Since B made edits concerning the two Holy Sword wielders, I'll give their profiles as described by the Gremory group.

Spoiler #6: "*Cardinal Priest Vasco Strada
 * He's the previous wielder of Durandal and the person closest to Roland, the original wielder.
 * He's a well-built 2-meter 87-year old man.
 * He's the person who advocated the development of exorcists and he's also a teacher for them.
 * He fought Kokabiel in the Second World War and managed to corner him.
 * He was offered by Uriel and Raphael to be part of their Brave Saints but he refused and his reason was he wants to die as a human.
 * Asia met him once when she was still regarded as a holy maiden and according to her, he's very friendly and a gentleman.


 * Cardinal Deacon Ewald Cristaldi
 * Irina and Xenovia are hesitant to fight him since he's their teacher.
 * According to Irina, everytime she visits Vatican, he teaches him how to use the Excalibur as he himself was known to wield three of them; an exception among others noted by Azazel.
 * He, along with Strada, are considered as monsters.

Because of their rank in the Church (3rd and 4th) and their former status as exorcists, it was easy to gather people to join the coup d'etat."
