Geld

"I thought I had some strength, but I suppose there’s always someone better than you."

- Geld

Geld (ゲルド) is one of the fourth group of subordinates to be named by Rimuru Tempest. As the right-hand man (and son) of the deceased Orc Lord, he was given the same name as him, as a memento and token of appreciation, similar to how Rigur was named after his older brother.

Appearance
Geld is a large orc that usually wears loose pants, a large black cloak, and a necklace that is decorated with what resembles three teeth. His most notable trait, unlike most of his Orc brethren, is a mohawk-like hairstyle.

Personality
Geld is among the most serious and hardworking of Rimuru's subordinates. He felt responsible for the Orc Lord Incident, to the point that he begged Benimaru to kill him and spare the rest of all orc so  that they could alleviate their hatred,  and works hard in order to pay for his and the orcs' sins.

Because the orcs once almost went extinct due to starvation, Geld tries to make sure that none of Tempest's residents ever went hungry.

In battle he is relentless in taking down his opponent as shown in his battle with Shogo Taguchi.

Geld is also kind and loving towards children, being quite popular with them. He is often seen playing with them and carrying at least one child with him, showing a very paternal side about himself.

Background
Geld was the right-hand man and son of the deceased Orc Lord. During the orc invasion of Jura Forest, he served as an Orc General. As the last surviving Orc General after the invasion ends, he acted as the representative of orcs during the post-war meeting.

Trivia

 * His name may be a shout-out to the Gerudo people from The Legend of Zelda video game series. One of them, Ganondorf, often appears in his pig-headed demon form Ganon.
 * Gelmud (ゲルミュッド) derived the name "Geld" (ゲルド) from his own name, by taking out a single syllable.
