"Waterfall Beard" Jorl is a giant and former co-captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, along with Jarl. Along with Jarl, he is known as a hero of the giants and one of the world's oldest warriors.

Appearance
Jorl is a giant with an extremely large mustache and a beard which goes all the way down to the ground. He wears a plaid shirt, and surrounding it in the middle is a circle of teeth-shaped triangles. Around that circle is a dark belt with a skull design on the buckle. He also wears a fur cape with spiral designs on the shoulders. His legs are proportionally small for someone of his height, and he wears dark pants.

Personality
Jorl appears to value warriors, as shown when he complimented Hajrudin for training and aspiring to lead the Giant Warrior Pirates. He is also kind and values children, as shown when he gave thanks for them during a feast. However, he takes the traditions of Elbaf very seriously and was willing to kill Charlotte Linlin, a young child, for breaking them and causing destruction on Elbaf. Like many other characters, he has a unique laugh: "Zabababa."

Abilities and Powers
As a former captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Jorl is an exceptionally powerful warrior even among the giants of Elbaf, being deeply respected as a hero among the giants with Hajrudin showing utmost admiration for him.

Weapons
He is shown using a longsword to attack Charlotte Linlin, although his skill with it is unknown.

History
Jorl and Jarl were once the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. However, they eventually relinquished this status, and became venerated as heroes of the giants.

Sixty-one years before the start of the series, Jorl reunited with Jarl to eat semla at Warland Village with the children of Sheep's House. The 12-day period of fasting for the Winter Solstice then began, but on the seventh day, a member of Sheep's House known as Charlotte Linlin went on a food craving rampage through the village. Despite her being a child and Carmel's pleas, Jorl raised his sword against Linlin, calling her an evil spirit in the form of a child.

Trivia

 * Jorl's unique laugh is possibly a reference to zabazaba, one of onomatopoeias meaning "large amount of falling waters" and "waterfalls" in Japanese. Interestingly, his laugher is somewhat resembling that of Brogy (Gabababa which could be a reference to the onomatopoeia Gabagaba meaning "something is too large", "something bigger opens", "something big opens", and so on).
