Praise the Lord — and pass the ammunition. A preacher who is a good fighter and who belongs to a church that isn't the Church Militant. He has the ability to literally kick arse for the Lord. Given his day job, he is likely to be a Technical Pacifist or a Martial Pacifist. If he is an Actual Pacifist, he will simply take every blow without flinching and dare you to hit harder. At most, this version will employ Deadly Dodging. He often looks like a Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass. Sometimes he's the Christian equivalent of the Papa Wolf. He'll kick in the door and blow away anyone who dares harm his flock/congregation/head of church. It makes sense. If we are to love our neighbor and do unto others as we would have them do unto us, most would want someone to come to their rescue if they were being beaten, robbed, or worse. Proverbs 24:11 says "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter" and so someone who is supposed to watch over their flock like a shepherd would take action. They would not only help the victims, but to help prevent the bad guys from doing something that they will possibly regret forever if and when they come to their senses. Most would want a true friend to do that for them so that they can experience a Heel–Face Turn sooner and more easily, with less guilt on their minds, though Jesus can fix that problem. They may be someone who believes that fighting is okay under certain circumstances even when those above him in the church hierarchy don't, or someone who normally never fights who is forced to take action in an extreme situation. This trope applies to modern Catholics, Anglicans, many priests of Crystal Dragon Jesus, and Quakers. You rarely see Quakers in film without this trope getting invoked — though with that religion, the definition of "preacher" gets stretched. (So does the definition of "Quaker" — they're one of the few universally pacifist denominations.) If the clergyman had been a soldier, policeman, or the like before taking orders, it may overlap with Retired Badass. This trope does not apply to preachers in certain fundamentalist churches and rarely applies to priests of medieval Catholic churches. Those are covered under Church Militant and Warrior Monk — in those tropes the whole church is, or tries to be, badass. A Badass Preacher is a minority in his church hierarchy. If a badass person does not belong to a church hierarchy and is instead a pious layman, he's the Religious Bruiser. Related to Turbulent Priest who fights with his words. Subtrope of Real Men Love Jesus. Contrast with Sinister Minister who may be this man's Evil Counterpart. If the Lord Himself is kicking ass, that's Kung-Fu Jesus. |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: The episode "Hell" has Father Theo Berdette, who talks down a gun-waving parishioner while having a heart attack. Not to mention a seriously badass nun in recurring character Sister Peg, who is seriously injured by suspects more than once and keeps coming back to do the work she feels called to do. Sadly, she is killed in Season 12 by what was supposed to be a warning shot from a murder victim's daughter. |

Played with in God's Gun where Lee Van Cleef plays the Father John a small town's pacifist preacher. When a gang comes through, he ambushes them in the night taking their weapons and temporarily driving them off, until they return to kill him. It turns out he has an identical twin who was also a gunslinger, who comes back to play the vengeful ghost of his brother. | |

Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins has Leliana, a former Bard who had a Heel–Faith Turn and became a sister in the Chantry, who joins the Warden's party after (supposedly) having a vision from the Maker to help stop the Blight. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, she moves on to become the Spymaster of the Inquisition and depending on your actions can even become the Divine (the setting's equivalent of the Pope). In Dragon Age II, Sebastian is a Prince of Starkhaven and Former Teen Rebel who found faith after being sent to the Chantry, becoming a brother. Should Hawke decide to spare Anders during the endgame however, he turns into a Church Militant and leaves the party, planning to return to Starkhaven and raise an army, so he can raze Kirkwall to the ground (a threat that he makes good on in Dragon Age: Inquisition). |

The Long Night from Hunter: The Vigil is MADE of this trope. Devout Evangelists believing in the everloving God? Check. Calm, unassuming men whose faithful speeches are able to hold an audience for hours? Check. Will grab holy water and a shotgun without thinking if a member of their flock is threatened by a monster? Check, check, check. On top of that, they only break out the firepower if they need to — they believe most monsters are capable of redemption and try to help convince them of the proper path. Then there are members of the Knights of the Brotherhood of St. George, who are an order within the Anglican Church devoted to fighting sorcerers. At least, until you find out what they really serve. | |

Archbishop Turpin from the medieval epic The Song of Roland is incredibly badass; he accumulates a higher body count than any other character. He's the one to give the army the order to strike, not the titular Roland. The best part? Turpin orders the strike as the army's penance for their sins. | |

Played slightly with Brother Gilbert in Dragonheart. An Actual Pacifist, he finds himself drawn into war against the evil King Einon... at which point it is discovered that what he lacks in poetic ability he makes up for in skill with a bow. Listening to him quoting biblical line as he plants arrows in the enemy was a mixture of funny and awesome, topped only by the moment when he put an arrow through Einon. Einon got better, but still... | |

Batman: Arkham Knight gives us a villainous example through Deacon Blackfire, an tough old man attempting to fight Batman after declaring him a non-believer of his religion. Subverted, however, because Batman's battle with Deacon Blackfire is a Curb-Stomp Battle in Batman's favour, due to Blackfire being an Adaptational Wimp. | |

