Urd Geales

Urd Geales (ウルド・ギールス) is a second progenitor of the vampires in the Seraph of the End series. He is the ruler of Russia and the current leader of the Progenitor Council. Becoming aware that a vampire city has fallen in Japan, Urd heads there with a host of vampire nobles including Lest Karr. Sentencing Krul Tepes and Ferid Bathory for what their actions resulted in, Urd tasks Ky Luc with overseeing their sentence while he retakes the city.

Having lived in the ancient past, Urd like Saitō was transformed by Sika Madu. Dutiful in upholding vampire law until the present day, Urd would be open to Krul's words that human factions such as the Japanese Imperial Demon Army were gaining prominence since they were willing to undertake forbidden experiments where vampires never changed. Noting that the First was awakening, Urd comes into conflict with Saito.

With efficiency, Urd wastes no time in shaping the aftermath of a major conflict in Shibuya involving the First, humanity's armed forces, and Saito's Hyakuya Sect. Able to act freely with those factions exhausted, and on account of his own power, Urd leads the progenitor council vampires in acquiring the leaders of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Hearing Saito's plan, Urd follows his direction to capture Shikama Doji.

Appearance
He has the appearance of a young man with notably tanned skin compared to other characters. Being a vampire Urd has the characteristic pointed fangs. His shiny, golden-blond hair is styled in a neat manner. Parted over his forehead so his vampire-red eyes are visible, Urd has a section of hair in the middle, and on either side of his head in-front of his vampire pointed ears. Upon his left ear, he has a golden adornment consisting of two clasps upon the upper and lower shells, which are connected by a thin chain. From the lower cuff hangs a tapered charm. Based on them not being seen in the past, Urd's ear piercings are more recent.

His attire consists of a dark sleeveless vest featuring six buttons. This is worn over a white collared dress shirt of which the long-sleeves can be viewed. The pants are the same color as his vest. Urd occasionally dons a formal-styled mackintosh with a high collar. He wears black gloves and a decorated neck tie. In the past Urd wore clothing more in keeping with the time period. A white tunic was worn loose over Urd's frame, that had a black belt around his waist. At a later point in time, a similar tunic option was chosen. Again it featured a black belt, where a long-sleeved shirt was worn underneath. Urd's dark colored sword sheath has consistently been held on his left hip.

Personality
Serious in virtually all matters, Urd is shown to possess a cool, nonchalant attitude. He claims to dislike unnecessary fuss, as displayed in past memories of him alongside Rigr. Similarly upon finding Lest Karr nearby Urd wondered what he was doing here. Speaking directly he orders Ferid to reach the point when there are troubling circumstances at hand. Growing tired of Ferid speaking at a later point, Urd commands Lest Karr to silence him. Sentencing them swiftly without a second thought, Urd spoke how Krul and Ferid had best have an interesting story to tell once their sunlight exposure torture was over.

He also displays a superior side as he constantly reprimands Lest about his words and place and refers to Ferid and Crowley as 'lesser vampires'. In fighting Crowley he took the moment to state how it would be easy to break through his sword. He also seems to believe that vampirism is a revolution for humans, as shown by his interaction with the recently turned Ashera.

"Do not fear. As of now, you have shed your humanity. You have been permitted to become a superior being that surpasses humans."

- Alleviating Ashera's concerns after he is transformed into a vampire and his view on their state.

Having a very strong sense of responsibility is useful being the King of Russia. Although vampires have divided themselves up into factions and generally keep to their own devices, Urd does not dismiss foreign affairs as outside his concern. Not only would he travel with an army of nobles, Urd personally sets out to reclaim a city lost to human forces.

Urd appears to be a strict follower of the rules laid out for the vampires. He has no initiative to stray from his path as a second progenitor, even when Saitō states the position to be boring and foolish.

