Argus Van Rollreeze

Argus Van Rollreeze also known as King Argus, is the supporting character of the Japanese Light Novel series, The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from His Party Meets a Cat Girl From the Strongest Race.
==Overview==
King Argus is the benevolent king of the Central, Southern, and Eastern continents as well the father of Crown Prince Yuki and Princess Sarya. He was the one who chosen Arios Orlando (the series' main antagonist) as a "Hero" to defeat the current reigning Demon Lord. However, when realizing of Arios' betrayal towards him and the other superiors by allowing the murders upon members of the Adventurer's Guild in his failed attempted to frame Rein Shroud (the main protagonist) for the crime, King Argus stripped Arios of his status as a "Hero" and his equipment for his intention of betraying Argus as well sentence him to prison just so nobody will suffer by the deluded Arios' lies and deceptions. 
After Arios' disqualification as a "hero" for betraying him, King Argus later summoned Rein Shroud where he apologized the beast tamer for causing him all these troubles due to Arios' betrayal. Argus is willing to give Rein whatever he wants (including offering Shroud to become the next "Hero"), wishing for Shroud to forgive the King after the beast tamer was falsely accused by Arios' deceits. Fortunately, King Argus was already forgiven by Rein from Arios' betrayal, though the beast tamer has declined to become the next "Hero" where Rein gives a suggestion to the King of choosing a "Hero" more carefully from now on, which Argus agreed to Rein's advise. Argus only visited the former "Hero" Arios just to informed the former-yet-foolishly (fake) "Hero" that he will be executed two days later. Unfortunately, the date for Arios' execution has never arrived as Arios has escaped from prison and joined the Demon Lord with the help from Monica Eclair. After hearing Arios has escaped from prison due to Monica, King Argus has completely written the traitor, Arios off as a most wanted criminal, placing a price on Arios' head, dead or alive so that Arios will never set foot on any continents and no villages or its inhabitants will ever going to suffer through Arios' lies and deceptions as well as the ex-hero's delusions of grandeur.
Due to the advise from Rein, King Argus has chosen Chiffon Nox as the next "Hero" of replacing the traitorous Arios Orlando due to her positive and all loving personality (unlike Arios due to his twisted delusions), fitting enough for Ms. Nox to become a Hero.
== Appearance ==
King Argus is an elderly man with grey hair and goatee. He wore a crown and a royal outfit. 
== Personality ==
King Argus is the benevolent king who cares about humanity and his subjects. He wants to save the world from the clutches of the Demon Lord. However, he was too careless when he choose Arios to become a "Hero".
King Argus has no tolerance for betrayals or crimes when he place any criminals under arrest by his knights as well the King strongly hates anyone's delusions of grandeur such as when he and his daughter, Princess Sarya placed Arios Orlando under arrest for betraying the king and the princess. Due to Arios' betrayal towards him, King Argus has revoked this deluded Orlando from his title as "Hero" due to violation and sentence the now ex-hero to prison for the murder upon members of the Adventurer's Guild in Arios' failed-yet-weakly attempted to frame Rein for the crimes. When Arios has escaped, King Argus has no choice but to place a bounty on Arios' head, dead or alive where he completely written the deluded-yet-traitorous Arios as the most wanted criminal, even allowing the Adventurer's guild of letting the highest rank adventurer of taking commission to kill/capture Arios just so humanity will no longer have to suffer through the delusional Arios' lies and deceptions.
Argus is also forgivable when he apologized to Rein Shroud for all the troubles Arios caused him as far the king has officially cleared Rein's name from his falsely accused murder. Believing it wasn't enough, King Argus bowed for forgiveness towards Rein and intend to give the beast tamer whatever he wants as well offer Shroud to become the next "Hero". He felt relief that Rein has already forgiven the King from Arios' betrayal though he declined to become the next hero where Rein give an advise to King Argus of choosing a "Hero" more carefully next time, which Argus agreed to Rein's suggestion. Because of Rein's kindness and suggestion, Argus finally chose a young woman named Chiffon Nox to become the next "Hero" of replacing the twisted-yet-selfish Arios due to Chiffon's selflessness and positive personality, capable enough for Ms. Nox to become a suitable "Hero".
