Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ (イエス・キリスト) is the son of God and a key figure in Delta Episode.

Born a human, Jesus was killed by the Romans but resurrected, and presumably returned to Heaven. As a result, he became the object of worship for the religion of Christianity, among its sub-sects being the Catholic Church and the First Assembly of God.

Several centuries later, he responded to the resurface of the Spear of Anarchy and finally appeared before Hideki Iida.

Appearance
He has long, dark hair and a body covered in scars. His face is unseen, obscured by the shadow of his hair, but in his brief physical appearance, he appeared to be clean-shaven. He wears a crown of thorns, and his hands bear Holy Wounds.

Personality
Jesus is solemn and direct, inspiring awe in everyone he meets as a messiah. He was considered a great visionary by his followers, and a madman by his enemies, such as the Roman authorities. At times, Jesus makes his presence aware to people carrying pieces of or the entirety of the Spear of Anarchy. He also advises Hideki Iida, who can see him, feel his presence, and hear his voice.

Divine Presence
"Nobody has ever met him in this modern age... A sensation of being embraced by light! This vision... this presence! I'm sure, 'He' has shown himself to me."

- Hideki Iida about Jesus

Jesus is capable of appearing and speaking to certain individuals. Hideki feels as if he was embraced by light, and claimed he could even hear his breathing, feel his body heat and hear his voice. Jesus can also pass on visions of either the past or future.

History
Approximately 2000 years in the past, Jesus inspires a new way of faith. However, society deems him too dangerous and sentences him to crucifixion on the hill of Golgotha. The spear of the Roman Legionnaire Longinus was used to penetrate the side of Christ after he died on the cross. This spear, after contact with Jesus's divine blood, became an artifact of great power, as it was able to alter reality akin to God and kill divine beings, thus forever becoming known as the Spear of Anarchy.

Afterwards, Joseph of Arimathea brings his corpse down from the cross, cleaning his body to prepare for burial and wrapping it in a linen cloth. Despite being medically impossible and having fatal wounds, Jesus arises three days after his execution and revives. Jesus thanks Joseph for treating his body with care and then states that he will travel to the east.
