Summary[]

Valerian Trifa, also known by their Arcane Title Christof Lohengrin or the Divine Vessel by the normal members of the L.D.O., is a character and antagonist in Dies Irae.

A man who was once a normal priest with the unique ability to read the hearts of others, Trifa was troubled by this very aspect he lives with, where he took upon the role of being a priest in order to find those who can comfort him of his abnormality. A certain night would change that when he witnessed a fight between four, people along with Rusalka Schwagerin, where the fight was broken by one man alone.

Since then, Trifa aimed to be like Reinhard himself, even going so far as to have it as his Craving. Although this would be taken into conflict at times with both himself and at Reinhard due to the latter having him choose ten orphans he had brought under his care as the "price to pay" for betraying and leaving the Legion. Broken by his powerlessness, he fully embraces what he had desired for in the first place to become the Golden Beast himself.

Time would pass and after the completion of the Berlin Ritual, Trifa would lead the rest of the Legion as its acting Commander-In-Chief until the time comes for the return of Reinhard and the completion of his plan to paint all of reality in his Law, in addition to taking up Reinhard's body as his Ahnenerbe (which also caused him to lose his original ability). Trifa's role, as well as his actions and personality by the time the events of Dies Irae vary, however all of the routes portray his true goals and intentions: To save the very same orphans he had sacrificed for his own as well as to prevent Reinhard's return and save Rea from her fate as Sonnenkind.

Powers and Stats[]

Dimensionality: 3D

Threat Level: Likely Demon | Demon, far higher with Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin

Powers and Abilities:

Same as before, minus Mind Manipulation and Telepathy.

Yetzirah:

  • Statistics Amplification (Defensive-based; Trifa's Craving to become Reinhard enabled his soul to transfer to Reinhard's own body, whereby he inherited the latter's sheer quantity of souls that protect the body and granting him an absurd degree of durability in the Throne of Omega Ewigkeit)

Ber'iah:

Physical Strength: Likely City level | City level

Attack Potency: Likely City (Doesn't have many offensive feats but as a practitioner of Ewigkeit, he should be as superhuman as his fellow peers in the Legion. Shouldn't be any different from when he was using Heilige Eohl, where he stomped out Rote Spinne's head and punched through Lisa's chest.) | City (Is not much different than if he was in his original body due to not inheriting the powerful strength that comes with using Reinhard's body. According to Masada, Trifa is ranked fourth of his Pantheon power ladder, placing him in the same tier as Bey and Valkyrie. However, his overall combat abilities are only comparable to Kei Sakurai, with his attacks able to harm the latter but not overtly so), far higher with Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin (Summons the Longinuslanze Testament, the strongest of all Holy Relic's in Omega Ewigkeit. Trifa's use of the spear was able to, while having an internal conflict with his Craving and goal, hit Marie and tear her away from Ren.); can ignore durability via attacking the soul or through his Briah

Durability: At least City, possibly higher (Took a blow from a restricted Wolfgang Schreiber, and was beaten to a pulp when the latter was bloodlusted but otherwise survived, if barely at that point. Should also be comparable to his fellow peers); Regeneration makes him difficult to defeat. | At least Multi-Continent, likely far higher (Possesses Reinhard's body, granting him the latter's durability, with no one in Omega Ewigkeit being able to virtually harm him, not even the likes of Albedo and Rubedo who had ascended to Gladsheimr as Einherjar and thus became far stronger than they were before as mere Apostles. According to Masada[Note 1], only Reinhard, Mercurius, Ren in Finale, and Machina have the power necessary to break through his defense). Far lower when using his Ber'iah (His defense lowers drastically when using his Ber'iah, making him vulnerable to attacks he otherwise would have tanked such as a strike of Beatrice's Relic and even a stab from Ren's Relic which, while considerably weaker in potency due to losing Marie and thus likely not able to pierce any of the Apostle's, still had enough power to fatally harm normal humans); Immortality, and the various defenses and protections of Reinhard's body makes him highly difficult to defeat.

