Erald Grimwald

Erald Grimwald (エラルド・グリムワルト) is an Archduke of Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion. He is the empress' uncle, and the father of Ellen.

Appearance
A gentleman with an expensive-looking gown and slit eyes. His eyes widen when his emotions are intense. He frequently travels abroad in a domestic made homunculus, one of the technological fruits of Sarion's research.

Abilities
Erald is a very skilled Wizard, able to cast self-sustaining magic and making it appear stronger than it is.

Relationships
Ellen: Erald is Ellen's fathes and he loves her very deeply to the point where both his daughter and people that know him call him a very overly protective father.

Elmesia: Erald is Elmesia's uncle.

Rimuru Tempest: At first, Erald acted on false assumptions and accused Rimuru of deceiving his daughter after he learned of her association with a demon lord. The misunderstanding was quickly resolved when an annoyed Ellen bashed his head. Feeling responsible for his daughter having a part in Rimuru's demon lord ascension, he established friendly relations with the slime, and cooperated in spreading a cover story behind the disappearance of Falmuth army by setting up Veldora as the perpetrator, to rid Sarion's involvement from the public.

Gazel Dwargo: Although the two banter a lot, they share an unspoken affinity with each other as victims to Elmesia's whims.
