Lorgon

In the context of the Minecraft series "Crusader," the phrase "Glorificatum altiorum" (translated from Latin as "Glory to the Highest" or "Glory to the Highest") is the main religious slogan, battle cry, and greeting of the members of the Holy Order of the Highest.
Here's a full breakdown of the phrase, its meaning, and how it's used in the universe's lore:

What does this phrase mean?

This phrase expresses absolute devotion and worship to the Higher Ones—divine or higher-order beings in the series' mythology who granted the Crusaders their power, immortality, and artifacts (the holy crosses).
For the knights of the order, these are not just words, but loyalty to their duty, ideals and the source of their superhuman powers.

When is it pronounced?

The phrase is used as the official motto of the Order of the Crusaders and is pronounced in the most important, ritual or critical situations:
• In combat and in the face of death: Crusaders shout it as a battle cry to raise their spirits, when attacking enemies or making a self-sacrifice.
• During sacred rituals: When knighting squires, placing crosses on the body, or conducting church services.
• In formal greetings: Captains, knights and squires may say it when meeting each other as a sign of loyalty to the Order.
• In moments of fanatical madness: As the crosses gradually drive the knights mad, they often repeat this phrase like a mantra, losing control of themselves.

Who is it pronounced to?

• To their brothers in arms: Knights say it to each other (for example, Lorgon, Ivan or Zegel in dialogues) to confirm their shared duty.
• To enemies and heretics: As a dire warning before an execution or attack, showing that the crusaders punish in the name of the Higher Ones.
• To the Highest Ones (in prayers): As an appeal to the heavens or the source of one’s strength in moments of despair or before performing a ritual.

Name: Unknown.
Rank: Unknown.
Abilities: Resurrect the dead.

The Goddess of the Buried is something akin to a god, only unlike God, she is a condensation of all that is dark and evil in this world. Arrogant, narcissistic, and all the other bad human qualities. A bony scum presumably resembling a human (in theory, she has no appearance at all). In the second film, Lorgon told the story of how she saved him from death and mitigated the madness of the cross.

Using precisely her power, Lorgon was able to get even the baron's dead servant to talk, extracting the necessary information from him.

No one sees him, but they can hear him, and only if the Supreme One himself so desires.
— Highest One. As your servant, protect us from the evil that rises from the depths. Protect your faithful children from the sins of those who have witnessed evil. We have seen it in our sinful form. We have felt it with our souls. We have heard its voice, the smell of rot and humus. We have felt and were horrified by its malice. Protect our souls. Do not let us absorb...

A church minister reads a prayer.
The High One is a god worshiped by humans and some Xon. Crusaders are made through his blood. The god's energy, if desired, can be transformed into physical energy over many years. It is the High One who chooses who will become a Crusader.

Every Crusader hears the voice of the Supreme Being. This ability is granted to them with the cross. Crusaders cannot speak to him, and they only hear him when the Supreme Being chooses to. He is first mentioned in the pilot episode. Besides the Supreme Being, the series also features other gods.

Whenever a Goronod appears, the Church sends the Order of the Knights of Dusk. If that fails, at least 15 men are armed to deal with the creature, and few survive.

Lorgon tells Ennon about Goronod.
It's about the size of a human in height and has long, pointed limbs. Its coloring is dark gray, with maroon spots on its belly and the insides of its arms, and a red tongue. Its face is divided into two equal parts, each containing sharp teeth. This bastard's arms and legs are thin, but its head and body are thicker. It moves on both four and two legs.
Can produce a deafening roar/squeak.
One of his main advantages is his fast movement, which allows him to easily sneak attack. He's quite flexible.
Can become semi-invisible, allowing you to confuse your opponent.
Hunts prey alone.

• One creature, even a weak one, is worth five men.

Lorgon tells Ennon about the filth.
We were only shown two creatures: Goronod and the Unknown Abomination. The Order of the Crusaders, the Order of the Dawnguard, and the Order of the Knights of the Dawn are tasked with exterminating these creatures. Each abomination has a name to make it easier to remember and study. Their characteristics are described in the bestiary.

The scum fears the sun. Naturally, they can be encountered even during the day, but during the rainy season, their activity increases significantly. These creatures primarily harm villagers, although they also indirectly affect city dwellers by hindering trade.

