Rigurd

Rigurd (リグルド) is the Prime Minister of the Jura Tempest Federation and Rimuru Tempest's very first named subordinate. He was originally the village chief of a Goblin Village.

Goblin
Rigurd was originally unsteady and wrinkled with the short stature of a goblin. His manner of speech was slow and stuttering and he always needed his walking stick to move around or even just stand straight. He had trouble keeping his eyes fully open most of the time.

Hobgoblin
After evolving into a hobgoblin upon being named, Rigurd's lifespan increased and he developed a robust muscular body. His height increased to that of a large adult human and he often flexes his muscles expressing just how much he loves and is grateful for this new younger-looking body. He no longer needs his walking stick can keep his eyes open with ease.

Personality
Rigurd is the classic "only seen when there's trouble" character which becomes a running gag in the story. As someone who already had one foot in his grave, he was probably the most grateful out of all the goblins to have received a name.

Even if all of Rimuru's subordinates are loyal to the point of throwing away their lives for him, Rigurd especially is one to rush to his immediate aide wherever he needs it. If it's to report about matters about the village, he would first consult his master no matter what.

Additionally, his younger son, Rigur, being given the name of his late elder son, Rigur, plus his village facing annihilation, his desperate plea for Rimuru to save them only added more factors to his deep loyalty towards Rimuru. Moreover, for all his proceeding actions, his loyalty only deepened more.

Plot
After Rimuru saved the village Rigurd was bestowed a name similar to his deceased son by Rimuru, an act that brought him to tears, shortly after, he evolved into a hobgoblin and was given the title Goblin Lord. He runs the day-to-day affairs of the village and only goes to Rimuru for important matters.

Abilities
Rigurd possesses B rank strength. Being the Goblin King, he is one of the strongest warriors among the goblins.

He's been talking to merchants and adventurers learning about the human culture.
