Youm Farmenas began as a petty criminal detained in a Falmuth Kingdom borderlands correctional facility. His trajectory altered when Nidol Myam County authorities enlisted him to command a prisoner survey unit, which he forged into a disciplined force. During a mission, this group crossed paths with Rimuru Tempest, sparking a transformative alliance that steered Youm from infamy to heroism. His legend crystallized upon vanquishing the Pig-Head Emperor—a victory carefully staged by Rimuru to craft him into a political symbol of hope. Though projecting stern authority, Youm concealed a principled core driven by empathy. His blend of tactical leadership, camaraderie-forging charm, and unpretentious humor rendered him both respected and relatable. Even as he ascended to monarchic status, he eschewed self-aggrandizement, maintaining humility while balancing regal duties with affable mischief. Under Rimuru’s tutelage, Youm honed his combat skills through Hakuro’s rigorous drills, achieving prowess comparable to elite demons. He mastered a unique two-handed greatsword technique, augmented by gear like the Dragon-Slaying Steel Sword and agile Skeleton Full Armor, excelling against colossal foes. His tactical ingenuity in coordinating troops solidified his reputation as a battlefield strategist. Diablo’s machinations later propelled Youm to kingship after inheriting Edmaris’ throne. Renaming Falmuth to Farmenas, he founded a realm bridging human-monster relations, advocating coexistence at diplomatic summits. His intervention alongside Rimuru against Clayman at the human-monster conference defused regional hostilities. Personal bonds deeply influenced his reign. A rivalry-turned-alliance with Grucius, centered on their affection for Mjurran, evolved into steadfast loyalty, with Grucius leading his royal guard. Marriage to Mjurran and their daughter Mieme’s birth anchored his once-rootless existence in familial purpose. He remained unwaveringly devoted to Rimuru, crediting the slime for his redemption and family’s safety. Pivotal maneuvers defined his ascent, including faking his squad’s destruction to outmaneuver the Pig-Head Emperor’s army—a gambit enabling his covert alliance with Rimuru. Reluctantly embracing his manufactured heroic image, he ultimately grew into the role through genuine valor and equitable governance. As King Farmenas, he championed unity, justice, and interspecies collaboration, echoing ideals nurtured through his partnership with Tempest.
