Urd Geales/Relationships

Urd Geales is a second progenitor vampire, one of two along with Rigr Stafford that was sired by the first progenitor Sika Madu in the ancient past where he also encountered Ashera Tepes. Whilst Urd considered himself a superior being as of the present time period after the apocalypse event Ud Geales would treat the humans under his domain in Russia markedly better than what other vampires did elsewhere. Heading the progenitor council Urd acted on information provided by Ferid Bathory and punished him along with Krul Tepes after he arrived in Japan. He now has animosity with Rigr and works closely with Lest Karr and Ky Luc. Urd interacts with various other characters throughout the Seraph of the End series, which affects himself and the story. This article details Urd Geale's relationships with other characters.

Sika Madu
Sika Madu, the First Progenitor, was the one who turned Urd Geales into a vampire. Despite Sika Madu having long since abandoned the vampires nearly one thousand years before the start of the series, Urd clearly seems to maintain respect for his sire as he continues to follow and uphold the vampire rules the First Progenitor established. At the same time, Urd harbors a sense of abandonment due to the First Progenitor having long since given up interest in him or any other vampires he sired. Urd realizes that the attack on their helicopter envoy could not have been sent from the First, bitterly believing that Sika Madu would never take the time to look at them, much less respect them. He has given up hope that the First would ever take notice of them and lacks the obsession with him that Saito has.

Saito
With Urd and Rigr Stafford being the eldest vampires sired by Sika Madu during the Dark Ages of Greece, they appear to have had a cordial relationship with each other. Urd, however, seemed to harbor none of the obsession with the First that Rigr shows, even looking perplexed by his enthusiasm and antics. Over time, their relationship became estranged due to Rigr leaving the Progenitor Council and disappearing for centuries. His absence alongside the First Progenitor's left Urd alone as the sole, active proprietor of vampire kind.

After having adopted the name 'Saito' and changing his appearance, Urd is still able to recognize Rigr and continues to address him by his real name. Urd appears to have been keeping loose tabs on Saito, knowing his general whereabouts in Japan and having insight on his true intentions. He also expresses a refined sort of exasperation with Saito's actions in trying to gain the First's attention, knowing it to be a futile effort.

When facing each other for the first time in centuries at Osaka, Urd refuses any of Saito's demands and is left surprised by his newly acquired powers, noting that his fellow Second Progenitor is no longer a vampire. Despite his actions appearing treacherous, Urd still refers to Saito with respect. During his attack on their helicopters, Urd immediately deduces Saito as the culprit, still attempting to seek the First's attention. He also wonders if Saito is looking for a reason to die, seemingly resolving the duty to himself if this were the case.

As for Saito, it is hinted that the former Second Progenitor is actually concerned with Urd's interference in his plans, shown by how he orders Urd to leave Japan and opts to flee rather than fight him. Later on, Saito himself confirms that he is very wary of Urd and would rather avoid any interactions with him at all. While being assailed by Ferid and Crowley, Urd makes his way to Saito and offers him help.

The two refer to each other as "brothers", having been turned by the same sire during the same time.

Ferid Bathory
A seventh progenitor residing in Japan whose eccentricities Urd seems to be aware of. Urd appears to be merely exasperated but not at all offended by Ferid's antics and flippant remarks during the Progenitor Council meeting, though this turns into slight vexation at Ferid's repeated dramatics. While he seems to bear Ferid no personal malice or ill-will (as Urd stops Ferid's unnecessary transformation into a demon), Urd has no qualms over doling out punishment to him, ruthlessly sentencing him to torture by sunlight exposure for ten days. It is later revealed that Urd is well aware of Ferid's abnormal tendencies, even seeming to abhor them. He had, in the past, warned Saito against turning him into a vampire. Urd shows no hesitation in attacking him and Crowley upon Saito accepting his help.

Lest Karr
The vampire king of Europe and a third progenitor with whom Urd has a civil - if somewhat indifferent - relationship. Lest appears by Urd's side when he is watching a theatrical performance and tags along with him to the Progenitor Council meeting. He is also seen at his side during their arrival to Osaka. Urd calls upon him in tracking down Krul and capturing Saito, showing that he, at the very least, has faith in Lest's abilities as a high ranking Progenitor. Lest asks if Urd is alright following their helicopter crash.

Krul Tepes
The vampire queen of Japan and a third progenitor. After her dethronement, she is later rescued by Urd after being imprisoned by Ferid and talking to Saito. While familiar with her, as Urd remembers her and her brother from over one thousand years ago, Urd does not seem to bear any personal feelings over their acquaintance and is, in fact, quite unhesitant in his sentencing of punishment towards Krul for her crimes. He considers her a traitor for betraying the laws of the vampires and shows little regard to her mockery of him for still holding on to those rules. He did, however, eventually allow her to explain herself, but only after Ky Luc vouched for her.

Ky Luc
Urd seems to consider Ky Luc a fairly capable vampire progenitor, entrusting him with watching the punishment of Krul and Urd.

Crowley Eusford
Urd seems to be dismissive of Crowley, not acknowledging or referring to him at all when he had no reason to. Likewise, he shows no hesitation in attacking Crowley alongside Ferid and made it clear Crowley is only able to barely hold him off in a swordlock because Urd didn't intend to kill him and Ferid, though offered a chance for him to surrender. Crowley in return is very well aware of Urd's vastly greater strength and expressed a desire to just give up, knowing Urd could and will easily kill both him and Ferid if they push him too far.



Asuramaru
Originally Ashera Tepes, a vampire the First Progenitor disappeared with over one thousand years ago. The only interaction shown between the two was when Ashera awakens after his transformation into a vampire. Urd quells his concerns, saying that he has become superior to a human, and tells Ashera that he and Saito would show him how to feed.
