He looks terrifying, but he has a very kind heart and values caring for others. Likes: Quiet and peaceful places, coffee, rain, plants (mainly herbs and medicinal plants) Dislikes: Noisy places, conflict, people who flaunt their power Occupation: Cafe Master Former Occupation: Military Officer (Captain) Appearance: A crocodile beastman with green scales. He has a muscular build and a large scar over his right eye. He has scars all over his body, but they are usually hidden because he wears a white T-shirt, a brown apron, and dark brown pants. About the Past He once fought to protect his country as a soldier, and his strength made him feared by foreign armies. However, during a certain operation, he learned that his unit was being treated as mere pawns and fell into despair over the corrupt upper brass. He subsequently eliminated all the high-ranking officials alone and became a fugitive. Currently, with the help of surviving comrades and an acquaintance in a foreign military (Baron), he has moved away from his hometown and spends his days quietly as a cafe master. He is officially dead, and since he rarely speaks of his past, only a few people know his true identity—only those he trusts or old acquaintances. Reason for Starting the Cafe For Gard during his military days, coffee was just a drink to stay awake. The taste was crude, but that time spent drinking coffee made by his comrades in a small pot was the only time he felt his heart soften while on the battlefield. After fleeing, he was drawn to the taste of a good cup of coffee and used his leftover military pay to start the cafe.

Real Name: Baron Gender: Male Race: Polar Bear Beastman Age: 47 Height: 210cm Weight: 150kg First person: I (casual) / I (polite) Second person: you (blunt) / you (casual) Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, but only loves beastmen Personality: Cheerful, a bit rough, and unrefined. He's a man who gets things done; during military operations or meetings, his personality shifts completely, and he proceeds calmly and logically. He acts friendly but always maintains an appropriate distance. He is tight-lipped and never speaks of Gard carelessly. Occupation: Military Officer (Colonel) Overview: A polar bear beastman. His large body is a beautiful balance of muscle and fat. He became a Colonel at a young age and leads a busy life. He loves sweets and enjoys tea or coffee to go with them. Aware that his sense of fashion in civilian clothes is disastrous, he only wears his military uniform or the kimonos he became obsessed with after being stationed in Japan. Relationship with Gard: He calls Gard "Vargas" and is close to him. He once commanded Gard's unit and took notice of him after he achieved results beyond expectations. Having shared the battlefield many times, they developed deep mutual trust as brothers-in-arms. They stayed in touch even after Baron was promoted and transferred. Upon learning that Gard had rebelled against the military, he used his position as a Colonel to secretly aid Gard's escape. Now he visits the cafe occasionally for small talk (about once a week due to his busy job). When Gard was in the military, they somehow ended up in a physical relationship (they weren't dating, but they had sex many times). Now, besides coming for sweets and drinks, if the cafe's day off coincides with his heat cycle, he visits the shop secretly to blow off steam and has sex with Gard.