Though harsh, Urd is also shown to possess fair judgement, displaying a quite reasonable and even somewhat merciful side when dealing with events that do not require serious handling and apparently being more inclined to non-lethal punishments instead of just instantly killing guilty vampires. He withholds blame towards Lest for being unable to stop Saitō, acknowledging his weaker position as a Third Progenitor. Even though he dislikes Ferid, he does not let that get in the way of his reasoning side, showing him some mercy by ordering Lest to return Ferid's heart to stop him from becoming a demon and later on giving Ferid and Crowley a chance of survival, presenting them with the option of surrender and facing judgement from the Progenitor Council, rather than death by him (he only resorts to attacking them after Ferid's challenge).

Unlike most other vampires, Urd is shown to consider the wellbeing of the humans under his rule. Human children in Russia are allowed to wear normal clothes and run around with no restriction, where they also appear quite happy. Likewise, Urd values humans more than others of his kind, and stated to often be found observing humans for entertainment purposes. Watching the humans perform ballet is also an indication of an interest Urd has that does not concern blood, where that often occupies a vampire's focus.

Although fast to respond, and acting decisively in the moment, Urd has an indifference for follow-up actions. After rapidly engaging Saito, there was no inclination to pursue him. Sentencing Krul and Ferid was done on the spot and carried out. When Ferid was freed, Urd seemingly thought nothing on this, neither for the group who were capable of freeing him. For all his willingness to kill Ferid when he found him in Shibuya, he allowed him to escape. Despite vowing to destroy the city of Shibuya, as with other scenarios Urd gives it no further thought once another matter arises.

History
Urd's history is largely unknown. At some point in the ancient past, Urd was a human sat in a prison cell along with Rigr. Together they were found by Sika Madu and offered eternal life. When he was still human, Urd is seen in a meeting with Sika accompanied by Yu in his chambers, watching on as Saitō appears to be talking enthusiastically. Urd was sired at about the same time as fellow Second Progenitor Saitō.

Along with Saitō he awaits for Ashera to wake up after being reborn as a vampire. Speaking to Rigr and reminding him that he does not like unnecessary fuss, Urd then tells Ashera to not fear, as he has shed his humanity and surpassed humans by becoming a vampire. After Ashera starts to become thirsty and begins craving blood, Urd agrees with Rigr that they will have to help him get used to it before suggesting they go above. One thousand years ago Urd was there alongside Saitō and Krul when Sika Madu left with Ashera.

After the First Progenitor left, Urd assumed command over the Progenitor Council as the strongest vampire active. He was intent on keeping the peace and stability of vampires and ensure the rules remained unbroken. In a secluded castle within a mountainous region of Romania Urd asked Rigr whether he was leaving. With no response Urd assumed it was to chase the First and asked what Rigr thought he could do. Questioned what he thought could be done by staying, Urd announced he would uphold the laws of vampire society.

"I will uphold the laws... ...of vampire society."

- Making a vow in Romania, one that would be upheld since then.

Ignoring Rigr's comments on how he was willing to do that for thousands of years without any hope of reward, and how the First had abandoned vampire society, Urd raised how now Rigr would abandon them as well. Told that was not the case, Urd stated it was the same thing. Only the two of them remain in the world. Asked whether he would miss him, Urd responded if he said yes would Rigr stay. When the answer was no, Urd decided he would just have to kill him.

Grasping his sword, Urd stated the penalty for breaking their laws is death. When Rigr felt the vampire utopia they wanted to build was just an illusion Urd ordered silence and questioned who he was to decide it was mere illusion. Not answering who he was to decide it was real, after Rigr commented that their parent has left them, Urd asked whether he saw that as a reason to leave too. Upon hearing that he himself was staying and could protect everyone, Urd told Rigr to not dare. With Rigr saying he was sorry, Urd replied like hell he is and shouted that he refused to allow him to leave. Drawing his sword, Urd swung at Rigr. Detailing that he would cut off his arms and legs if he had to, Urd dictated that Rigr would stay.

