Masrur

Masrur (マスルール, Masurūru) is the adviser to Sinbad and one of the Eight Generals of Sindria. Masrur is a Fanalis, and Morgiana's fighting instructor.

Appearance
Masrur is a tall muscular man with red hair and eyes. He has a piercing on his lower lip and carries a sword that he is not so proficient at using. He usually wears gold armor covering his chest with a sash around his waist and nothing on his arms and legs. He has a metal bracelet on each wrist and leg.

Personality
Masrur is a silent and unsociable person. He tends to not speak unless spoken to, making him seem very unfriendly, or sometimes he makes snarky remarks. He, however, is very caring about his comrades and seems to greatly respect Sinbad. Being from the same clan, he holds a soft spot for Morgiana and cares for her like an older brother. When she was brutally beaten by the Al-Thamen, Masrur became enraged and activated his Household Vessel, Balalark Kauza, to defeat one of them.

History
He once was a Slave and Gladiator in the Reim Colosseum that tried to kill Sinbad, but failed and became his subordinate. Sinbad mentioned how he saw the look of a warrior in Masrur's eyes when they first met.

During Masur's teen years, he traveled to the Dark Continent and saw the big sun on the vast land, the animals and plants which were several times bigger than anywhere else, and smelled its unforgettable scent.

Balbadd Arc
Masrur and Jafar are at a hotel, waiting for Sinbad to return. Sinbad returns with Aladdin and Morgiana. Sinbad explains the situation to him and Jafar. Jafar offers to pay for Aladdin and Morgiana's room. As they walk to their respective rooms, Masrur and Morgiana. Sinbad says that they are both Fanalis. Jafar asks Sinbad if he got all his luggage stolen again, to which he answers yes. Jafar asks if everything got stolen, to which he also answers yes. Jafar asks Sinbad, when will he become aware that he was born to be "King". Then, he calls him King Sinbad. Sinbad tells Jafar not to expose that.

Masrur is in the meeting with Sinbad and the Kings of Balbadd, Ahbmad Saluja and Sahbmad Saluja. The meeting is about why Balbadd has broken off trade with Sindria. They hear about the Fog Troupe from the kings. During the meeting, Masrur and Jafar say nothing. Sinbad declares that he will, by himself, will destroy the Fog Troupe.

Masrur is at lunch with Jafar, Sinbad, Aladdin and Morgiana. Sinbad formally introduces his Masrur and Jafar. Sinbad tells Morgiana that Masrur is also a "Fanalis". Aladdin introduces himself and summons Ugo. Sinbad is surprised that Aladdin is also a Magi. Aladdin asks if he knows another Magi which he answers yes. Since Aladdin is a Magi, Sinbad chooses to reveal himself as King Sinbad. The person who conquered of 7 Dungeons. The master of 7 Djinn and the High King of the Seas. Aladdin asks about what a Magi is, and Sinbad answers him. Sinbad asks Aladdin to lend them his power in capturing the Fog Troupe.

Jafar protests this, saying Aladdin is just a kid. Sinbad says that age doesn't matter, but what matters is the capability of facing the Fog Troupe. Aladdin asks Morgiana what to do. She says if they managed to solve this problem, they could borrow the country's resources to aid them in their search for Alibaba Saluja. Sinbad says that she is different from Masrur, as Masrur resolves everything with brute force. Sinabd offers to aid Morgiana to the Continent of Darkness. He then tells her to leave this matter to the men and to wait at the hotel. Morgiana stomps her foot on the ground, breaking it. She says she wants to fight to. Aladdin backs her up, with the story of their way to Balbadd.

Sinbad says that the Fanalis sure are strong. He is next seen helping out Sinbad stop the Fog Troupe on their side. They however only met with starving citizens and after Masrur blew out the fog, Sinbad let them in a residents house. Later he is present when Sinbad is listening in on Alibaba's story and when the fog troupe attacks their room he defends against incoming arrows by lifting a very heavy marble table. On the roof he wipes out half of the fog troupe with one attack. After wards he is next seen when Judar attacks he tries to attack Judar but is block with his Borg. He states that he couldn't use his household vessel. When black rukh was taking over Balbadd he is seen with Jafar keeping the people from fighting. He is next seen attacking Banker knocking him down to let Jafar attack him to let Sinbad finish him off.

Sindria Arc
Masrur is training with Morgiana, 6 months after the events in Balbadd. They sense Sinbad's return to Sindria and decide to go and greet him. Then, all of them go to see Aladdin and Alibaba. Weeks later, he is seen sitting with Yamraiha, Sharrkan, and Pisti, chatting, until Sinbad calls out Yamraiha. Afterwards, he talks with Morgiana as they get news that Sindria is under attack from one of the Southern Creatures. He stands alongside the rest of the Eight Generals and watches as Sharrkan defeats it. Then, he sees the commotion Sharrkan and Yamraiha are doing. He stands behind Morgiana when she says that she is happy that she has him with her. He has no expression when Sinbad mentions Mahrajan Festival to his guests.