Evil spirits do not interbreed.

The Order of the Dawnguard specializes in tracking down creatures and evil spirits within cities, and sometimes acts as judges in mundane matters.

Используют кровь Эльхов, что бы получить силу, похожую на силу Крестоносцев. У них есть красный крест на лбу. Являются врагами Крестоносцев.

There are still many crusaders, there are also women, but the author knows little about them, so not all the characters are there.

The Middle Ages, the Order of the Crusaders—men with superhuman strength. Knights had crosses carved into their foreheads, and squires had them carved into their arms. They inspired terror and could kill anyone. Kings were forced to bow their heads, and they could disregard traditions—they could avoid going to church and blaspheme God. The madness of the cross was the price of strength. Each crusader had their own strength. Ivan was the captain, Lorgon was the second-in-command.
The Elkh race has two forms: a human form, indistinguishable from humans, and an animal form with fox ears and tails. If they are exposed to cold for too long, they will become immobile. High Elkh also have blue eyes and white hair. Crusaders have a duty: to kill sinners, help people, and bring goodness to the world, helping it rid itself of sin. They live forever, but can also die; they are over 600 years old. Lorgon is the only immortal. All Crusaders hear one voice in their heads, but Lorgon hears two—the voice of a god and the voice of the dead.

What happens when a crusader is overcome by madness?
• Loss of control and bloodlust: The Knight completely loses his mind and turns into an uncontrollable killing machine. The power of the cross begins to use the host's body to its maximum, not distinguishing between friend and foe.
•Large-scale destruction: The Mad Crusader's power is colossal. A prime example from the series' lore is Deputy Captain Lorgon, who, in a fit of madness, single-handedly wiped out an entire city. Lorgon was stopped/killed by Ivan, but thanks to Lorgon's immortality, he was resurrected, no longer a madman, though the scar from Ivan's sword remained.

How to stop this?
The Order of the Crusaders itself developed strict mechanisms to contain and prevent this threat:

1. Using Zegel (Crusader. Power of God): Zegel is able to literally "absorb" and take into himself the madness of the Crusaders, temporarily clearing their minds and regaining control.
2. Protection through Squires: To prevent madness from being transmitted or to contain it at a distance, the order's squires undergo a special ritual and wear crosses on their arms, which acts as a kind of shield and lightning rod for mental filth.
3. Radical Method (Weapon of Another Crusader): The only thing that can cause irreparable, fatal damage to an immortal crusader is a wound from the sword or weapon of a fellow Crusader. If a knight has completely fallen to darkness and cannot be stopped by Zegel, the captain or other brothers are forced to eliminate him physically.

He appears to be around 60-70 years old. Within the walls of his church, he dresses in traditional clerical vestments, but when going out into the world, he dons all-black clothing and a plague doctor mask. Igomond is quite kind and has his own church where he guides people to the true path. He is the most feared knight of the order. Not because of his martial prowess, but because his blood harbors every conceivable disease and can cause the death of all living things. For this same reason, even the filthiest creatures leave him untouched. He is the most secretive knight of the Crusaders, according to a member of the Plague Heralds order who has been keeping an eye on him. Before his arrival, the area is prepared to prevent him from being injured.

Intelligence and nobility: Patifar's speech is always literate, polite, and filled with profound meaning. He does not use coarse words or bandit slang. His tone always conveys a high level of culture and "purity."
• Soft, Soothing Tone: Patifar speaks with a surprisingly calm tone. His voice has a calming effect, and he knows how to listen and find the right words of comfort, which is why his manner of speech partially echoes the gentleness of the healer Brani.
• Religious and philosophical subtext: Since his cross is the "Wisdom of God," in his dialogues he often discusses sin, forgiveness, faith, and the laws of the Supreme Being. His lines are similar to wise parables or instructions.
• Shyness and chastity: This is one of his most striking traits in personal communication. He is extremely pious and considers many worldly things "sinful," so topics related to something personal or frivolous make him terribly embarrassed, timid, and try to piously steer the conversation to more elevated topics.

