Biography
Mulm was among the highter ups within the Holy Church that took part in an important meeting to discuss their recent defeat at Andika by their newly discovered enemies, the Liberators. When Laus was being criticized by several of the other church's leaders, as having been the one who lead their forces that were defeated, Lilith spoke up in Laus' defense and apologized to him for their behavior, to which Laus expressed his indifference. Mulm tried to encourage Laus to more open when speaking up, to which replied with claiming that he would do his best on that front. That however, did not inspire confidence in Mulm since that was something Laus has frequently said to him. Cardinal Baran Distark then openly critized Laud for his defeat reflecting poorly on the church's reputation. Mulm tried to mediate between Baran and Laus, but the cardinal didn’t back down. Laus then admitted that he lost due to not possessing enough faith and resilved himself to stregthen both is body and resolve for the future. Soon afterwards, Pope Lucifer Slaine Elbard arrived and presented with him a woman named Ainz Arsalk that he claimed was their god Ehit's chosen oracle. Ainz then proceeded to tell the leaders of the church about the members of the Liberators that were in possession of Ancient Magic, as well as revealing the location of one of the last remaining within the beastman nation, the Haltina Republic that was located in Pale Forest. Lucifer then ordered the church to wage war on the republic in order to capture the Ancient Magic user and bring them to their cathedral.

Quotes

 * (To Lilith Arkind): "Laus cannot be brainwashed. Such spells don’t work on him. In other words, the Liberators didn’t brainwash him. From the very start, Laus has been carrying the seeds of heresy with him. He feigned piety while trampling all over Lord Ehit’s eminence. When he was talking to me, when we fought together on the battlefield, he was always plotting this betrayal! It’s despicable. I won’t ever forgive him for it! This whole time, we respected and befriended a heretic! How could he do something so cruel to us?! We were always dancing on Laus Barn’s palm! Isn’t that right, Commander Lilith?!"
