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.

Abilities
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Himmel learned Hand-to-Hand Combat at a very earliy age and mastered at when he reach adulthood. Not much is know about who instructed him, it is only known that it helped him a lot in the Journey with his heros company when fighting demons. There were Events in which he had lost his sword and had no choice, but to fight without a sword, in his mighty grip, sturdy materials like steel would bend and shatter and on his journey to the Demon King, he even cut him a steel limb off with a single swing of his bare hand. Even Frieren viewed his Hand-to-Hand Combat as "Scary", mainly including that it was better for him to fight with a sword, which he ultimativly did.

Superhuman Speed: Naturally, speed is no exemption from his superhuman movements. Himmel is easily able to traverse long distances in mere seconds, navigating through the any land with ease and swiftness, responding to cries of help in mere 30 seconds, despite him being located on the other side of the city. This ability proves especially effective during fights, as he's easily able to reduce several tens of meters worth of distance between him and his enemies, in a blink of an eye.

Superhuman Reflexes: Another ability gained through his numerous training and talent, Himmel can respond to threats in less than a second by moving reflexively. During his first duel with the Demon Kings strongest warrior, Himmel deflected numerous lightning-fast blows from the Divine General, by simply acting on his reflexes. Shortly after escaping, Himmel skillfully deflected and parried all of them without fail.

Superhuman Intuition: Himmels intelligence is stated to be average, but his intuition is incredible, meaning he will always take the most optimal decisions, ensuring his victory in a fight. With just his intuition, he can instantly tell the physical condition of his opponents in battle, by how their bodies feel when he hits them with a weapon. His "Talent" allow him to quickly learn things he was previously inexperienced in. By simply following his sixth sense, Himmel easily traversed through an entire city in mere thirty seconds, when he was summoned by one of his comrades.

Master Swordsman: Himmel was born with an inhuman sword talent. Himmels skill with the sword is undoubtedly among the most impressive in the current days, perhaps only being rivalled by *unknown character*.
