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 visibly wrinkled face and a sharp, beak-like nose. His long hair is light in color and styled into a pair of unbent, sideways-pointing spikes on the left and right of his head, plus one extremely tall, forward-bent spike on top. Garling's facial hair consists of a mustache with a large beard linked to his sideburns, culminating in a large forward spike below his chin and making it so that his hair-and-beard combo resembles a forward-facing crescent moon. Garling's eyes are covered by round-framed sunglasses.

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

Personality
Garling's sense of morality appears to fall in line 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 enjoy 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
Garling was a "champion" on God Valley sometime prior to and/or during the God Valley Incident 38 years ago.

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

Translation and Dub Issues
While initially called "the ruler" of God Valley in Chapter 1086's VIZ Media translation, Garling's title ōja (王者) does not typically refer to a country's king but rather to a kingly figure or "champion". He is also said to have "participated/been active" (活躍) on God Valley. The line was later revised in the VIZ translation to instead call Garling a "dominating figure" who "distinguished himself" at God Valley.
