Archbishop Lola Stuart

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi

Lola Stuart is the Archbishop of Necessarius and also the English Anglican Church. Despite being the Archbishop, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl with long blonde hair that's 2.5 times her height; other than that, few details about her are known. New Testament Volume 18 reveals that she's actually Lola Zaza Crowley, Aleister's second daughter. But for the entire series, her body has been possessed by the demon Coronzon, who'd been summoned by Aleister's mentor Mathers in order to ruin him.

  • Adult Child: For all her mind-games and grand plots, most of the time you'll find her acting her appearance instead of her age.
  • Ambiguously Evil: She's done just as many evil deeds as she has good ones. It's hard to say whether she's a good person, a bad one or simply a neutral one. With the revelation of her/its real personality, it's safe to say that it's evil.

Stiyl: ""No one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values. The hidden dragon among magicians, she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply."

  • Authority Equals Asskicking: The leader of Necessarius, and a very competent magician - Knight Leader estimates her as being stronger than Kaori.
  • Batman Gambit: She knows very well which strings she should pull to control her subordinates.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She may look like a sweet, innocent teenager but people have to remember that she's the Archbishop of Necessarius. She's not afraid to use the powers bestowed upon her to eliminate her enemies in whatever means, all while she's smiling at you.
  • Bunny Ears Lawyer: Despite how childishly she acts, there's a reason she's the Archbishop.
  • The Chessmaster: She's capable of regularly matching wits with and sometimes even out-maneuver Aleister Crowley. If that doesn't qualify you nothing will.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Ditzy, somewhat absentminded, and goofy. They doesn't stop her from being an extraordinarily cunning bitch.
  • Demonic Possession: Has been possessed by Coronzon since the very beginning.
  • Dissonant Serenity
  • Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: She's Aleister's daughter, though he was still a magician at the time she was born.
  • Manipulative, Magnificent Bitch How magnificent is she? Let's start with the Book of Law incident.[1]
    • As Stiyl eloquently describes it: "...You bitch."
    • It's taken Up To Eleven in NT Volume 18, where she enters the Windowless Building and takes over Aleister's body, becoming the new ruler of the Science side! However, she doesn't anticipate Aleister being able to split himself up.
  • Odd Friendship: With Queen Elizard.
  • Older Than They Look: Her appearance hasn't changed that much since ten years ago. She'd be more than a century old, assuming that she shares the same date of birth as her real-life counterpart (1907).
  • Rapunzel Hair: It's literally 2.5 times her height, needing to be looped several times just to avoid touching the ground. Coronzon can manifest a sinister demonic face within the hair.
  • Running Gag: It's only shown once in the anime, but in the novels, Lola would often have her serious conversations derailed by the person in question awkwardly asking her why her Japanese sounds so weird (all thanks to Tsuchimikado teaching her Japanese). In a very awkward moment, Aleister even offered to send a Japanese teacher to help her out.

Stiyl -- "...don’t tell me you used such a stupid way of speaking to negotiate with the representatives from Academy City."

  • Stuff Blowing Up: How she escapes being tied up in Windsor Castle.
  • Telepathy: She possesses charms which facilitate this effect.

Fortis931 -- I Prove Why My Name is the Strongest Here

Voiced by: Kissho Taniyama

A sorcerer from Necessarius. His sorcery name is Fortis931. He’s an extremely heavy smoker, and claims a world without nicotine would be hell. He specializes in using runes to invoke his power over fire. He has a short temper but is actually very kind, as he cares about Index very much and used to travel around the world by her side when she copied the original grimoires into her mind. His failure to save her life without taking away her memories is his greatest regret.

  1. ↑ First, she asks the Knights of England for help to rescue Orsola Aquinas from the Amakusa Catholics, Kaori Kanzaki's former group. The Knights, being prideful jerkassess (Necessarius and the Knights have a uneasy relationship) decide to rescue Orsola all by themselves and kill the Amakusas. Unfortunately, Kaori doesn't take this too kindly and beats the crap outta them. Later, Lola sends Stiyl, Touma and Index to help Agnese and her battle nuns rescue Orsola. But then it is revealed the battle nuns came to kill Orsola as she knows how decode the Book of Law, so we assume Lola wants Orsola because of that. However by the end of incident, it is revealed Lola wasn't after Orsola but the Amakusas themselves, who by now have joined Necessarius for protection for their actions against Agnese's nuns and the Roman Catholic Church. The reason? By having the Amakusas under her control, Lola makes sure that Kaori remains loyal to Necessarius and has incentive not to betray them. Another plus for her? Not only did she gain a skilled decoder (despite her not actually being able to decode the Book all along), she even humiliated the Knights and gained the favor of the Queen!
