Klaus Midgar

Klaus Midgar (クラウス ・ミドガル) is the king of Midgar Kingdom. Criticized for his inaction, he is actually fully aware of the existence of the Cult of Diablos and quietly fights their influence.

Appearance
The king has rarely been seen within the series, but the glimpses of him show he is a red-haired, mustached man cleanly dressed for a king presently ruling his nation.

Personality
Klaus is a cautious ruler who wants to neutralize with any troubles as he adopt "the principle of avoiding things". He doesn't make any moves if the problems don't affect his kingdom too much. He also finds it tiresome to remind Iris of his words and also holds high expectations of her, leaving the God of War festival immediately after her loss to Mundane Mann. However, he is also a man of honor, taking great care to respectfully deliver the body of King Raphael Oriana to his homeland, but through the Marquess Grant of the anti-Duke faction opposing Perv Asshat.

God of War Festival Tournament
After the incident at Lindwurm, Klaus was approach by his daughter Iris Midgar as she want to use the kingdom's authority to investigate the Holy Church. Even after hearing reports of suspicions of collusion between the the Holy Church and the Cult of Diablos, Klaus does not try to deal with it on the pretext that it is not certain and have no crucial evident. Because of this statement, Klaus is not highly regarded as a king by both of his daughters.

Powers & Abilities
While seemingly having no combat ability, being the ruler of the Midgar Kingdom, Klaus has great political power over the nation's internal affairs.

Iris Midgar
Klaus's relationship with his eldest daughter has shown to be stern and strict. Unlike the rest of Midgar, who would overly praised Iris's skills, Klaus was very critical towards his daughter's shortcomings, especially her rash behavior. He tried to teach Iris to play smart but this was shown to have failed.

Upon seeing Iris's defeat at the hands of Mundane Mann, he just sighed in disappointment and left the stadium, implying that he has an idea what caused Iris to fail.

Alexia Midgar
Klaus's relationship with his second daughter has yet to be properly explored, but it can be inferred to not be as strained as with Iris. While Iris brushes her shortcoming and maintains her rash behavior, Alexia is more humbled and forward thinking in her actions and consequences for the most part. Klaus did order Alexia to investigate the Church about the Archbishop Drake dark rumors before his assassination, but would have likely cancelled any further investigations had Alexia returned from Lindwurm.

Raphael Oriana
The two kings have had a long history of friendship together, holding a truce between their nations for Midgar to protect Oriana in the event of any external conflict. When he was killed by his daughter, Rose, King Klaus ensured King Raphael's body was protected and returned safely, but through the anti-Duke faction. Even in death, Klaus knew Raphael would have wanted to support the opposition to Perv Asshat

Cult of Diablos
In fact, Klaus already knows about the Cult of Diablos and understands the organization's strength, knowingly hiding the fact of the organization from both of his daughters in order to protect the country from them. It is a consideration as a father who does not want them to be involved with the cult. When Iris was defeated at the God of War Festival, he looked disappointed at first glance and let out a sigh of relief.
