Middray

Middray (ミッドレイ) is a Dragonewt and the Head Priest of the Dragon Faithful that worships Milim Nava.

Appearance
Middray has the appearance of a tall, muscular bald man garbed in priest robes. A significant trait of his is the mole on the middle of his forehead.

Personality
Middray is a simple-minded battle maniac. He doesn't like to think too hard about complicated topics, and is quick to anger. However, in certain situations he's been shown to be capable of holding his cool, such as when he dealt with Yamza's unreasonable demands. A firm believer that all ingredients should be served raw and uncooked as he stubbornly insists that's the perfect offering for Milim. Unlike Hermes, he's foolishly oblivious to why Milim hardly shows up to eat their food - and on the rare occasions when she does, he fails to take note of the deadpan expression she shows when eating it.

As the Head Priest, Middray cares for his subordinates and will not forgive anyone who tries to hurt them. He takes pride of being a Dragon Faithful and does not hide his joy of showing his inner strengh. He also enjoys fighting against a strong opponent, just like he showed in his fight against Suphia. He holds great respect for his fellow fighters, giving compliments for their efforts.

He is a true believer that strategies can be surpassed and defeated with brute force. Not that he's exactly wrong; sheer stupidity can often work in one's favor.

The Octagram Soars Brightly
Midday is introduced alongside Hermes as both attempt to persuade Yamza, to have his army refrain from depleting more of their resources, reaching the limit of what they could provide. Yamza coldly rejects their plea and brings up that he's here to clean up the mess Milim made of Clayman's plans, and since he's provided a written edict from Milim herself, granting passage through her territory among other rights, the Dragon Faithful should cooperate with him to the best of their abilities. Middray begrudgingly accepts. Yamza then orders them to prepare troops for him, but Hermes let out a complaint to that, in which Yamza reacts by lopping his arm off. Before things could escalate, Middray sends Hermes flying to a nearby wall and apologizes to Yamza for Hermes' disrespect, and asks to let him handle his punishment. Yamza reluctantly leaves, successfully resolving the situation.

After getting a room to themselves, Middray releases his bottled anger as he heals Hermes' arm, spitting curses at Yamza for injuring a servant of Milim, to which Hermes retorts in his head that Middray is also guilty of the same crime. Following that, they're seen on the battlefield providing logistical support to Clayman's army. As they witness Yamza's force suffering significant losses to Rimuru's army, Gabiru and Suphia approach them. Following a few exchanges, they introduce themselves and state their affiliation with Milim, with the battle after that devolving to a sparring session on Middray's insistence. They continue going at it for a while but halted once they sensed Charybdis in the distance. They readied themselves to defend but not too soon was the threat swiftly dispatched by Benimaru. The next moment, Benimaru teleports in on them and notices the friendly atmosphere. After a few talks, the battle is officially over.