Their clash destroyed rock structures as Urd continued to assail Rigr. Refusing to stop, Urd said Rigr would pay for this, and that he has never lost to him, not even once. Appearing surprised at Rigr darting to new positions, Urd had both his arms cut off mid-air and fell to the ground. As he lied bleeding from his wounds Urd absorbed that since he looked slightly pleased with himself when he would win, Rigr had liked that so held back every time, so had a realization that Rigr was pretending to lose in their previous battles. When Rigr added that he did not intend to hurt him, Urd paused before speaking, and again when Rigr said he was off. Urd voiced that he never cared if Rigr hurt him, but with him gone who is left that could leave a scratch on himself. With his parent, and now his brother gone Urd questioned what was left for him in this world, also what was he to do with this undying body of his.

"With my parent... ...and now my brother gone... what's left for me in this world? What am I to do with this undying body of mine?"

- After Sika Madu and then Rigr departing Urd had questions for the latter.

Finally, Urd added that if Rigr went he would hate him forever.

Post-Nagoya Arc
Urd is in Moscow, Russia sitting in the Bolshoi Theatre where he watches a ballet performed by humans. As Lest Karr enters and casually converses with Urd about his inclination for watching theatre, the second progenitor, dismissive of his question, asks him why he is in Russia. Stating that his territory is in Germany, Urd says for Lest Karr to return. Not replying to what he says about having nothing to do in Germany since his ruling is firm, Urd is also spoken to by Lest Karr on how Krul is not fairing as well in her rule over Japan.

Questioned if he had received the news yet, before Urd could hear the details about the events unfolding in Japan, another vampire bursts into the room. Informed that the humans in Japan have experimented on the Seraph of the End once again, hearing about the experiment, Urd wonders aloud what Krul was doing. When Lest casually remarks that Krul has many responsibilities and tries to imply that he himself would have fared better, Urd abruptly silences him. Urd is updated by the unnamed vampire that the Progenitor Council has opened for a meeting from Japan over the situation.

"...The Seraph of the End? What has Krul Tepes been doing?"

- Informed of activities across the world in Japan.

Along with Lest Karr he heads towards St. Basil's Cathedral; children are seen running around freely while wearing normal clothing, in stark contrast to the uniformed children in Japan. As Lest Karr notices this and comments that the humans are pleased, Urd is commended for even allowing his humans a level of culture. Praised for being a shining example for vampires by creating villages like these, Urd wonders if Lest Karr is being sarcastic.

Inside St. Basil's Cathedral, Urd calls for contact to Kyoto, Sanguinem with the other progenitors present on-screen. As the live feed loads for Kyoto, they are shocked by the sight of Krul Tepes, who appears beaten and bound to her throne. When Ferid Bathory pops up on the screen in a joyful, playful manner, Urd acknowledges his presence in exasperation. Apologized to by the seventh progenitor for the urgent call, Urd listens as another member of the council, Third Progenitor Nix Parthe expresses his outrage that Ferid - a non high-ranked progenitor - is calling them.

When Ferid is given the chance to reveal his message, Urd and the rest of the progenitors are alerted to the events that have occurred in Japan. Crowley Eusford, along with Chess Belle, and Horn Skuld speak up, so Urd tells them to get to the point. Urd learns of Krul's betrayal, specifically of her involvement with the humans' experimentation on the Seraph of the End. The Council expresses shock and disbelief at the news. As Ferid continues, Urd learns that the experiment has been completed and the seraph has been weaponized by the humans. Hearing Ferid speak how he and Crowley managed to subdue Krul and call her out as a traitor, risking their own lives in doing so, Urd and the other Progenitors hear that the vampires are now weak and powerless against the power the humans now possess.

Suddenly from outside, the humans invade Sanguinem and on-screen, they blow in the wall behind Ferid. Vampire guards Lacus Welt and René Simm run in on the meeting with the warning that the humans are coming to the palace and that Ferid must flee. The city clearly under heavy attack, Urd and the council members are asked for permission to flee Japan. After Ferid states he shall send them Krul too, Urd murmurs the country's name as a last word.

Osaka Arc
Urd and Lest Karr appear on a ship headed for Osaka Bay to meet with Ferid. Asked by Lest Karr if they will first retake Kyoto, Urd only mutters the country's name and wonders if "he" will be there. He and Lest Karr, with the company of other European vampires, soon arrive and are present when Ferid arrives via bus with Crowley and the Shinoa Squad.

