Himmel

Himmel (ヒンメル) was the Hero of the Hero Party. With the help of Priest Heiter, Mage Frieren, and Warrior Eisen, he defeated the Demon King, creating an era of peace. After his death from old age, Frieren resolves to get to know Humans better, making him the catalyst for the main storyline of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Personality
Himmel was a laid-back and amiable man, effortlessly getting along with others and forming strong connections. Despite challenging circumstances, his unwavering dedication to protecting people made him a beacon of inspiration for his companions. His selflessness and willingness to go above and beyond to help others left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

He had a profound impact on those around him, encouraging his friends to follow in his footsteps of kindness and compassion. This influence is evident in Heiter's decision to save Fern from despair, raising her as his own and emulating what he believed Himmel would have done in a similar situation.

Though known for his heroism, Himmel did have a slightly narcissistic side, playfully declaring himself handsome and taking great care of his appearance, even in his older years. This added a touch of lightheartedness to his otherwise serious demeanor.

Throughout their adventures, it became evident that Himmel harbored romantic feelings for Frieren. Despite the strength of these emotions, Frieren remained unaware of his affection, which added a bittersweet dimension to their bond.

In summary, Himmel was a charismatic and caring individual, who fearlessly protected others and inspired his companions with his selflessness. His playful narcissism added charm to his character, making him a memorable and endearing presence in the story. Despite his unrequited feelings for Frieren, his respect and admiration for her endured, leaving an emotional undercurrent in their friendship.

Appearance
Himmel was a male Human with blue hair and a mole near his left eye. He was self-declared to be handsome, and took great care of his appearance, even in old age. In his old age, Himmel went from a rather tall man to a senior even smaller than the already short Frieren.

Trivia

 * His name means "sky" or "heaven" in German, fitting his blue-themed design. He also passes away in the first chapter. Frieren and her party are on the way to Aureole, the place where souls rest, also known as Heaven, to meet him.
