Halibel

Halibel (ハリベル) is a citizen of Kararagi and the neighbor of Natsuki Subaru and Rem in Re: IF.

He hasn't made an official debut in the main series, however, he does play key roles in two of the five IF stories released so far. He's known throughout the world as one of the three people who're said to be on par with Sword Saint, in terms of overall martial skill, with the other two being the Empire's Blue Lightning and the Holy Kingdom's Mad Prince.

Appearance
Halibel is a wolf human with with relatively long black fur clad in a disheveled black kimono with worn-down purple accents. His eyes are most of the time narrowed into two sits and coupled with him usually biting on his golden kiseru with his animal teeth, he's more often that not giving off quite a laid-back appearance. He's very tall, towering over Subaru like a black statue covered in fur. Beatrice only managed to come up to his waist.

Personality
Halibel has a casual behavior and likes the taste of liquor and free alcohol. As Natsuki Subaru and Rem's neighbour, he remains positive towards them and often calls Subaru "Su-San". He is also the first acquaintance Subaru and Rem made at Banan. Although he shows total respect towards others, he can be a bit too serious when talking about his race, since his species are rare and on the verge of extinction, often mentioning that he is feeling like carrying the pride of his kind.

Abilities
Great Power: Halibel is mentioned to come close to Reinhard's level of martial skill, hence it's safe to assume he's incredibly strong.

Curses: Halibel is an expert in curses. By mixing his own fur and nails into his weapons, he is able to curse people through mere scratches.

Shinobi: As a Shinobi, Halibel is able to create clones that are able to act independently, which looks similar to Melakuera's cloning ability. He can also use the body replacement technique.

Trivia

 * The only reason he keeps the kiseru with him is because he needed to smoke a special herb to keep himself alive.
 * The author had stated in the release of Rem:IF that Halibel most likely won't ever appear in the main story outside of the IF stories.
 * Despite being among the three characters who're said to be on par with Reinhard in terms of martial skill, when the two faced off in Oboreru IF, Reinhard did not draw the Dragon Sword Reid against him.
