Fidelacchius (meaning Faith) is a holy artifact, one of three swords, used by the Knights of the Cross to battle against the corrupted, and help save the innocent. Each sword is forged as a different style of sword. Fidelacchius is forged as a katana.

Each of the Knights' swords is forged from a nail that was used in Christ's crucifixion. Fidelacchius was previously wielded by a member of the Celestial Chorus named Shiro, who died in a Nephandi Caul. Fidelacchius was passed down to Tony Morgan, who wielded it for a time. After it was recovered from the Nephandi by War and Wisdom, it now rests in Hope and Faith in Chicago, waiting for a new Knight to wield it.

Fidelacchius demonstrated an immunity to all magic being used on it. In addition, it had the ability to conceal itself from anyone or anything that the Knight did not wish to see it. Fidelacchius and the Knight of the Cross where known together as the "Fist of God."

Fidelacchius, as well as the other two swords, have a vulnerability if they are used on the innocent. Fidelacchius is believed to lose some of its power if it should be used to spill the blood of innocence. It is also believed that these holy artifacts can be corrupted and turned into swords of darkness by the Nephandi.

Fidelacchius is based on the sword of the same name from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.