• Attire: Patifar wears a closed, long, holy cassock (robe) of light or holy colors, which is more associated with the clergy of the church than with the classic knight-slayers.
• Facial features: He has a peaceful, stern, yet kind face. One of the main visual features is his hair - neat, light (or gray), which emphasizes his image of a wise monk.
• Distinguishing mark: Like all crusaders, he has a sacred cross (the sign of the Supreme One), symbolizing his immortality and belonging to the order.
• General powers of the Crusader: Like his brothers in the order, Patiphar is absolutely immortal (does not age or get sick), and also has colossal regeneration, which heals physical wounds almost instantly.
• True Wisdom and Prophecy: Patiphar is able to see the essence of things, the hidden motives of people, and understand the true intentions of the Supreme Being better than others. His mind is clear of filth, which allows him to soberly assess any mystical threats.
• Tranquility and mental peace: With his presence and spiritual aura, Patiphar is able to partially dampen other people’s aggression and bring his comrades to their senses.
• Chaste Barrier (Weakness/Trait): His primary "mental" ability is also his vulnerability. Due to his incredible piety and purity, Patiphar possesses a mental barrier against any sinful thoughts. If anything personal or indecent is discussed in his presence, his "spiritual defense" fails—he instantly becomes embarrassed, shy, and loses his chivalrous demeanor.

Communication style: Cheerful and combative, yet caring and loyal. Gavroche communicates with great vivacity, emotion, and openness. Her speech lacks the arrogance typical of ancient knights. She can be stubborn and loud, but when it comes to wounded brothers in the order, her tone instantly becomes serious, focused, and supportive.

Appearance: A charming girl with long, bright red hair and green eyes. She wears the signature green blouse of squires and healers, and a distinctive flower crown adorns her head. The obligatory cross is painted on her hand.
• Abilities: Unlike the Battle Sisters, Gavroche specializes in support and assistance. She has a deep knowledge of medicinal herbs, medicine, and anatomy. Like her mentors, Gavroche knows how to quickly treat wounds, prepare decoctions against infection and filth, and also possesses high spiritual resistance to fear.

• Commanding and authoritative tone: As the leader of a band of robbers, Bertisa is accustomed to being obeyed unquestioningly. Her speech has the stern, confident intonation of a leader who knows how to keep a less-than-obedient crowd in check.
• Bandit Directness and Abruptness: She does not use social etiquette. Her manner of speaking is direct, impetuous, at times rude and brash, which makes her similar in spirit to Lorgon. She says what she thinks, without unnecessary diplomacy.
• Knightly Pride: Despite her criminal surroundings, Bertisa is aware of her affiliation with the Order of the Crusaders. In dialogues with strangers or enemies, the arrogance and pride of an immortal warrior, who considers himself a cut above ordinary people, shines through her bandit talk.
• Irony and fighting spirit: As a skilled marksman, she is cool-headed in battle, but likes to accompany a well-aimed shot with a caustic comment or taunt directed at the enemy.

A pale-skinned girl with chestnut-colored hair, a cross carved into her forehead, wears a dark shirt, blue pants, and a leather cape that falls loosely over her shoulders.

Not enough information will be known in the future

• Diligence and laconicism: Vair is a man of action, not words. Unlike the talkative Lorgon, he speaks rarely, clearly and strictly to the point, preferring to silently carry out the orders of his superiors.
• Respect for Subordination: His speech is always emphatically polite and respectful towards his superior brothers in the Order (especially towards Captain Ivan). There is no insolence or irony in his tone; he communicates like a devoted soldier.
• Calm and Unflappable: Vaira is difficult to anger. He maintains a calm, cool, and composed tone even in stressful situations on the battlefield.
• Closed and secretive: He is reluctant to make contact with strangers, and in dialogues with his brothers in the order he keeps a slight distance, rarely revealing his personal experiences.