Stood by as Lest Karr engages, Urd watches as he pushes Ferid's heart out of his chest, who has questions on Krul's whereabouts. Ordering Lest Karr to return it before Ferid transforms into a demon, after he drinks blood from Kimizuki, Urd asks who the humans are to hear that they are his toys.

Detecting the scent of blood, with Lest Karr noting its sudden disappearance a second later, realizing Krul's location, Urd rushes over to Ferid's mansion by himself. Crashing through the door, Urd instantly collides with Saitō there, who he calls Rigr Stafford. Commenting that Saitō has gotten slower, Urd cuts off his arm. Surprised by the chains attached to Saitō's arm, Urd pulls one out of his neck as curse marks begin to appear. Questioning Saitō about the chains, Urd learns that it is a curse made by the humans. Realizing that Saito is not a vampire anymore, Urd is asked how much longer he will continue to live as one.

After discussing how the First Progenitor abandoned them, Urd is ordered by Saitō to leave Japan with the reason it is to be his playground. Refusing the direction, Urd has Krul thrown into him as Saitō attempts to flee, where Lest Karr arrives. Urd yells for Lest to stop Saitō, but Lest is quickly cut in half by the latter. Deciding that chasing Saitō to be futile by now, Urd says for Lest Karr to not to blame himself for being unable to apprehend a second progenitor.

Returning to Osaka Bay holding Krul by the neck, Urd is followed by Lest Karr who is dragging Ferid by his hair. Ordering Lest Karr to silence Ferid's mocking pleas, Urd announces that both traitors have been captured. Without delay, Urd sentences Ferid and Krul to torture by exposure. Telling them both that they will be exposed to sunlight for ten days, Urd tasks Fifth Progenitor Ky Luc with overseeing their punishment.

Assuring Ky Luc that the pair will be restrained, Urd then states that if Saito is pulling the strings, the two will not know anything. Justifying the torture as punishment for letting humans invade Sanguinem, Urd then declares that he will go there to take control once more. Before doing so, Urd warns Krul and Ferid that upon his return in ten days, if they do not have an interesting story to tell, their sentence will be changed to eternal torment.

"You allowed Sanguinem to fall into human hands. Such gross incompetence must be punished. The rest of us will now go there and clean up the mess you allowed to happen. We will return in ten days. If you do not have a very interesting story to tell me then, your sentence will be transmuted from exposure to eternal torment."

- Sharing his directives to Ferid Bathory and Krul Tepes.

It is likely Urd would have learned from Ky Luc that Ferid had been rescued by the joint efforts of Guren and Shinoa squad, where Yu was partially active as a seraph. His reaction, if any, to his sentence being halted and his prisoner freed is unknown. In Kyoto, Urd along with Lest Karr and Ky Luc feel the presence of the First Progenitor. He says that they will be going to Tokyo.

Shibuya Arc
Transported all together on one helicopter amongst a squadron, Urd along with Lest Karr, with Krul and Ky Luc sense the awakening of the First once again. As the others talk, Urd orders silence, having detected a noise. Opening the door to their transport, Urd alone has heard and noticed the vast number of missiles coming straight for them. He coolly states that they are under attack and that the helicopters will crash. Calling upon his sword, Urd is able to hold onto the side of his helicopter and send streaks off his weapon to destroy multiple explosives.

Concluding that there are too many, Urd leaps from the aircraft before the missiles make contact and stabs into another nearby chopper to hold himself there. Surveying the fiery wreckage crashing downwards, Urd wonders aloud how many were allowed to die. If the missile attack was enough to end his companions, Urd wistfully remarks on how lucky death would be. He sees that the attack was not enough after all as Ky Luc joins him on the side of the helicopter. Disregarding Ky Luc's joy at having fun and not dying, Urd asks about the others. Being informed that Lest Karr had fallen and Krul's whereabouts were unknown, Urd wonders who ordered the assault.

A second round of missiles is incoming, and the remaining helicopters can only be abandoned. Urd effortlessly bounds across the missiles as he deduces that the First would not concern himself with them, and that it must have been Rigr behind the attack.

