A holy man, or a man pretending to be one (it is often hard to tell an ordained hypocrite from a shameless impostor), who, despite being ostensibly above such worldly desires, is one of the most perverted members of the cast, far more lecherous than any layperson. He's constantly eyeing up and making passes at girls, and often has a sizable stash of skin mags or other pornography.

Of course, since the [[Title Drop|Cold Stark House]] of Udolpho is cursed to be an eternal [[Death Is Cheap]] [[Soap Opera]] until its immortal patriarch dies.

* In the French Sci Fi novel ''[[Malevil]]'', the main character recalls his childhood priest. The Abbè Lebas is completely uninterested in the non-sexual confessions of the pre-teen boys and dismisses them with an impatient "Yes, yes. What else?". However, he wants ''every'' detail of any dirty thought or sexual action the boys might have to confess.

To be fair, Suzuki is an acquaintance of the father of girls' teacher, so he view them (including said teacher) as granddaughters. He does become {{spoiler|Nekata Tsu}}Nami's adoptive grandfather in some route.
