Gabiru

"Dragon Lord" Gabiru「 ガビル,  Gabiru」is one of the fifth group of subordinates to be named by Rimuru Tempest. After the death of his former master Gelmud, his 'named' status became fundamentally non-existent, thus allowing Rimuru to somehow name Gabiru as 'Gabiru' again, evolving him into a Dragonewt.

He is the captain of the Hiryuu of Tempest, the country's primary aerial attack force, as well as one of the strongest subordinates of Rimuru, having the Title of a "Lord" as one of his Twelve Patrons.

"Is it so unexpected!? Does the fact that I’m not dead irk you so much? There is a reason I can’t die, so please forgive me, Miss!"

- Gabiru

Lizardman
Gabiru has the appearance of a green anthropomorphic Lizard with two horns. In all adaptations, he wears a wear armor that consists of a cape, baggy pants, and furry neck warmer.

Pre Demon Lord
Gabiru gains more dragon-like characteristics like wings (that are retractable), sharper horns, and harder skin.

In the anime, the color of his skin changes to purple.

Personality
Gabiru first appears to be a young and overconfident lizardman who is proud to be the first-named warrior in his tribe as he expresses annoyance at his father for not addressing him with it.

Despite this, however, Gabiru holds his father in high regard and sees him as a proud and noble chieftain of the lizardmen and actually inherited quite a few qualities from him. Like Abiru, he is brave, loyal to his followers and kinsmen, as well as a natural leader gaining loyal subordinates who hold him in higher regard than Abiru himself.

Despite his natural talents, however, his ego is swelled and easily manipulated, as both the honest praise from his subordinates as well as Laplace's manipulations, he was led to believe that he had no choice but to take over the tribe from his aging father in order to save the lizardmen.

After the battle with the Orc Lord and putting his people in jeopardy, Gabiru was humbled and took the full blame for his treason and was willing to accept execution with grace, only pleading to spare his men.

Background
Gabiru was used by Gelmud, his most trusted person, to satisfy his own gains to turn the Orc Lord into a demon lord.

Gabiru was exiled for his treason. Furthermore, forbidden to ever call himself a lizardman and forbidden to ever return.
