Raffles III reigns as the Imperial King of the theocratic Tokyo Empire, where the Holy Sol Temple wields immense power. He possesses an elderly visage marked by a long, braided beard reaching his chest. His attire consists of religious garments: a mitre crowned with a cross, a chasuble covering his shoulders, and an underlying robe. A devout follower of the Holy Sol Temple, Raffles III sees the institution as civilization's vital beacon after the Great Cataclysm. His faith fuels a rigid intolerance towards any opposition to the church’s doctrines. He specifically condemns the residents of Asakusa for worshipping a "God of Destruction" and rejecting the temple’s authority, frequently contemplating the forceful suppression or destruction of their community. During the Preacher Pursuit arc, learning of White Hood activities and the creation of artificial Infernals, Raffles III summoned all Special Fire Force Battalion Commanders. He issued a direct order to hunt down the responsible preacher and halt their plans. Later, in the VS Holy Sol Temple arc, he questioned church members regarding Asakusa’s continued resistance to Amaterasu’s grace. Upon notification of Benimaru Shinmon’s assault on the temple compound, Raffles III escaped through a concealed passage leading to the Netherworld beneath the church. Initially unaware of the Holy Sol Temple’s true origins or its covert ties to the Evangelist, Raffles III later witnessed the Evangelist’s power firsthand. This convinced him the group embodied true faith, leading to his defection to their side. He subsequently followed their directives. His rule places him at the apex of Tokyo’s power structure, overseeing eight specialized fire brigades tasked with combating Infernals while enforcing the temple’s religious authority.
