"It's a shame it has no gender"

- Benimaru, on Rimuru's transformation

Benimaru (, lit. "Scarlet boy") is a Flame Spirit Oni (炎霊鬼) and a loyal follower of Rimuru Tempest, the King of Tempest. He is the Commander-in-Chief of Tempest.

Appearance
Benimaru has hair burning like a crimson flame. Two jet-blackhorns protrude from below the hair. Glowing more brilliantly than obsidian. Although he used to be big and bulky, his height decreased to 180 cm, and his body tightened.

Benimaru received a kimono that turned blood red to match his aura.

Personality
Benimaru has a carefree personality. His personality is that of an excited and confident man. Although his personality is easily excited, he is actually really cautious and cunning.

Benimaru felt hesitant when faced with the need to take over the Ogre tribe village chief. Thus, he is content with his current position with Rimuru as the Lord he serves. As one of the military commander, he merely wishes to rampage to his heart’s content. Had he become chief, he could not ride off to battle thus. But now was different. He can participate without any concern.

Background
As the young master of the ogre village, Benimaru would have taken up the weight and responsibility of a leader had ten thousand Orcs not invaded his town and slaughtered all but six ogres. Escaping the disaster, he runs into Rimuru. With the turn of fate, he pledges his loyalty to Rimuru after witnessing his lord’s benevolence and promise of retribution.

Abilities
Before being named, Benimaru had the abilities of a B+, with intelligence. After evolving they surpassed A rank.

Benimaru knew nothing except numbers of soldiers when it comes to the art of war. So his appointment was in name only. Later, Benimaru abandoned prideful thoughts. He seriously considers abilities and can accurately judge fighting strength. He has evidently grown as a general.
