Vesture Kloff Di Laufen

Vesture Kloff Di Laufen (ヴェスチャー・クロフ・ディ・ローファン) was a former adamantite-ranked adventurer and the mentor of Gazef Stronoff.

Appearance
Vesture is described was an elder that had to be a warrior from his appearance. He wore typical dojo attire, black from the waist down and light blue from the waist up. He had a full head of white, not a single strand of hair was black. His arms were slender, as expected of his age, yet they did not sag and were thin yet hard like steel. His eyes were beast-like and perceptive.

Personality
Considering his position in owning a school and having train disciples under him, he most likely bear a teacher-like mindset. According to one of his disciples, he shows concern for whatever grand scheme the Sorcerer King was up to behind the scene. Vesture even thoughtfully considers the future of what his legacy will be if he was to die. For instance, he is willing to let a male disciple of his escape alive alongside the other orphan children and have that person pass on Vesture's swordsmanship skills taught to him.

Background
Vesture was an accomplished adventurer in his time. Thirty years ago, he was part of an adamantite adventurer team that braved the depths of the northern Tob Forests to retrieve a rare herb from Zy'tl Q'ae with two mithril adventurer teams.

After he retired, Vesture established a swordsmanship school for pupils he chose himself. He personally trained the future Warrior-Captain through a hellish regimen of sword training and lectures.

The Dark Warrior Arc
Vesture was mentioned by Clementine to be one of the few people in the Re-Estize Kingdom whom could put up a good fight against her.

The Sealed Evil Tree Arc
Vesture's name was mentioned during the conversation between Momon and Pinison Pol Perlia in the northern Tob Forest.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
At the war conference in the Re-Estize Kingdom, Vesture's name was brought up as one of the retired adamantite adventurers that exist in the capital. Later, his history is further explained by Brain Unglaus to Climb during Gazef Stronoff's duel with Ainz Ooal Gown.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Vesture gave Brain Unglaus permission to hire two of his Six Great Disciples under the job of training swordsmanship techniques alongside the latter to orphan children. One of his two disciples who was a female revealed that their teacher Vesture happens to suspect the Sorcerer Kingdom is plotting something in the dark. Hence, she asked Brain in Vesture's stead to have him take his other disciple present with her whenever Unglaus is ready to help the children escape alongside him. She believes this way, Vesture's swordsmanship techniques will continue to be passed down to children even if they were to die during the war against the Sorcerer Kingdom. Before having his two disciples meet up with Brain, he was revealed to have already taken his legacy including passing on his swordsmanship skills into consideration with them.

After the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces arrived at Re-Estize, Vesture have already long since been accompanied by his Six Great Disciples to the Magician's Guild ahead of time. He was present in the guild's location with them to protect the most dangerous item within the association's arsenal, Armageddon Evil (Prototype) from falling into the wrong hands by their enemy. When the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces finally appear at the guild's doorstep, the first to intervene in blocking their path was none other than Vesture and his apprentices. Before he even gets the chance to properly introduce himself or assume a battle stance against Aura and her magical beasts, Vesture was also the first before his Six Great Disciples to be swiftly killed off by the latter. The rest of Vesture's apprentices shortly later were then proceeded to be murdered by the latter's familiars.

Abilities and Powers
So far, it was revealed that Vesture is a highly-skilled martial artist and swordsman. Vesture himself has developed a stronger technique that surpassed the Sixfold Slash of Light. However, Vesture was unable to utilize it to its fullest potential due to his advanced age, which he then taught it to Gazef Stronoff.

According to the Windflower scripture intel report, he was even one of the five people who could fight Clementine, which is another testament to his power.

Based on the author Maruyama's level ranking, Vesture is ranked above Tira yet falls short below Kullervo Palantynen in terms of levels.

Two swords hung by his waist side and a breastplate covered his torso.

Gazef Stronoff
If Gazef hadn't met the retired adventurer, his fate would have been to become a mercenary. It was Vesture who dragged him into his school and taught him all the skills of the sword, leading him to become the Kingdom's strongest warrior.

Brain Unglaus
Brain presumes Vesture had probably allowed him to hire his disciples due to considering the fact that the former was the one who wielded outstanding swordsmanship. Vesture was suspected by him as someone who wanted to introduce his Six Great Disciples to the mercenary, perhaps making Brain owe him a favor in the process. Hence, the reason behind why Brain did not show much gratitude towards the man. Despite this Brain trained under him and managed to learn the Sixfold Flash of Light.
