he lets the monastery members keep her if they believe themselves to be strong enough to battle the Three Heroes Church.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among the Three Heroes Church who have largely turned away from their faith to blindly follow Cromwell or polarize anyone against the Three Heroes Church itself, Commander Monro acts as one of the few good people in the church. As shown with how he follows Cromwell's orders to [[HostageSituation "protect" Lady Silvia]], Monro actually goes on to let Rhapsodos protect Lady Silvia instead, because he himself knows that Cromwell' is not actually a good leader for the Three Heroes Church.

* NeckSnap: All while a Shadow talks to Mein on what routes to take to be escorted out of Melromarc, Father Caleb makes his debut by grabbing the Shadow's neck from behind to snap it.
* SlasherSmile: Caleb wears a malicious smirk right after murdering the Shadow in chapter 120, making his intentions clear to capture everyone Madame Dolores is sheltering from the Three Heroes Church.
* StrawMisogynist: He holds a strong hatred for the female gender to an absurd degree, believing them to be taking up the achievements of men, which thereby motivates him to enslave whatever women he sees, regardless if they are human or demi-human.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: He gets a Shadow casually relaying information for Mein in chapter 120 to be immediately killed from behind by a NeckSnap.
* TemptingFate: Casting doubts on how Madame Dolores could possibly hurt him with a quill, Caleb's doubts are defied by the quill heating up to scar his hand.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even before he joined the Three Heroes Church to take control of Melromarc, Caleb was one of the more infamous members for his StrawMisogynist views on women and the many blunt actions he suggested to punish the female gender out of his own belief they are taking away the importance of men.
* TooDumbToLive: He has openly voiced out his opinions to have women be put down at all costs, believing them to be a threat to men, but fails to realize that Melromarc is a matriarchy that puts a lot of value onto the lives of women, which would easily make him out as a charged criminal.
* VillainousDemotivator: His cruelty to have all the women at Lute Village by enslaved by an iron rod burned into their bodies is a reason no member of the Three Heroes Church dares defy him under the threat that they would be killed.

* ChildByRape: The children picked up were the remains of the enslaved humans forced to breed with the Siltvelt demi-humans as a way for a BabyFactory to form quick demi-human ChildSoldiers.
* ChildSoldiers: The church had turned the demi-human orphans after the Great War from 25 years ago into {{Tykebomb}}s that are loyal to them through the teachings provided. By chapter 91, the demi-humans are turned into an army of soldiers used to fight the monsters of the third wave.
* EitherOrOffspring: Any child that has been conceived by either a demi-human father or mother, there is a 100% guarantee that the offspring born is a demi-human, even if one parent is a human.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Regardless if the children had one human parent to birth them, the Church of the Three Heroes discriminates them as animals unworthy of the same rights as humans, so the only life they are given is to be adopted into servitude.
* SlaveCollar: Mittelt and Cain are shown to have a slave seal be attached on their bodies for choosing to object with Cromwell's orders to have the Shield Hero and all his companions be detained. Even if the demi-humans are loyal followers of the Church, the higherups still see them as animals to be enslaved at the possibility of being questioned.
* ShockCollar: The demi-humans may have their loyalties set to the Three Heroes Church, but the higherup members have them be wearing a SlaveCollar that can shock them for their disobedience.
* {{Tykebomb}}: In chapter 91, it's revealed through Mein's observations that the Church of the Three Heroes had been taking demi-human orphans that were left over from the Great War that was 25 years ago.

* NoodleIncident: He once had a tussle with Mala back in the Great War, and was even feared in the name of [[RedBaron War Dog]]. However, whatever fearsome reputation he had in the past eventually diminished, and no exploration of who Roger used to be is never explained, as a result of his death in chapter 120
* RedBaron: Roger had a terrifying name back in the Great War where has known as, "War Dog", not much is elaborated on how he got the name from.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He screams with a loud screech from a bite of a Yuzu that disrupts all his masculinity he initially displayed insulting everyone.
* SirSwearsALot: Plenty of his dialog to insult someone is to call them in derogatory terms to make them look like they are too weak to stand up against him.
* TalkToTheFist: All while Uranus is left in disbelief monologuing on why he would betray the purpose of the Four Heroes Church to join with the Three Heroes Church, Roger delivers a punch to Uranus' face to knock him out from speaking anymore words in chapter 118.
* ThinSkinnedBully: He can dish out beatings or yell out casual profanities like a SirSwearsALot, but just a bite from one of Naofumi's balloons in chapter 118 is enough to have Roger of Ajax to ScreamsLikeALittleGirl.
* WhamLine: Roger reveals crucial information regarding Mala's past life as being Siltvelt's Strongest Tiger, before DefectingForLove to eventually serve King Aultcray and Princess Malty.
-->'''Roger of Ajax:''' What's the matter, 'Strongest Tiger' of Siltvelt? Why are you trudging through shit like common rat now? Going through all of this shit. Did the king spare you a second glance? Was it worth it for you to defect from your country of animals to pine for his attention, only to end up being used as a glorified servant by him?
* WouldHarmASenior: Roger drives a powerful punch onto Uranus, who is an old, retired battle priest, and such a punch gets the latter knocked onto the ground in chapter 118.

%%* CompositeCharacter:
* ItsProbablyNothing: Played for Laughs.