When the festival begins, Masrur takes a toast with such Eight Generals as Jafar, Drakon, Hinahoho and Sharrkan, but also with Sinbad and Alibaba. Later, he notices Morgiana alone. He gives her food and points the table she can eat. Sharrkan comments that he's sure that Masrur has quite lewd thoughts about her as he trains with her every day. He answers that Sharrkan is wrong and to not group him with people of Sharrkan's kind. This annoys Sharrkan, who starts bullying Masrur until Jafar comes and stops him. After that, he is once again introduced to Morgiana, Alibaba, and Aladdin by Sinbad, who mentions that despite being the gladiator in the Reim Empire and wielding a sword, Masrur is not suitable to become Alibaba's master. He is also present when Sinbad announces that the Kou Empire's prince, Hakuryuu Ren, will be coming to Sindria.

During the commotion Kougyoku made, he has always the same expression and stays silent almost the whole time. However, like the rest of the Eight Generals, he is doubting his King and doesn't believe in his innocence. When Yamraiha shows what happened through Sharrar Rakesa, at one point he covers Morgiana's eyes so she wouldn't see supposed adult scene.

After some time, Sinbad summons Masrur, Yamraiha, and Sharrkan and asks them about their disciples' conditions. Both Sharrkan and Yamraiha quickly reports, so Sinbad asks Masrur about Morgiana. He replies that she's been strong since the beginning, but she hasn't activated her Household Vessel yet. He brings up how the Household Vessel's activations works and mentions that until she fights with Alibaba in a real battle, her struggles may be useless. Sinbad decides to send them to capture a Dungeon.

Zagan Arc
Masrur is sent, with Sharrkan and Yamraiha, to help Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana and Hakuryuu, in case they were attacked by members of Al-Thamen. He saves Morgiana from being killed by Zurmudd. When Alibaba apologizes, they reassure him that they did a good job with capturing Zagan and to leave the rest to them. Sharrkan asks Masrur if it's okay to defeat them together. However, when Zurmudd enrages Masrur by saying that they will end up like Morgiana, he throws him angrily.

He fights with Zurmudd's Alf Al Yatsudo, and, to amazement of his opponent, is able to dodge all attacks. He kills him with a bare hand enhanced with electricity from his Household Vessel, Balalark Kauza. After that, Masrur can't move his body and have no choice but to leave others to his companions.

When Apollonius and Byoln are defeated, he listen to Sharrkan's talk with Alibaba about how his disciple could lose against such opponent. He directly says that his friend also was injured, which annoys Sharrkan who hits Masrur in response, without thinking about his wound.

Second Sindria Arc
After Sinbad and Alibaba are cursed by Ithnan, Masrur is in the room, along with the rest of the Eight Generals, staying close to Hinahoho, Drakon and Jafar. When Sinbad says he's alright when he mentions only caring about Alibaba's curse, he doesn't seem surprised but stays silent. After the whole problem is solved, he sits during the meeting with Sinbad and the rest of his Generals, listening to the results of the last dungeon diving and to what Sinbad has to say.

Later, he trains with Morgiana martial arts. When he defeats her without any problems, he asks her what's wrong and reminds her that she wanted to train this way because the toll her Household Vessel takes on her is too great. She apologizes and asks him what kind of place the Dark Continent is. He seems confused, so she continues saying that he said that he's been there before. He tells her what he remembers from that, while Morgiana listens, blushing. He says that she should go there once while pointing this place and adds that it's near. He quickly tells her that it's probably not what she anticipates. He himself wanted to see it as much as she wants, but there was no Fanalis there. He isn't sure whether they were made into slaves or migrated, but apologizes to Morgiana for not telling her about this earlier, because he thought she would be disappointed. While stretching, he says that this made rid of his longing. Masrur then advices Morgiana to go there at least once instead of regretting it later.

On the day of Morgiana, Aladdin, Alibaba and Hakuryuu's departure, he talks with Morgiana. He warns her before slave hunters in the Reim Empire. He bids farewell the group with an expressionless face.

Household Vessel
Balalark Kauza (Vajra Armor)
 * Masrur's Household Vessel. Masrur rarely uses his Household Vessel because after the activation, the toll on the muscles that had to sustain the burden is great. He only used it in the past when it was necessary or when driven by his own fury. This allows him to bypass the usual limit of a human's muscles, giving him near impossible-strength. Since he is also a Fanalis this enhances his already incredible strength.
