Clerics of the Seven Luminaries

The Seven Celestial Sages (七曜の老師) are the highest consultants of Western Saints Church and are responsible for overseeing different organizations and training new knights.

Background
Each one of them has surpassed the average Saint. They are legendary figures who have even trained Chosen Heroes in the past. They have completely masked their presence from the public eye and become legends that only live in fairy tales.

There is an extremely small group of people who have actually laid eyes on them. Only a few high-ranking officials within the Western Saints Church have had the honor of seeing these people.

The「Trials of Seven Celestials」that Hinata once went through was created by them. It was a trial used to select Heroes and Chosen Heroes. From knowing that they are responsible for the trial alone, you can tell the magnitude of their authority.

In reality, the so-called Seven Celestials are the highest consultants of Western Saints Church and are responsible for overseeing different organizations and training new knights. All of these assignments are given by Ruminas. Yet before Hinata came into her position, the Holy Knight Order was an organization with only their name but nothing to back it up. Even the Holy Knights are unaware of their actual existence. The Seven Celestials are the highest consultants of Western Saints Church and are responsible for overseeing different organizations and training new knights.

The Seven Celestial Sages are actually strong Humans who have received Ruminas's blessing and given a long lifespan in exchange for their services.

Chronology
Because they feared that the Priest Adalman would surpass their Sage status as a True Hero, they sent him to his death to face a Zombie Dragon.

They also tried to pit Hinata Sakaguchi against Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest.

They were killed after their plot to eradicate both Hinata and Rimuru was revealed.

Abilities
It is said that each one of them has surpassed the average Sages.

Trivia

 * The "Sage" part from the Seven Celestial Sages title (老師 rōshi) is different from the "Sage" in the Human Sage evolutionary stage (仙人 sennin). Both in general meaning and in-universe they are not directly related. In the first place, the Seven Celestials themselves are Human Saints.
