Yamza

Yamza (ヤムザ) is powerful Majin with impressive swordsmanship skills. He was Clayman's Army Commander-In-Chief and the Middle Finger of Clayman's Five Fingers. Greatly known by a title of a Magic Swordsman of Ice due to high usage of Unique-graded Ice Blade that was given to him by Clayman.

Background
Yamza is ambitious Majin that was recruited by Clayman due to his great amount of motivation and willingness to serve him. Yamza was the only Finger truly loyal to Clayman. Unlike all of the other members of Clayman's Five Fingers, Yamza was the only one who willingly chose to join Clayman as his subordinate, therefore he did not have his heart stolen and held hostage by him to insure his cooperation. Due to this, Clayman gave Yamza more favor as a subordinate and trusted and treated him a little better in comparison to the other fingers.

Yamza by nature is not a rude and brutal person, but in the pursuit to be one of the most valuable person in the ranks of Clayman he imitated his iconic vociferous character by his master's persona. His aggressive and dangerous side often makes it difficult to view information objectively and rationally, for example in situation where he bought without Clayman's permission 150,000 sets of normal quality armor from the Eastern Empire. Just like his master, Yamza is not restrained and heavily implied to utilize dirty tricks and amoral tactics, from gossiping to cheating on the duel.

As time goes by Yamza's character only got worse. His ambitions have greatly decreased and fate in his master faded away, becoming a "сrooked mirror" of a past self. Not only to mention, with receiving of his favorite Ice Blade he abandoned to train and improve personal swordsmanship skills in a favor of using sword's magic abilities.

Later in life he was described by Mjurran Yamza as an abominable but competent lowlife, that liked to provoke others into giving him reasons to be even more cruel to them, but was sensible enough to notice when it's not working.

Clayman's desire to add Yamza to his forces was not without merit. Yamza was quite skilled at assessing threats without prior knowledge, such as when he recognized Gobta as the leader of the Goblin Riders and sought to immediately kill him to remove the threat of an unknown element.

However, after he lost a fade and spark in Clayman, it's been shown that Yamza himself now holds little hesitation to abandon Clayman should things start going bad for him. This is seen when he planned to abandon Clayman's army when they were being overwhelmed by the combined attack of Tempest and Eurazania. He made plans to escape on his own and seek shelter by working for another demon lord in order to protect himself from Clayman for his betrayal.

The Octagram Soars Brightly Arc
Receiving Clayman's orders to wipe out any survivors of Eurazania after Demon Lord Milim Nava destroyed its capital, Yamza used the Forgotten Dragon Capital as a supply base, much to the Dragon Worshippers' chagrin. Trying to recruit them as logistical support, Yamza attempted to provoke them, but the Head Priest Middray remained calm. Only when the younger priest Hermes became enraged, could he push them into the supporter role.

During the battle against the Tempest-Eurazania Allied Forces lead by Benimaru, Yamza ended up facing off against the leader of the Three Beastketeers, Albis. When he was about to lose and surrender to save himself, Clayman remotely caused Yamza to swallow a Charybdis Fragment that caused a temporary Charybdis to be born, which then was killed by Benimaru. Yamza ended up dying in the process.

Trivia

 * His position as the Middle Finger was quite appropriate. Said finger is used to "flip the bird" as a rude gesture; Yamza himself is rude.
 * In Clayman's Revenge - spin-off manga of main series, we can observe Yamza's true and caring nature in comparison with his dangerous and aggressive role, that he tries to imitate in order to show Clayman his capabilities and powers. Clayman sees Yamza's motivation and potential, but unlike in his previous lives, Clayman is not gonna let him get loose and replicate his bad qualities and traits referencing himself in his young years, when at this time Clayman's master - "Curse Lord" Kazalim warned to not imitate his bad qualities
 * Yamza resembles a reflection of Clayman's character growth or degradation as we seen in original timeline where Clayman was under Tatsuya's Kondou brainwashing - Yamza was arrogant scumbag, while in Clayman's Revenge where Clayman tries to avoid his mistakes and constantly improves and cares about his subordinates, Yamza also has begun to train and improve his swordsmanship skills and personality growth can be also seen.
