Ruijerd Superdia

"We were victims of Laplace's plot! The Superd are no race of monstrous beasts!"

- Ruijerd

Ruijerd Superdia (ルイジェルド・スペルディア) is the former leader of the Superd's Warrior group who once served under Laplace with unwavering loyalty. He was accompanying Rudeus and Eris but left in search of his people. Under manipulation, Ruijerd killed his son, who was able to free him from Laplace's control. Following his species' death, Ruijerd travels the world to dissolve the stigma against the Superd race.

Appearance
He was tall for an average Superd, and shared their distinctive features such as emerald green hair with a red gemstone on his forehead. He wears a brown tribal vest that only covers his back and sides, fully displaying his frontal torso and arms.

Moreover, he has a long scar that trails from the right top corner of his forehead across his glabella to the left end of his cheek.

When Rudeus bleached his hair, it became a different color. However, Ruijerd later shaved his head bald and wore a headband to cover the gemstone on his forehead.

He now wears the necklace gifted to him by Rudeus around his neck.

Personality
Despite having a scary demeanor, Ruijerd is very kind and fatherly. He always helps children no matter what the circumstances, he can go berserk when people try to hurt them. Ruijierd follows a very strict warrior's code.

Background
Ruijerd is from a town in the Babinosu Region. He was once the leader of the Superd's Warrior group that served as Laplace's Elite Force prior to the war four hundred years ago.

However, Laplace betrayed their loyalty by ordering them to take up the pitch black Devil's spears into battle in favor of their birth spears, which caused them to fall into a mesmeric ecstasy state by mindlessly slaughtering those around them, including their own family. After giving his son a fatal wound, Ruijerd's son manage to destroy the Devil's spear and finally wake Ruijerd from his stupor to realize the truth.

In the moment of despair from his actions, Ruijerd had considered committing suicide to atone for his sins, but ultimately decided to swear vengeance on Laplace for the cruel fate be-felled his people along with everyone of the warrior group.

After several years of hiding and biding his time carefully, he finally got his revenge when he interfered in the decisive battle between Laplace and the three heroes. But even if Laplace was defeated, there was no way to change the things that had already transpired, and the horrible reputation of the Superd Tribe had already taken root. After exacting his revenge, he now has a goal of removing the infamy that the Superd race has.
