Zesta (ゼスタ) is an Arch Priest and Supreme Pontiff of the Axis Order that worships the Water Goddess Aqua. He is also also the leader the chapter in Arcanletia, the home of the Axis Order.

Appearance

Zesta is a middle-aged man with green eyes and dark grey hair, mustache and beard. He wears typical priest attire, consisting of a deep blue robe that covers his entire body and a large miter.

Personality

Although Zesta has the highest rank in Axis Order, he is an impetuous wanton who leaves aside his job in order to loiter, often "playing with himself" in public and sexually harassing women, even Eris Church priestesses. Zesta is too "open-minded" as well, and not just about age and gender, but also species, including demi-human monsters like orcs, ogres, werewolves, centaurs, harpies and lamias.

Moreover, as a member of the Axis Order, Zesta is a schemer who encourages the use of scams to recruit new members for his sect. However he isn't no way clever, since most of his scams are odd and flawed. Despite this, Zests is very cunning, being able of trick Sena while she uses a lie-detecting bell, as well as insightful, as he is one of the few people who noticed Aqua is his cult's goddess.

While Zesta is a hopeless pervert, he is still very serious and devoted to Axis Cult doutrine and commandments, not allowing himself to enjoy lascivious demons and undead, slaying them on the spot, although Zesta let himself get entertained by pursuing and bullying those monsters. Also, like his cult members, he does pester and scapegoat the Eris Church and other religions, particularly the ones who worship demons and undead.

Futhermore, Zesta is also very charitable and grateful, by the way he backed up Megumin during her stay in Arcanletia and her journey to Axel, although Zesta is very immature and spiteful too, holding a grudge against Yunyun because she was responsible for one of his many imprisonments in Arcanletia, picking on Yunyun and even trying to punish her for the sins of her clan.

History

Abilities

According to himself, Zesta has the highest level among the Axis Cult's priests. Because of that, he serves as Aqua's oracle and can hear her voice, like when she asked for money after coming to Axel.

• Holy Magic: As the leader of the Axis Order and a high level Arch Priest, Zesta is able to utilize powerful clerical magic in the name of Aqua to destroy undead and support his allies. According to Kazuma, with his supporting buffs, he could defeat an Ogre barehands.
  • Sacred Highness Exorcism: A greater spell that summons a pillar of light that drives away demons.
  • Reflect: A spell that reflects an opponent's attacks back at them.
  • Heal: Instantly heals a person's wounds.
  • Turn Undead: Creates a light that sends the undeads to the afterlife.
  • Sacred Break Spell: A greater spell that can dispels magic, skills and curses. Zesta can dispel advanced-level spells used by Yunyun.
  • Supporting Buffs: Zesta can cast several supporting spells to increase his physical abilities enough to fight barehands:
    • Blessing: A spell that increases luck.
      • Highness Blessing: A stronger version of Blessing.
    • Protection: A spell that increases physical resistance.
    • Powered: A spell that increases strength.
    • Haste: A spell that increases speed.

Trivia

• Although he is the Axis Church leader, he usually spends his day screwing around, like trying to convince people to turn the hot springs into mixed baths.
  • In the game Fantastic Days, Zesta was kicked out of Arcanletia for demanding it.
• All the Zesta's work is done by Tristan and the other Axis Priests.
