Gard Mjöllmile

Gard Mjöllmile (ガルド・ミョルマイル) is the head of the Jura Tempest Federation's Finances and Public Relations Department. He was the owner of a popular store in the Kingdom of Blumund before he moved into Tempest's Capital City Rimuru.

Personality
Mjöllmile is able to make people feel at ease with his experience and talent as a merchant and he can tell a person's personality with a single glance.

While he may seem vulgar at times and does not bat an eye at mildly illicit deals (as the head of a powerful economic corporation himself), he does know where to draw the line, and is loyal to those he believes are worth trusting. He is also a daredevil who strongly believes in his own luck.

He follows the motto of "Merchants first and foremost consider both parties' profit" in his economic ventures.

Background
Mjöllmile joined the Free Guild and is also a formal Blumund merchant with the country's permission. It's considered rare for an individual to have the license of both the country and the Free Guild at the same time.

Story
Rimuru invited Mjöllmile, who at the time ran a shop in Blumund, to join Tempest. However, letting go of this shop might prove disadvantageous in the future, so Mjöllmile decided to have a few people stay back to run the shop in case Blumund were to flourish.

He let the head clerk take over the store while Mjöllmile travelled to Tempest in order to do business there. Five individuals that Mjöllmile saw great potential in chose to follow him to Tempest. This surprised him since he never expected them to be willing to abandon their livelihood to follow him to a new kingdom.

Abilities
In his old store, he lent out money at the highest interest rate, and many potential customers visited him daily. But he didn't meet these people personally; rather, he left it to his store attendants. As a licensed merchant, he knows many ways of making a profit. He's famous enough that even some nobles come to him to do deals.

Seeing a chance to make himself useful to Rimuru, he accepted the offer immediately as he left his store to be run by the assistant manager.
