Abiru ｢アビル, abiru｣ is a Dragonewt and the chieftain of the Lizardman Tribe. He's the father of both Gabiru and Souka.
Appearance[]
Abiru, who was originally quite elderly in appearance, regained his youth after evolving into a Dragonewt. He has long black hair, green eyes, and a metal helmet encrusted with a large blue jewel. As a lizardman he had green scales, but they turned purple after he evolved into a Dragonewt.
As a Dragonewt; Abiru has scales, horns, wings, and a tail. He is capable of using the Dragon Scales Skill to freely hide these features at his disclosure, even being capable of assuming a fully human form.
Human Form[]
After receiving Rimuru's Gift he's now able to assume human form.[1]
Personality[]
Abiru, even as a young man, always had a bold and serious personality; something that only complimented the carefulness and wisdom he gained in his later years, making him revered as a hero-like figure among his people. As a leader, he knows to act as symbol of strength and perseverance, making sure to properly hide his emotions and say only the words his people need to hear.
Abiru's intelligence is considered genius level, able to gauge the entire situation of a war from just a glance and prepare a counter strategy in an instant. His intellect is so fierce that he's able to remain several steps ahead of other commanders. Even Gabiru, a genius and expert tactician in his own right, admitted complete inferiority in front of his father's strategies.
In his personal life, Abiru is quite stubborn and withdrawn, something that can sometimes drive a wedge between him and his children, particularly Gabiru, whom Abiru had a hard time conveying his deep love for.
Background[]
Abiru, originally a nameless lizardman, was a man born with many talents. His genius-level intellect and unusual strength in combat resulted in him being branded as a Unique Monster, and allowed him to become a hero-like existence among his people. His leadership skills and charisma were enough to instill a fierce loyalty into each and every lizardman, something that he works tirelessly to maintain.
Abiru, at some point, had two children. A boy and a girl. The boy showed promise as his successor, having a sharp mind and excellent sense for battle that charmed the younger generation; while the girl had a calm and analytical personality that made her well suited for dealing with internal affairs. He assigned the two the roles of Warrior Captain and Guard Captain respectively.
After the events of A Disturbance in the Forest, he received his name from Rimuru Tempest and joined the Jura-Tempest Federation. He sent his two children to the capital, hoping for them to gain experience and achievements as Rimuru's subordinates while he would use his regained youth to maintain his rule over the lizardmen for years to come.