Speed: At least Supersonic, possibly Massively Hypersonic+ (Should at least be comparable to even the weakest of the L.D.O, who can react to and/or dodge gunfire as well as surpass the speed of sound. Should possibly be the same, if not comparable to himself in Heilige Eohl, where he was capable of reacting to Kei's attacks, at one point even grabbing her weapon with his hand in their fight in her namesake route) | At least Supersonic, possibly Massively Hypersonic+. Infinite with Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin (With the Longinuslanze, Trifa was able to bypass distance and dimension to breach through Wilhelm's Briah which was another World of its own. He also used it to strike down Schreiber who, while chanting for his True Ber'iah, caused space to infinitely increase the distance between him and Ber'iah Ren despite standing still and the latter having a headstart right before that)

Intelligence: High. Valerian is a very crafty and manipulative man, being able to manipulate all of the normal members of the L.D.O. to achieve his own goals as well as deceiving them, going at such lengths that they would have perhaps succeeded were it not for various factors such as Ren or the Commanders foiling them. While Valerian himself is no great combatant, being lower in skill to Wilhelm's and no better than Kei's, his use of deception is applied even in fights by appearing to be unarmed, fooling them into thinking he's unprotected and unarmed by taking all their attacks head-on only to surprise them of not being harmed in the slightest. By taking advantage of Reinhard's body being both an Ahnenerbe and powerful armor as long as he does not use his Briah, Trifa can simply wither away his opponent's soul with his attacks until they die while they, in turn, will not be able to harm him. This works another way if, instead of taking it long, he can break their spirits and morale as well, then using his Ber'iah as a way to end their despair with. Additionally, Trifa is also an adept teacher, as his knowledge of Ewigkeit was enough to enable him in teaching Kei in its way, enough that the latter was able to reach the Ber'iah degree at her young age.

Stamina: High (As a Die Ewigkeit practioner, he should have the same level of stamina as all of his Apostle peers like Wilhelm and Beatrice demonstrated as well as having stamina that defies physics. Even after being beaten to a near pulp by an enraged Wolfgang, Trifa was able to barely survive long enough to reach Reinhard and earn his wish) | Limitless (Should have the same level of stamina as Reinhard due to having his body who, in a weaker state, his soul stock wasn't drained nor was he strained even after being subjected to thousands of years passing by a second by Methuselah)

Range: Standard Melee range | Standard Melee range normally, higher with Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin

Weakness: Most standard Ewigkeit weaknesses. Can only truly display his Ahnenerbe and Ber'iah abilities when in possession of Heilige Eohl, and using the latter causes his innate ability to read minds to be locked away. To use his mind reading powers offensively, Trifa would need to directly interact with his target, putting him at risk of being attacked in the process. | Same as before. Heilige Eohl only offers Trifa the body's robust durability and protections but not the strength with it, allowing his foes to still survive his physical blows (provided they have the resistance necessary to defend against his blows due to its Ahnenerbe-like nature in attacking the soul). His only true powerful attack is through his Ber'iah, which activating it will cause him to lose the powerful defense of Heilige Eohl, leaving a "gap" in his armor that leaves him vulnerable to even an attack from a weakened Ren whose Relic was fading and losing power due to the loss of Marie. Additionally, should Trifa become too emotionally unstable or if his Craving contradicts itself with any other thoughts, the 'almighty' power of the Longinuslanze can be diminished to the point where its aim and potency are drastically reduced, resulting in either a misfire of a slight margin to an outright miss.

Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]

Mind Reading: Trifa's innate ability, independent of those gained through Ewigkeit. Though described as mind reading, its abilities and scope go beyond the norm of it as it allows Trifa to perceive and hear the thoughts and memories of those of the living and dead. To read people like they were books to even using pebbles on the roadside like they were radios, nothing could escape his eyes and ears. Even the memories of those who have long forgotten them could not be kept hidden by Trifa. This power of Trifa can even be used offensively, placing a hand on his target's head to forcibly drive their mind to insanity by unlocking long repressed memories. As this ability is a part of Trifa's original body, however, it becomes lost upon his soul transferring to Reinhard's to utilize it as his Ahnenerbe, Heilige Eohl.

Valeria.Trifa.full.259901

Heilige EohlThe Golden Divine Vessel: The Ahnenerbe of Valerian Trifa, Special Type. It is the very body of Reinhard Heydrich, whose capacity to absorb and devour all is infinite to the point it has made Reinhard's body able to act as an Ahnenerbe itself. Trifa's specific and powerful Craving allowed his soul to take control of Reinhard's physical body upon the latter's ascension following the Berlin Ritual, inheriting the latter's sheer durability via his soul stock and even gaining access to his Ahnenerbe to use it as his Ber'iah albeit not being able to directly take hold of it due to not being Reinhard himself, essentially being a combination of Fusion (Trifa's soul being fused with Reinhard's body) and Materialization (the materialization of the Longinuslanze Testament).

