Belaf

Belafu is one of the Three Sages of Ilblu. He played a role in the village's creation and is now one of its most important residents.

Appearance
Belafu has a long, centipede-like body, while his head is more reminiscent of a flower. He has almost no facial features except for what is at first glance two empty eye sockets. These "eye sockets" are actually more akin to mouths; a proboscis-like tube protrudes from each hole to take in food. His voice also comes from these openings.

As a human, Belafu was thin and tall. He had wild hair and a large scar across the left side of his face. His eyes were beautiful and light colored and he always had an intense expression on his face.

Personality
Belafu's personality is a stark contrast to Wazukyan's laid back nature. Belafu is very shrewd, and will go through any means possible to get what he wants, even if it means destroying his own body or others.

As a human, Belafu was a much warmer person. While still intense and intimidating, he was very insightful to others thoughts and feelings and helped raise Vueko's confidence during their travels. He was also just as intelligent; he served as the main translator between the Abyss's island natives and the Ganja crew.

Hollow Abyss Flashback Arc
Belafu was once a human, part of the Ganja Suicide Corps who aimed to find the Golden City at the bottom of the Abyss. Belafu was one of Ganja's Sages, and the main translator for the Abyss's native people. After Ganja had created a Camp on the 6th layer and started to suffer symptoms of an unknown body-hardening disease it was Belafu who discovered the source the disease.

He also fell ill from it, due to them having no alternative source of water, but was later healed by "medicine" given to him by Wazukyan

Early Life as Narehate
During one of Bondrewd's reportedly many visits to the village, he brought Mitty with him. Belafu was able to sense Mitty's true immortality, and decided he had to have her for his own. Bondrewd refused to sell her to Belafu no matter what was offered.

So instead, Belafu sacrificed all 724 of his arms and legs, half of his body, part of his sensory organs, and "reduced and used their value" in order for Mitty to be reborn in the village. Belafu uses Mitty as his main source of food, since no matter how much he takes from her, she regenerates due to being immortal.

Ilblu Arc
After Nanachi hears from Majikajya, during a conversation about value, that Belafu is in possession of of the supposed-to-be-dead Mitty they ask Majikajya to take them to Belafu. Uppon visiting the sage's house Nanachi is moved to tears out of happiness to be reunited with Mitty, but is shocked moments later as they watch how Belafu extends his feelers to drink from Mitty. Because Nanachi wants to save Mitty from more torment they offer themself up to Belafu in exchange for Mitty.

Later on, Riko visits the sage since she has been informed to find Nanachi with him. Riko finds Nanachi and Mitty with Belafu, and he tells her that the Mitty he has is a clone created from the original brought by Bondrewd to the village whom he wanted to use as a nutrition source—because he couldn't afford to buy Mitty directly from him, he sacrificed half of his body to have the village replicate her. He also tells her about how Nanachi offered themself up to him and that he is willing to sell her back to Riko in exchange for something of similar value.

He suggests to her to trade both her eyes, both her legs or her complete digestive system to him. Before Riko can make a deal with him Majikajya closes up her mouth, tells her not to be hasty and Riko gives up for the moment.
