Appearance
Eliheid was a handsome middle-aged man with long dark-blond hair and blue eyes. He was usually seen wearing royal robes with a golden crown about 10 centimeters tall.

Personality
Eliheid was a loyal devotee of Ehit. He becomes even more religious after being brainwashed to the point he would dismiss Meld Loggins's concerns about the "Hollowness" of the zombified knights, as well as threaten his own daughter for doubting the Holy Church.

Biography
Eliheid was seen welcoming the summoned heroes where he requested them to fight against the demon race. He then had them provided with various artifacts and instructors to prepare them for the upcoming battle.

After one of the students was believed to have died in Great Orcus Labyrinth, Eliheid did his best to stop the gossip from spreading throughout the kingdom from many of the nobles to avoid upsetting the rest of the heroes. When Knight Commander Meld Loggins wanted to question the students to the cause of the accident, both Eliheid and the Pope forbad him.

Not long after the envoys from the Hoelscher Empire arrived to meet the summoned heroes, one of them challenged Kouki Amanogawa to a duel in order to test his strength as the "Hero". In their duel, Kouki's opponent criticized him for his lack of resolve while fighting and called him weak, to which Eliheid became offended and started yelling at him. It was then discovered by Ishtar that the opponent was actually Emperor Gahard D. Hoelscher in disguise, much to Eliheid's annoyance. The two rulers later discussed affairs of state and Gahard promised Eliheid to offer his support to Kouki and the other heroes.

When Eliheid received the news that the student who was supposedly dead was revealed to be alive while also possessing a tremendous power and various unknown artifacts, Eliheid, together with the Holy Church declared him as heretic due to his refusal to rejoin his classmates and cooperate with them in the war against the demon race.

Some time afterwards, Eliheid and many of the kingdom's nobles began to act erratic and frequently expressed their devotion towards Ehit. It had gotten to a point where Eliheid's daughter was concerned for him, but was reluctant to act after her father threatened to label her a heretic.

When the demons had invaded the Heiligh Kingdom, it was later revealed Eliheid and all of the high ranked ministers was killed by Eri which turned their bodies to become her undead puppets.
