Character Setting

Edit

David Zahler is the captain of the Templar Knights' personal guard. He is deeply devoted to Aiko Hatayama, serving as her protector. While with her, he develops strong feelings for her, just like many other knights. His strong faith in the Holy Church makes him harsh toward demi-humans, leading to major events that change his path and loyalty.

David Zahler is loyal and serious, especially when it comes to his duties as a knight. He cares deeply for Aiko Hatayama and is willing to go to great lengths for her safety. However, his strong faith in the Holy Church also makes him very prejudiced against demi-humans. He often shows strong emotions, making it clear who and what he believes in.

David serves as Aiko Hatayama’s personal bodyguard. Through spending time with her, he develops a romantic crush and tries to get closer to her, just like other knights. His loyalty to Aiko is very strong and affects many decisions he makes.

Meeting Hajime Nagumo and Trouble in Ul Town

David Zahler first meets Hajime Nagumo and his group in Ul Town. During that time, David insults Shia Haulia because she is a demi-human and quickly becomes hostile. Hajime reacts by attacking David, which knocks him out and leaves him unconscious.

Aftermath and Church Conflicts

After the battle in Ul Town, David Zahler starts to question things when Aiko Hatayama suddenly goes missing. He and the other knights confront the higher-ups of the church many times, demanding answers and even beginning a search for Aiko on their own.

Banned and Captured

Because of his actions and constant challenging of the church, David is banned from entering the main headquarters. Later, he is captured with other knights and kept locked up somewhere. This strange luck helps David avoid being involved in the dangerous battle at the mountain of the gods.

The Truth and His Choice

When David learns that the destruction of the church’s main headquarters happened because of Aiko, he is shocked and hurt. Despite his pain, his feelings for Aiko are even stronger. In the end, David chooses to stay by Aiko Hatayama’s side.

  • David’s faith is very strong, sometimes making him stubborn.
  • His prejudice toward demi-humans influences his early actions and behavior.
  • His loyalty to Aiko Hatayama drives most of his decisions even when faced with tough truths.
