Description
Olba Meyer is a former Archbishop of the Church of Ente Isla, one of its six highest-ranking officials. He is an elderly bald man with gray eyes, standing 165 cm tall and weighing 64 kg.
He trained Emilia Justina to become the Hero destined to defeat the Demon King Satan. During this time, he operated within the Church's corrupt hierarchy, overseeing the brutal suppression of perceived enemies, including the Allied Knights Order and heretics, and directly commanded Crestia to perform executions. Olba harbored deep-seated doubts about the Church's doctrines from an early stage, leading to a crisis of faith. Encountering the fallen angel Lucifer convinced him of celestial beings' existence, transforming his skepticism into ambition and fueling his desire to ascend to godhood or angelic status himself.
This ambition drove his betrayal. He conspired with Lucifer to eliminate both Emilia and Satan, seeking personal glory and power. To achieve this, he created a gate to Earth and pursued them to modern-day Tokyo. There, allied with Lucifer, he employed tactics like terrorizing civilians and collapsing an underground mall filled with innocent people. Initially, he relied on conventional firearms to conserve his sacred magic for returning to Ente Isla, though he later used magic more freely when pressured. His hypocrisy is evident when he condemns Emilia for cooperating with demons while actively collaborating with Lucifer, a point immediately challenged by witnesses.
Olba possesses significant sacred magic abilities, including flight, the creation of interdimensional gates, and the projection of explosive purple energy projectiles. His endurance and magical prowess are considerable for his advanced age, noted by Suzuno as unusually impressive given that powerful magic typically demands high physical stamina.
Personality-wise, he is cunning, manipulative, and ruthless, prioritizing his ambitions above all else. He masks these traits under a veneer of paternal concern for Emilia, whom he ultimately betrays. His motivations stem from insecurity, fear of failure, and an obsessive need for validation through attaining ultimate power. Following repeated defeats by Maou, Emilia, and their allies—including a decisive battle where Maou overpowered three Archangels—Olba suffers a complete mental collapse, described as though his spirit left his body. The Church, under new leadership, formally strips him of his rank and imprisons him.