Fire Emblem: Since a good part of the backstories are rooted in the local myths and religions, we meet many badass preachers of both genders who join the groups either as healers or as fighters/offensive magic users. Sacred Stones gives us L'Arachel, Natasha and Father Moulder. The Jugdral games give us Edain, Claude, Edain's daughter Lana (and Mana) and a well-raised Corpul (and Sharlow) in Genealogy; and the well-raised Safy, Tina, and Sleuf in Thracia (And in the backstory, Bragi and Saint Maera). The Elibe games give us Saul (though he's also a Handsome Lech until it's time to get serious), Elen and Yoder in Binding Blade; and Lucius, Renault and potentially Serra in Blazing Blade (and Saint Elimine in the whole backstory). Fire Emblem: Awakening gives us Libra, the axe wielding war monk of Naga. He is a genuinely humble, faithful and devoted man of the cloth, and when he first appears as an NPC ally character during Chapter 9, he's likely to maul his way single-handedly through a significant chunk of the enemy units if the player doesn't hurry to recruit him. Really, the War Monk/Cleric class, which is Libra's default class is made out of this trope (and Combat Medic), even spawning the "NUNS WITH AXES!" meme in the fandom. By default, clerics and priests are non-combatants who can only heal their allies, at least until they get promoted. The War Monk/Cleric promotion allows healers to wield huge two-handed axes in combat against their enemies. Brady is one as well, except that he isn't as much into the preacher part. Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us Rhea, the Archbishop of the Church of Seiros. She's a powerful Lady of War who wields swords and magic with equally strong proficiency, and is also shown to have skill with her fists. She's also Saint Seiros herself, who fought and defeated Nemesis with her fists. |

Relg from the Belgariad is the leader of a heretical sect of Ul worshippers, and spends most of his time wangsting about the possible sinfulness of his actions, or ranting against the mainstream of Ul worship. He manages to beat down severe agoraphobia to follow the hero on his quest, proves to be very skilled with the horribly mutilat-y knives his people favours, and at one point pushes a man into a rock (and that's into, not through) without breaking a sweat. | |

Many clerics in Dark Souls are not just preachers but holy warriors who are extremely dangerous in combat: Of particular note is Oswald of Carim, the bishop of the goddess of sin. The Flavor Text of his items go out of his way to point out that he is an inhuman swordsman. If you attack him, you'll know it is perfectly accurate. Havel the Rock, famously one of the strongest and toughest fighters ever known, is also a bishop of the Way of White. He is credited with inventing the Magic Barrier and Great Magic Barrier miracles, which block magic attacks (Havel was highly opposed to sorcery, as his sworn enemy Seath the Scaleless invented it). |

Father Barry from On the Waterfront. When the ex-prizefighter Terry Malloy is behaving in a wild and irrational fashion, Fr. Barry tries to calm him down by punching him in the face and knocking him across the room. They then sit down for a nice cold beer.

Archbishop Alonsus Faol of Warcraft. Not only did the Archbishop lead his church into battle during the First War, he later founded the paladin Order of the Silver Hand. Paladins are not treated as specifically clergy in World of Warcraft, but Uther Lightbringer began as a priest. Shadow priests. What they lack in healing and buffs compared to other priests, they easily make up in damage. |

Revered Ray in Call of Juarez. One of the highlights of the game is the ability to read fiery bible passages in the middle of battle. For example riding a mine cart bible in one hand, burning dynamite in the other preaching damnation and eternal suffering. He was a former bandit, who slaughtered his way across the West before finding God, and can be summed up with this quote from the Eurogamer review: | |

Embrace of the Serpent: In the Amazon jungle in 1909, a small group of explorers come across a mission. When the priest sees them, he picks up a suspiciously handy rifle, cocks it, aims it at the party, and shouts "We have no rubber!" He does not put the gun down until the party have convinced him that they are not involved with the rubber trade. On the other hand … as well as protecting his flock's bodies from the rubber traders, he is also keen to save their souls from pagan religion. In the 21st century, we would call this eradicating native culture. | |

In Blue Exorcist, demons are the enemies. Several characters fall into the category of Badass Preacher, from the gunslinging Yukio to the bible-reciting Bon (certain bible verses can banish demons. He recites the entire book of John at one in order to achieve certain victory) but the most notable and straightest example of the trope is Posthumous Character Shiro, who has spent his entire life resisting Demonic Possession by Satan and still finds time to be an excellent Exorcist, father and generally badass. | |

Father Grigori from Half-Life 2. After everyone else in his hometown was turned into headcrab zombies, he made it his personal mission to "free them from their torment" ... by killing them all with death traps and his rifle Annabelle (to his credit, he tried to remove the headcrabs first, but went with the "kill em'all" idea since removing the headcrab kills his host). So well liked, he appears in a Half-Life 2 fan-made prequel. | |

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade had Eliphas the Inheritor, Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers Legion. Although most space marines are Warrior Monks of a Church Militant by default, Eliphas is extraordinary religious even by their standards and rejected the normal imperial dogma for a Religion of Evil. Most of his banters with the other commanders involves either talking about the power of the dark gods, or mocking his opponents' faiths or lack thereof. | |

Zorro: Fray Felipe is this in The Mark of Zorro. He taught Zorro to use a sword. At one point, he tells the villains he plans to "ask God to reward them according to their merits." Padre Filipe in The Legend of Zorro. A scrawny-looking, unassuming priest who punches out mooks (and who braves bullets to conceal Zorro's identity)? That approaches even Zorro's level of badass. |

The police were too scared of the highwaymen in the area, so he went alone, unarmed and on foot, and not only got where he was going, but also managed to talk convince a band who tried to mug him to leave him alone. Oh, and he was well over 70 at this point. | |

The Dresden Files: Father Forthill may not seem terribly tough now, but in his youth as a seminarian, he and a few others heard of a vampire that had killed two people in their town, manned up, and put the bloodsucker back in its grave. Then they all got drunk and got tattoos. Note that these are Dresden vampires, the weakest of which are White Court vampires who can rip through concrete walls and tear people apart like tissue paper, and they get progressively nastier. Harry also has to contend with a retired Army Chaplain going postal over Harry's stewardship of the Swords of the Cross. |

