Valerian Trifa, bearing the epithets Christof Lohengrin and the Divine Vessel, occupies the Third Seat of the Obsidian Round Table in the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. As Representative of the Golden Beast and Acting Commander during Reinhard Heydrich’s absences, his near-indestructibility stems from hosting Heilige Eohl—the corporeal vessel of Heydrich himself. Only Machina and Ren Fuji, wielding Ein Faust Finale-level power, can breach his defenses. This symbiosis stripped him of his former ability to discern others’ true intentions, a loss offset by his augmented resilience. Driven by a paternal bond with Rea Himuro, whom he regards as a surrogate daughter, he maneuvers to spare her from sacrificial fate, tempering his allegiance to the Orden’s apocalyptic ambitions with clandestine defiance. In combat, he wields the Holy Lance, though its deployment risks exposing his vulnerabilities, reserved for dire straits. His Briah, *Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin*, bends reality through operatic grandeur, channeling golden swan motifs and Wagnerian theatrics from *Lohengrin*, lines from which he recites to invoke its power. Mirroring his real-world inspiration—a Romanian priest implicated in anti-Semitic violence, pogroms, and postwar efforts to resurrect the Holocaust—his narrative persona intertwines historical darkness with supernatural mythos. Outwardly, he presents as a closed-eyed, bespectacled figure with blonde cascading hair, draped in priestly vestments that underscore his dual identity as spiritual facade and zealous enforcer. Within the Orden’s machinations, his arc oscillates between unwavering loyalty to their cataclysmic ends and clandestine resistance shaped by personal ties, casting him as both architect of ruin and tragic dissenter. This duality, coupled with his Wagnerian mystique and warped invulnerability, cements his role as a paradox within the saga’s tapestry—a defender of twisted ideals haunted by the vestiges of humanity he struggles to suppress.
