Pietro Yogdis

Pietro Yogdis (ペテロ＝ヨグディス) is a minor character introduced in the Toaru Majutsu no Index series. His rank is that of a Cardinal, and he craves for the position of Pope, which he obtains at the end of World War III, though of a weakened Roman Catholic Church.

Personality
Unlike his predecessor Matthai Reese Pietro seems to be more for the power of the pope, and doesn't seem to be very caring of other people. While he is similar to Nikolai Tolstoy in that perspective but, unlike him he neither worked with Fiamma or cooperated with him in any way though that did not stop him from taking advantage of the situation.

Chronology
He is first starring out a window in aw after sensing Archangel Gabriel's power all the while only thinking about the magic sides victory over Academy City and the conclave elections would start soon. While unconcerned about the riots happening all over Italy in protest to their support of the war as when he would be elected he would put an end to them with force not even conserened about casualties. Then a priest rushed up and told him the conclave would be postponed to strengthen the defenses of the site. Petero became annoyed at the delay and ordered that they forcefully dispersed the crowd. The priest then refused and explained to a confused Yogdis that the pope had returned and has dispersed them with a few words. As all the Roman Catholic Church's forces stood in awe at Matthai Reese's return making his way through the basilica, while Petero's expression was that of a child about to burst into tears as he vainly tried ordering the forces all around to kill the pope. Matthai Reese unconcerned with the threats that he had no intention of stopping the papal conclave, and only sought the great Vatican library to use in stopping Fiamma’s Star of Bethlehem. As the pope stepped closer to him Petero was sure he would be killed but, instead he complemented him on handling the situation in his absence while calling himself an incompetent leader. Reese departs giving Pietro Yogdis his blessing to succeed him, while Pietro justs breaks down crying at this display.

It is later shown on that he did become pope after the war ended.
