Geld emerges as a high-ranking Orc general during a catastrophic famine, ascending to leadership after the Orc Lord’s death. Renamed by Rimuru Tempest, he evolves into the Orc King, abandoning destruction to safeguard his tribe and oversee infrastructure in Rimuru’s nation. He commands the Yellow and Orange Corps, directing defense strategies and projects like road networks and magic rail systems.
His predecessor, the original Orc Lord, arose from desperation during the same famine, consuming his father to gain the Unique Skill *Starved*. Leading a ravenous army, he devastated the Ogre village and Lizardmen territories before clashing with Rimuru. After evolving into a Demon Lord Seed by devouring his advisor Gelmud, he was defeated and absorbed by Rimuru, finding solace in death.
The current Geld, son of the fallen Orc Lord, shoulders his father’s legacy. Following the war, he leads the surviving Orcs, pledging allegiance to Rimuru. Tormented by guilt, he sought execution as penance but instead committed to atonement through labor. Over time, Rimuru’s soul fragment transforms him into an Earth Spirit Deity, earning him the title *Barrier Lord* among the Twelve Guardian Lords. His Unique Skills *Gourmet* and *Guardian* merge into the Ultimate Gift *Lord of Gluttony*, enabling resource storage and ally protection through damage redirection.
Serious and unyieldingly loyal, Geld battles self-doubt as a leader but gradually gains confidence through tribal support. He displays paternal warmth toward children, often engaging in play, yet shows no mercy to threats against his people. In *Scarlet Bond*, internal turmoil over past sins resurfaces, prompting vulnerability quelled by Benimaru’s counsel.
Physically, his Orc Lord form boasted a towering, armored frame with a potbelly and crimson forehead jewel. As a Demon Lord Seed, his size expanded into a colossal, flattened-torso giant. Now, he retains a muscular Orc build with a mohawk, pointed ears, and a three-tooth necklace, clad in loose pants and a black cloak.
Loyalty defines his bond with Rimuru, whom he reveres as a compassionate ruler, and fuels camaraderie with allies like Phobio. A bitter rivalry with the Moderate Harlequin Alliance’s Footman stems from past betrayals. His pragmatic integration of prisoners into Tempest’s labor force mirrors his tribe’s redemption, reflecting growth toward inclusivity and understanding.