Clothing: In the animation, Vair is depicted in dark tones, allowing him to blend into his surroundings. His Minecraft skin and artwork are designed with a gothic aesthetic, often including a hood or elements obscuring his face to emphasize his status as a scout and necromancer.
Special features: Like all the high knights of the order, he has a unique cross - the source of his incredible power and at the same time a curse (madness).
Secrecy and silence: He prefers to remain in the background, listening and observing, rather than engaging in open debate. He speaks rarely, but always to the point.
Pragmatism and Darkness: Due to his close association with death and dark magic, his character appears distant and cold. However, he remains absolutely loyal to the Order and Captain Ivan's orders.
Coping with Madness: Like other Crusaders, he is subject to the mental pressure of the Supreme One's cross. His way of coping with this pressure is retreating into deep contemplation and the shadows.
Vair is a unique warrior of the order, whose power is tied to stealth and mysticism:
Necromancy (Level 2): ​​According to the authors' lore, Vair has the ability to manipulate the forces of death. This allows him to interact with souls, use dark energy to weaken opponents, and possibly summon or subjugate fallen enemies.
Shadow Melding: The title "Shadow of God" reflects his ability to become invisible or difficult to detect in the dark. He is the perfect spy, able to infiltrate any secure location while remaining undetected even by powerful opponents.
General Crusader Powers: As a full-fledged High Knight, Vair possesses the standard superpowers of the order:
Immortality: He does not age and cannot die from natural causes.
Colossal regeneration: Rapid healing of any wounds, immunity to all known poisons and diseases.
Stealth Mastery: High level of proficiency with melee weapons (often associated with daggers or hidden blades for quick critical hits).

Personality and behavior: Unlike the hot-tempered vanguard fighters, Ceston is an intelligent, caring, and extremely reasonable young man. He is distinguished by his boundless devotion to his mentor, Brani, and is always ready to come to the aid of wounded comrades in the hospital.

He appears to be around 20 years old. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a green shirt with sleeves of different colors: one white, the other green. Black pants complete his look, and a cross is visible on his left arm. Ceston is a caring and devoted man, especially loyal to Brani. He sincerely worries for him when he learns that he is about to leave for his brothers. Brani, in turn, describes Ceston as an intelligent and sensible man. His past is unknown. He works at the hospital and assumed all of Brani's responsibilities upon his departure.

She is described as extremely changeable and lively. She noticeably brightens the gloomy and pathetic atmosphere of the stern knights:
• Sarcastic and caustic: The Fox is never at a loss for words. She loves to be cheeky, ironic, and can communicate with a touch of impudence even with those who are stronger than her.
• Courage and recklessness: There is no fear in her speech or behavior. She is outgoing, stubborn, and always openly defends her opinion, even if it seems like pure madness in the face of danger.
• Genuine kindness and emotionality: Behind the prickly character lies a selfless and kind personality. She deeply empathizes with loved ones and is capable of strong emotional attachment.

She belongs to the ancient and despised race of Elkh. Detailed heroine profile: Race and age: Elkh. Outwardly, she appears to be a 20-year-old girl, but due to genetic longevity, her real age is 64. Appearance: She has long white hair and blue eyes. Personality: A kind and compassionate girl. Despite the persecution of her people, she is willing to help others and supports the protagonist, Captain Ivan Weller, in the revival of his Order. Origin: A representative of the respected Elkh clan of Arnelio. Her grandfather is Merror.

An authoritative and despotic tone: Zegel speaks from a position of absolute power and superiority. His manner of speech is arrogant, firm, and does not tolerate objections. He does not ask, but commands and subjugates.
Manipulative and Coercive: Possessing a unique ability to subjugate others' wills, Zegel uses this in conversations. His speech is structured to mentally overwhelm his interlocutor, forcing them to doubt their own abilities and lean toward decisions favored by Zegel.
Absolute composure and control: Zegel is the only knight completely immune to the madness of the cross. Because of this, his manner lacks the chaotic irascibility of Lorgon. He communicates with a calculated, chilling calm, and keeps his emotions completely under lock and key.
Patronizing care for "his own": Despite his cruelty and despotism toward his enemies, Zegel deeply values ​​his brothers in the order (it is he who takes away their madness). In dialogues with crusaders, his tone can become protective, mentoring, and patronizing, although he still maintains a position of supreme authority.
If a girl appears next to Zegel, his manner of communication and behavior will be built on a subtle contrast between power and hidden affection:
A true gentleman with a dominant character: In dance and in person, Zegel conducts himself impeccably, gracefully, and majestically. However, even in a romantic setting, he completely takes the lead—his movements and tone will gently but uncompromisingly subjugate his partner, demonstrating who is in charge.
Patronage without mental pressure: Zegel is accustomed to mentally dominating those around him and taking away their will. But with "his" lady, he completely disables this ability. His manner of communication becomes protective. He will speak to her as her sole protector, ready to destroy anyone who dares touch her.
Exceptional trust: Since Zegel always keeps his emotions under lock and key and doesn't open up to anyone, in dialogues with this girl he can allow himself a rare luxury—to show his human side.

