Kagali

Kagali (カガリ) is a former Demon Lord and president of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, who had once been known as "Curse Lord" Kazalim (カザリーム). Seemingly killed by Leon Cromwell 200 years ago, Kagali managed to survive by escaping as just an Astral Body and now occupies a Homunculus.

She began serving under Yuuki Kagurazaka as a secretary while still influencing the world with the help of her subordinates from the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.

Appearance
Kazalim - A scarred male elf usually covered in a cloak and wearing a mask.

Kagali - A beautiful female elf with violet eyes and blonde hair, usually wearing formal attire.

Personality
Kagali during their time as one of the Demon Lords, was infamously known to be cruel and a power hungry individual. Having garnered a lot of infamy due to having utilized unique curse abilities to forcibly make several high class beings into servants in order to further consolidate power. They were also known to be highly destructive and ill tempered once set off, having antagonized Roy Valentin and causing mass destruction during the subsequent battle against.

Kagali was also known to be a highly cunning and intelligent Demon Lord, having initially gained reputation due to their uncanny ability to gather information and create complex ingenious schemes. They were known to control things behind the scenes rather than reveal their hand. This is seen during numerous schemes to recruit several Demon Lord potentials as allies by advocating their claims to join the Demon Lord Council in order to obtain further political power amongst peers.

However despite violent and manipulative tendencies, Kagali was also shown to have a lighter and more friendly side. Seen during their interactions with the members of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, who are all genuinely loyal to each other and view themselves as family.

Kagali is also shown to possess a very vengeful side to her personality, as seen where she was greatly angered by Clayman's death and swore to avenge him and she still felt immense anger and vengeful hatred for Leon Cromwell due to him having defeated and killed her original body.

Background
Centuries ago, Kagali was once the princess of the Ultra-Sorcery Kingdom of the Elves, who at the time, were one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the world. Kagali had to suffer a great deal of misfortune due to her father, the King, who disfigured her by his experiments, giving her a masculine-like body as well as a new name, Kazalim. Ashamed of her once beautiful face gone forever, Kagali began to wear a mask and hid her scarred body by wearing robes, and thus, had no choice but to call herself as Kazalim. However, Kagali's homeland would soon spell its own destruction by the arrogance and stupidity of its King, angering a young girl that would one day become a Demon Lord - Milim Nava, the daughter of the Star-King Dragon Veldanava. Resulting in the nation being completely obliterated and destroyed by her rage.

Kagali, was one of the few surviving elves to have live through the catastrophe and was stated to have witnessed Milim's wrath first hand. Causing the latter to hold a deep sense of fear for her and having a healthy level of respect for her might.

As one of the surviving elven royalty, Kagali would then attempt to rebuild their lost homeland. By using the knowledge and technology he preserved from the original fallen elven nation now known as the great ruin "Soma", Kagali managed to create recreate many of the lost technologies of their fallen homeland. Resulting in the creation of the capital city Amarita and establishment of the Puppet Nation Jistav.

Originally, Kagali was one of the Demon Lords that were active prior to the appearance of Demon Lords Carrion, Frey, and Clayman. Where they quickly built up a fearsome reputation as a cunning schemer and planner due to their uncanny ability to gather information.

After joining the Demon Lord Council, Kagali began actively searching for and recruiting beings of similar potential and power who had the capabilities to become Demon Lords to become subordinates. Kagali would also create such beings personally using magic, as seen where they created and engineered Clayman specifically to become a Demon Lord and also created Tear and Footman who were shown to have formidable combat prowess that could possibly make them a match against a Demon Lord. She created them using a variation of the original forbidden "Monster Death and Abyss" spell, whose original power was to unify the power of tens of thousands of corpses and then give it a form, or board the will of a particular being into the flesh. Laplace states that in order to never forget the humiliation of the past, she fell prey to the forbidden art.

During their time as one of the Demon Lords, Kagali was known to have battled against Roy Valentin, who was noted to have power equivalent to her own. Their battle was destructive enough that all the surrounding territories around them were destroyed, and resulted in the creation of the custom of the Demon Lords fights and arguments being decided via a majority vote. However, despite having fought him, it was shown that Kagali was oblivious to Demon Lord Valentin's true position as a servant for the actual Demon Lord Luminous Valentine holding his council seat.

Kagali, alongside Milim, would also advocate the claim of Carrion as a Demon Lord and would also back up Frey and Clayman's claims in order to allow them into the Council in order to obtain further political pull in amongst fellow Demon lords.

Eventually, during their time as a Demon Lord, Kagali would come across or hear about Leon Cromwell, who had declared himself a Demon Lord. As no one stepped up to support Leon's claim, he was deemed a Self-Proclaimed Demon Lord, causing Kagali to step to eliminate Leon for daring to call himself a Demon Lord, leading to the two to then fight each other. In actuality however, Kagali wanted to gain more power and decided to recruit Leon as they did with Carrion and Frey. However, upon reaching Leon's territory and seeing his beautiful face, Kagali was enraged and jealous (since they were reminded of their lost beauty) and attacked him.

Kagali lost the fight and and their body was destroyed, however Kagali had successfully survived their encounter and for over a hundred years wandered around as a disembodied spirit with their consciousness and mind slowly dissipating due to their lack of a body. It was only until 10 years prior to Rimuru's Reincarnation, did he successfully possess and share the body with an Otherworlder, Yuuki Kagurazaka and from there successfully acquired the current female elf Homunculus body. Grateful for Yuuki's help despite originally having tried to snatch Yuuki's body away, he began closely working with him to reach their shared goals and took on the identity of Kagali, Yuuki's secretary.
