Wazukyan

Wazukyan is a narehate in Ilblu. He is one of the Three Sages, the ones who created Ilblu. He can speak the language of humans.

Appearance
Wazukyan is large, and covered by what appears to be an intricately crafted fur robe. His face is flat, with the left half of it marked in a shape reminiscent of a white skull. Two large blunt horns protrude from the sides of his head and arch upwards dramatically before looping back down in front of his face. His arms are a tangled mess of lots of segmented limbs. He walks on two legs.

As a human, he had a bulky, commanding figure and very sharp facial features. He had a beard that framed his face and slicked back hair. His face was covered in scars and he had large bags under his half lidded eyes.

Personality
Despite his intimidating and commanding appearance, Wazukyan seems to be pretty laid back. Though he is one of the ones in charge of the village, he is first seen eating at a very crowded restaurant and making pleasantries with the other patrons. Riko bowed very low when she introduced herself to him as a delver, to which he just replied with "Oh, Cool! That's nice!" and gave her a high five. He seems to have an amiable relationship with most of the other narehate in the village; he greeted them all very casually as he passed by.

Curiously, Riko noted that he "smells of the sun," just like Reg said about another character. Whether this is significant is unknown.

As a human, Wazukyan was essentially the same, if not more serious. Belafu described him as having some sort of a "divine possession" when it came to his instincts. His hunches and predictions were always right, even when he didn't have any prior knowledge, even predicting Vueko's joining Ganja. His crewmates trusted and respected him as their leader. While travelling to the Abyss, he would eat bugs and mice from the bottom of the ship to "prevent disease."

History
At some point in the past, Wazukyan led Ganja in search of what the island natives called "Shourou's Golden City" down the 6th layer. During Ganja's advance to the 6th layer they met some Interference Units and learned of the curse. Accepting that they wouldn't be able to return to the surface, Wazukyan proposed to start anew and become the first citizens of the golden city, thus leading to the later founding of Ilblu.

Ilblu Arc
Wazukyan first appears in the narehate restaurant. He is a guest sitting right next to Riko. After she is informed by, Moogie, who he is she hastily introduces herself to him as a delver. Wazukyan gives her an relaxed response saying it's neat that she is a delver and gives her an high five before leaving.

Later on Wazukyan makes a brief appearance at the end of the battle with the Fuzosheppu explaining its nature and praising Riko for doing a "good job". Riko asks him of a way to get Nanachi back from Belafu, to which the sage assumes it might be possible if they were to present a part of "the embodiment of value".
