The Unnamed Priest (神父,) is a minor character appearing in the first chapter of Crossfire. He is a priest in the relief center of The Vatican in the center of the Palestinian Refugee Camp, and was one of the many priests and nuns that was captured by the Islamic Extremists, Avlah Aqvalah and was taken as a hostage.

Appearance
An older, chubby man with a balding hair and grey facial features including a mustache, the Priest wore a normal priest clothing which includes an outfit dressed in all black; a cassock with a pair of trousers and a silver cross necklace finished up with a pair of black shoes.

Personality
In his short appearance, he appears as a scared man. Though it's justified as he was taken as a hostage by a group of extremists. Even so, he did a quite admirable act which was shown when he pleaded for Aphram, the leader of the extremists that took the group of priest and nuns hostage, to instead replace Yumiko Takagi, who was planned to be killed, in his place and told him to get his hands off of Yumiko.

History
While working as a priest in a relief center of The Vatican in a seemingly normal day, the relief center was soon raided by a group of Islamic Extremists called "Avlah Aqvalah" who took captive of the priests and nuns inside. Being thrown to Beka'a Plateau, multiple of the priests and nuns were shoot to death as the Priest and many others witnesses the terrifying act. He begged the leader named "Aphram" to stop doing this, but were ignored. After hearing Aphram ordering one of his man to take out the girl with the glasses on, he demands an explanation to why he would kill another one as the money's being prepared and is on its way, to which, Aphram states that there's no doubt Allah will rejoice if they can get the money and kill all of them infidels, a statement which scared the Priest.

Forcibly taken by her own will, Yumiko get's pushed to the ground. In response, the Priest begged for them to stop and tells them to take him in her place instead, which Aphram then sarcastically says that he's a gentlemen; so ladies first then laughs hysterically. Pointing his gun at Yumiko, he was stopped by one of his men who notices a member of the Vatican with a briefcase standing still. Suddenly, the Vatican agent there named "Heinkel Wulf" walks up and punches Yumiko in the jaw and sends her flying upwards and then to the ground shortly, an act that shocked everyone.

The place then turns into a shootout with many dead. Leaving them no choice, one of the extremists pulls out their AK-47 and aims it at the Priest and one other, and just then; his head was suddenly slammed to the wall next to him, killing him instantly; once again, shocking the Priest. Heinkel and Yumiko then goes on a murder spree, killing all of Aphram's men, to which, with no choice left, he grabs the priest by the neck and holds him hostage; pointing a gun to his head as the Priest fears for his life.

However after being insulted and falling for a bluff, Aphram lets go of the Priest and aims his pistol at Heinkel and Yumie, to which, unbeknownst to him, Heinkel was already near him and was fast enough to grab onto his head. Then, Heinkel grabs him by the jaw whilst pointing her pistol directly onto Aphram's head, who quietly whispers "Jesus" before being shot dead.

The duo then goes to the Priest and assures him that he's safe, to which, still scared, he tells them to stay away multiple times. Yumiko tries to reason with him but Heinkel drags her away and goes back to The Vatican. Then on the news, the Priest was interviewed and commented on about the fact that he's never been in a situation like that, and stated that he was sure that he was gonna die as he cries in shock.