Supernatural: Though his first appearance is also his last, there's an argument to be made for Pastor Jim being one of these at some point or another. Pastor Gideon in the episode "99 Problems". Living in the early stages of the Apocalypse can make people quite paranoid, which is why Pastor Gideon takes a shotgun with him everywhere he goes. He even agrees to attempt to slay the Whore of Babylon, who can only be defeated by a servant of God. Jacob Karns after he killed 13 prostitutes using his Hook Hand. |

Martin and Jauffre in Oblivion. Both are priests who are clearly competent in combat, with the former being the heir to the throne and the latter the former leader of the Blades, the emperor's personal bodyguards and spies. Since the Order of Talos often overlaps with the Blades, it's to be expected that any Cyrodiilic Talos preacher could be a secret badass. | |

Mightily Oats in Discworld. Early in Unseen Academicals, Mr. Nutt says, "He brought...Forgiveness." Late in Unseen Academicals, it's revealed that Forgiveness, while he may have brought the concept as well, happens to be the name of his axe. And it's implied to be the same axe from Carpe Jugulum, which was transformed from a simple, ordinary axe, into a weapon that could hurt vampires, all because of his earnest faith. Preceded by 100 years by Brutha, the last believer in his god, who becomes first an Archbishop, and soon after a Prophet and the Cenobiarch (the absolute leader of the church). He then reinvents the whole church, turning it from basically a militaristic and totalitarian society into a religious debating house, by being purely Badass Pacifist! |

Joshua Graham in Fallout: New Vegas. A Mormon Missionary and the co-founder/former Legate of Caesar's Legion, after surviving being set on fire and tossed into the Grand Canyon by Caesar for losing the First Battle of Hoover Dam, he rekindled his faith and rejoined the Mormon Church. He now defends the Dead Horses tribe against the White Legs, still holding onto his fury and General Ripper tendencies. He remains entirely willing and able to murder the hell out of anyone who makes the mistake of threatening his fellow Mormons or the tribals in their care. Although depending on your actions he can be persuaded to show mercy and become less bloodthirsty, and he avoids the usual trappings of this trope by being very aware of his flaws and weaknesses. In terms of game mechanics, it seems his faith is a very good shield, because he can shrug off anything short of an anti-tank rifle (his DT is 50, the Courier has to wear Powered Armor to even reach 30) despite only wearing a bulletproof vest and some bandages. He's also a very good with that pistol of his, and can utterly murder the final boss of the DLC without your intervention. Evidently this is something of a commonality with the New Canaanites, as Joshua mentions that learning how to use a handgun is a rite of passage. His counterpart Daniel, while much more peaceful, is armed with a Tommy gun and is fully prepared to use it to protect the tribals under his care. | |

Surviving, he later returns to camp as a preacher, turning the other cheek to the physical and verbal abuse of his former boss until Sy makes the mistake of mocking the Bible itself, prompting Andy to stab him: "God is not mocked, you son of a bitch!�. | |

In Quazi, Protopresbyter Pyotr turns out to be the legendary Army Captain Pyotr Melenkov, who repelled the Risen attack on Moscow during the days of the Zombie Apocalypse by positioning his tanks along the Ring Road. His fame nearly made him President, but he left the public eye in remorse over killing so many people, even if they were undead, and joined the Church. He volunteers to join Denis and Mikhail to enter the Temple that holds over a thousand hungry Risen. When asked by Denis whether Pyotr believes in God (considering the undead situation), Pyotr answers that it doesn't matter, all that matter is that God believe in him. He ends up making a Heroic Sacrifice to keep the undead horde from being unleashed on Moscow and is torn to pieces, leaving nothing to Rise. | |

Sons of Anarchy: A rather more morally ambiguous version is Father Kellan, a Catholic priest and a senior figure in the IRA — and physically capable of hurling a man half his age across a room.

Exalted features as the foremost example the Zenith Caste of the Solar Exalted. They have access to Presence and Performance Charms that allow them to capture the hearts and souls of their audience, spreading the word of the Unconquered Sun and his virtues. They also have access to Integrity Charms that allow them to fend off the most intense of mental assaults, Resistance Charms that turn their bodies as hard as steel, and Survival Charms that make them capable of surviving in the desert for years. Oh, and their Anima burns the undead. Their corrupted equivalents, the Midnights (of the Abyssals) and the Malefactors (of the Infernals), are just like them, only twisted. The Midnights have the ability to raise the dead as mindless zombies and mostly serve the cause of Oblivion, whereas the Malefactors follow Cecelyne the Endless Desert and try to establish spiritual and physical wastelands based on the rule of strong over weak. | |

In Ushio and Tora, Ushio's father Aotsuki Shigure. At a first glance he's a lazy good-for-nothing bonze who's not even devoted enough to shave his head and is often away from home. Then we learn not only that he's a high-ranked member of the Kouhamei sect of buddhist who genuinely wants to spread the word of Buddha, but also one of the strongest youkai-slaying monks the sect ever had, being able to go toe to toe with Tora, an over 1000 years old Youkai who regularly eats other monsters for breakfast, like nothing. Almost all the other members of the Kohamei count, the sole exception being the manga-only Kyoura (who was excommunicated for being too much of a Blood Knight.) | |

