List of characters of the "Trinity Blood"

ANN reviewer notes great color work. Even when the characters in the middle of the plot go to black costumes, the richness and texture of the image remain impressive. In the depiction of female characters, the authors tend to have elongated, strict faces with pointed chins, which makes the characters enjoyable. Male characters are definitely far superior to the average level. An example of this is the Abel-looking famously, no matter whether he is serious or plays the fool ^[1] . As another reviewer notes, the characters of the “Blood of the Trinity” are living enough to be distinguished from each other. However, their images remain extremely flat. For example, Abel is absolutely no different from any other clumsy and at the same time all-knowing character. Also, in some scenes, character animation is lame - the movements of the characters may look as if they do not move on their feet, but roll on wheels ^[2] . Finally, from the point of view of the third reviewer, both the characters and the costume designs are borrowed from previous works starting the Kiddy Grade and ending with the Chrono Crusade ^[3] ..

Leaders

Pope Alessandro XVIII

Born in the year 3044. The 399th Pope at the head of the Vatican. He is the legitimate son of the previous Pope Gregory XX and the daughter of a noble aristocratic family Colonna. Alessandro falls to Francesco and Caterina, his stepbrother, but unlike his determined brother and sister, he is very timid and weak in nature. Five years ago (regarding the events described in the anime) a conflict broke out in the Vatican over who would be the successor of the deceased Pope. Alessandro managed to defeat his main opponent Alfonso d'Este and become the next pope. This happened thanks to the political machinations of his stepbrother and sister, and also because he is the direct heir of the previous Pope. However, Alessandro himself was not looking for this title for himself. Yes, the surrounding people show him due respect and call him “your holiness” only, but at the same time, many people themselves mock Alessandro and consider him only a doll in the hands of Catherine and Francesco. And this is the most true. Alessandro himself hates himself for hiding behind the backs of Francesco and Caterina all the time, and from this the burden of the highest position in the Vatican makes his heart even worse.

Francesco di Medici (Herzog of Florence)

Born in 3029 Head of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Herzog of Florence, Cardinal, stepbrother of Alessandro and Catherine, in the Vatican he occupies several key posts at once: Head of the Sacred Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Commander-in-Chief of the Holy Church and Counselor of the Pope for Theological Issues. Francesco is a strong believer, he is an idealist, and selfish motives are alien to him. On the other hand, he is a supporter of the teachings of Machiavelli, and therefore seeks to achieve his goal by any available means. He pursues and preaches a very cruel policy. His goal is to show the whole world the absolute power of the Vatican, the only conductor of God's will on earth. Vera Francesco is unshakable. He is a stubborn man, not inclined to compromise. Turning Pope Alessandro into his puppet, Francesco has full power in the Vatican, so such a moderate person like his sister Katerina only prevents him. The world he craves to build is a world in which the Vatican establishes orders, and in which there is no place for the long-lived. Francesco’s position is appealing to many, so the Duke of Florence has many supporters both inside and outside the Vatican.

Caterina Sforza (Duchess of Milan)

Born in 3036 year. Katerina is the half-sister of Alessandro and Francesco di Medici (they had one father). At the time of the beginning of the anime, Katerina is 24 years old. She is the head and founder of the AH. Alessandro admires his sister and largely relies on her support. Francesco is always in conflict with Catherine over power. Officially, Katerina is Cardinal, but in fact it is she and Francesco who have all the power in the Vatican. Abel sometimes calls Katerina "a cruel and heartless boss," but in fact their relationship is much deeper and more complex. Katerina met Abel when she was 14, he saved her from vampires who destroyed her entire family. Katerina has romantic feelings for Abel and is very jealous of Esther (in the manga and in the novel). At the end of the manga, it turns out that she is seriously ill, and she has very little time left to live.

