Rasul wore very fine clothes and was adorned with various jewels, which were actually powerful artifacts.

Personality
Initially, Rasul presented himself as kind and compassionate. He did not adhere himself to his nation's doctrine that demons were the most superior race, and instead wished to co-exist with others nations and races.

Rasul also had a sense of humor and tended to act mischievous. He would attempt to lighten the mood and help out whenever someone he cares for is in trouble. Despite his quirkiness, Rasul could also present himself in a serious manner and exuded an authoritative atmosphere while doing so.

After becoming the Demon Lord, Rasul's personality drastically changed. He became cruel and merciless, and aspired for dominance over all of Tortus.