Fire Emblem: Awakening gives us Libra, the axe wielding war monk of Naga. He is a genuinely humble, faithful and devoted man of the cloth, and when he first appears as an NPC ally character during Chapter 9, he's likely to maul his way single-handedly through a significant chunk of the enemy units if the player doesn't hurry to recruit him. Really, the War Monk/Cleric class, which is Libra's default class is made out of this trope (and Combat Medic), even spawning the "NUNS WITH AXES!" meme in the fandom. By default, clerics and priests are non-combatants who can only heal their allies, at least until they get promoted. The War Monk/Cleric promotion allows healers to wield huge two-handed axes in combat against their enemies. Brady is one as well, except that he isn't as much into the preacher part. | |

The Cleric class in Dungeons & Dragons: Clerics are usually relegated to being the team Healer and general diplomatic representatives, (being preachers and all). Take the right domains, and you're filled with more Divine Wrath than a party of Paladins, even if your god is Olidamarra (god of trickery and general non-combatant). It helps that they have the 2nd best attack progression in the game and can cast Sodom-&-Gomorrah-style spells while stomping around in full-plate suits of Adamantine armor! And those who choose to worship someone like St. Cuthbert (the god of retribution) Heironeous (god of valor) to name just two, can kick some serious ass; clerics of both gods tend to be potent fighters. Clerics who worship Pelor (the god of the sun) aren't slouches either, and seeing as they can also have potent healing abilities, he's a popular choice. And if you decide to take a little feat called Divine Metamagic (Persist Spell) and start casting Divine Power,, you get the best attack progression in the game as well as casting the said death-from-on-high magic. Fourth Edition features the build known as the "Zap Cleric". Clerics who go around, as the article puts it, "Shooting People in the Face With Lasers." Clerics in Fifth Edition is considered one of, if not the most versatile class. Because they gain power from the god they worship, they have the highest number of subclasses, and a fair number of those (such as War, Forge and Tempest) are excellent physical fighters. Even Life-domain clerics can use heavy armor and deal good damage in physical combat. And that's only the physical stuff. The Light-domain turns a cleric into a fire-and-laser-spewing war machine. |

Father Simon Wales from BioShock 2. First he built cathedrals on the surface. Then he designed much of the underwater city of Rapture. Then he found his faith again, and built a chapel and a devoted church membership in an Objectivist dystopia. Then he led them in a victorious crusade against his brother's crime syndicate, after realizing his brother had crossed the Moral Event Horizon and was irredeemably corrupted by Rapture. Afterwards, he and his flock took control of one of the primary pumping stations of said underwater city, and used it to hold a large chunk of the rest hostage. Whether you see him as a Knight Templar or a Well-Intentioned Extremist Driven to Villainy, his status as a Genius Bruiser of a Badass Preacher is inarguable. | |

Alien³ has Dillon, a former rapist and murderer who turned to god while imprisoned on Fury 161, starting up his own congregation among the convicts. In the events of the film he beats the hell out of Junior and his gang when they try to rape Ripley and manages to fight the Alien itself to a standstill, in a big Heroic Sacrifice that also serves as his own personal redemption for his past sins. | |

TheMusketeers features Pastor Ferrand, a Huguenot priest who used to be a soldier of fortune, before he found God (or, rather, God found him). Has absolutely no problems with confronting four of the King's finest with only a sword. They are, after all, at a disadvantage, since the Pastor has God on his side. | |

He singlehandedly organizes the town's defense force, and, at the finale, uses a herd of pigs to lure all of the zombies into a baseball field full of explosives that he then sets off, destroying them all. | |

Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing looks like one of these, but he wears the clerical collar more as a memento of the priest and nun who took care of him and were killed during the war. Later in the Frozen Teardrop novel, he has a role in tending to a church (as does his ex-wife Hilde), but it's more of a front for his Bounty Hunter work. | |

Longinus in Far Cry 4 is an African priest(possibly from the same fictional African country in Far Cry 2), who also works as an Arms Dealer for the Golden Path. He used to be a warlord before receiving a bullet to the head. After surgery saved his life, Longinus underwent a Heel–Faith Turn, and now works as The Atoner for past atrocities. Longinus has some pretty skewed views on religion, as shown when he asks "What gun would Jesus use?" despite Jesus being an advocate for peace, and he gives his guns nicknames based on Biblical passages and sometimes uses them to point at Ajay without checking if the safety catch is on, but there's no denying, he has a deep, confident voice and he's dedicated to his mission of atoning. As for "Badass", while we never see Longinus fighting anyone, he at one point goes stalking after a smuggler who obtained a box of blood diamonds that Longinus sold back when he was a warlord, and what does he take with him as ammunition? A literal RPG. | |

The entire order of Corbettites from Girl Genius. Corbettite trains can, will, and on many occasions have shot their way through a wide variety of horrific constructs and clanks wandering the Wastelands that threatened their railways. The monks are so well regarded for their toughness that when the Old Heterodynes accidentally made something so dangerous that it scared them, they entrusted it to the Corbettites for safekeeping. And the monks were able to successfully extract concessions from them (which the Heterodynes actually honored for centuries) in return for doing so. | |

The Invisible Man: as a result of some experimental counteragent, Darien goes into Stage 5 Quicksilver Madness and the Quicksilver he leaves behind causes Infectious Insanity for anyone that touches it. One of those people happens to be Father Moore (Darien and Kevin's childhood priest). He remains in control and no one notices anything unusual, until one of his Sunday School students confesses that his father (Joe) regularly beats him. Moore decides to go pay Joe a visit. After confronting him with this knowledge and talking about the pressure of knowing so many ghastly secrets that he could previously do nothing about, he nearly beats Joe to death. Moore is only stopped by Darien's intervention. | |

