A dedicated cosplayer mocked fundamentalist Christian protesters in the US for the third year running this weekend.

Jacob Kevinsson, a professional cosplayer, joined the protest while in character as a priest from popular role-playing game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The protesters were gathered outside of Dragonscon, a gaming and pop culture festival that took place in Atlanta, Georgia.

It is unclear what exactly about Dragonscon incited the protests, but they have been a regular occurrence at the event.

The religious group were carrying signs saying, "God knows your secret sins," and, "God commands all men everywhere to repent."

Mr Kevinsson carried a colourful sign into the protest reading, "Talos Hates Elves," a tongue-in-cheek reference to a radical church that exists in the game world. 

The cosplayer also performed pseudo-religious speeches as his game character, denouncing "elves" and "imperials" instead of "sinners".  

This is now the third year the cosplayer has crashed the protest, with video emerging showing him at the protests in 2015.
