エクセル・シオル

A slave warrior of the lowest rank whom Judar meets shortly after he arrives in Grasesta. Very friendly and willing to help Judar acclimatise to his new surroundings, she is nonetheless one of the few warriors skilled enough to participate in the "Disaster" invasions despite her low rank. Her looks and figure make her popular as a team mate for expeditions, but she is frequently the subject of sexual harassment from male team members. Peyro warns Judar not to involve himself with Ekthel, while Sheliela tells Judar that many of Ekthel's team mates who make unwanted sexual advances towards her die in the dungeons or wilderness, with Ekthel frequently making her way back alone to Grasesta. Ekthel was born with an insatiable bloodlust, one which she can only sate in battle and which alienated her elven brethren so much she was forced into self-imposed exile. Soon after she arrived at Grasesta and found the perfect place to sate her desires. Ekthel enjoys the feeling of ecstasy when she kills men who are engaged in sexual intercourse with her. She uses her provocative appearance to entice males to try to rape her and then kills them when they are vulnerable. She later returns to Grasesta and makes the kills appear as deaths attributed to monsters. However she has a policy of not killing any male who doesn't make a pass on her, which gradually makes her obsessed with Judar who is not only strong but never falls for her charms. Judar for his part has seen all kinds of individuals in his mercenary career and is not prejudiced towards others regardless of their kinky preferences provided they are not a direct threat to him. Although he does not make a pass at Ekthel, he eventually realises why she is so notorious and allows her to relieve her "frustrations" with him while he pretends to be asleep.
