Kuradeel

**Kuradeel** (クラディール, *Kuradīru*) was player of Sword Art Online. He was a member of the Knights of the Blood Oath and the bodyguard of Asuna.

## Appearance

Kuradeel was a man with long, black hair in a pony-tailed. Kuradeel despite being in his late twenties, he had a very wrinkled face, causing some people, like Godfree, to think he was a lot older than he actually was. He wore a standard white and red KoB uniform with a white and red metal chestplate, greaves and shoes, as well as white metal bracers, brownish-gray gloves and a white cape. Under his left gauntlet, he has a tattoo of the Laughing Coffin logo, showing his love for the murder Guild.

## Personality

While Kuradeel tried to present himself as a noble person, under the surface he was a perverted sadistic man. His outfit was rather fitting, as he could be best described as a white knight. He didn't trust Asuna to be outside of his field of vision, especially when she was hanging with people he didn't trust, like Kirito.

He was rather easily annoyed, being it by Kirito mocking his face or with Godree's roleplay persona, and took great pleasure in killing Godree and attempting to kill Kirito. Due to his sadistic nature, he admired Laughing Coffin almost like a fan of a band, hating when then "sold out" for money and preferring their "early work".

## Differences from the Original

While Kuradeel is a sadistic person under the surface he was never stated to be a pervert. Kuradeel *does* go overboard in his duties, but not to the extent that he breaks into her house and watches her sleep. At best, Asuna found him lurking out side her house. Kuradeel is a member of Laughing Coffin in the original, as opposed to a fan. He was recruited after his fight with Kirito by PoH, who escaped being arrested.

Kuradeel didn't try to kill Kirito because he was mad that Kirito made Laughing Coffin "sell out", he did it because Kirito humiliated him and because PoH told him to, in order to enact revenge on Kirito due to being a part of the raid that arrested the other members. Kuradeel doesn't call Asuna a bitch, nor does he try to insist that it is a complement out of fear. Asuna doesn't kill Kuradeel in the Anime, but she does in the original web novel. Her reasoning is different, however.
