Kabru

Personality type: ENTJ.

He's very observant. He notices subtleties in people's behavior, their habits, emotions, and motives. He quickly analyzes situations and draws conclusions. He's charismatic and easily wins people over. He prefers to solve problems through negotiation, cunning, or planning rather than brute force. He likes to be in control. His approach to people is reminiscent of detective work. Kabru almost never speaks directly when the same can be achieved more subtly: asking leading questions, changing the subject, allowing people to reach their own conclusions, choosing words that are easier for them to accept. He's genuinely interested in people. Monsters hardly interest him—human actions, feelings, and motives are far more important. At first glance, he seems almost unperturbed.
However, this isn't a lack of emotion, but an ability to control it. If he's angry or anxious, those around him usually don't notice. True feelings only surface in rare moments. He tends to overestimate his ability to read people. Sometimes he's overly suspicious. Because of his constant analysis, he finds it difficult to simply relax and trust others.

Goal-oriented, ambitious, thoughtful, and with a strong sense of justice. He adapts to each person, finding the right approach and identifying both their strengths and weaknesses. Among close friends, he is more open to his feelings, sincere, and caring. Despite his friendly demeanor, he is deeply cynical and especially ruthless toward those he believes are responsible for corruption on the island, such as the corpse hunters who kill adventurers for profit, and the governor. He distrusts people in positions of political power. Despite possessing excellent deduction and insight, he lacks extensive experience with dungeons and monsters, which has led to his party and himself being killed several times. He notices details in people's behavior but does not reveal all their cards right away, only gently leading them to it.

A 22-year-old man with dark skin, black hair, and blue eyes, he stands 170 cm tall. In the dungeon, he wears a chainmail shirt under pieces of plate mail and leather armor, as well as white pants and boots. After dying a second time, he removes most of his armor, leaving only leather armor over a black turtleneck. Outside, he wears a white shirt with black pants.

Lin
A mage in his party. Lin is in love with Kabra and is jealous of his many girlfriends, but he doesn't feel romantic feelings for her; rather, she reminds him of a brother or sister.

Holm
Healer/summoner. Like the other members of the group, he trusts Kabru's judgment, but is aware of his duplicitous nature. Meanwhile, Kabru greatly respects him for his knowledge of spirits.

Mickbell
He gets along well with him, although Kabru thinks he should learn to relax a little. He believes that Mikbell shouldn't be so controlling of Kuro (out of fear that Kuro might leave him someday), but should instead simply be honest with him.

Kuro
Kabru grew up in a village near a kobold settlement, and as a result, he understands more about kobold culture than other characters, and also speaks some of the native kobold language, which he sometimes uses to talk to Kuro about things that Kuro can't articulate in the common tongue.

Kabru also seems to be helping Kuro learn the common language by teaching him lessons (though they have to wait until Mikbell falls asleep so he doesn't find out), and he gradually begins to understand how much Kuro and Mikbell care for each other, even if they're not on the same page about it. He hopes the two can become true friends once they start speaking the same language.

Kabru had grown close to Mithrun ever since Kabru dragged him into the pit to prevent him from killing the dungeon master. The Canaries tasked him with keeping Mithrun safe and sound until they were rescued, and at that moment, Kabru learned the truth about the dungeons being prisons for Demons, as well as that Mithrun himself was once a dungeon master who now had no wishes after being "devoured" by said Demons.

Kabru showed great interest (and pity) in Misurn's tragic story, apparently wanting to boil his story down to its essential elements to tell to Laios as a warning.

Kabru has taken on the role of Misurn's guardian, ensuring he eats, sleeps, doesn't run away, and doesn't overexert himself. Fleki comments that Kabru is surprisingly good at keeping Misurn under control. Kabru has grown attached to him over the days they've spent together. He's willing to continue caring for him, if only out of his own free will.

Milsuril was Kabru's adoptive mother after the events in Wutai left him an orphan with nowhere to go. She doted on him and spoiled him to the extreme, which eventually left Kabru uneasy. Milsuril ended up comforting Kabru when he revealed that his biological mother was ostracized for his "unnatural" blue eyes, and the people of Wutai thought of him as the spawn of a succubus demon. Milsuril later gave Kabru all sorts of biological information about why his eyes are that color and reassures him that he is in no way a monster.

Kabru feels incredibly indebted to Milsuril for raising him, even if she was overbearing, however, growing up in such an environment has led him to the personal understanding that "elves can never truly understand the short-lived races."

Kabru was initially deeply suspicious and distrustful of Laios; all the strange rumors about him and his party led Kabru to believe he was a bad man. However, after meeting him properly and learning of his obsession with monsters, he came to understand that Laios was, in fact, simply an extremely eccentric individual. Kabru became convinced that Laios was the only person on the island with the skill, knowledge, and determination to defeat the Dungeon Master, and decided to support him in any way he could. However, after learning of the true nature of the dungeons and that Laios could be in danger of being deceived by a demon, he desperately wants to stop him and protect him from actions that could lead to his own or his party's death.

He also recently confessed to Lajos that, although he absolutely hates monsters, he wanted to become Lajos' friend to at least try to understand where his love for them comes from.

Kabru possesses extremely fearsome combat skills. He is capable of easily striking a human opponent's vital points and is even skilled in the use of various weapons, including swords, daggers, and even spears.

Unfortunately, he lacks experience or knowledge about monsters and the dungeon, which leads to him and his party often being defeated.

Kabru can be somewhat irresponsible when it comes to housework. His landlord, a pub bartender, cleans his room for free.
