The king of Melromarc, known for his blatant favoritism toward his daughter Malty and his contempt for Naofumi Iwatani, the Shield Hero. He's basically the antagonist of the early story—constantly undermining Naofumi while letting Malty get away with whatever she wants. Fans often note that his bias and poor judgment as a ruler drive much of the conflict in the series, particularly his refusal to believe Naofumi's side of events after Malty's false accusations.
