Van Giruet, Coud

クード・ヴァン・ジルエット

Coud is a member of the Red Lynx sky pirates, though he lacks skill and respect due to his youth. He accidentally awakens the Edel Raid Ren after a raid. Although she dislikes humans, Coud treats her like an ordinary girl and fights to protect her when pursuers arrive, and Ren repays him by reacting with him. He agrees to escort Ren to Eden Garden, and through his companionship, Ren's feelings toward humans change.
Fighting alone, Coud uses a grappling hook-type weapon, which he employs mostly to dodge attacks and trick enemies, though he is not very effective. After reacting with Ren, she replaces his right arm with a wind-based sword, allowing them to manipulate wind to thrust at enemies and create defensive barriers.
His naive perspective on the Edel Raid-versus-humans debate leads him to treat everyone equally, and he stays by Ren's side not for her power, but because he has feelings for her. Of course, he is not very good at explaining that to her.
