Figarland Garling

Saint Figarland Garling is a World Noble of the Figarland Family and the Supreme Commander (最高司令官) of the God's Knights, of whom he is the first to be introduced. He was formerly active as a "champion" on God Valley.

Appearance
Garling is a tall man of advanced age, with a wrinkled face and a sharp, beak-like nose. His long, light-colored hair is styled into one unbent, sideways-pointing spike on each side of his head, plus one comparatively longer, forward-bent spike on top. His facial hair consists of a mustache with a large beard connected to his sideburns, which culminates in a large, forward spike below the chin, making it so that his hair-and-beard combo resembles a forward-facing crescent moon. His eyes are covered by round-framed sunglasses.

For clothes, Garling dons what seems to be a variant of the typical World Noble suit with a thick, standing collar, and over that a long, hooded, dark-colored coat adorned with light, medal-like knobs on the shoulder areas. His footwear consists on plain dark dress boots.

Personality
Garling's sense of morality appears to be congruous with how most Celestial Dragons think, seeing all those beneath his own station as "subhuman scum". He is ruthless in his administration of punishment to those who break World Noble rules and customs, believing in particular that those Nobles who protect people of lower status debase themselves into being even lower scum; Garling was willing to execute Saint Mjosgard for that very crime, namely defending the Neptune Royal Family.

Abilities and Powers
As Supreme Commander of the God's Knights, Garling holds authority over the rest of the group and can pass judgment upon even his fellow World Nobles for behavior deemed intolerable. In addition, he can be assumed to have all the other rights and privileges of a World Noble, such as being able to summon an admiral if he were to be attacked.

Garling was formerly a champion on God Valley, although details regarding this status are unknown.

Weapons
Garling wields a saber, which he seemingly used to execute Donquixote Mjosgard.

Past
Sometime prior to the God Valley Incident 38 years ago, Garling was a "champion" on the island.

Egghead Arc
Garling acted as a judge against Donquixote Mjosgard, who was accused of abetting the pirates Sai and Leo, the suspects of Charlos's attempted murder. He chose to execute Mjosgard for protecting "trash" and was subsequently seen lounging in a chair at the execution site, with cheering Celestial Dragons around.

Translation and Dub Issues
Although translated as the "ruler" of God Valley in the VIZ Media translation, Garling's title ōja (王者) does not typically refer to a king of a country, but rather a kingly figure or "champion". He is also said to have "participated/been active" (活躍) on God Valley.