Father Gabriel from The Walking Dead (2010) was a total Dirty Coward before enduring the Zombie Apocalypse. After he Took a Level in Badass, he became a full-fledged zombie killer like his friends and will protect his followers and his community from outside threats. By late Season 6, Gabriel even starts to channel Jules Winnfield and recites Bible passages right before finishing off one of the Saviors. And after the Season 9 Time Skip, he's now a stone-cold badass when it comes to facing both zombies and human enemies. | |

M*A*S*H: It didn't show that often, but Father Mulcahy had his moments, such as helping a wounded soldier relax and wait for treatment by punching him (the patient did throw the first punch), or convincing Greek and Turkish soldiers to stop arguing with a speech from "the book of Threats" as the clerk put it. He also disarmed a soldier who threatened him with a rifle at point-blank range once and once performed an emergency tracheotomy under enemy fire. He also routinely carried out potentially dangerous dealings with the black marketeers and in the series finale braved enemy shelling to bring a group of POW's into shelter at the cost of his hearing. He once rode in one stretcher pod of a helicopter to balance the single, badly wounded man in the other pod. He was so frightened, he was completely unaware that they had landed even after Col. Potter started talking to him, and had gripped the pod so tightly he was unable to release his own grip. When Frank Burns is accusing orphans of stealing in the OR, Potter asks Mulcahy to "help Major Burns scrub up." Mulcahy does this by twisting Frank's arm, bending it behind his back, and marching him out forcibly, causing Frank to yell "What are you DOING? Priests aren't supposed to hurt people!" He talks Klinger into handing him a live grenade with which he planned to blow up Frank, and later finds and re-inserts a pin into a grenade wielded by a patient in OR, saving everyone's bacon. "Ahh, there's nothing so relaxing as whomping the living daylights out of something!" Even though he felt a considerable amount of guilt afterwards, Mulcahy responds to being punched by a panicking soldier with a roundhouse punch of his own in the episde "Dear Sis." "I do believe people are essentially good...but sometimes you gotta put 'em in a half-nelson to get 'em to cough up." |

He was the first person to climb the World Tree on his own and returned with the Core Crystals of Logos and Pneuma as proof, assassinated Praetor Rhadallis via poisoning to usurp his title as Praetor, kickstarted the Flesh-Eater and Blade-Eater projects whilst becoming a Blade-Eater himself, and is revealed to be the game's Greater-Scope Villain responsible for corrupting Malos and causing destruction on Alrest in his wake. And all this, while he leads the Indoline Praetorium and preaches the gospel of the Architect. | |

World War Z offers at least two examples: The first, and most detailed, is an interview with an army chaplain who took it upon himself during the war to kill all infected soldiers (who were previously expected to kill themselves) as a holy mission. This leads to priests assuming positions of some power in Russia, which ends up as theocratic state after the war. The second is Sister Montoya, a hundred-pound, fifty-something nun who was apparently mid-lesson in a Sunday school class when zombies attack. The sister grabs a metal candle holder taller than she is and defends her young students by bashing some zombie heads in. She holds off the undead hordes for nine days before they are rescued by the army, in which she later enlists. This is an anecdote mentioned in passing, which should tell you a good bit about the badassery that happens in the rest of the book. |

The title character of Doctor Syn ("The Scarecrow"). "Scarecrow" is the frightening costume he wears to lead his gang of smugglers in Romney Marsh, evading and outwitting the British army. Syn avoids violence as much as possible (he even saves the life of a traitor by deliberately giving him dud cargo to be exposed in court and then faking a hanging to satisfy his gang) and acts as a Guile Hero, but he does resort to non-lethal means a few times, such as when he mugs a press-gang for their uniforms. | |

At the climax of the movie, the preacher, up in the cupola of his church, watches the Germans deploying to face the citizens of the town, who are marching down to the town square to attack them. The pastor prays to God to forgive people that are fighting for their freedom. Then he whips out a previously unseen machine gun and wipes out the German skirmish line. | |

In Last Night on Earth, the priest class is not allowed to use guns, which normally would be pretty crippling. However, unlike other characters, he does not have to discard the "Faith" card which gives him an extra die for melee and the cards stack, which can potentially make a priest the best melee fighter in the game. He also can also sacrifice one HP to stop an event card played by zombies, which can potentially save the day. | |

A good amount of the Olacion Order in Radiata Stories are part of this trope. The members of the Order can be classified as either your standard healer priests or bare-handed martial artists.

Gordon, from Rune Factory 2, has a scar over his right eye, which he apparently got from fighting a dragon. With his bare hands. He's a pacifist now, but he still gets very excited over the idea of punching things. Gerard from Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny qualifies as well. He was a former captain of an unspecified army known and was known as the "Silver-Eyed Demon," but he made a Heel–Face Turn after looking through a town that his troops raided, and found the newly orphaned Quinn and Kelsey. Upon realizing the consequences of his actions, he adopted Quinn and Kelsey, left the army, and became a priest. In one of his friendship events, a soldier from his former army tries to convince him to join back up, and he scares the soldier stiff before explaining to him his reasons for leaving. Even Pandora is terrified of him. |