Zegel
He is very proud, domineering, and despotic. However, he values ​​his brothers greatly.
Submission is the ability to subordinate the will of other people.
Madness Control - Helps suppress the madness of other Crusader Knights.

Sternness, toughness, and directness: Runbora is not prone to sentimentality. His speech is heavy, stern, and abrupt. He speaks with authority, directly, and never tries to mince his words, even if they sound frightening or cruel.
• Absolute uncompromisingness: While Lorgon is hot-tempered but easily forgiving, Runbora is a rock. In arguments or when discussing orders, he is unwavering. If the law of the Order or the Highest is violated, there is no room for pity or doubt in his voice. He communicates like a man who firmly knows his task—to punish the guilty.
• Heavy Silent Pressure: Runbora doesn't like to waste words. In dialogue, he can remain silent for long periods, assessing his interlocutor with a heavy, piercing gaze that makes ordinary people uneasy. Each of his rare remarks sounds like a final verdict.
• Respect for strength and order: Despite his rigidity, Runbora unquestioningly respects the hierarchy of the order. In his interactions with Captain Ivan, he demonstrates unwavering loyalty and discipline, conducting the dialogue from the position of a reliable and diligent executor of the higher will.

Runbora is a steadfast and determined warrior who combines a sense of duty with empathy. Despite the harsh life of a crusader, he cares for his loved ones and carefully analyzes his actions. Order, self-control, and thoughtful decision-making are important to him. However, his commitment to his own convictions can be both his strength and his weakness, as he rarely deviates from his chosen path, even when it works against him. He is a skilled swordsman and wields two unconventional swords to a high level.
He can change the properties of objects. Runbora is capable of turning the entire earth into gas/steam, but he can't do so because the cross's recoil would instantly kill him. He can turn stone into water—the stone will look like stone, but have the properties of water. He can also turn stone into wood, as shown in episode 12, where he helped Lorgon and turned most of the church into wood to speed up the burning.

• Speaking about himself in the third person: This is Brani's signature move. He almost never says "I." Instead, he constructs sentences by referring to himself by name: "Brani doesn't like that you're insulting the Order" or "Brani thinks..."
• Boundless simplicity and kindness: Brani communicates incredibly softly, kindly, and warmly. There is not a drop of pathos, arrogance, or chivalrous severity in his voice. He absolutely does not know how to hold a grudge against people.
• Shyness and modesty: Brani becomes terribly embarrassed when he is praised. If someone remarks on his healing talent, he immediately becomes shy and sincerely asks the interlocutor to stop.
• Self-criticism: In dialogues, he often downplays his own intelligence, directly telling his interlocutors that he is stupid (especially when comparing himself to Iglik).
• Gentle yet Firm Defense of the Order: Despite his gentle nature, Brani instantly changes his tone if anyone starts speaking ill of his brothers or the Crusader Order in his presence. He will not shout or pick a fight like Lorgon, but will firmly and resentfully stop any insults.
• Demonstrative resentment and stubbornness: Brani will not attack the offender in response. He withdraws into himself, demonstratively takes offense, crosses his arms over his chest or turns away, completely ceasing dialogue with the offender until he takes back his words.
• Refrain from physical aggression: Even if he faces an enemy or a rude person, Brani will never draw his sword. Defending the honor of his brothers, he acts as a living reproach—his sincere, childish, yet firm tone makes even the most inveterate cynics (like Lorgon) feel guilty and slow down.

Branya is known as the kindest of the Crusaders. His kindness knows no bounds, but he refuses to allow anyone to speak ill of his order. Branya is rather shy, and when praised, he asks others not to. He constantly compares himself to Iglik, saying that, unlike him, Branya is stupid. He also never holds a grudge. But he can injure. Healing is perhaps the best healer in the entire world.

