Head Priest of the Fire Temple (火神殿の神官長) is the chief priest of the Fire Temple in the imperial capital.
Appearance[]
In the Anime, the Head Priest is portrayed as a man with short brown hair. He wears a mitre and a white and red vestments.
Personality[]
He appears to not approve of exhibition matches in the Grand Arena that involve battles to the death as it was a waste of life, especially if it involved adamantite adventurers. However he did understand that such a display allowed people to aspire to reach a level of strength.
The Head Priest also appears to view the undead in a negative light, and refused to call Ainz as a king. Though he was not foolish to tempt fate and try to oppose the undead openly.
Background[]
One of the high ranking priest of the Baharuth Empire. After the Massacre at Katze Plains, and the formation of E-Rantel as the capital of the Sorcerer Kingdom, the Head Priest secretly communicated with the emperor on countermeasures against the Sorcerer King. Several months later, the Head Priest received special guests from the Slane Theocracy and housed them at his temple.

- Main article: The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
The Head Priest of Fire, along with his colleague the Head Priest of the Wind Temple, arranged a meeting with Emperor Jircniv and the members of the Slane Theocracy in order to plan an alliance with the aim of defeating the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. The meeting was to take place in the VIP box of the Grand Arena. Before any talks could begin, the arena unveiled its special guest contender Ainz Ooal Gown against the Martial Lord Go Gin. The Sorcerer King’s presence in the arena caused the priests to come to the conclusion that the emperor had betrayed them. The delegation from the Theocracy left in anger despite Jircniv’s pleas of innocence. The Head Priests of both the Fire Temple and Wind Temple were also about to take their leave but were stopped by the emperor. After some convincing by Jircniv, the Head Priests believed in the emperor’s sincerity of the affair, attributing the collapse of the talks to Ainz inhuman wisdom and agreed to perhaps meet again. He and the Head Priest off the Wind Temple then left the VIP room.[1]
Abilities and Powers[]

Formerly an ally of the emperor as they shared a common goal to eliminate the Sorcerer King, after an unfortunate event, the priest came to believe that the emperor had betrayed the confidence of the temples and was in cahoots with the undead. His fury was subsided after Jircniv sincerely pleaded this was not his intent and was still willing to work with Jircniv against Ainz Ooal Gown.
Trivia[]
- The priest is the fourth adherent of the God of Fire to appear in the series.
Quotes[]
- (On the Imperial Arena): "I cannot completely refute that, but the fact is that strength is attractive. This place is probably best suited for letting the people see an example of overwhelming power and giving them a dream of making it their own."
