"Battle Demon" / head of the Eight Fingers' security division and leader of the Six ArmsEight FingersHumanUnknown
Personality
A composed, sharp-eyed veteran fighter who can tell from a hole in an iron door that a fist made it, not a magic item. Extremely conceited, he calls himself the strongest in the Kingdom and vows to make Brain and Gazef kneel at his feet. He avenges the slightest offense, and he once thought of gift-wrapping Climb's head and sending it back to Renner (unverified).
Abilities
- A bald giant covered in tattoos of five beasts (panther, falcon, rhinoceros, buffalo, and lion); through shamanic possession, he channels beast spirits into his body
- Shamanic possession makes his fists as hard as orichalcum, and his punches gouge walls as if they were soft clay; his straight punch can also send a shockwave at distant enemies (Vol. 6)
- Strongest technique: described as a magical technique that truly embodies "one hit, one kill" (how many beast spirits it activates at once is unclear), yet it could not budge Sebas at all (Vol. 6)
- Equipped with a Monk's Black Belt, the Armband of the Beast King, and Boots of Speed. He is considered a match for adamantite-rank adventurers and is acknowledged as the Eight Fingers' strongest fighter
History
- Some time ago he recruited the naturally spawned Elder Lich Davernoch into the Six Arms, promising to introduce him to a magic teacher and to pay him (background)
- At the meeting of Eight Fingers division heads, he offered Hilma guards and was refused; he instead lent Succulent to Cocco Doll of the slave division to guard the brothel (Vol. 5)
- After Sebas's group destroyed the brothel, he ordered Succulent bailed out and information gathered, vowing to make the intruders go through hell (Vol. 5)
- Fought Brain to a standstill at a Six Arms base. Told that a single old man had wiped out four Six Arms members in an instant, he refused to believe it. He threw his strongest blow at Sebas without moving him an inch and was killed by a single kick, realizing only as he died that his opponent was not human (Vol. 6)
Trivia
He looks very much like "Wutugu" from the mobile game Monster Strike, who even has a "Samurai Killer" ability. In the non-canon story of the mobile game MASS FOR THE DEAD, he survived and formed the "New Six Arms" (game).

- Ampetif Cocco Doll: Head of the slave division, who asked him for guards
- Hilma Cygnaeus: Fellow Eight Fingers leader; refused his helpunverified
