Gazel Dwargo

The king of the Dwargon nation and a master swordsman known as a Sword Saint. Despite being a dwarf, he has an unusually tall stature of 170 cm and a robust build like armor. He has a free-spirited nature resembling his grandfather, the first king, but having seen the hardships his father faced, he usually plays the role of a strict king.

After meeting Rimuru directly in Volume 3, he was the first to establish diplomatic relations with the Jura Tempest Federation, approving technological exchanges and the construction of roads. Due to his past experience learning the Oboro-style sword techniques under Hakurou as his mentor, he often calls Rimuru his "junior disciple" and provides conveniences, acting as a personal advisor to Rimuru, offering counsel and reprimanding Rimuru's reckless actions.

In Volume 6, during the Human-Monster Conference, he contributes a strategy that attributes the annihilation of the Farmus Kingdom's army to Veldora's revival, thus setting the direction for the establishment of a new kingdom by Youm. In Volume 8, his subordinates express concerns over Rimuru's rapid growth, but he decides to continue supporting Rimuru, trusting him. In Volume 15, he faces Kondo from the Empire, who is also a practitioner of the Oboro style, in a duel, but ultimately loses when Kondo abandons his attachment to winning through swordsmanship. After the battle, he seeks to retrain himself and starts training with Agela, who is dispatched to Dwargon.