Agents AH

Abel Nightroad (Krusnik 02)

Born (actually, born - this is not quite the correct definition, rather grown / created) in 2088 in London. Authorized Executive of the Special Department of the Ministry of the Holy Church of the Vatican. Abel is the Vatican Priest. For some reason, he is always hungry, and the lack of money turned into a personal curse, because regardless of the circumstances he always has four dinars in his wallet. It is a great sweet tooth and even sometimes drinks tea with 13 pieces of sugar. Although he has the appearance of a priest, but with his extremely nonchalant manner and awkwardness he gives others a lot of trouble, and sometimes even throws them into shock. In fact, Abel Nightroad is one of the few authorized performers of the Vatican, an agent of the Ministry for the Affairs of the Holy Church. His codename is Krusnik. When Abel is convinced that he is left alone with the enemy (Abel is ashamed of his strength and tries to hide her from strangers), he activates the Krusnik-02 nanomachines inside him, which make the wandering priest into a creature with combat abilities far greater than those of vampires . His body is able to spontaneously generate high-voltage discharges, which is the basis of its strength Krusnik. Can also use a blood spit in the melee.

In May 3064 Esther crowned the throne. Esther has a sister, Mary Spencer, who herself would not mind taking her sister's throne. Esther is always benevolent to people, mercy and sympathy are peculiar to her.

The character of Esther in the anime, in the manga and in the novel is very different from each other. If in the anime it is modest and quiet, then in the novel and manga it can rather be attributed to the type of "zundere" characters. In the manga and in the novel, she also clearly has romantic feelings for Abel, and after chapter 19 she stops being afraid of him. Esther is a pretty smart and smart girl. In addition, Esther knows three languages: high Latin (the most common spoken and written language in the world of the epic), Albion (ie, English) and Hungarian.

When William and his wife were employees of the university, they constantly competed with Isaac Fernand von Kempfer, who also worked there.

The rebellion was quickly and very effectively suppressed, which gave Matthew his nickname - “the Moroccan devil”. He first attracted the attention of the Vatican, and soon after that became a member of the Inquisition.

Also known as the Empire of Methuselah or the Empire of the True Race.

The country of long-lived, hated enemy of the Vatican. This is the Empire of True Humanity, covering the whole of former Eastern Europe and including Turkey and part of Russia. Power belongs to the long-lived aristocrats of the Empire (bohels). All of them are feudal lords and own territories throughout the Empire. Long-lived, who swear an oath of allegiance to the empress, it is forbidden to harm the short-lived, because they are the property of the empress.

About 800 years ago, the long-lived, fleeing persecution from the Terrans, under the leadership of Empress Vradika, fled to these lands. Vradika revived nature after the Great Holocaust and founded a state here. For 800 years, the nature of the Empire has developed independently of the “external” culture. For the past hundred years, Empire and humanity have coexisted in relative peace. And the reason for this, according to evil tongues, is the weakening of the power of the Vatican; humanity simply does not have the strength to organize another crusade. However, the Empire, superior to humanity in technology, is a source of constant military threat to people.

Ion comes from a noble family and occupies the position of imperial special representative, who executes personal orders of the empress and deals with matters of national importance. This post is the first step in the career of promising young people of the Empire. Like most of the long-lived aristocrats of the Empire, Ion believes that coexistence with short-lived ones is impossible in principle. The special assignment of the empress, with whom he went to Carthage, changed the life of Jonah, and the betrayal of his partner Radu left a deep wound in his soul.

However, a meeting with a short-lived Esther and familiarity with the outside world put Ion on the path of maturation.

Radu Barfon (Baron Luxor)

Dairy brother and an indispensable partner Ion Fortune, Count of Memphis. In fact, the age of Jonah and Radu is not much different. Long-lived do not possess immortality from birth. They are born as well as people grow up, but then as a result of a process called “awakening”, physiological changes take place in them, as a result of which they acquire a long-lived body and turn into vampires. After the "awakening" occurs, the appearance of the long-lived does not change. In Jon, the “awakening” came earlier than in the Rada, therefore, the ion looks younger. During the mission in Carthage, Radha is found to be a supporter of the war between the Vatican and the Empire. He believes that people and the Methuselah should not coexist peacefully, and therefore adjoins the Order of the Rosicrucians, turns out to be a doll in the hands of Dietrich.
