Character from Berserk by Kentaro Miura
The Holy See's most feared inquisitor — a man whose face was flattened by years of fanatical prostration and whose faith was so absolute it survived his transformation into a monster.
Mozgus was a walking paradox — a man of genuine compassion who tortured heretics without a shred of guilt because he believed God's purpose required blood. He recruited his disciples from the deformed and outcast, showed them real kindness, and then used them as instruments of religious terror. He was sensitive about anyone claiming to speak for God's will because that was his job. His transformation by the Egg of the Perfect World didn't change him — it amplified him. He became what he always believed he was: God's burning angel, armored in scripture and breathing holy fire. Guts defeated him by exploiting a pre-transformation wound — placing explosives in the gap in his armor and detonating them when Mozgus charged his flames.
Enormous at 222 cm and 145 kg, bald with a face literally flattened from decades of slamming it against stone floors in prayer. His features looked like they'd been pressed in a vice. After his pseudo-apostle transformation: stone-hard scaly armor, massive white angelic wings, and fire-breathing capabilities — he looked like a monstrous angel, which is exactly what he believed he was.