Skepticism and cold logic: Ruya is completely devoid of blind chivalrous pathos. In dialogue, she often displays a healthy distrust and skeptical irony. She questions others' conclusions and words until she sees ironclad evidence firsthand.
• Observation and precision of lines: Because Ruya has "bird's eye vision" and sees the whole picture of the battle (and the world), she rarely speaks in vain. She prefers to listen and analyze. Her lines are always short, succinct, and right on target.
• Slight Detachment: Due to her deep mental connection with nature and birds, Ruya sometimes seems a little "out of this world" to her brothers in the order. Her tone is free from chaotic human emotions, she communicates calmly and deliberately.
• Ability to calm Lorgon: Perhaps the most striking detail of her interactions is her interaction with Lorgon. Knowing that he is not indifferent to her, Ruya communicates with him as an equal, completely unafraid of his explosive temper. She is capable of instantly knocking him down a peg with one subtle, ironic jab and forcing this formidable warrior into embarrassed silence.
• Mentoring without arrogance: When teaching her squire Ennon to understand birds, she communicates with him patiently and calmly, acting as a wise elder rather than an arrogant despot

Ruya
Her main trait is a healthy skepticism. Unlike some of her fanatical comrades, she tends to assess events soberly and rationally. At the same time, Ruya is a devoted fighter and loyal comrade, ready to fight for the ideals of her order.

There are a few more virgins among the crusaders, but I'm too lazy to describe them.

• Melancholy and "cool": Liaf, as the "master of the seas," has adopted the energy of his element. His speech flows smoothly, calmly, but it always conveys a deep, age-old sadness or even a slight detachment from the bustle of the world.
• Weight and depth of phrases: Due to his ability ("The Power of Blood") and the wars he has experienced, Liaf sees and feels the world more subtly than many others. In dialogue, he does not throw empty words around; his lines often sound weighty, wise, and metaphorical.
• Restrained, Hidden Strength: He never shouts or makes bold statements. Liaf communicates with absolute confidence in his cross—his voice is calm and quiet, but behind this calm lies the power of a raging ocean, capable of crushing an enemy into dust.
• Respectful, yet aloof, attitude toward his brothers: Liaf is devoted to the Order of the Crusaders, but he maintains a somewhat aloof attitude when dealing with noisy brothers like Lorgon. He prefers to listen and analyze rather than engage in empty arguments.

Liaf is the master of the seas and can summon rain. His image is shrouded in mystery, but his core character traits and characteristics set him apart from others: Mysterious and secretive: He is a man of few words, preferring to keep his thoughts and past to himself. Responsibility: He undertakes dangerous missions (such as mining a rare Xon metal) without question or hesitation. Dedication to duty: As befits a knight of the order, he is distinguished by his loyalty to his cause and comrades.

• Intellectual Arrogance and Condescension: Iglik is well aware of his intelligence, and it sometimes comes through in his voice. He can communicate with a slight air of superiority, as many things are obvious to him, while other knights seem "small-minded" to him.
• Pedantry and a love of precision: In conversation, Iglik does not tolerate ambiguity or empty speculation. He expresses himself as precisely as possible, uses complex terms, and always relies on facts, bestiaries, or his own research into abominations.
• Instructive and mentoring tone: He loves to explain how the world works, the magic of the cross, or the "alphabet of God." His remarks sometimes resemble the lectures of a professor who is trying to hammer knowledge into the heads of lazy students.
• Irony over others' stupidity: Iglik never misses an opportunity to make a sarcastic remark about others' intellectual abilities. This is especially evident in his distant "rivalry" with the healer Brani: the kind-hearted Brani constantly belittles himself in dialogue, sighing that he is "stupid compared to the smart Iglik."
• Cool Detachment: Iglik prefers solitude with books and artifacts to social interaction. He speaks only when it is truly necessary for the matter at hand, and is reluctant to engage in pointless emotional squabbles.

Iglik is a remarkable intellectual, possessing a rich vocabulary and a penchant for complex formulations. He has dedicated his life to the study and systematization of knowledge, particularly in the field of dangerous creature research. Like all other knights, Iglik is proficient in the divine alphabet.
Artifact Creation - Can create artifacts. Two books that allow 'correspondence' over any distance are his creation.
Gravity Control - Allows Iglik to increase gravity in a specific area. Which he used against an unknown abomination.
Possesses all knowledge - the Iglik cross gives him access to all knowledge, including knowledge about the future and parallel worlds.

