Geld I

Geld (ゲルド) was an Orc Disaster that lead the Orc Army. Formerly an Orc Lord, he evolved after devouring Gelmud and became a Demon Lord seed. He was devoured by Rimuru during their battle at the Lizardman village.

Appearance
He was much larger compared to other orcs. Like all other orcs, has the head of a pig. Rimuru described him to be 'monstrous' and 'ugly', especially after he evolved into an Orc Disaster.

His yellow aura has the ability to take a more solid form, looking akin to some kind of slimy eyeless snakes, that has the properties of decomposing and eating at the intended target with 'Rot'.

Personality
Before becoming an Orc Lord, Geld was a rational and respectful leader of the Orcs who cared for his people well being.

After becoming the Orc Lord his mind deteriorated to the desire of devouring everything to lead and feed his Orc army.

Demon Lord
After becoming an Orc Disaster, a Demon Lord, he regained his sentience but still lost his moral. He still thought of his people's future.

Background
Geld was originally a nameless King of his fellow Orcs and an incredibly generous and altruistic ruler. So much, that when his clan suffered drought and famine, he couldn't bear to watch children starve and would cut off his own limbs in order to feed them. Since he had incredible regenerative capabilities, he didn't find it troubling to cause himself physical damage if it's to help his people. In fact, he would do it so frequently that his squire would often feel heartbroken and helpless at his self-sacrificial tendencies and would often tell him to stop, to no avail.

Later on, after he got to know about Veldora's disappearance, he set off to the Great Jura Forest in order to find food and a new home. During his long and arduous journey, he collapsed in a desert, where he met Gelmud, who provided him with food and a Name. Perhaps due to his immense hunger and guilt, combined with his new master Gelmud's sinister character, Geld's original ambition was warped and turned into something ugly. He obtained the Unique Skill Starving Ones and became an Orc Lord. Afterward, he who simply wished to get rid of/'devour' his fellowmen's suffering, now had the urge to just devour everything.

Chronology
He was the one who attacked the ogre village that Benimaru and the other ogres escaped from. He and his army then fought the Lizardman, Rimuru and his forces in the Marshlands. He betrays Gelmudo by devouring him and evolves into the Orc Disaster. In the climactic battle, he attempts to eat Rimuru but ends up getting eaten instead. After Rimuru learned the reason for his actions, Rimuru takes his sins and promises the Orcs' prosperity. Grateful, Geld was able to rest in peace saying his hunger is finally sated.

Abilities
His physical strength had surpassed Shion’s whose physical strength already enchanced by Herculean Strength.

After devouring Gelmud, the Orc Lord who was moving on instinct alone finally acquired self-awareness. Declaring himself a Demon Lord with strength beyond comparison of an Orc Lord. The Demon Lord Orc Disaster most formidable ability is his tremendous regeneration ability.
