Gazel Dwargo reigns as the third-generation king of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, ruling wisely and heroically for over three hundred years. His appearance reflects his dwarven heritage, featuring a muscular build, human-like height, tanned skin, and jet-black hair swept back. He typically wears armor or formal attire befitting his status, including a crown during official functions. His personality merges stern authority with pragmatic diplomacy. He adheres to a philosophy of "peace through strength," demonstrating perceptive judgment, natural charisma, and a firm commitment to truth and honor. While outwardly stern and calculating, he demonstrates openness in forming alliances and occasional exasperation in personal exchanges. He avoids unnecessary conflicts but acts decisively to protect Dwargon or honor commitments. In his youth, he wandered the Jura Forest and trained under a Sword Oni, honing his formidable swordsmanship and spirit-possession abilities. His strength rivals that of demon lords and other elite fighters. As king, he ensures Dwargon's stability through impartial governance and forward-looking statecraft. His relationship with Rimuru Tempest undergoes significant evolution. Initially, he exiles Rimuru and the dwarf artisans Kaijin, Garm, Dord, and Myrd after a rigged trial orchestrated by Minister Vesta, whom he also punishes for dishonesty. During this first encounter, he perceives Rimuru as a potential threat comparable to the Storm Dragon Veldora and dispatches a spy to monitor his activities. Later, he tests Rimuru's intentions following the Orc Lord's defeat and advises him to form a nation, leading to the Jura-Tempest Federation's establishment. He supports this alliance by assigning Vesta to work under Rimuru for redemption. Their dynamic matures into mutual political respect. Gazel provides military aid, such as deploying Pegasus Knights during the Charybdis crisis, and engages in high-level discussions concerning Falmuth and Demon Lord Milim Nava. He becomes a trusted advisor, lecturing Rimuru on state finances and governance while defending his actions despite their disruptive consequences. However, he reacts with rare fury upon learning of Veldora's resurrection and human form, criticizing Rimuru for withholding this critical information. Notable behaviors include accepting gifts from Rimuru, like a Santa Claus outfit, which he wears with pride despite visible exasperation. He enjoys apple brandy and requests a steady supply from Rimuru. During a festival in Rimuru's city, he observes the monsters' happiness with genuine curiosity. His leadership style balances authority with moments of approachability, reflecting his complex role as a warrior-king dedicated to his nation's prosperity.
