Messengers

The Messengers (使者 Shisha) are the leadership of the Church of Messiah (メサイア教 Mesaia Kyō), a religious organization that exists in the Cardfight!! Vanguard i story. Led by Heavenly God Bishop, Seireia, the Church is devoted to the worship of Messiah. has followers worldwide on both Cray i and Earth i.

The Church of Messiah is initially portrayed as a benevolent organization, but the presence of clearly evil members in the Messengers calls the organization's morality into question. The Church of Messiah serve as allies in the first few seasons of ''Cardfight!! Vanguard i, but after the disappearance of Messiah in the beginning of Cardfight!! Vanguard iA, the Messengers begin acting overtly against Cray i, thus becoming the main antagonists of the first half of iA''. During the second half of iA, they summon Id Messiah to Cray i and become secondary antagonists as members of the demiurge's forces.
