**King Delgal** (国王デルガル, *Kokuō Derugaru*?) is the former king of the Golden Country. His appearance and death at the entrance of a village's underground graveyard on the Island kickstarts the exploration of the dungeon.

## Appearance

As a baby, Delgal was described as having a 'clever' face and having his father's nose.

As a child, Delgal had chin length hair and wore a long-sleeved shirt with a thick belt around his waist, calf-length pants and black shoes.

As an adult, Prince Delgal had shoulder length hair that he wore swept back, with a neatly trimmed mustache and beard. On his wedding day he wore a fur-lined robe on top of a long-sleeved tunic with a high-collar joined from the neck to the waist, and black pants and boots. On his coronation day, he wore a floor-length, long-sleeved tunic and fur-lined robe, and was crowned with a seven-pronged crown. As he aged, his mustache and beard were worn longer. When he made his escape towards the surface, he wore a short, hooded cloak, a tunic, long pants and calf-length black boots.

At his death, Delgal was skeletal in frame with sunken eyes and wrinkled skin, and his remaining hair wispy, wearing a tattered tunic. He then crumbled away to dust.

## Relationships

### Sissel

Sissel the elf was present in Delgal's life from birth. According to Delgal's grandson Yaad, Delgal grew up alongside Sissel and the two were raised as if they were brothers. Delgal likely treasured Sissel to the point that he possibly blamed himself for encouraging the elf's study of magic when he descended into madness and the dark arts.

Sissel, on the other hand, treasures Delgal and all things associated with him to the extent that the creation of the dungeon and curse of immortality that he put on the Golden Country was born out of his desire to protect Delgal and his villager's livelihoods - his interpretation of something Delgal had told him in the past.

### Eodio

He was very distraught and desperate when Eodio fell ill. Once Eodio recovered, Delgal embraced him and teared up in joy.

### Yaad

Not much is known about Delgal's relationship with his grandson Yaad, apart from that they would sit and eat dinner together along with the rest of their family.

### Winged Lion

Like the other residents of the Golden Country, Delgal viewed the Winged Lion as the guardian spirit of his country. He even scolded Sissel for destroying a statue of the Winged Lion.
