Idol Rabier is a major antagonist in The Rising of the Shield Hero franchise.

He was voiced by Taisuke Nishimura in Japanese and Tom Fahn in English.
Biography[]
????
Appearance[]
Rabier is an overweight, middle-age man with an unkempt mop of frilled, strawberry-blonde hair and a minimal mustache in the same color shaped like two small "leaves" over his upper lip. He dresses in elegent clothing of black, golden, and purple hues, with some white frills to match his royalty status, a dark purple cape, olive-yellow pants, black riding boots, and most of the time flaunted a cynical smile on his plump face.
Personality[]
At first glance, Rabier seems to be a kind and benevolent noble, but that is merely a façade that hides his true nature; that of an arrogant, vile and horrid little coward. He looks down on Demi-humans and, similarly to the Church of the Three Heroes, seems deluded into thinking that his horrid actions against them are a 'service to God', and that killing the "Devil of the Shield" will assure him a place in Heaven.
A horrific sadist, Rabier tortured helpless Demi-human children and left them to die out of starvation, malnutrition and/or their wounds. Often taking a sickening pleasure in their suffering and agony. On top of all this, Rabier is also extremely condescending and couldn't stand being looked down upon by anyone who he feels are lesser than him (which is likely everyone).
Despite his grandeur, not to mention true to form, Rabier was, is and always has been a true craven dastard when cornered by those more powerful, begging a vengeful Raphtalia for mercy when he never granted any to his slave stock which he gleefully tortured. Rabier was also shown to be incredibly disloyal, all but willing to kill his own soldiers, and the people of his domain when in a pinch.
Not only to save his own skin but further perpetuate self-righteous dementia, demonstrating how the noble cares for no one but himself. Not to mention being treacherous as he was vastly hypocritical. Willing to commit high treason and compound prior crimes with lies and falsehood to subjugate those he deemed an enemy to his faith. Something even Princess Melty found disfavorable as he moved in to assail her.

Trivia[]
- While slavery is legal in the kingdom of Melromarc, it is actually illegal to torture the slaves, meaning that Idol was indeed breaking the law of the kingdom with his horrid actions.
- Idol's name was only revealed in his anime debut, but not in the manga or light novel.
