Saint Heim (pronounced /heɪm/[key][1]; Japanese: 聖者ヘイム Saint Heim) was the leader of the Twelve Crusaders of Jugdral, the original wielder of the holy power of the Divine Dragon King Naga, and the founder of Kingdom of Grannvale.
Biography
As with the other Crusaders, Heim was a warrior fighting in a revolution against the tyranny of the Loptrian Empire, and was one of the many survivors barricaded in Dahna Fortress by the year Grann 642, after the tide turned against their movement and the Loptrian Empire's forces overwhelmed the revolution. It was at this fortress that the Miracle of Dahna occurred, changing the fate of the world: Heim was chosen by Naga, leader of the dragon "gods" who descended upon the fortress, to undergo a blood-bond with her, transforming him into one of the Crusaders. She bestowed upon Heim Naga, a tome bearing her immense power and strong will, causing Heim to be strongly influenced by Naga herself.[2]
Appointed the leader of the Crusaders, Heim led the revolution forces in the remainder of the Holy War, and at its climax personally slew the Loptous-possessed Gair XVII, as the only Crusader powerful enough to do so.[3] At the war's conclusion, he founded the Kingdom of Grannvale in Jugdral's center with the assistance of fellow Crusaders Baldr, Nál, Ullr, Fjalar, Thrud and Bragi, who founded the kingdom's six duchies. Like Bragi, Heim came to be revered as a holy man; however he was viewed as a figure of holy power and a military hero, rather than the more peaceful view of Bragi adopted by the world.[4]
