Rommel

"But... There was something strangely convincing about him. Right from that moment, I realized on instinct that he was a man who deeply cared about his people."

- Rommel sharing his feelings about Youm to Rimuru

Rommel (ロンメル) is a Sorcerer who trained under Nidol Migam but eventually became Youm's trusty assistant after being seduced by his charms.

Appearance
Rommel is a young man that could still be called a boy. He has medium length dark brown hair tied into a ponytail and blue eyes. His usual attire consists of wizardly robes and a pair of thick glasses. He can be seen frequently using a magical staff, especially in combat.

Personality
Rommel is a timid and shy person who isn't very good around people, but is reliable when push comes to shove. He was easily seduced by the dominance and charisma of Youm, to the point of pledging his eternal loyalty to him. Additionally, his portrayal in The Slime Diaries depicts him as having a somewhat mischievous and possessive side to him.

Background
Rommel was born in the nation of Falmuth where he attended a Magic Academy and became a sorcerer. He came to be under the apprenticeship of Earl Nidol Migam and was eventually assigned to oversee the Frontier Expedition Force, where he was eventually seduced by it's captain, Youm, and pledged his loyalty to him instead. He continued to remain in Youm's party after he became known as a Champion as an advisor or secretary of sorts, a role he continues to play even after Youm becomes the king of Farmenas.
