Bodin (ボダン Bodan? ) was the Grand Inquisitor and Archpriest of Lusitania, and a servant of Lusitania's God, Yaldabaoth.

Appearance[]

2013 Manga and Anime[]

Bodin is an old man with a menacing appearance. He is bald and has a thick, grey moustache. He also has dark circles and many wrinkles around his brown eyes. He wears the same chainmail armor as the Lusitanian soldiers.

OVA Series[]

In the OVAs, Bodin has a less menacing appearance. He has a long, neat beard.

Personality[]

Bodin is a fiendish fanatic and bloodthirsty believer of Yaldabaoth, who uses his position and power to indiscriminately kill slaves and all those deemed as heathens to his faith. He does not hesitate to show his opposition to Innocentis' wedding with Tahamine for being an unbeliever, threatening him indirectly and in his presence.

Bodin is ruthless and without mercy, as he tortured Pars's Marzban Shapur during the siege of Ecbatana, and didn't hesitate to push to the death a Lusitanian soldier who showed doubts on burning mere "pagan" documents, as they could have valuable information.

The only part which is stated as not a bad point of his personality is that he is against extravagance.

Despite his sadism as well as his confrontational attitude/behavior, Bodin is also a coward. Despite getting angry with Guiscard, he instantly backed off when threatened with punishment and later flees his own men in a battle when things do not go the way he hoped.
