Orlando Campano (オルランド・カンパーノ) was a Squad Leader of the Holy Kingdom's Army and a member of the Nine Colors.
Appearance[]
A powerful-looking man, his neck was stout and his chest muscles bulged enough that one could feel them, even when he was wearing his thick armor. His mighty-thewed arms protruded from his rolled-up sleeves.
Orlando's face was stern, a veteran of harsh conditions, and his thick brows and unkempt mustache spoke of a savage, wild nature. His mighty body and his stern appearance ought to have matched each other, yet his eyes broke that trend. They were tiny and round, beady like those of a small animal, and they felt almost comically out of place.
Personality[]
Orlando was a free-spirited individual who did not take kindly to others ordering or tying him down. He loved to fight and used every opportunity to fight someone stronger to improve himself.
Background[]
Orlando's reputation of his fighting skills led him to be highly honored by others, especially the previous Holy King, who granted him the distinction of being one of the Holy Kingdom's Nine Colors. At some point during his past, he was defeated by Pabel Baraja in battle, who was a fellow member of Nine Colors.
Prior to losing against Pabel, Orlando had been full of himself when he had first been assigned to the fortress and recalling those days embarrassed him. Skilled soldiers gathered around him in admiration, fueling his ego ever further, and somehow, he ended up fighting a mock battle with Pabel.
Due to his free-spirited nature, he had been involved in many violent incidents involving nobles and his superiors, causing him to be demoted over ten times.
Orlando had once fought against Buser in the past.
Chronology[]
The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc[]
- Main article: The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
Orlando was present on the outer wall, along with his fellow Nine Colors companion, Pabel Baraja, during Jaldabaoth's attack. After Pabel was killed by Jaldabaoth's spell, Orlando jumped from the wall to charge against the enemy to avenge his friend. However, Jaldabaoth felt no threat from his attack. Before Orlando could reach him, Jaldabaoth magically commanded Orlando to kill himself with his own sword, which the former had no choice but to obey. After bleeding out, his corpse was then collected by Jaldabaoth before he gave the order for the Demi-Human Alliance to invade the Holy Kingdom.[1]
Abilities and Powers[]
Orlando had some skills with a sword as shown when he has once fought against Pabel. In other words, he favored the sword as a form of close combat. Alongside his fellow soldiers, he also possessed a very high resistance to poisons.
According to the information Demiurge obtained about him, Orlando could apparently use a special attack that was several times more powerful than normal in exchange for breaking his weapons.
Main Equipment[]
- Heavy Leather Armor: The standard armor of the Holy Kingdom, made from the hide of the Lanca Cattle.
- Small Rounded Shield:
- Eight Standard Single-edged Swords:
Relationships[]
Pabel Baraja[]
After facing Pabel and losing to him in a mock battle, Orlando began respecting the man afterwards. At the same time, he harbored a desire to beat him the next time they faced each other again. In addition, he wanted to fight Pabel in his field of expertise, ranged combat, and emerge the victor there.
While he had acknowledged the other man as someone he could talk to because he respected him, Orlando was still the type who did not speak to people just because he respected them.
Buser[]
Orlando fought against Buser, who slowly overcame the human's weapons and almost killed him. However, he was spared thanks to the timely arrival of the Holy Kingdom's reinforcements, forcing the demi-humans to retreat. While he was praised by his comrades for faring well against the beastman, Orlando knew that Buser could have easily killed him and believed that Buser spared him only because he believed that he was not worthy to risk his life to kill.
Trivia[]
