Rigurd began as chief of a goblin village shielded by the sealed storm dragon Veldora’s aura. Following the death of his eldest son, Rigur, during direwolf assaults, he petitioned Rimuru Tempest for aid. Rimuru’s mediation not only secured peace with the direwolves but also bestowed names upon the goblins, triggering Rigurd’s evolution from a frail elder into a robust hobgoblin. This metamorphosis, humorously termed the “Rigurd Shock” by fans, enhanced his lifespan, vitality, and leadership prowess. Elevated to Goblin King by Rimuru, Rigurd governed nearby goblin settlements before ascending to Prime Minister of the Jura-Tempest Federation. His duties grew to encompass civil administration, citizenship oversight, and internal governance, aided by officials such as Luigurd, Regurd, and Lilina. Though primarily an administrator, his A-rank combat aptitude surfaced when he hurled a 20-meter megalodon during battle. Rigurd combines stoic resolve with emotional vulnerability, openly tearing up when praising his son Rigur II. A skilled diplomat, he cultivates unity through communal celebrations, blending charisma with lighthearted humor. His unwavering loyalty to Rimuru fuels a relentless focus on national security and bureaucratic efficiency. Historically, Rigurd’s village traded scavenged adventurer gear with Dwargon craftsmen to improve living standards. After Veldora’s aura dissipated, direwolf raids intensified until Rimuru intervened. Post-evolution, he transitioned from roles like goblin riders’ captain to governance, though he later aided defenses against invading knights. Across chronicled events, Rigurd sustained political stability during the federation’s growth, honed his combat skills, and coordinated with military figures like Benimaru and Souei. While operating behind the scenes, his efforts proved instrumental in unifying goblin tribes and securing the nation’s flourishing prosperity.
