Maou

魔王

She is the main female protagonist and the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm. Shortly after the Demon Queen and the Hero join forces, she travels to the Human Realm, disguising herself as a human noblewoman known as the Crimson Scholar (紅の学士 Kurenai no Gakushi?). She shares a portion of her vast knowledge with Human society to help improve their civilization.
The Crimson Scholar becomes famous in the Human World not only for her feats but also for her beauty. The church views her with distrust, branding her a heretic despite her growing influence, fearing it would weaken their control over the countries she has helped. To ensure a temporary ceasefire between Humans and Demons, the Demon Queen spreads rumors that her battle with the Hero indeed took place, resulting in his disappearance and leaving her body severely wounded. This leads her servants to the false belief that she will be unable to command them until her recuperation is complete.
