Count Guratol

Count Guratol (グラトル) is the domain lord of the Town of Guratol and a supporter of the Freedom Academy.

Appearance
The Count is a man with long gray hair and gray thin mustache. He usually wears noble clothes with a green coat.

Personality
He remains extremely solemn and composed at all times. Even when tending to his ailing wife or walking with her after she was healed, he does not let his emotions show easily.

Story
The Count sits next to his bedridden wife. He had arranged she to get a medicine for her illness, but thieves had stolen the caravan carrying the medicine. He apologizes that he is still not able to capture the thieves.

A bit later, Gesdar brings him a letter from Freedom Academy reminding him that the students training is coming up. He asks Gesdar if there are any news on the thieves, but Gesdar declines. The Count then orders him to inspect the caves and arrange their lodging.

Class S arrives a day earlier than expected and as their rooms are not ready, he suggests they to check the caves. Later he learns of the events with the thieves and Phantom in the caves and that the medicine was used by them. Learning that Rimuru has such medicine, which is one of his potions, he begs Rimuru to give him one and Rimuru agrees on the condition he treats his wife. Rimuru operates on Ulamuth, removing the affected organ and then uses his potion to heal her. As Ulamuth makes full recovery, the Count is happy that his wife is alive and can walk again.