Mein, upon being noticed, is panicking at the thought of being caught. Luckily for Mein, Lord Commander Cloud quickly dismisses her as just a person and thinks that his paranoia may be affecting his judgement.
* OccultBlueEyes: To signify his status as a SoleSurvivor against the Siltvelt Invaders and as a Seer, Lord Commander Cloud is frequently mentioned of his blue eyes glowing.

!!!'''Origin:''' ''VideoGame/LiveALive''
[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uranus_1.jpg]]

* ArmorPiercingResponse: In chapter 116, Uranus shuts down Naofumi's suggested idea to deconstruct the theocracy of the Three Heroes Church as a way of beating them by answering him that going through with that plan would result in a deadly religion war and his own name as Shield Hero getting labeled as a heretic.
* EscortDistraction: To stop Mala from wasting her skills to volunteer herself as the decoy for the Three Heroes Church to be lured by, Uranus stands himself to be the one that should be the decoy for the Three Heroes Church, believing his skillset as a person falls short compared to Mala.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Feeling too tired to continue running alongside his group, Uranus stays behind to collapse the ceiling of the sewers to substitute his lack of stamina to follow up with all of his companions, as he does not want his presence to slow them down on their escape in chapter 120.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Uranus, who is the main guidance and navigator that connects Malty, Naofumi, and Oersted to many close connected allies is the one that has to die for their sake to escape all of their pursuers in chapter 120. Before leaving his allies on their own, Uranus lays his [[PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye last words for them to remember their best times together, and not be filled with rage to sour their life]].
* MomentKiller: While Mein is left drifting in her thoughts in chapter 113 about herself probably losing interest at Naofumi's end goals to settle his hero life with her on Samphor, Uranus interrupts her deep thinking by asking where she plans on travelling with Naofumi.
* MoreExpendableThanYou: He has himself be the volunteer for collapsing the ceilings of the sewers in chapter 120, as he believes himself to be only useful for fighting the current enemies, instead of Mala having better stamina for better versatility to help the group.
* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: Anytime time his allies come across a person they have no knowledge of, or need to find someplace for assistance, Uranus is likely to be the one sharing close connections with that person, due to his old age going through adventures with them in the past.
* PreSacrificeFinalGoodbye: Just before [[TakingYouWithMe takes all of his enemies to die]] inside of the sewers, Uranus gives a last piece of advice for Naofumi, Mein, and Oersted to fill their hearts with happy memories of their companions, instead of having the hatred of their enemies consume them.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: For all of Streibough's attempts to invade Sophia and Siesta's personal privacy, Uranus scolds Streibough for putting down others just to [[SmugSnake flaunt his own intelligence]] in chapter 105.
-->'''Uranus:''' And you (Streibough)! You need to stop ''flaunting'' your intelligence, and respect other people's secrets!
* SomeoneHasToDie: Cornered by the Three Heroes Church members from letting anyone leave the sewers, Uranus takes Mala's place to hold down the pursuers by using all of his powers to [[TakingYouWithMe take all of the enemies down to death with himself]].
* SpySpeak: When speaking with Mein in chapter 113 of her intended destination to go to, Uranus follows in her SpySpeak by pretending to make a mundane chat of her pilgrimage as Sophia of Totela, while revealing the important destinations she wishes to go with Naofumi.
* TakingYouWithMe: As a last resort to block off and kill all of the groups' pursuers in chapter 120, Uranus stays in the sewer to have its entire ceiling collapse on any remaining enemies to die with him.
* YouShallNotPass: Uranus stays behind inside of the sewers, all while his group escapes on top of the Melromarc streets, so that he can collapse the entire structure of the sewers to kill all of the remaining pursuers.

* EnhancedPunch: He used a miracle that turns his punch into a golden color to effectively punch Sister Amelia hard enough that she flies across a room.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: His miracle to give himself a EnhancedPunch is by turning his fist into a golden color.
* KilledOffscreen: He was last shown fighting off Sister Amelia and her two knights, before a few chapters pass on for characters to relay his offscreen death.
* LastStand: Knowing he won't survive the knife wound on his stomach and that Sister Amelia's knights will eventually go after Demetrius and the latter's allies, Gordon chooses to fight to fight the knights, until he finally tires out.
* MadeOfIron: Downplayed. The knife stab he received from Sister Amelia does stagger him a bit, but Father Gordon refuses to give up completely and resorts to making a LastStand in facing off all of Sister Amelia's knights to buy time for Brother Demetrius to escape.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: In preparation to face off the knights in chapter 104 and distract them from following Brother Demetrius, Gordon announces himself as the main opponent for the knights to fight.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: The punch Gordon delivered to Sister Amelia's face was enough to send her and two of her knights to be flying across the room that they were in.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: In his discussion with Sister Amelia as to accept her demands, Gordon's refusal to follow through what she wants results in Sister Amelia getting so agitated that she stabs him by [[WeHardlyKnewYe the end of his introductory chapter]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets introduced in chapter 103 to have a brief chat with Uranus in bringing over an army to assist Sophia and Siesta (Naofumi and Malty in their disguises) to complete their pilgrimage. Gordon is then afterwards led to a room by Demetrius to be stabbed in the stomach by Sister Amelia, ceasing any further characterization on Gordon.
* WouldHitAGirl: For Sister Amelia stabbing his stomach, Gordon in return punches her face as a means of retaliating, and he shows no interest that Sister Amelia might not be a fighter.
* YouShallNotPass: Gordon stays behind and refuses to come with Brother Demetrius, as he would prefer dealing with his own knife wound and face off Sister Amelia's knights to buy time. That way, Brother Demetrius can escort his allies to safety.