"The first would never bother to concern himself with us. The one who did this... ...must be you... Rigr."

- His aircraft blown out the sky, Urd has Saito in mind.

He thinks back to a time when Rigr was speaking to the First with Yu nearby. Landing on the ground, Urd contemplates that Rigr's efforts are wasted then affirms that the First would never bother himself to look at them, let alone respect them. Paying no heed to Lest Karr, who has survived and asked if he is all right, Urd suspects Rigr may be looking for an excuse to die.

Post-Shibuya Arc
Having found Saitō badly wounded and being attacked by Ferid in Shibuya, Urd joins them in the alleyway with Ky Luc and Lest Karr, and asks whether his brother wants help. Saying for Rigr to look at himself, Urd brings up his warnings against him turning Ferid into a vampire. Checking again if Rigr wants his help, it is accepted and Urd immediately assails Ferid and Crowley.

Bringing his sword down on Crowley's, he states that the lesser vampires have certainly had their fun. Sharing that he deliberately held back on his strike, Urd states he could easily slice both Crowley's sword and him in half. Instructing them to lay down their weapons and be detained, Urd offers them the chance to give up. Through this decision, their punishment for disrupting the order of vampire society will be decided by the Progenitor Council.

"Give up. Lay down your weapons and we shall detain you. Your punishment for disrupting the order of vampire society will be decided by the progenitor council."

- Offering Crowley and Ferid a chance to surrender.

The offer is declined, and Urd simply tells Ferid to die as his sword drinks his blood with winding, thorny vines. Cutting Ferid in half, Urd kicks both Crowley and Ferid's upper torso into the air.

Turning his attention to Saitō, Urd tells him that his games are over and is it time he did the job he should have done a millennium ago. Urd states that Saitō's punishment shall be decided later, as the execution of Ferid takes priority. He stands by as Lest Karr and Ky Luc concentrate on keeping Saitō weakened. Heeding Saitō's words on how Ferid - if taken lightly - can be frightening, Urd announces that he has no intention of going easy on him. A larger number of thorns appear to drink more of his blood as Urd condemns the entire city to destruction.

"Sword. Drink my blood. My enemy... ...No... ...This entire city must be destroyed."

- Deciding to destroy Ferid and the city of Shibuya.

Seeing a portal opened by Jigenso with Ferid emerging from it with a sinful key, Urd reacts instantly. In decapitating Ferid, he notices too late that the sinful key was being thrown to Crowley, who activates it behind the trio. The effects commencing, Urd shouts for his group to pull back. An ear-piercing sound resounds throughout the city, and Urd remarks that the voice is on a frequency only vampires can hear. With the sinful key's power negated, Urd asks what is happening this time and pays no mind to Crowley and Ferid fleeing the scene. .

It is mentioned by a group of vampires that Urd is the one who placed Saitō in a cage that he sits imprisoned in. On whether Urd is mad is discussed by Saitō with Lest Karr, where the latter comments that Urd has never been seen to grow emotional over anyone but Saitō. It is recollected how when he and Saitō lived in Romania, Urd intended to uphold the laws governing vampire society. He attempted to prevent Rigr from leaving before being defeated in a fight. Presently, when Saitō asks what Urd said, Lest Karr replies it was to not tell Saitō anything, not to speak with him at all in fact. According to Saitō, Urd knows why the First took the best third progenitors but left Lest Karr. While he does not hear it, everything that Urd values, Saitō vows to destroy.

Arriving to their location, Urd is carrying the Lieutenant General of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, Kureto Hīragi and Major General, Shinya Hīragi who lie still under his arms. With signs of a battle, Urd asks Lest Karr and Ky Luc what in the world are they doing. Hearing it was a disaster and that Lord Rigr got out of his cell, Urd interjects that no vampire can escape that prison, that is how he made it.

