Lucifer Slaine Elbard

Lucifer Slaine Elbard (ルシルフル・スライン・エルバード) was the king of the Elbard Theocracy, as well as the pope of the Holy Church, during the age of the Liberators.

Appearance
Lucifer was an elderly man with white hair that extended down to his knees, along with an equally white beard that went down to his chest. He had ash-gray eyes, and droopy eyebrows that hide his mouth, making his expression difficult to read. He also had thin bony fingers.

Personality
Lucifer was a calm individual, while still exuding an aura of authority at his subjects. He was a devout follower of Ehit and was eager to kill all those that would oppose the church.

Chronology
When rumors of the "Saint of the Westerns Seas" began to circulate throughout Tortus, Lucifer ordered Templar Knights Commander Laus Barn to subjugate her and her comrades, as well as visit the outlaw city of Andika in order to ensure that its ruler Baharl Devault would continue his role as a loyal minion of the church in secret.

After the Church's mission in Andika failed, Laus thought that the pope would reprimand him. Contrary to his expectations, however, Lucifer acted indifferent to this loss and did not punish him.

After the mission in Andika revealed the existence of the Liberators to the world, the leaders of the Holy Church were discussing on how to best to confront them. Lucifer arrived sometime later 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 leadership 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 person with Ancient Magic and bring them to their cathedral.

After the meeting, Lucifer met with Laus in private, along with Ainz and Paladins Commander Darrion Kaus, and revealed that the other person in possession of Ancient Magic was among the demons. Furthermore Lucifer explained that this revelation would lead to an eventually outbreak of war between the two races, much to Laus' surprise, and claimed that it was the Demon's Lord's existence itself that was what drove his people to war. Lucifer then confided his confidence in Laus to be able to bring the church victory for when such an event would occur. Laus was hesitant after hearing such a revelation, but vowed to give it everything he had for when such a war would occur. Afterwards, Lucifer and his entourage left Laus.

After Laus defected from the Holy Church, Lucifer assigned an assassination squad to track down and kill him, among them were Laus's two older sons Kaime and Selm. In the end, however, they failed in their objective. Afterwords, Lucifer conferred with the apostle Hearst in order to determine their next move, to which Hearst decreed to give Laus's sons another chance, in order to provide Ehit more entertainment. Lucifer expressed joy that his god was satisfied with the current situation. Hearst then told him to prepare for the Liberators's attack against the church, and ordered a member of the Paladins that was guarding the pope to have her forces capture a list of the their allies that Hearst gave her telepathically, to use as bait. Lucifer then departed in order to attennd a meeting with the other members of the church. The paladin was about to follow hm, but Lucifer told her to focus on her mission.

One month after the church's paladins captured their targets, on the day that they were to be executed, Lucifer prepared his forces for the Liberators's immanent attack against them in order to rescue their comrades. As they gathered in the church's throne room, Hearst, along with ten more apostles, suddenly appeared through a pillar of light. Lucifer reported the situation to Hearst, to which she expressed her approval and then ordered everyone to carry out their duty for Ehit's entertainment. In response, Lucifer solemnly praised Ehit.

Ehit
Lucifer was utterly devoted to humanity's god. He is fully aware that he was merely Ehit's pawn, but was still willing to perform his duty in the name of his god.

Laus Barn
Prior to Laus' betrayal, Lucifer placed great stock in his abilities as leader of the Holy Church's Templar Knights, as well as someone in possession of ancient magic.
