Chapel the Evergreen

Anime

Appearance(s): Episode 22- Alternative, Episode 23- Paradise, Episode 24- Sin

We first see Chapel in episode 22, but we only see him from behind with his cross, and a green apple in his hand. He carries a cross like Wolfwood's, but it splits into two halves and both are machine guns. He wears strange (glasses, goggles, ????) over his eyes. They give him the appearance of having large eyes with no iris and red pupils. He is a tall man, but seems even taller because he wears a top hat.
Chapel is a priest with a cross that turns into guns. Does something remind you of Wolfwood? Well, they are so similar because when Nick killed his Guardian, Chapel took him in. He taught Nicholas how to use guns, and introduced him into the Gung-Ho Guns. Nick modeled his cross/gun after Chapel's cross.
In episode 23, Nick and Chapel fight. Wolfwood eventually shoots Chapel in the right shoulder. In an earlier confrontation with Vash, Wolfwood promised never to kill again, so he doesn't kill Chapel. Chapel decides not to shoot Nick after he lowers his gun. Wolfwood begins to turn away, but Legato takes control of Chapel and makes him shoot Wolfwood.
In Episode 24, Chapel goes to confront Legato. He is about to shoot when Legato breaks both of Chapel's arms and bends him over backwards and might have broken his back. Then Knives walks up and kills Chapel in a horrible way. It's almost as if a big black thing comes up and absorbs Chapel. Knives called it the "Ravine between life and death."
