Priest

Priest (神父, Romaji: Shinpu) is one of the three of Godfather’s confidants that focuses on being the body double of Godfather. He was the direct heir of Godfather’s major legacy that includes all of Godfather’s business and connections until he got captured in SS.SS Finals - Laurel 24
==Appearance==
His appearance is still unknown, but it was said that he could disguise himself as many kinds of people even without using SSVRS. His original looks were said to be exactly the same as Godfather.SS Finals - Laurel 24
==Personality==
Being the body double of Godfather, it was necessary for Priest to be smart. Additionally, he was wicked and capable of handling all the things that Godfather needed to take care of. He is very good at disguise, voice mimicry, acting, and even self hypnosis. HiMERU — the older brother — was the disciple that studied the art of disguise from him.
Despite all his capabilities as the body double of Godfather, Priest wasn’t always so wicked. He had been an orphan that was picked by Godfather for having quite a lot of similarities in appearance to Godfather himself. Both him and Gatekeeper devoted their lives to Godfather. Taking on the role to serve him, even Priest always did his work earnestly, all for the sake of Godfather. In the face of all this, Priest was still just a normal human. Getting used to this role, he becomes dependent and attached to it — He does not want to lose the place he belongs to.SS Finals - Laurel 24
It was only until Godfather returned to them with Apostle by his side that the earnest Priest totally changed. He grew envious of Apostle’s presence because Godfather paid more attention to him over Priest. This was especially true after Godfather decided to make Apostle his true heir—albeit Apostle himself was not interested. Priest became very anxious about losing the place he belongs to as a result.SS Finals - Laurel 25
That envy and anxiety led him to do the unthinkable — He betrayed Godfather's will. Nagisa stated that back when Nagisa was still with them, Priest was the man who taught Nagisa the ugly emotions that humans have, even despite how Godfather did his best to never let Nagisa be tainted by any human emotions, which means Priest destroyed many of Godfather’s efforts at the time. This was not the only thing he did. He was capable of orchestrating the whole scandal to frame Apostle of various crimes in order to pry him away from Godfather and take back the place that Priest belongs to—that is, by Godfather’s side.
Even if his crime for being the mastermind behind the scandal seemed perfectly calculated, it actually never ended up as he wished. Unlike Gatekeeper, who calculated things beyond his feelings, Priest’s moves tend to be attached to his emotions. He might have succeeded in getting rid of Apostle, but he lost Godfather along the way. Gatekeeper suspected him to be posing as Apostle in front of Godfather to accompany him until Godfather died.
After Godfather’s death, Priest has been acting as the 2nd Godfather in the shadows, trying to fulfill Godfather’s goal and to bring “Apostle” back into the light, without being fully aware that he is actually destroying it instead.
