Gazel Dwargo/Relationships

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. He reprimands his council time and time again knowing full well that though Rimuru did become a Demon Lord, he must have a good reason, and upon finding out chuckled at the revelation. Despite trusting Rimuru, when it comes to politics, Gazel tends to be hyper critical of Rimuru's laidback, and friendly demeanor.

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.
