Himmel is the human hero and leader of the Hero's Party that defeated the Demon King after a ten-year quest, alongside elven mage Frieren, dwarven warrior Eisen, and priest Heiter. Noble and compassionate, he cherished small moments like watching the Era Meteors, a meteor shower every 50 years. After the victory, the party disbanded, but Himmel aged and died of old age about 50 years later. His death prompts Frieren to reflect on her time with him and undertake a journey to the resting place of souls to bid him farewell. Even shortly after his passing, his legend begins fading from public memory.
