Description
Kauss Laforg is a supporting character in the anime Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!. He serves as the head steward and competent attendant to the ducal house of Galbraith, acting as a trusted subordinate to Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, the Duke known as the Blood-Mad Duke. Kauss has sworn his loyalty to the Duke since childhood, a bond that informs his public and private support for his master throughout the story.

Physically, Kauss is an adult male with black hair, which reaches chest length, and grey eyes. He is frequently seen wearing a monocle, along with formal attire such as a coat, vest, and gloves, which suits his professional role as a steward. His appearance is often associated with traits such as a ponytail, reflecting a neat and orderly personal style.

In terms of personality, Kauss is depicted as a refined and level-headed individual who carries out his duties with professionalism. He is deeply devoted to the Duke and takes his responsibilities seriously. However, in contrast to his usually composed demeanor, he finds the concept of eating monster meat repulsive, a reaction that sets him apart from both the Duke and the protagonist, Lady Melphiera Marchalrayd. This distaste for monster-based cuisine provides moments of levity, as his reactions to the Duke and Lady Melphiera's shared interest are portrayed as genuinely funny. At times, his behavior suggests he might be playfully teasing the Duke over his growing affection for the Lady.

Kauss's primary role in the story is to support the Duke of Galbraith both in managing the household and in his daily affairs. He is present at key events, including the banquet where the Duke first saves Lady Melphiera from a monster attack. During this initial encounter, Kauss witnesses the Duke's unexpected fascination with Lady Melphiera's unusual hobby and looks on with his own feelings of disgust. As the relationship between the Duke and Lady Melphiera develops, Kauss continues to serve the Duke while also interacting with other members of the household, including fellow subordinate and cheerful knight Mullan Sero.

His background reveals that his service to the Galbraith family began at an early age. A younger version of Kauss appears in flashbacks at nine years old, confirming his long-standing position by the Duke's side. Furthermore, members of his family are also connected to the household, as his mother eventually becomes one of Lady Melphiera's personal attendants. This familial link further integrates Kauss into the inner workings of the ducal estate.

Regarding notable abilities, Kauss is not primarily a fighter like the monster-slaying Duke or the knights of the household. His competence lies in administration and stewardship. He efficiently manages the ducal household and attends to the logistical and ceremonial needs of his master, proving himself an indispensable asset in the background of the story's romantic and political developments. His character development is largely tied to his growing familiarity with Lady Melphiera's unconventional passion and his ongoing, steadfast support of the Duke.
