Gazel Dwargo

Gazel Dwargo (ガゼル・ドワルゴ) is the third generation king of the Armed Nation of Dwargon but possesses a similar aura to that of his grandfather in his younger days. He is renowned as a great Champion and celebrated as a wise king for his impartial rule.

Appearance
He has a very dwarf-like, tough-looking body, with the height of a human covered in an armor of muscle that hides surging energy beneath. His skin is tanned brown as characteristic of his race, and his jet black hair is slicked back all the way.

Personality
Gazel is a free-willed individual with a surprisingly open personality, is stubborn, calculating and possesses a lot of charisma. He follows the philosophy of "peace through strength" to a great extent.

Background
When he was young, he wandered through the forest of Jura and learned sword techniques from the Sword Ogre. Gazel ruled for three hundred years and had many achievements to his name, being even treated as a hero. His strength is at the same level of Hinata Sakaguchi and is comparable to a Demon Lord.

Unique Skill

 * Tyrant: Not much is known about Tyrant's finer details but it at least grants the ability to read someone's mind.

Extra Skill

 * Champion's Haki: Able to immobilize an enemy or even make weak-willed targets submit to the user.

Arts

 * Haze of Rumbling Heavens: A Sword Technique that conceals the user's presence to the point of not even being detectable by Magic Sense, attacking the enemy from behind with a bottom-to-top slash, followed by a top-to-bottom slash.

Other Abilities

 * Full Spirit Fusion: By perfectly fusing with an Elemental Spirit King, the user can temporarily reach the energy-levels of an Awakened Demon Lord.

Vesta
Gazel chose Vesta over Kaijin. Even at the time of the artificial magic soldier incident, he waited for Vesta to confess the truth to him, but decided to dismiss him from his post as a minister after Vesta's action forced Gazel to exile Rimuru and Kaijin's group. Later he sent Vesta to Tempest, hoping that Tempest would give him a better environment to work with that does not corrupt him again like it did before. Vesta had become Gazel's contact-person in Tempest for whenever there was something he had to discuss with Rimuru.

Hakurou
Hakurou was Gazel's teacher in sword techniques and Gazel respects his master's proficiency with the sword very much and is grateful to him for having trained Gazel in his youth.

Rimuru Tempest
Even though he at first exiled Rimuru's group from Dwargon for political reasons, they later shared a pretty close relationship. Gazel considers Rimuru as his junior under the same teacher and likes to play the role of a "senior brother" towards Rimuru both as a swordsman student and as ruler of a nation. He was one of the first to notice Rimuru's potential and helped Tempest to grow to its power. Even when Rimuru became a demon lord Gazel continued to trust and have faith in him.

Kaijin
Having had to send Kaijin into exile after the conflict between Vesta and Kaijin escalated, he felt sad about having to let Kaijin go, but respected his wish to leave with Rimuru.