The Great Brain: In Papa Married a Mormon, Reverend Holcomb starts out as a traveling fire and brimstone preacher out to save the rowdier locals and annoys Will so much that Will challenges him to stand in a chalk circle, preaching for twenty-four hours nonstop. If he does so, Will will help him build a church, but if not, he'll have to leave town. The next twenty-four hours see Holcomb's sermon interrupted by gunfights, domestic quarrels, runaway horses, and a fire (most but not all of which are staged by Will's friends out to frighten Holcomb out of the circle), but he always keeps on preaching from his circle and wins the bet. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In general throughout the series, badass priests and other religious leaders appear quite frequently, even outside of the more Church Militant organizations. Priests and the like are usually quite able to defend themselves, and many come with offensive spells to blast the non-believers and other threats. (Tamriel's Adventure Friendly and extremely dangerous nature largely justify the need for even servants of the gods to be able to defend themselves.) Martin and Jauffre in Oblivion. Both are priests who are clearly competent in combat, with the former being the heir to the throne and the latter the former leader of the Blades, the emperor's personal bodyguards and spies. Since the Order of Talos often overlaps with the Blades, it's to be expected that any Cyrodiilic Talos preacher could be a secret badass. In Skyrim, Erandur is a priest of Mara (and former worshiper of the Daedric Prince Vaermina). Equally dangerous with his fire spells and mace, he is one of the most heavily used followers in the game. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire: Thoros of Myr is a Red Priest who is not particularly interested in his own religion and has become a Boisterous Bruiser. He's won a few melees and distinguished himself on the battlefield while swinging a flaming sword. Later he regains his faith and becomes even more badass. Aeron Damphair is a priest of the Drowned God and accompanies reaving parties. His fellow priests, the drowned men, wield driftwood cudgels as part of their get-up. He and the rest are all initiated by being voluntarily drowned and brought back to life. Melisandre is a Red Priestess of R'hllor and wields fire-and-shadow related powers along with Blood Magic. Although she tends to stick to the role of adviser, you'd have to be insane to try taking her on directly: if she can BBQ an eagle mid-air and create magical, ninja-shadow-baby-things that can cut flesh, you don't want to find out what else she can do. Subverted by Septon Utt, a Sinister Minister who is part of a bloodthirsty mercenary company and wears chainmail over his septon robes. He's captured while cowering under a staircase and is never seen fighting. |

While the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun in Fading Suns has subsects that certainly form a Church Militant, there is also the Sanctuary Aeon (Amaltheans), a healer sect, and the mainline Orthodoxy, which is not particularly martial in itself (mostly relying on the other sects to be their muscle). An Orthodox priest could certainly be an ex-special ops veteran or somesuch, and both willing and quite able to kick a blasphemer's sorry behind into orbit. And while the stereotypical Amalthean is an Actual Pacifist, it's entirely permissible for one to be a Martial Pacifist Combat Medic who focuses as much on defending the weak as on healing them. | |

Pontiff Xavi of Sengoku Basara is the head of his own self-created religion of "Xavism" (portrayed as a Parody Religion of Catholicism with elements of Scam Religion) who dual-wields large cannons in combat. While he might be both a bit of a Love Freak and a scam artist, he's also willing to lead his faction to battle though in later games, Otomo Sorin is the de facto head of Xavism due to the Pontiff being Put on a Bus. While Sorin himself is also willing to fight for his faith upon a miniature tank made in Xavi's image, he's more of a Sissy Villain. | |

Jesse Custer of Preacher has it in his series's title, but he may or may not count, as he's left the ministry by the time the series begins. Then again, his Compelling Voice is explicitly the Word of God. Jesse's a badass both before and after his time as an actual preacher, but not during. He's been forced into the role by his family and is in the middle of a nervous breakdown when we meet him. Though technically he never leaves his job, his congregation just gets wiped out when he gets Cursed with Awesome. | |

An awful lot of prophet heroes from The Bible. Elijah, for example, is a prophet and preacher who survives living under a corrupt regime, kills a whole bunch of Baal-worshippers after proving their god false, and outruns a chariot. His padawan, Elisha, could command attack bears. Moses and Aaron stood up to the Egyptian Pharaoh, and would later become the chief prophet and chief priest respectively. Oh, and then there's Jesus, who when not preaching personally out-argued Satan, singlehandedly managed to separate a courtyard full of Jews from their money with a whip, and managed to keep enough composure while mid-crucifixion to ask the Lord to forgive the men who killed Him. | |

He's not an actual preacher (he claims the church rejected him), but in this universe, close enough. His purpose in the tournament is to get the demon out of his head. His reward?

Gerard from Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny qualifies as well. He was a former captain of an unspecified army known and was known as the "Silver-Eyed Demon," but he made a Heel–Face Turn after looking through a town that his troops raided, and found the newly orphaned Quinn and Kelsey. Upon realizing the consequences of his actions, he adopted Quinn and Kelsey, left the army, and became a priest. In one of his friendship events, a soldier from his former army tries to convince him to join back up, and he scares the soldier stiff before explaining to him his reasons for leaving. Even Pandora is terrified of him. | |

Tiberium Wars: The Black Hand in general. Every one of these warrior-priests is a trained soldier, but they are also clad in heavy powered armor and typically armed with either a flame-projector or a laser rifle. Brother-Captain Allen in particular is a stand-out example, as not only will he kill you for breaking the laws of the Brotherhood, but he'll do it by yelling out your offenses while smashing your head on a wall, and then throw you out a very high window. | |

Game of Thrones: Thoros of Myr mixes combat with spreading the good news about the Lord of Light. Aeron Greyjoy. It's not very clear, but back in Season 1, Tyrion says Theon's uncles were responsible for the destruction of the Lannister fleet and the burning of Lannisport, the absolute high mark of the First Greyjoy Rebellion. Euron and Aeron are Theon's only uncles, so it stands to reason Aeron is (or was) one Hell of a reaver. In the books, Euron came up with the plan to burn Tywin's fleet at anchor, but Balon's other brother Victarion carried it out. Victarion was cut from the TV show. Aeron did take part in the battle in the novels, but only as the commander of his own ship. The line that "your uncles were responsible" was intentionally ambiguous, so the TV show could later say that Tyrion meant that both Euron and Aeron were involved in some fashion, without needing to introduce Victarion. |

