The series' main character, an experienced silver ranked adventurer who only concerns himself with hunting goblins. The jobs he takes only involve goblins and takes no others. His appearance is not as glamorous or elegant due to using equipment that would seem lacking for an adventurer of his rank. His style of combat favors more on pragmatism such as setting traps, using their own weapon against the user, and taking whatever advantage that may come. He even uses his own imagination of using a protection spell. (Source: Wikipedia)

Most of the time, Lizard Priest carries himself in a calm and composed demeanor, often speaking to others politely and addressing all in a respectful manner. He cares deeply for nature due to the tenets of his religion. In the light of recent events, he is now extremely enamored with the taste of cheese, which he calls "nectar", and finds extremely exotic, as his people do not practice the art of raising livestock.

Race: Dwarf Age: 107 Gender: Male Rank: Silver Dwarf Shaman is cheerful and happy most of the time and is almost always arguing with High Elf Archer. As the more mature of the two squabblers, he would occasionally drop the vitriol to give a distraught High Elf Archer reassuring words and advice, only returning to teasing her when she finally cheers up. He is a member of Goblin Slayer's party. (Source: Goblin Slayer Wiki)