While this does not increase his offensive power as even Kei Sakurai can endure taking his blows for a time (although she is still affected due to its nature as an Ahnenerbe), the biggest boon Trifa gains is the robust defense Reinhard's body has granted him. Said boon takes the form of two protections: The powerful defenses Reinhard gained as a byproduct of the Berlin Ritual in the form of a perpetual shield that grants protection in the form of "anti-magic, anti-physical, anti-time, anti-physical", and the legion of souls that number in the millions, which bolster Trifa's durability to a level far beyond than those of even the strongest members of the L.D.O., and even the supernatural powers of those such as the lightning of Beatrice or the flames of Eleonore wouldn't be able to harm him.

Despite the powerful defense he gained from it, it is not absolute as Trifa explains there are three ways in which one can break through the Divine Vessel. The first is to have something akin to that of Machina's Fist. In other words, having exceptionally strong conceptual abilities that can affect something even as durable as Reinhard's body. The second is to have a legion of souls that can match or surpass Reinhard's own legion, i.e an army for an army. Should one not possess either of these two conditions, they can apt to go for the third option, which is to find a "hole" in the Divine Vessels armor. Said hole occurs when Valerian Trifa activates his Briah, of which he trades in the absolute defense of the Golden Beasts "armor" in exchange in using the latter's "weapon", the Longinuslanze Testament. Although he does possess a number of souls comparable to Wilhelm's and thus should have comparable durability, this in turn actually leaves Trifa far more vulnerable to attacks he otherwise would have not been harmed by in the slightest from such as Beatrice's Ahnenerbe used by Kei in said namesake Route or even Ren's fading Ahnenerbe in Kasumi's Route.

Divine Vessel Briah

Ah, my beloved, dearest swan!
Behold this horn, this sword, this ring, and bestow upon him all three
For the horn shall aid him in his time of need,
And the sword shall deliver unto him victory most fortuitous
But this ring shall serve to remind him of me,
so Gottfried himself may know the name of he who freed you from torment and disgrace!
Ber'iah: Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan Lohengrin!

– Valerian enacting his Ber'iah

Vanaheimr - Goldene Schwan LohengrinTo the realm of God - Soar free, Swan Knight of Gold: Trifa's Ber'iah, Transcendence Type. It is derived from his desire, “I want to be another person”, the very same desire from which it allowed Trifa to transfer his soul to Reinhard's physical body following the latter's ascension from the Berlin Ritual at the end of WW2 in the European Front.

When used, a portal is formed through which it acts as a gateway to Gladsheimr, whereby Trifa can summon Reinhard's Ahnenerbe, the Longinuslanze Testament. Although Trifa is unable to directly wield the lance as he is only borrowing Reinhard's body and thus not the latter himself, Trifa can still deliver an all powerful, fast and accurate attack at his target by simply having the lance fired like a powerful bullet. Its lethalness and precision as the greatest of all Relics in Omega Ewigkeit is unmatched by any, able to pierce through even "worlds" like Wilhelm's which cuts itself off from the rest of the world outside, and can even touch and attack Schreiber in his true Ber'iah form despite the latter being able to infinitely increase distance between him and others while standing still and just chanting for his Law. It's also strong enough to even pierce Marie's soul (which is that of a Transcendence God) and separating her from Ren, forcing her out of creation and back to the Twilight Beach as it happened in Kasumi's Route.

Notes[]

  1. The defenses Reinhard gained from Mercurius after Berlin are unknown in number to how many he was protected with. Of the ones outright named (if not truly known), Reinhard has protection against physical, magical, time, and accident based attacks and abilities. While magic and time are straightforward by the feats Reinhard showed in resisting against, the official English translation wrote his other defenses as "anti-physical" and "anti-accident". These were translated from the original Japanese[Note 2]. 物理 literally means "laws of nature", as in the laws of physics. While 偶然 could be translated as accident as the localization chose, it can also mean chance and coincidence, or how likely things could happen. Thus, it's possible to refer to as "accident" as something that can occur randomly.
