Mozgus is a tall, muscular and strong man with pale skin and blue eyes. His most distinguishing feature is his smooth, almost flat face that is the result of
his
self-mortification from praying while slamming his face a thousand times a day. During his prayers, and whenever he is angry, his face becomes swelled with veins and he takes on a much more intimidating appearance. He wears a traditional pontiff's garb, white with gold trimming and a red cloth that has the insignia of the Holy See, and a red wide-brimmed hat with ear covers.

After the [[Egg-Shaped Apostle]] turns him into an [[Apostle Spawn]], his transformed state being a reflection of his religious ideals, Mozgus gains large feathered wings and a hard, scaly hide.

who don't know him personally, Mozgus doesn't necessarily like torturing and executing people for heresy, but
he
has no guilt
about
it
whatsoever
because he
's
convinced it
's
for their own good. In his mind, torturing a person in the name of God is a necessary and sacred thing;
viewing
it as the only method of turning non-believers towards the light of the Lord. This is especially shown during his parable of the nun and the dying man, where he teaches [[Farnese de Vandimion|Farnese]] that
religious
people
have a mission to help others, and that as long as
you
have
good intentions,
you
can't be blamed if
your
attempts to help have negative consequences.

Mozgus has also shown a kind side towards the downtrodden, sick, poor, and misshapen and has been quite an upstanding figure towards the people of Albion.

doesn't fear death in the slightest and

immense valor, facing Guts in single combat despite knowing the odds
weren

would
finally be able to be with God in "heaven".

After being transformed into an Apostle Spawn, believing his new powers are a gift from the divine
, he displays the following attributes and abilities:
−
'''God's Armor:''' In his more monstrous form, Mozgus acquires a stone-hard scaly hide that covers his entire body. The armor is impervious to all weapons, even

formed

able to exploit this and blow the armor's crack open with the use of many explosives.

When the
[[
Holy See Religious Order
]]
hears of unrest in the city of St. Albion due to the rise of a pagan cult that has murdered some of their priests there, Mozgus is sent to root them out. Mozgus personally requests the [[Holy Iron Chain Knights]] as his personal guard to escort him among the refugees heading to Albion to escape the plague. On the way, the group is attacked by rebels who are out for revenge against Mozgus for slaughtering their loved ones
when
their village decided to restock their food supply rather than donate to the church. Ultimately, Mozgus expresses content that none among his faith died in the fight, the rebels failed and those that survived were lined up so the inquisitor
can
give them a lecture that dispatching their "heretical people" is part of Holy See doctrine. When one of the rebels vows that God will punish Mozgus for his actions, the inquisitor snaps and smashes his bible on the man's skull for speaking such blasphemy. Mozgus then regains his composure before ordering his disciples to execute the remaining rebels with death by {{W|breaking wheel|breaking wheel}} and resuming their journey.

Once in Albion, making residence in the [[Tower of Conviction]], Mozgus rules the city with an iron fist. Though the pagan cult have taken to
practice
their faith
to
the mountains surrounding Albion, Mozgus focuses on torturing those among the poor and starving population who he sees as threats to his faith. After the pagan cult
was
finally discovered with its surviving members captured, Mozgus assumes [[Casca]] to be their leader and considers torturing her for information on [[Guts]]. But, when Mozgus sees her [[Brand of Sacrifice]], he concludes that she is a witch and has her placed in an {{W|iron maiden|iron maiden}}. Believing what occurred soon after to be God's work, Mozgus unknowingly causes the first phase of the [[Incarnation Ceremony]] as the blood of countless victims within the tower stir to life. Mozgus is taken by his men to the chapel on top of the tower to protect their leader, only for them to all end up being sired by the
[[
Egg-Shaped Apostle
]]

The inquisitor, believing their transformation to be of divine origin, captures Casca after freeing her from the blood blob and spirits her off. Mozgus assumes at that time that the raising dead are Casca's doing and that the chaos will cease once she is burned at the stake. This leads to Mozgus fighting Guts in a heated battle. Mozgus
actually
has the upper-hand in the beginning, nearly killing Guts. However, Guts blows open the crack in Mozgus' armor
from
the
earlier attack that was stopped with his bible. Guts then drives his sword into the exposed flesh, dealing a fatal blow to Mozgus. As he dies, Mozgus smiles
at the fact
he can finally be united in
heaven
with God at last, but desires to kill Guts as well beforehand. With a final last-ditch attack, Mozgus grabs Guts and his blade so that they cannot escape and attempts to incinerate him. However, Guts uses his weight and flips Mozgus, causing him to stumble off the Tower of Conviction. Guts remarks that despite Mozgus' faith in God, he'll more than likely awaken in
hell
rather than
heaven
. With a final scream, Mozgus plummets to his death off the Tower and crashes into the crowd below as white feathers slowly descend upon his corpse.