Duane Adelier, one of the main protagonists of Unsounded is a shining example. He is one of, if not the, strongest characters in the story due to a combination of his great prowess at pymary, the setting's magic, and his physical combat skills that came from his time in the military. Combine that with his supernatural strength and immunity to pain due to being undead, and you have an almost unstoppable warrior. He is also one of the most devout characters in the story and was a high ranking priest before he died. Even in death he remains very devout despite his continued existence as a (sentient) zombie being considered an abomination to his religion. | |

From the sadly now defunct fantasy Warhammer game, any Warrior Priest of the Cult of Sigmar. Luthor Huss the wandering Prophet of Sigmar is everything cool about Warrior Priests dialed up - he takes his job very seriously. Likewise Volkmar von Hindenstern, known by his sobriquet "the Grim", the Grand Theogonist (i.e. the Pope equivalent of the Sigmarite Church), who has nerves and will of solid steel and is more than capable of kicking ass either solo or at the head of an army. | |

This does happen in Friendly Persuasion (which is about a Quaker community and is set during The American Civil War). This could be considered an aversion, since the main character chastises his son for getting into a fight, and then, after being unwillingly drafted, refuses to kill an enemy soldier when he has the chance. | |

The Priesthood of Rathma in the Diablo setting regularly sends out their priests to combat evil, as they believe in the Balance Between Good and Evil.

Many examples in Everyday Saints. Justified, since in Soviet Russia, priests usually had to literally fight for their churches and parishes. To name a few: Abbot Alipiy once threatened a KGB group he’ll chop off their heads with an axe if they dare to demand the monastery’s closure. And it worked. At another moment, the same abbot in response to the same demands said that half his brothers were former soldiers (which was true) and they had enough weapons to fight for the monastery to the last (which was, the narrator says, a bluff – probably). Brother Alexander beat up – all by himself – an entire group of delinquents who shouted out blasphemies. |

The Book of Mormon: Prophets often had other professions. Sometimes these professions were in the army. Alma the Younger, as well as being the high priest over the whole church, fights Amlici in personal combat and kills him, ending his rebellion. Ammon the son of Mosiah goes as a missionary into Lamanite lands and serves their king as a shepherd. He faces an entire band of robbers at once, killing six of them with a sling and then using his sword to cut the arms off any of them that try to close the range, "and they were not few in number." The king is very impressed by his feat, but Ammon gives God the credit and pivots into teaching him the gospel. Mormon, the primary editor of the book and a prophet, is also chosen as the supreme leader of the Nephite armies at the age of sixteen. He's only able to preach to his own people on a few selected occasions, because the rest of the time they're so wicked that God refuses to send him out, but he uses the book as an opportunity to exhort the reader, until finally his armies are wiped out and the Lamanites hunt him down and kill him. |

League of Legends has Illaoi, the Kraken Priestess, a badass preacher for an equally badass god: a tentacled Eldritch Abomination called Nagakabouros. Her religion is based on "motion," encouraging all people, regardless of morality, to actively satisfy and fight for their desires rather than remain stagnant and submissive, and her method of preaching her wisdom is beating the crap out of you until you learn to fight for your life. Nagakabouros is not a gentle god. | |

The title character of Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto, Cesare Borgia, is already a bishop at 16 years old, and demonstrates his combat abilities against the Barbaric Bully Henri, one of his rivals at the University of Pisa. He's also a scholar, and he sings a duet with an apparition of Dante Alighieri debating the ethics of being both a priest and a warrior. Anti-Villain Giuliano della Rovere (the future "Battle Pope") has no qualms about it, though, and manipulated two of Cesare's classmates into trying to assassinate him. When the pawns die in the attempt, he says he just has to be stricter next time. | |

The Confessor in Astro City is a religious-themed superhero, with a cross on his chest, a sidekick named "Altar Boy", and a church hideout. In his Backstory, he actually was a priest...before he was turned into a vampire. The cross on his chest is a "mortification of the flesh" deal, as well as causing him pain so he doesn't focus on the urge to drink blood. As for the badass part, see his Crowning Moment Of Awesome. Then there's his most prominent enemy, the also religiously themed Deacon. The Crossbreed is a team of Christian-themed superheroes. They believe their powers are a gift from God, and they spend their time between fighting evil and spreading the word on street corners. |

Gene Hackman's character in The Poseidon Adventure is a priest that is getting sent overseas for his unorthodox views. Unlike many of the others here, he isn't a gun-toting priest, but no less badass. He basically gives a sermon that tells people to "stop praying" because God loves those who try for their own salvation. This doesn't seem like much, but it's the exact mindset needed to survive a zombie apocalypse... or in this case, a sinking ship. | |

Arknights: Pope Yvangelista XI is the head of Laterano, and a very kind and compassionate old man. He's also implied to be physically strong enough to defeat his nation's top knights in a contest of strength, and doesn't hesitate to pull out a revolver to defend himself when he's threatened. Andoain, the leader of the Pathfinders and a former member of the Laterano Notarial Hall. An idealistic Sankta priest that seeks to help the downtrodden by forcing Laterano to open its borders, he is fought as the main boss in the event "Guide Ahead". Saint Federico Giallo - or as he is known in Rhodes Island, operator Executor - who is already plenty badass himself as one of the Notarial Hall's top executors prior to becoming the Saint. |

