Introduction
A priest in his early thirties living in a village near the Alt Woods. He lost his parents at a young age and was raised by his older brother, who is also a priest.
His talent as a priest is exceptional, far surpassing his brother's; however, he basically does not follow the code of conduct for priests, indulging in vices such as smoking, drinking, and gambling.However, he doesn't do anything particularly outrageous like breaking the vow of celibacy.
He is very fond of "Onee-sans" (in the narrow sense), claiming that he wanted to become an adventurer when he was young just to find the kind of older women he likes.
He felt regret for not setting out on an adventure with his best friend, "Gorilla the Warrior," but was eventually invited by Frieren's party and joined them with the goal of finding his friend.
In reality, he is a mature adult with common sense, possessing the ability to understand, please, and mediate with others.
Due to his gender, personality, and profession, he takes on the role of a reliable older brother figure and is very invested in the romantic progress between Fern and Stark.The Wingman King
His name originates from German, meaning "his" or "to be/existence."
History
|
He lost his parents at a young age and was raised by his older brother, who is a priest. Hating a mundane and boring life, he wished to become an adventurer and explore everywhere with his best friend, who later called himself "Warrior Gorilla." They even took a commemorative photo that he has cherished ever since, though he never asked for Warrior Gorilla's real name. While eavesdropping outside the room during a conversation between an elderly Heiter, who had come for an inspection, and his brother, he understood his brother's noble intentions for refusing to go to the Holy City and insisting on staying in their hometown. He then began thinking about what he could do to repay his brother. He and his friend listened to Heiter tell stories of his youthful adventures. He took Heiter to see the village's
When Zain reached adulthood, he received an invitation to go on an adventure from Warrior Gorilla, who claimed they could return for the harvest festival in three years. However, Zain declined, citing that he "did not want to leave his brother alone." For the next ten years, he fell into deep regret, a state that his brother also noticed.
While helping his brother collect wild vegetables for the harvest festival, he fell into a swamp in the Alt Woods. This served as the catalyst for his meeting with Frieren; after telling her the story of himself and Gorilla, he was rescued by her. He invited Frieren's party to visit his village, but they stated they needed to reach the next town as soon as possible to restock supplies, so he simply reminded them to be careful of poisonous substances before returning to the village. While complaining to his brother that his new washbasin was too small, he encountered Frieren's party again, who had been forced to turn back because Stark was poisoned. To repay the favor of being rescued, he cured the poison that even his brother could not treat, leading Frieren to recognize his great talent as a priest. His brother hoped Frieren would take Zain along on their adventure, and Stark and Fern also thought having a priest in the party would be convenient, but Frieren felt that the current Zain was very much like her former self who was reluctant to joinHimmelthe Hero's Party, which made her feel somewhat displeased. Consequently, she did not agree immediately, so Stark decided to go and invite Zain himself. When Stark found Sein, he was gambling. He proposed that if Stark won, he would join, but in the end, both lost everything, even their clothes were won by the village chief. He was found on the street with Stark by Frieren and Fern, and told Frieren that he was unwilling to join the adventure. Frieren recalled her own experiences and decided to give Sein a push, so she said, " The group, feeling depressed from the rejections, learned from his brother that he likes older women. While Frieren was complaining about her new sickle being too small, she usedthe move that easily sent Himmel into shock 80 years ago,a blowing kiss seduction attempt. As a result, Sein was completely bewildered and rejected her, seriously explaining his reasons for not wanting to join: his anxiety and fear of the unknown path ahead, and his wish to stay by his brother's side. Subsequently, his brother, who had overheard the conversation, Upon reaching the Alt Region, he found Fern arguing with Stark because he hadn't prepared a birthday gift for her. He remarked that boys all have such careless personalities, and was subsequently hit with a low kick by Fern. He advised Fern to make up with Stark and immediately set off to pick out a birthday gift himself, but soon encountered Fern again, who came to him for advice. This time, he provided her with detailed theoretical basis and practical methods, successfully helping Fern and Stark reconcile.Assist ×1 After the matter was settled, he and Frieren peeked at the two's progress from the roof. Upon learning that Fern came to him for advice because he and Heiter are both priests, he expressed that he felt deeply humbled to be ranked alongside such a great priest, and was praised by Frieren with a head pat.Shipping moment ×1 Arriving at the Vande Forest area, he discovered the Mirror Lotus bracelet that Stark had given Fern. He semi-intentionally explained the flower language of the Mirror Lotus and the occasions for giving such a bracelet to Stark while Fern was within earshot.Assist ×2 Arriving at the Raob Hills area, Upon arriving at the Fortress City of Vrich, because their travel funds were running low, he accepted the local nobleOrden's request, letting Stark and Fern stay in the Orden mansion to learn high-society etiquette. At the social ball held afterwards, he watched Stark and Fern dance together with Frieren.Shipping moment ×2When he invited Frieren, "Shall we go up and dance too?" he received her "I want to eat cake!" Arriving near Rohrer Road, he heard that Gorilla was heading to the trade city of Tür, which was in the opposite direction of the magic city Äußerst where Frieren was headed. He decided to part ways with Frieren's party there, but a sudden cold snap allowed them to stay a bit longer. Near the end of the cold snap, he learned from Frieren that Fern had quarreled with Stark again because she had been startled, so he spoke with them individually to help them reconcile.Assist ×3 In a nearby tavern Saying goodbye to Frieren's party at the crossroads, he lamented how quiet traveling alone truly is.
While searching for Gorilla in the Imperial Capital, Sein encountered Frieren's party being pursued by Shadow Warriors; he treated Stark, who had been hit by a poisoned arrow, and remarked that it was terrifying he was still alive after being hit by such a potent toxin. After things settled down temporarily, Zain recounted how, as a priest, various adventuring parties were scrambling to hire him during his time away, then slammed the table and sighed to the heavens: "But in all those parties along the way, there wasn't even a single 'onee-san'!" After Frieren's party met up with the group from the Continental Magic Association and began exchanging information, he looked at the portrait of the blacksmith Kleis from the Shadow Warriors team, who bore a striking resemblance to his friend Gorilla Warrior; his expression became exceptionally solemn as he suspected whether the person's true identity was indeed his childhood best friend.Unfortunately, you guessed right.. Afterwards, he attended the ball on the final day of the Empire's National Day celebrations in formal attire with Frieren and the others to protect Serie. (To be added) |
