Old-Man Rom has a massive, over-two-meter-tall body typical of the Giant race.

He stands at about 220 cm, with a heavily muscled, rugged frame that gives him an intimidating presence.

His great size and powerful build make him stand out even among the rough crowd of the slums.

At a glance, he looks like a violent thug, but his expression and eyes often soften when dealing with those he cares about.

Despite his criminal line of work, Old-Man Rom has a fundamentally caring and warm personality.

He is the kind of person who looks after others too much, taking on more trouble than is good for him.

He behaves like a gruff old man, quick to shout and complain, yet his actions reveal a rational, level-headed nature.

He is a common-sense thinker and rarely lets emotions completely override his judgment.

Although his outward appearance projects a strong sense of violence and intimidation, he is not reckless or cruel.

He tends to protect and guide those around him, especially the vulnerable, showing a soft spot beneath his rough exterior.

Old-Man Rom is one of the key figures who oversee the so‑called “stolen-goods storehouse” in the royal capital’s slums.

This place functions as a hidden black market where stolen items and other illicit goods are handled and traded.

He serves as a broker and manager, controlling the flow of goods and enforcing his own form of order in the area.

While his work clearly lies outside the law, he provides a kind of stability and support network for people who have nowhere else to go.

His eye for goods is highly trusted among thieves and clients alike.

He can accurately judge the value and authenticity of items brought into the warehouse, making his word a reliable standard in illegal trade.

Old-Man Rom is a survivor of the Giant race, a people whose numbers were greatly reduced by a past civil war.

After the conflict ended, instead of living a normal, lawful life, he drifted into the slums and began making a living by fencing stolen goods.

The combination of his physical strength, experience, and practical wisdom made him a natural authority figure in the area.

Over time, he became one of the faces of the slums, known not just as a criminal broker, but as an elder who understands hardship and survival.

His long lifespan—over one hundred years—means he carries extensive knowledge of the kingdom’s underworld and history.

This background helps him read people and situations sharply, even when he pretends to be just a loud old man.

For the orphaned and completely alone Felt, Old-Man Rom is essentially “Grandpa.”

He shelters her in his stolen-goods storehouse and provides her with a base from which she can survive in the slums.

Their relationship goes far beyond simple business.

Old-Man Rom worries about Felt’s safety, scolds her when she acts rashly, and supports her in his own rough way.

Although he does not openly speak in sentimental terms, his actions show deep affection and concern for Felt’s future.

He allows her a great deal of freedom while still trying to keep her from throwing her life away.

Within the harsh environment of the slums, Old-Man Rom becomes the closest thing Felt has to family.

Their bond is one of found family, built on shared struggle, mutual trust, and unspoken care.

“Shut that racket!

Were you planning to smash the door down without even knowing the signal and the passphrase?!”

This line captures his rough, loudmouthed style, as well as his concern for basic precautions and common sense.

Even when yelling, he is usually trying to keep others from doing something foolish or dangerous.
