Character from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara
Asuna's obsessive bodyguard who joined Laughing Coffin — proof that the line between devotion and predation can be invisible until the knife is already out.
Kuradeel was assigned as Asuna's bodyguard within the Knights of the Blood, and his protective duties curdled into possessive obsession. When Asuna chose Kirito over his 'protection,' he defected to Laughing Coffin and attempted to murder Kirito during a shared quest — paralyzing both Kirito and another player with poisoned water before attacking. He is a cautionary tale about how SAO's pressure broke people in different directions: some became heroes, some became survivors, and some became the thing they feared.
Tall and lean with long dark hair and a thin, severe face. He wears Knights of the Blood armor immaculately. His eyes are intense in a way that initially reads as dedication and eventually reads as obsession.