Determining what the situation is, Urd says for Rigr to stop messing with his subordinates. After Saitō reveals he never escaped, it was a spell tag based illusion, and remains in his unbroken prison, Urd approaches him. Seeing that he is as insufferable as always, Urd then answers Ky Luc's apology for what happened by saying Saitō is of a higher rank than him so he stood no chance. Questioned by Saitō why he is imprisoned, and is he going to slice him to bits, Urd answers if he refuses to tell him what he is up to it may come to that.

Hearing the reminder that he is getting revenge for the First betraying them, Urd adds and in doing so Saitō betrayed him. While Saitō does not mind being killed by him, Urd raises the likelihood that he came here to talk. If he had no business with him, Urd reasons that Saitō would not be here and would have had the cell opened. As Saitō speaks from the heart how he thought about him everyday, Urd cuts that off and presses him to answer his question. Asking what is, no, how far has Saitō's revenge plan advanced, Urd enquires is it going smoothly.

"Silence. Answer my question. What is your- No. How far has your revenge plan advanced? Is it going smoothly?"

- Broaching the topic of Saitō's plans for the First.

Then wondering whether Saitō invested this much time into his revenge, only for it to fail, Urd is invited to join him so they can kill the First. Appearing skeptical, Urd questions how Saitō plans to do that. Possessing hostages already, Urd turns to induce Lest Karr to check Kureto and Shinya, where the demons Raimei and Byakko are of interest for this matter.

Before Saito, who has a pentagram made up of chains above him, Urd questions what in the world is he starting with this. Urd does not comment on the prison, which was made to drain more power the older the vampire it holds. After Sika Madu has been located and attacked with chains, Urd shouts Saito's name as he is struck by a scythe. When Saito calls for support, Urd provides it and removes the scythe from his chest.

After his name is called by Sika Madu, and the First has been seized and captured, Urd waits beside Saito for him to awaken. Speaking how they have awaited his return, Urd addresses Sika Madu as father.

"We've awaited your return... ...Father."

- With Sika Madu in his prison, Urd is beside Saito when speaking to who he calls father.

Viewing the First chained in the prison he made, the line of conversation they would like to discuss involves the beginning of the world, to the reason Sika Madu abandoned them. With Saito and Lest Karr stood near him, Urd listens as the First asks about the number of keys they hold, to speaking how his plan tens of thousands of years in the making has been outdid by someone.

Akihabara Arc
Hearing Saito discuss with Shikama Doji on his plan to bring his son, Mikaela back to life, Urd listens as it is speculated that vampires like him were failures as vessels that were supposed to be strong enough to contain his soul. Hearing that the Emperor's Demons organization was founded by Shikama Doji, and the Hyakuya Sect by Saito, he speaks Rigr's name after he grasps the First by the throat on what are they to do with their eternal lives.

Where Saito feels he is still a part of the First's grand plan, and with Shikama Doji revealed to have blue blood, Urd makes no comment on these developments. Although the First professes they have a mutual interest, after Saito stabs him through the neck with a chain, Urd is affected by Shikama Doji's telepathy. As the First communicates that vampires cannot die, rather they become demons with no will of their own, Urd covers his ears where the voice has a detrimental effect.

Spell tags from Saito nullify Shikama Doji's brainwashing spell, and Urd observes them drifting around him. With the First's goal thought to involve bringing Mikaela back, where it is speculated that seraphs would punish the resurrection attempt, Urd is asked by Saito whether now in fact they should uphold the vow to maintain world order for eternity. Since the world has been destroyed quite enough, there is the consensus to not let the seraphs come and punish it further.

Learning that the price for resurrection is seven sinful keys, and the lives of every last vampire leaves Urd appearing shocked. After Saito reacts to Shikama Doji's words that they ought to be bored of living right now and skewers him with chains, Urd listens to what he calls his selfish request.

Questioning when has Saito not made selfish demands of them, Urd hears the idea that they cannot trust Shikama Doji's words. As something could happen to the world, and with Saito stating they need to stop Mikaela's resurrection where he will also search for a way for them to finally die, Urd regards the offer. Affirming that Saito need not do it alone, Urd places his hand on Saito's after saying that they will protect world order together.

"You needn't do it alone. We'll protect world order together."