• Simplicity and straightforwardness: Zhelf is an open and straightforward giant. He speaks without flowery phrases, arrogance, or chivalrous pathos. His speech is clear, understandable, and devoid of hidden meanings.
• Friendliness and gentleness: Despite his impressive height (over 2 meters) and massiveness, Zhelf is a kind person by nature. He communicates warmly and calmly with his brothers in the order and allies, rarely showing aggression in ordinary conversations.
• Prudence and pragmatism: Zhelf is able to soberly assess the situation and calculate the consequences of his actions. In dialogues when making decisions, he often voices harsh, but logical and necessary steps, guided by common sense, and not blind rage.
• Quiet self-confidence: Possessing colossal innate strength (able to lift two horses without effort), he never boasts about it out loud. His tone is always confident and calm, since he does not need to prove anything to anyone with the power of words.

Zhelf
Blessed (Physical Strength) - Zhelf possesses immense physical strength, far exceeding that of other Crusaders. While a Crusader could lift a medium-sized horse, Zhelf lifted two horses without even feeling their weight. Physical strength is not a power of his cross; it was bestowed upon him from birth.
Skin Hardening - Using the power of the cross, Zhelf can harden his skin. Combined with his physical strength, this makes him a powerful melee fighter.

• Common and down-to-earth: Ennon speaks like someone from a typical, rugged northern village. His speech is simple, direct, and devoid of pathos, complex metaphors, or chivalrous literary turns of phrase.
• Impulsive and Grumpy: Like his mentor, Lorgon, Ennon is prone to a short temper. If angered or forced to do something he doesn't like (and he can be lazy at times), he will openly grumble, complain, and express his displeasure.
• Devotion and emotionality towards his mentor: Ennon's dialogue with Lorgon is a highlight of the series. Despite their mutual recriminations, Ennon's voice always conveys a deep, desperate devotion to his teacher. He can argue with Lorgon, but in a critical situation, his tone instantly shifts to genuine concern and worry for him.
• Rough Kindness: Behind the stern, bearded exterior with shaved sides and a bandit past lies a kind heart. In dealing with those who are weaker or in need of help, Ennon, despite his outward harshness, shows compassion and humanity.

Ennon squire of Lorgon.
He possesses many positive qualities, such as courage, kindness, and diligence. However, he also has his weaknesses—he's prone to short tempers and can be lazy at times. God's Alphabet—in the penultimate episode, Lorgon promised to teach him the alphabet. He hasn't yet learned it.
He is skilled in wielding a sword.

Onnon's (God's Wrath) manner of communication is the most distinctive of all the knights of the order. Its main characteristic is that Onnon has taken a vow of silence and physically does not utter a single word.
• Purely non-verbal communication: Onnun communicates with his brothers through gestures, nods, expressive glances, and body language. Despite his complete lack of speech, his comrades (especially Ivan and Lorgon) understand him without difficulty.
• Cool and Stern Calm: In times of peace, Onnun is conspicuously quiet, aloof, and reserved. His "silent presence" often inspires respect and awe in those around him.
• Communicating through Fury in Battle: When the situation heats up and Onnun enters battle, his manner of "dialogue" with his enemies becomes frightening. In the heat of battle, his eyes change color to red or black, and he uses devastating actions instead of words—his fury, immense physical strength, and twin axes speak for themselves.
• Prime Target of Joke (and Silent Response): Due to his vow and personality, Onnun is the most frequent target of Lorgon's taunts and jokes. Onnun typically responds to his brother-in-arms' caustic remarks with a heavy, eloquent look that reveals his entire attitude.

Onnon is known for his kindness, second only to Brani, yet he is the fiercest of all the members of the Crusader Order, as evidenced by his title "God's Wrath." He wields dual axes.
Rage - in a surge of strong negative emotions, falls into rage, madness.
Purification - after a battle, he is able to cleanse himself (possibly absorb) all the blood that remains on him.
Immense physical strength—far greater than that of ordinary crusaders (possibly even Lorgon). He can rip limbs off knights and even toss a man high into the air.

