Gazel Dwargo

Gazel Dwargo (ガゼル・ドワルゴ) is the third generation king of the Armed Nation of Dwargon but possesses a similar aura to that of his grandfather in his younger days. He is renowned as a great Champion and celebrated as a wise king for his impartial rule.

He has a very dwarf-like, tough-looking body, with the height of a human covered in an armor of muscle that hides surging energy beneath. His skin is tanned brown as characteristic of his race, and his jet black hair is slicked back all the way.

Personality
Gazel is a free-willed individual with a surprisingly open personality, is stubborn, calculating and possesses a lot of charisma. He follows the philosophy of "peace through strength" to a great extent. He is extremely perceptive and values truth and honor at his core. He takes an interest in Rimuru during his visit, being overly cautious and knowing that Rimuru was ridiculously strong for a mere slime.

Background
When he was young, he wandered through the forest of Jura and learned sword techniques from the Sword Ogre. Gazel ruled for three hundred years and had many achievements to his name, being even treated as a hero. His strength is at the same level of Hinata Sakaguchi and is comparable to a Demon Lord.
