Elf Acolyte

**Elf Acolyte** (森人 (エルフ) 司祭, *Erufu Shisai*) is an Elf who is a member of the party of rookies Young Warrior meets.

## Appearance

Elf Acolyte has light-colored hair styled into a mullet, with a large portion of it covering his right eye. He wears a small robe that covers his upper torso.

## Personality

Elf Acolyte acts in a flamboyant and composed manner, but frequently quarrels with Dwarf Scout due to his race's enmity with Dwarves.

## Chronology

### Background

Having lost everything to gambling, he turned to the belief in the Earth Mother after a nun gave him alms. At some point, he joined a Adventurer Party with fellow rookies Martial Artist and Dwarf Scout under the leadership of the Professor.

### Year One Volume 2

On the party's quest to map out a mine, he and Dwarf Scout were assigned to scout the area, arguing all the while. When Goblins attack the group, he works with the rest of the Party to fend them off, engaging in more banter with Dwarf Scout. When Dwarf Scout finds a paper with writing on the Goblins she cannot decipher due to being illiterate, Elf Acolyte takes the moment to show off that he is indeed illiterate, but embarrass himself when he cannot read the Goblins' "language".

*Note: Events in this point occur only in the manga*.
When a warlock attacks and duplicates himself, Elf Acolyte uses his dart gun to kill one of the decoys. He is almost attacked from behind by Goblins, but Dwarf Scout is able to protect him, however, she was wounded by a poisoned spear. Elf Acolyte uses his *Cure* Miracle to remove the poison and save her.

Once Young Warrior and Professor seriously wound the Warlock and retreat, Elf Acolyte and the other rookies plead Young Warrior to stay with them as a permanent Party member.

### Year One Volume 3

As Professor was teaching Young Warrior and Martial Artist to read and write, Elf Acolyte and Dwarf Scout were getting into their usual antics until Heavy Warrior collapsed from exhaustion. With Martial Artist volunteering the Party to take over his Party's quest, Elf Acolyte prepared to go on the quest.

*Note: Events in this point occur only in the manga*.
Journeying into a cave and falling into a *massive* underground city, he and his Party investigate while marveling at the intact but abandon city. They are joined by Gold-Ranked Adventurer Barbarian who aids the Party against the surprise attack of Chaos worshipping Dark Elves riding atop large spiders.

Elf Acolyte and his Party were able to fend off the Dark Elves with Barbarian's help and learn about the Dark Elves' plans to revive an old powerful king and his undead army for their plans. This goes horribly wrong though as the Undead King slays the Dark Elves and attacks everyone around him, causing a massive collapse of the cave. Elf Acolyte and his Party just make it out in the nick of time, ending the Dark Elves' plot and stopping the earthquakes.

*Note: End of Manga only events*.
