Dreyfus

"Although the captured had the power to realize that the inevitable Holy War would soon be upon us... In an attempt to avoid that war, he ordered us to lay down our swords... But that was a mistake! We, Holy Knights, are the swords that protect this kingdom!! Prepare for the Holy War! We cannot protect the kingdom by letting our swords rust away in peace! The future of Lyonesse requires you, Holy Knights', strength! Gather more men, and put the horses to work! Do not show mercy to them! These are the duties of the citizens who cannot fight and for whose benefit the war is fought to begin with! I promise you... We, the second Great Holy Knights, will lead this kingdom to victory in this Holy War!"

- Dreyfus' speech to the Holy Knights in Dark Pulse

Dreyfus (ドレファス) is one of the current Great Holy Knights, thus also making him one of the two people who have command over the entirety of Britannia after the coup d'état.

Appearance
Dreyfus's attire consists of a standard set of a Holy Knight's armor that has a spike on each shoulder. He has long black hair that reaches up to his shoulder, with a short beard.

Personality
Dreyfus is a serious Holy Knight who dedicated to his duties, being willing to even capture his king and enslave the citizens to help in the military efforts, in order to prepare for the Holy War.

Ongoing Arc
Dreyfus is introduced when he speeches the Holy Knights of Britannia about the king having made a mistake in trying to avoid the predicted Holy War, commanding all of them to prepare for it, and promising them that the current Great Holy Knights will lead the kingdom to victory. When the other Great Holy Knight, Hendricksen, comments that his speech was very gaudy, Dreyfus replies, saying that despite him not knowing whether the return of the Seven Deadly Sins and the prediction Holy War are coincidences, high troop morale must always be maintained. Suddenly, a knight enters the chamber and informs Dreyfus about an army of the Northern Barbarians, numbering three thousand, had begun an invasion and had annihilated the knights stationed nearby, with the knight even speculating if this was the Holy War. To stop the invasion, Dreyfus sends two of his Holy Knights, Gilthunder and Hauser, and after the two easily defeat the entire army and return to the castle, commends them for their work, and assures the latter that the "errand" the two had just completed was definitely not the Holy War. When Hauser states that since only the war itself was predicted, and not the kingdom's foe, no further action can be taken, to which Gilthunder expresses his suspicious of the foes being the Seven Deadly Sins. After Hauser's reply that even though said group of knights are legendary, they are only seven knights, Dreyfus states that even so, they, especially the Dragon's Sin of Wrath, Meliodas, are a threat that must be eliminated. He then proceeds to explain to them about Meliodas, who had once lost himself in his wrath, utterly destroying the kingdom of Danafor, a kingdom whose strength was equal to Lyonesse's, at that time. A bewildered Hauser questions this incredible feat, and then also mentions the supposed "New Generations" of Holy Knights, about whom Dreyfus asks Gilthunder, with him answering that in the past month, many Holy Knight apprentices, some of whom considered to be failures, are mysteriously gaining incredible strength, and that many apprentices have also gone missing. After Hauser optimistically considers only the benefits of the "New Generation" despite their mysterious origin and then leaves citing his busywork, Gilthunder goes closer to Dreyfus and informs him about Hendricksen's men having called for many apprentices, causing the Great Holy Knight to wonder what his colleague was plotting.

Abilities/Equipment
Dreyfus' abilities and equipments are as of yet unknown, but considering his position as a Great Holy Knight, he can be safely assumed to be one extremely powerful.