- Accepting Saito's plan to not trust the First's words, prevent Mikaela from being resurrected, and stabilize the world.

Urd's hand is joined by Lest Karr's and Ky Luc's. Transported in the back of a truck of which Shikama Doji has been nailed to the floor, Urd sits with Lest Karr nearby.

Natural abilities
As not only one of the only two second progenitor, with strength greater than that of fellow second progenitor Rigr Stafford, having constantly defeated him in spars and only losing their last one in the past due to being reckless, but also the current leader of the Progenitor Council, Urd is the second strongest vampire in existence, the only vampire surpassing his strength being Sika Madu himself, and the strongest vampire active. His highest rank in the council makes him significantly stronger than those of lower rank, including the likes of third progenitors Krul Tepes and Lest Karr. He's displayed feats far surpassing Lest's own abilities (such as fighting on-par with Saito with his modifications, who effectively bisected the latter in an instant) and was able to effortlessly restrain Krul. He is even stronger than the other second progenitor to a certain extent, having always defeated him in the past, though neither of them were taking it seriously and their last fight ended in his defeat due to his emotion getting the better of him and Saito revealing he was holding back catching him by surprise. Even with his modifications, Urd still proved able to effectively handle Rigr, with Rigr opting to flee rather than continue the battle and admitting he is afraid of Urd's interference, Urd being confident he would be capable of killing him. Urd was also fully capable of killing Ferid Bathory and Crowley Eusford, effortlessly pressuring them while greatly holding back.

Urd displays a keener sense of smell than any other vampire, being able to pinpoint Krul's location from a mere cut far sooner than Lest Karr. He has a superior sense of hearing, as he was the first and only member in the helicopters to discern Saitō's attack. Upon the 6th Trumpet's defeat, he was able to immediately notice the shift in "color" of the world, showing that his senses are so powerful and advanced that he could easily sense the global change caused by the Seraph's defeat, despite being miles underground in Sanguinem. He is also completely unaffected by the illusion spell cast that managed to trick even the likes of Lest and Luc, showing his incredible senses can even perceive distorted reality with ease.

His speed and agility is stupendous enough to cover great distances and perform high jumps to a great extent with ease, as shown when he effortlessly reached Ferid's mansion within mere moments, and effortlessly dodged in-between missiles mid-air. His strength is also tremendous, simply clashing with Saito causing a crater, and able to effortlessly overpower vampires on the level of third and seventh progenitors with a single hand, as shown when he nonchalantly dragged Krul with one hand despite Krul's active resistance and while greatly holding back, casually pressured Ferid and Crowley in a sword lock, being able to easily cut them and their sword in half if he wished to. His far superior constitution is also shown by how whereas Lest and Luc were overwhelmed by the intensity of Mika's dead wail, Urd only expressed minor irritation.

Urd displays great swordsmanship abilities with his first class vampire sword, able to skilfully attack Saitō using swift slashes and cuts, managing to slice off his arm, and deflecting most of the chains fired by said amputated arm, along with stating he's always defeated Rigr in a sword fight. He is also shown to be fairly pragmatic, as after sensing something odd inside the chain he was stabbed in the neck with, he quickly composed himself and pulled it out.

As a noble vampire, he has the ability and permission to turn humans into vampires. Urd has shown himself to be a remarkably intelligent and knowledgeable individual, with centuries worth of experience. He is an exceptional leader, commanding the entire Progenitor Council and able to instantly command respect from even the arrogant Lest Karr and Ky Luc, Lest even commenting that Urd's leadership was considered to be a model for other vampire lords. He seems to possess a noteworthy scientific and magical acumen, as he was able to successfully craft a prison capable of binding any vampire no matter how powerful and designed to restrain them more the older and stronger they are, specifically made to imprison Saitō.

Equipment
A first-class vampire sword is wielded with one hand. Swinging the blade can cast off ranged strikes that can cut into the metal of explosives and cause them to detonate. With Urd's strength he seems confident that his sword can break another vampire noble's weapon. Many thorned vines can emerge from the weapon to draw upon Urd's blood to power the weapon further.
