Jorul

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

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

Personality
Jorl appeared to value warriors, as shown when he complimented Hajrudin for training and aspiring to lead the Giant Warrior Pirates. He was also kind and valued children, as shown when he gave thanks for them during a feast. However, he took 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 was 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. However, in his old age he grew physically frailer and ended up dying after being thrown to the ground.

Weapons
He is shown using a longsword to attack Charlotte Linlin, although it broke against her naturally powerful body.

Past
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. Jorl then attempted to strike Linlin down, but she was able to break his sword with her bare hands. Linlin then grabbed Jorl by the beard and slammed him into the ground, fatally injuring him. With his last breaths, Jorl told the other giants to bring judgement upon Linlin. The giants rushed to give him medical treatment, but due to his old age he died from his injuries.

Legacy
The destruction of the village and death of Jorl earned Linlin the scorn of giants across the world.

Trivia

 * Jorl's unique laugh is possibly a reference to zabazaba— an onomatopoeia meaning "large amount of falling waters" and "waterfalls" in Japanese. Interestingly, his laugher 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).
