Information[]
Damian is a player who was ranked second on the Paladin rankings and was also the top Paladin of the Rebecca Church.[15] He later got the unique rated class Goddess' Agent with Grid's help during the Pope Drevigo episode. Later, Damian became a Pope candidate after the demise of Drevigo and with Grid’s help once again, Damian finally became the new Pope of the Rebecca Church. He currently serves as the Pope of the newly made Overgeared Church after having parted ways with his old religion in the aftermath of the Drasion episode. In real life he is a bonafide otaku who loves animes, mangas and manhwas. He’s also a hardcore fan of the Rebecca's Daughters since he runs a fan cafe dedicated to them on the internet.[16]
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Damian is a kind and gentle person with a straightforward attitude and is always sincere. He’s also pretty resilient and patient as his undying love for Isabel finally made her love him back (Damian confessed to her countless times in the past). As an avid otaku, the shonen manga genre seems to have greatly influenced Damian’s thoughts and behavior.[17]
Story[]
He was the 2nd ranked on the Paladin ranking and 1st ranked Paladin of the Rebecca Church. He joined Rebecca Church because he thought as the biggest church on the continent there must be something special if he joined them (note that following the Rebecca Church is more challenging than the other religions so many user gave up). In the end, he didn't find what he came for but he stayed because he is the fan of Rebecca's Daughters (on another note he is an otaku and built a cafe of Rebecca's Daughters). He tried to protect Rin, a Rebecca's Daughter that is wrongly accused by Pope Drevigo. Due to this, he receives the Goddess' Agent class. Grid helped him protect Rin and killed the corrupt Pope while being buffed and healed by Damian. Also unsealing Lifael's Spear in the process when fighting the Pope which later continued to drain Isabel's life.
The new pope candidate Pascal harasses Damian who tried to protect Isabel because she continuously drains her vitality by using Lifael's Spear. He declared to Pascal that he will become the pope for Isabel's sake. Damian takes on Isabel's mission to eradicate a Yatan Church's base near Reidan in Isabel's stead, in the hope of finding Grid in Reidan because Grid was the ruler of Reidan at the time. He tried to find Grid there to ask for sealing Lifael's Spear but instead of finding Grid he had to work in Reidan for 3 weeks under Piaro's Fun and Enjoyable Training!. Piaro also later tells him that Grid wouldn't be in Reidan for another 3 weeks while asking him in the midst of the quest. Later the alliance of the 7 Guilds tried to attack Reidan but was stopped by Damian, Kraugel, Bland & Piaro. Later during the quest, the Overgeared Guild found him and he explained his circumstances to the guild and made a deal to help him win the pope's election and saving Isabel. After the quest is done he meets Grid. Grid then helped Damian on the Pope Candidate speech with Huroi. Grid sealed Lifael's Spear once again. During the chaos resulting from the attack during the speeches Grid launches an offensive on Pascal, Pascal's father, and the elder priests, this was done in secret. Meanwhile, Grid's doppelganger was disguised as Grid and accompanying Damian thus giving Grid an alibi.
Later, after Damian becomes the Pope of the Rebecca Church, he gets the media attention. His statement in a press conference favored Grid which caused the Japanese right wing to act. Lauel asked Damian to appear neutral but Damian told Lauel he was being pressured by the right wing in reality and by the Saharan Empire which tried to convert Rebecca Church into their state religion. The Japanese right wing tried to kill Damian using the Sakura guild but the guild is massacred by Damian instead. He enters the 2nd National Competition and is defeated in PvP by Grid.
He helped Grid conquer Reinhardt and defeat the 32nd Great Demon Belial. Grid in return helped Damian making Lifael's Spear stop sucking Isabel's vitality. Grid later weakened the divinity but strengthened the spear. While everyone in Overgeared was under the assumption that Grid failed to make an item, in an effort to console him, Damian offers to be his punching bag, while being confident that he is a sufficient tanker to deal with Grid's DPS, thus saying no to applying a duel, however, he grossly miscalculated Grid's damage (born from the new blade Sword Born from Enlightenment and Strong Desires) and wishes to apply for a duel. Damian loses the duel.
He followed the 3rd National Competition.
Damian teaches Lord Steim, Grid's son, divine magic. Lord and Damian follow the banquet in the Vatican then later ambushed. Damian was trapped by a seal created for holding the Pope and the Sealed Holy Sword that was stolen by the Yatan Church. Damian later found a way to escape by killing himself then revived again trying to stop the Yatan Church. After being pressure when fighting Hill, Grid rescued Damian who was about to die, and then killed Hill. Grid struggled then but later managed to reverse the situation by taking the Holy Sword that is stuck on the rock then unsealed it. Damian gets a quest to stop Grid because Grid is corrupting the sword. Grid then gave it back. After the fight, he stopped Grid and Agnus who is about to fight. Grid tried to undo the corruption of the Holy Sword and Damian helped him by telling about the material of the sword and its creator the Blacksmith God Hexetia.
Much, much later, after Grid unsealed the sword, he makes Damian a test subject on his new sword(Blade Aiming at the Gods) that he made after fighting Hexetia in a blacksmithing battle. He became Grid's punching back and lost the duel. After that Goddess Rebecca gave Damian a quest because the goddess pitied him that lose to the same person to many times. The quest is to become the true Goddess's Agent