Dead Winter has Reverend Phillip Murphy, a man who debuted in the comic's intermission strips and can definitely leave a good impression. Sniping the head of a zombie from afar that was accosting a mother and their baby. While delivering a religious Badass Boast. He also becomes good friends with the local Husky Russkie. | |

Firefly: Shepherd Book, a quiet, unassuming preacher who either beats someone up or displays an alarming level of criminal knowledge roughly every other episode. The one time he does take up a weapon, he acknowledges that the Bible does say "Thou shalt not kill," but "it's a mite fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps." Much of his backstory is explained in the comic book. | |

The Pope from Brewdening Love, who is approached by Joan and Jenny in the "Vaticat" for help. At first he seems to be a kindly old Pope but then it's quickly revealed that he has a Popemobile that is like the Batmobile (it's explicitly described as such), can use his Popestick to brainwash, fight, and revive vampires, and pulls two near-literal Deus ex Machina to save the protagonists (one of them with Kung-Fu Jesus as if he were his sidekick). | |

Reverend Jim Maynard from Nocturne (1999) is one of the few people left alive in his little Texas town after a small-scale Zombie Apocalypse wiped out most of the population. Despite being an ordinary Preacher Man with no combat experience and losing the Spookhouse agent who'd come to help out, he greets the Stranger at the train station and protects the other survivors in his church armed with nothing but a shovel and a bottle of scotch. | |

Preceded by 100 years by Brutha, the last believer in his god, who becomes first an Archbishop, and soon after a Prophet and the Cenobiarch (the absolute leader of the church). He then reinvents the whole church, turning it from basically a militaristic and totalitarian society into a religious debating house, by being purely Badass Pacifist! | |

The Mountain and the Wolf: Once the Wolf officially invades Westeros, Red Priests arrive to help defend against him, being more knowledgeable about the ways of Chaos than the other characters. They're also quite useful in a fight, as their leader manages to take down a Chaos warrior in a single strike of his Flaming Sword while preaching vigorously enough to make a Warrior-Priest of Sigmar proud. | |

Father Ioann in The Big Sister and Little Sister. When he is captured by Ledinella, a formerly human ice creature who can also turn others to ice, he refuses to wed her to a prince she has frozen to death, strictly advises her to repent before it's late, and just walks away, the sheer strength of his faith and piety preventing her magic from harming him. When she tells her parents about the whole episode, it's the only time she actually shows hints of Heel Realization and remorse. | |

Babylon 5: Aldous Gajic in the episode "Grail". Using a staff and badassitude, he's able to take out gun-toting criminals. And he's played by David Warner. Delenn is a badass priestess although the religious caste really was a Church Militant. Though her occupation is more as a stateswoman then a cleric. Her personality, though, is fitting for a cleric. Brother Theo from Season 3. He is a wise, articulate speaking man who can truly practice what he preaches by forgiving the man who murdered one of his monks and even accepts him into the Order after he was Mind Wiped. He even is able to make Captain Sheridan forgive as well, despite his anger towards the man. He also sets up an underground information network to help the resistance after Earth is taken over by a dictator. And through it all, he remains a simple, humble man. |

Hellsing: Everyone in the Vatican Section XIII Iscariot division. Despite working for The Church, they are a minority within the church itself. Part of their Badass Creed even states "We are heretics and we are not heretics", because they are basically assassins who hunt down and slaughter the undead. Most of them were raised by Anderson himself and are capable of cutting bloody swaths through vampire and Nazi hordes. Their ranks include: Father Alexander Anderson will screw you up twelve ways to Sunday if you even look at him wrongnote At least, if you're a hellspawn or simply evil. Otherwise, Anderson's a Nice Guy to innocents, especially children. He regularly goes toe-to-toe with Eldritch Abomination Alucard, regenerates hacked off limbs, and easily dwarfs every other character (except Alucard) in terms of strength and determination. AAAAAMEEEEEEENNNNNN!! Anderson's top protégés are both Action Girls and Yumie Takagi is even a badass nun. They fight at their mentor's side, annihilate Nazi vampires with ease, and by the series' end, Heinkel even becomes a Lightning Bruiser regenerator like Anderson before her. |

Arthur of the Britons had Rolf the Preacher who was very much of the "turn the other cheek" school of badassery. His willingness to do so against the rage of Mark of Cornwall (played by BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!) earned him enough respect that Mark was willing to invite him in to his village to discuss his ideas. | |

The whole combined benefice (Church of England) in the Village Tales series is served by these. Father – now Canon – Noel Paddick, the Rector, All-Loving Hero that he is, is a boxer, and, being a Good Shepherd, is hell on wolves: even in a Bar Brawl. His youngest but longest-serving curate Fr Campion is a mass of hunky muscle who rowed for Keble, and will, to defend the innocent, row (in the other sense) with you. The next senior-most curate, Fr (Sir) Gilbert Bohun (Bt M.C.) came late to Orders … after being a Majorly Awesome officer in the Blues and Royals and winning the Military Cross, who will reform a drunken wife-beater by parade-ground shouting. Even the newest curate, a retired, middle-aged, fubsy Cambridge Fellow, the Revd Professor Harry Gasceyn Levett, is a Friar Tuck sort; as is their RC counterpart Mgr Folan. And, unexpectedly enough, even the mild, museli-munching Guardian-reading Bishop in Salisbury … is an ex-chaplain Royal Navy. | |
