Damrada

Damrada (ダムラダ) of Wealth was one of the three governing officials of Cerberus, the most powerful underground organization in the east. He was also the vice commander of Rudra's Imperial Guardians and the second strongest warrior in the Eastern Empire after Tatsuya Kondou.

Appearance
Damrada had the appearance of a middle-aged man with grey hair and a goatee. His long grey hair was tied into a single low ponytail draped down his back. Befitting his title as "Wealth", he usually wore expensive clothes like a black eastern-style suit with gold embroideries that depicted 3 tiger heads.

Personality
Insightful - He saw a certain charisma within both Yuuki and Rimuru which he was very drawn to and found to be a great source of strength for them.

As Cerberus' 'Wealth', Damrada appeared to care only for money. He would not hesitate to turn a profit, and was fine with fraud and betrayal as a means to that end. He believed those he deceived were fault, and had no remorse for them. Hence the reason he was always said to bring back dead man's loot.

He had great intuition, knowing when to cut his losses and retreat from an unfavorable situation.

Background
Damrada was the former prime minister of the Nasca Kingdom and a close friend of Emperor Rudra. He was originally the head of the Imperial Guardians before Kondou took over his position. He was also hailed as a hero in the east as the Fist Saint and once had a bitter rivalry with Moss.

As part of his promise to Rudra, he roamed the land looking for a suitable candidate to kill the emperor who worried the day of Michael fully taking over him would arrive. Through that journey he came across a youth with a unique bodily composition that nullified the effect of skills and magic. That boy was Yuuki Kagurazaka, an aspiring youth who held fancy ambitions of ruling the world. Damrada was attracted to his charisma and chose to wholeheartedly follow him, becoming a close friend and partner-in-crime. Yuuki pursuing his dream would mean eventually aiming for the emperor's life which was in line with Damrada's wish. Through their partnership, the two have made great strides such as crushing the underground organization Echidna which held great influence in the east and reforming it into Cerberus, with Damrada taking a spot as one of its leaders. At some point he introduced Yuuki to Misha, a skilled femme fatale he has been acquainted with for a longer period of time. He also took in Vega who was fated to be executed by Ingrassia's authorities and arranged an education for him and shaped him to be one of Cerberus' leaders.

One day Damrada came across Masayuki, an up-and-coming hero who caught his attention, most likely because of the rumors of him being the Hero of Beginning reborn, and found that he had a very keen resemblance to Emperor Rudra. He ended up assigning two of the Single Digits, Bernie and Jiu, to guard him.

Damrada under his disguise as a lowly eastern merchant nestled up to Hinata Sakaguchi, captain of the Crusaders, and fed her malicious information to get her to attack the Rimuru. He also offered Tempest's silk products to the King of Falmuth, inciting him to set his eyes on the nation of monsters. While Walpurgis was convened, he attempted to call Hinata away from the defense of Ruberios' inner sanctum and failed to do so, losing the trust of the holy knight.

Saint-Monster Confrontation Arc
He worked with Yuuki and the Rosso family, and supported King Edward's faction during Falmuth's civil war. He provided them with demon slayers from the Eastern Empire, but decided to retreat once he heard about Diablo.

Dragon-Monster Clash/Abyss Unleashed Arc
Damrada participated in Yuuki's initial preparations for rebelling against Emperor Rudra; he killed Gadra as a measure to keep him from falling to Kondou's hands and extracting his information, knowing full well he had a resurrection bracelet on him. Damrada's true position in the empire and his connection with Rudra was disclosed, being the vice commander of the Imperial Guardians. It was also revealed that he assigned both Jiu and Bernie to guard Masayuki. In the end, Damrada's plans were made known to Kondou and he was placed under his control. Yuuki freed him shortly after, but was subsequently defeated by Rudra and made his pawn. Damrada gave up resistance and followed Rudra again.

In the battle against Rimuru's forces, Damrada faced off against Ultima and was defeated in a fierce showdown. In his final moments, he regrets how he wasn't able to fulfill his promise to Rudra, but at the same time felt relief that he could entrust it to Rimuru. Damrada began to ponder why Rudra took control of Yuuki when it was him that ordered Damrada to kill him. He deduced that his friend's mind had long been taken over by the ultimate skill Michael and was sad at this realization. Damrada formed a contract with Ultima to kill Rudra and protect Masayuki, offering his all as compensation, and passed away.