Impulsiveness and short temper: Lorgon gets angry quickly. While Ivan thinks first and speaks later, Lorgon often says everything he thinks first or immediately starts fighting. His speech is emotional, expressive, and full of sharp intonations.
• Sarcasm, barbs, and jabs: This is Lorgon's calling card. He enjoys making caustic comments, ironic comments, and poking fun at those around him (especially Onnun and other brothers in the order). His humor is often harsh and cheeky.
• Lorgon's Jokes and Teases: Lorgon truly loves to tease Ivan—his favorite subject for irony is his "uncertain relationship" with someone he has a crush on. Ivan's Counter-Jokes: The Captain knows how to put his second-in-command in his place. As soon as Ivan casually mentions Ruya (a character Lorgon has a crush on) in response to his jibes, the brash and sharp-tongued warrior immediately loses his composure and lowers his tone.
• Directness bordering on rudeness: Lorgon doesn't know how and doesn't want to cut corners. He says what he sees, without regard for the feelings of his interlocutor or diplomacy. If he doesn't like someone, he'll say it to their face.
• Stubbornness and arguments with authority: Lorgon is the only one in the order who can openly and fiercely argue with Captain Ivan, questioning his orders. In such disputes, he behaves emotionally, proving his case to the last, although deep down he has boundless respect for Ivan and is devoted to him.
• Brotherly devotion behind a mask of cynicism: Despite his constant grumbling, barbs, and apparent rudeness, his strong affection often shines through his "bad boy" facade in conversations with loved ones. He is willing to lay down his life for his brothers in the order, and in critical moments, his tone instantly becomes serious and protective.
Unexpected details: Even in the series' scripts, Lorgon's severity is tempered with comedic touches—for example, behind the mask of a formidable and cynical fighter lies his strange hobby: collecting beetles.

Lorgon is a true warrior, ready without hesitation to judge those he believes to be in conflict with the will of the Supreme Being. However, he is not without the ability to forgive if he sees genuine remorse. His views on the elves remain contradictory: on the one hand, he views them as enemies, but on the other, he is capable of judging them by their actions, not just their origins.
Despite his toughness, in informal settings, Lorgon displays a sense of humor and remains loyal to his comrades, regardless of their race.
Skills and abilities
Swordsmanship - A master of fencing, he describes himself as "the best swordsman on the continent."
Delusion is a power that even Lorgon himself hasn't fully explored. It allows one to cast illusions, but as the experiment with the stick and illusory sword showed, they can also affect real objects, so further study is required.
Immortality - Due to his strange relationship with the Goddess of the Buried, he became immortal.
Speak with the Dead - An ability gained through his connection with the Goddess of the Buried, through which he can temporarily draw the souls of the dead from the other side of life for questioning, but not for long.
The alphabet of God - in his own words: almost a complete zero, but enough for hunting.

• Restraint and Reason: Ivan is the voice of reason in the order. He knows how to balance the power of the cross and control his inner darkness, so in conversations he is usually calm, measured, and cool. He rarely raises his voice without good reason.
• Captain's Authority and Directness: His speech always conveys a leadership stance. He speaks directly, clearly, and to the point when giving orders or making difficult, sometimes tough, decisions that are necessary for the survival of his people.
• Irony and slight cynicism: Centuries of life and war have left a trace of weariness on him. Ivan can communicate with a slight, sometimes cold, skepticism. For example, he candidly assess the intellectual abilities of those around him (as in the case of the villager Stepan, about whom the captain bluntly described him as "not endowed with intelligence").
• Controlled Emotionality: Thanks to his ability to physically sense other people's emotions through touch, he deeply understands others, but he tries to remain "impenetrable" himself. However, if Ivan is pushed to the limit, his cold tone can be replaced by a frightening, furious outburst of anger.
• Shifting to an informal tone with loved ones: When communicating with his brother-in-arms Lorgon or the elf Lisa, Ivan drops the mask of a stern commander. He is capable of mutual jibes, friendly quip, and displays sincere care and affection hidden behind the external severity of a knight.

Ivan combines severity, ruthlessness toward his enemies, and a deep sense of duty. A stern leader bearing a heavy burden, he also displays humanity, concern for his loved ones, and regret, but hides his true emotions behind a mask of inflexibility.

Copying/Using the Powers of Other Crusaders is a major breakthrough in the series. During battle, Ivan repeatedly activates abilities belonging to other brothers of the Order. His dialogue with Lorgon makes it clear that this is a unique ability of his particular Cross (as Captain)—to temporarily adopt and utilize the techniques of his comrades to achieve victory. To do this, he simply needs to mention the title of his brother/sister. For example: "In the name of our brother. The Power of God." or "In the name of our sister. Mistress of God's Roads."
