Dajarang
Dajarang is Count Kobal's twenty-three-year-old son, sent to Samar with his father's sworn knights during negotiations over a mine. He uses the expedition to pursue enslaved elves, collaborates with Ujicha of the Garung Tribe, and survives his encounter with Eugene only by surrendering his money and abandoning any immediate claim to authority. (Chapters 97–103)
Biography
Nahama, Samar, and Sienna's Legacy
Dajarang arrives as the wealthy human patron Ujicha hopes to satisfy, but his personal aim is not the mine: he wants to possess an injured female elf. After the first hunt fails, he insults the Garung warriors and joins another pursuit while ordering Bron to protect him from being taken hostage. At the market he offers one hundred million sals for a diseased elf, then helps Ujicha plan to kill the disguised Eugene Lionheart, seize the captives, and remove witnesses. Eugene incapacitates Ujicha, painfully forces Dajarang to empty his stomach, and takes his currency and jewels as the price of sparing his life. Dajarang remains kneeling as Eugene leaves, wishing only to return home; no later action or reform is shown. (Chapters 97–103)
Appearance and personality
Dajarang is twenty-three, extremely overweight, and described in dehumanizing terms as resembling a pig walking upright. His weight has overstrained his knees, so an attempted leap backward barely carries him away, and motion sickness leaves him repeatedly vomiting during the confrontation. The corpus provides no eye, hair, or clothing details specific enough for a fuller neutral portrait. (Chapters 97 and 103)
He is greedy, entitled, cowardly under direct threat, and sexually fixated on women with physical impairments. Dajarang enjoys watching other people hunt and examining prey rather than exerting himself, treats enslaved elves as purchasable objects, and assumes his father's title will protect him. Once Eugene demonstrates otherwise, he becomes immediately compliant, divulges his wealth, and swears on Count Kobal's honor despite having just arranged murder and theft. (Chapters 97–103)
Abilities and powers
No supernatural ability, martial training, or professional skill is demonstrated. Dajarang relies on money, noble status, his father's sworn knights, and local allies such as Ujicha and Bron. His failed attempt to retreat and his inability to resist Eugene's wind technique establish physical limitations rather than combat capability; the corpus does not show him fighting or successfully commanding a crisis. (Chapters 97–98 and 103)
Relationships
- Eugene Lionheart: Dajarang knows Eugene only through a false slave-trader identity. He first tries to buy an elf from him, then conspires to have him killed and robbed. Eugene defeats the ambush, confiscates Dajarang's valuables, warns that a second pursuit will cost his life, and leaves him alive. (Chapters 102–103)
- Bron: Bron is one of the armed protectors Dajarang treats as a dependable servant. Dajarang orders him to prevent a hostage-taking during the hunt, but Bron privately has no intention of indulging another reckless command, showing that habitual misconduct has eroded even his guard's commitment. (Chapter 98)
