Joel Goldschmidt VI

Joel Goldschmidt VI (Joel Goldschmidt the Sixth) is the current head of the Red Shield and a descendant of the original Joel who found Saya and Diva.

 Every man in his family who bears the name Joel must live and fight against the chiropterans throughout their life until they are no longer a threat. His "diary" contains a record of all of the Red Shield's activities since its formation as well as all known information on Saya, Diva, the chevaliers and the chiropterans. Joel became the head of the Red Shield in 2002, Joel primarily works in the background, trusting his operatives to handle the day-to-day work while he supports them. When Diva and Karl attack the Red Shield headquarters, Joel is badly wounded and left paralyzed from the waist down.  After David recovers emotionally from the destruction of the headquarters, Joel reforms the Red Shield to continue to support Saya and stop Diva.
