Biography
Heiter ｢ハイター Haitā｣ was the human priest of the Hero Party. After the Hero Party was dissolved, he returned to the Holy City of Strahl and eventually became a bishop. In his last remaining years, he adopted the orphan Fern and raised her. When Frieren came to visit him twenty years after Himmel's death, he asked Frieren to adopt Fern and train her as her apprentice.
Heiter was an outwardly cheerful man who often diffused tense situations with his laughter and jokes about his inclination towards alcohol. He was easily moved to tears, both when things happened to the party or when he was hungover. However, inwardly, Heiter was shown to be cynical about circumstances such as the Hero Party's odds of defeating the Demon King, and, as a child, this manifested in jealousy towards Himmel, where he would often outwardly expressed his doubts about being able to defeat monsters or even the Demon King. However, he eventually decided that even if he could not believe in himself, he would believe in Himmel and later, their comrades.
As Himmel notes, from a young age, Heiter has always been very pious regarding Heaven and the Goddess of Creation.
Heiter was known to be a frequent liar[9] and was shown to be shrewd at times, as he was able to leverage Frieren's perception of time to trick her into staying and training Fern long enough for her to become a mage capable of traveling with Frieren.
