Fuze

Appearance
A short middle-aged man with short black hair and white on the side. He has sharp eyes, thin stubble beard and a long scar on his left side that covered one of his eyes making his face look vigilant. He fits the description for a Guildmaster.

Personality
He is a rather gutsy individual. He can be very tough on his underlings, but even so, he cares for their safety.

Fuze is very skeptical of information. He didn't believe that the Dwarf King could acknowledge a city of monsters as a proper nation, at least not until he went to see it for himself.

Background
Fuze's father once worked together with the Conqueror of Flames. He was an Adventurer who made a name for himself and after retiring, became the Guildmaster of Free Guild's Blumund branch.

He was asked by his childhood friend, Velyard to investigate the Jura Forest regarding the disappearance of Veldora, the task that was later given to Kaval's Party.

Abilities
His former ability as Adventurer was upper-rank A-. He was a remarkable Adventurer. Fuze can perform analytical magic.

He is good at manipulating information. The accuracy of the information he gathers rivals that of the Dwargon's Dark Ministry lead by Anrietta who also specialize in information gathering.

Trivia

 * He has several pieces of information that could bring an end to Blumund.
 * Upon meeting Rimuru for the first time, he has become more lax on his viewpoints of Monsters, and views Tempest as a great vacation spot.
 * As Rimuru has done things more and more ludicrous things in normal people's eyes, it causes great strain on Fuze's psyche, often causing him to pass out upon learning new information or having a mental break down when Rimuru personally invited Fuze to the Demon Lord announcement Festival. For his part, Rimuru seems to enjoy tormenting Fuze with situations like this; causing Fuze's hair to become more and more grey over the course of the series. Despite this; Fuze views Rimuru as a person extremely favorably and friendly.
 * Excluding Veldora, Fuze is the Fourth Outsider to find out that Rimuru is a Reincarnated Otherworlder.
 * Since his connection with Tempest, his network of information has increased, causing his renown as Intelligence Gatherer to skyrocket resulted in him being given a seat in Blumund's Intelligence Department.
 * Like many other national leaders outside of Tempest, he views the Monster City as a paradox, and personally coined the Moniker for Tempest as the "City of Festivals", since he has been present to nearly all of them post Awakening Demon Lord. He finds the "normal" way they cook monsters as food very surreal and unsettling, but other then that enjoys the rich, celebratory atmosphere.
