Buirimus

Buirimus is a summoner and part of a scouting unit from the Renxandt Imperial Army. Not only does he have great ability as a summoner, he is also a skilled leader and a first-class warrior.^[1]

Personality

Buirimus is a dedicated husband and high-ranking magic summoner in the Empire's army. He puts his family as his first priority, so when he is sent to the Mystic Mountains as punishment for disturbing the Nightmare of the Labyrinth, he attempts to do all he can in order to return to his family. As seen from the severe and extreme abuse he inflicted on his captured goblin in an attempt to complete its enslavement, Buirimus was not even above forcing his creatures to commit horrible acts to break their minds and accomplish his goal of returning home.

Though dedicated, he tends to throw caution to the wind when pursuing his goals, though he remains steadfast in his duties.

After Wrath successfully escaped his mental enslavement and began massacring everyone around him, Buirimus appeared to somewhat regret his past abuse. This is evident during his final moments, when he asked the newly evolved ogre if he hated him and pleaded for forgiveness after being fatally injured by the enraged monster.

Synopsis

Buirimus was tasked with a mission to confirm and subjugate a powerful spider monster that had been sighted in the Great Elroe Labyrinth.^[2] Despite being an elite warrior, Buirimus failed the mission. The spider monster annihilated the contingent, and he barely escaped alive with help from Ronandt.^[3]

Forced to take on the responsibility for the failure by himself, Buirimus was delegated to the Mystic Mountains. Sometime following his transfer, however, he received word that his daughter had been kidnapped. In order to return home and begin a search, he attempted to achieve a great feat that would somehow make up for his previous failure. Around this time, imperial patrols took notice that the local goblin population had somehow obtained magic weapons and was expanding its territory. Fearing they might encroach on imperial lands, Buirimus raided their village of origin. During the raid, he stumbled upon the cause behind the magic weapons: a goblin with the ability to make them. Knowing this skill would be invaluable to the Empire, Buirimus enslaved the creature.

However, Buirimus’ subsequent treatment of the goblin was horrific. His first act upon forcefully forming a contract with it was to solidify his control by forcing it to cannibalize its own family. Yet no matter what kind of abuse Buirimus inflicted, the goblin’s mind refused to break—instead, it acquired the Rage skill. While taken aback by this, Buirimus was too focused on using the achievement of taming such a creature to return to his family to notice the warning signs.^[4]

Ultimately, the goblin's Rage skill evolved into Wrath, causing it to break free from Buirimus’ control and go on a rampage that resulted in the slaughter of him and his men. In his final moments, realizing the horrible things he had done to the creature, Buirimus begged it for forgiveness with his last breath—but went unanswered.^[5]

The goblin subsequently evolved into an ogre and went on a rampage throughout the Empire, until it was driven back into the Mystic Mountains by a squad led by Ronandt.^[6] News of Buirimus’ death later reached his wife, who was already distraught over the loss of their child, causing her to fall even further into despair.^[7] However, the Empire later learned that he had inadvertently created the ogre, prompting Ronandt to outright call him an “idiot” for how short-sighted he had been.^[8]
