Touden, Laios
Summary
Laios Touden, a 26-year-old adventurer born on November 26, 488, on the Northern Continent, stands 185cm tall with a BMI of 26. As the leader of his party, he is an incredibly potent fighter, despite being frequently underestimated by others. He leverages his extensive knowledge of monster biology and mythology, often gained through cooking them, to devise effective combat techniques. This expertise was notably displayed during the battle with the Lunatic Magician, where he demonstrated memorized facts about dragons. While generally calm and gentle, Laios becomes intensely passionate when discussing monsters, leading him to speak rapidly, gesture animatedly, and make expressive facial movements that often irritate his companions. Outside of dungeon crawling, Laios struggles with social interactions, often missing cues and being overly blunt, which frequently results in arguments. Although he views everyone as friends and intends to be friendly, his social awkwardness makes others uncomfortable, with some even perceiving him as potentially dangerous or evil due to their inability to understand him. He remains accepting and quick to forge bonds, even with groups like orcs, likely because he does not distinguish between himself and other races, showing little interest in anything other than monsters. His reverence for these creatures has made him exceptionally cautious regarding their threats. His dietary preferences include dairy products, particularly cheesecake, while he dislikes squid and octopus.
