Raffles III

is the of Tokyo.

Appearance
Raffles III is an elderly man with a braided long beard that reaches down to his chest. He wears a mitre atop his head with a cross on it, and a chasuble around his shoulders that reaches up to his head. Underneath the chasuble, he dons a robe.

Personality
As a follower of The Holy Sol Temple, he has surrendered his body to the Sun God and holds the Holy Sol Temple in great regard. After the Great Cataclysm, Raffles regards the temple as the beacon of civilization that holds the world together after everything was lost during the cataclysm and a symbol of hope. Due to his faith, he holds a strong distaste and intolerance for those who act against the church and its teachings. Sharing a different view to the citizens of Asakusa, he considers them for worshipping a God of Destruction and refusing to be led by the church as heretics and often considers forcing them to follow the ways of the church or be destroyed.

Preacher Pursuit arc
After hearing about the situation with the White Hoods and artificial Infernals, Raffles III demanded his attendants to gather all of the Battalion Commanders of the Special Fire Force to discuss the matter. Once gathered, Raffles III commands all of the Fire Brigades to search for the preacher, the person behind all of the sudden and evil occurrences, and put a stop to his plans.

VS Holy Sol Temple arc
After explaining why he has surrendered his body to the Sun God to a church member at the The Holy Sol Temple – Holy See, Raffles questioned if the people of Asakusa still reject the grace of Amaterasu. Being informed that the cardinals haven't provoked Benimaru Shinmon, Raffles wondered why the town would worship such a destroyer. Immediately after, he is notified that Benimaru is attacking the compound, much to his confusion. During the assault, Raffles escapes to the Netherworld through a secret entrance underneath the church.
