Kurt Ludwell

Kurt Ludwell (クルト・ルードウェル) is the champion of the previous Demon Sword Tournament and a member of the Lognorth Demon Sword Association, a famous royalist organization.

Appearance
Kurt is described as a long-haired man with delicate features. He has lilac hair and purple eyes.

Personality
As with the other royals, Kurt appears to have the same level of arrogance towards mixed-blood demons.

History
Under twenty years old, Kurt defeated Madra and won the Demon Sword Tournament three decades ago, earning the title of Dilhade's strongest swordsman. During the entire tournament, he didn't receive a single scratch.

Demon Sword Tournament Arc
After waiting patiently for Anos to show up, Kurt praised him for not running away. When the battle began, he immediately used his secret technique Aquafang Rapid Strike but Anos easily dodged it. Kurt became surprised when Anos blocked his demon sword with an ordinary sword, forcing him to put more power into Eisias to no avail. He later tried to use his hidden art but fell flat on his face as Eisias broke into many pieces. Anos had slashed him many times before he could even react. In exactly one minute, Kurt lost the tournament during the first round with the destruction of his sword and was completely humiliated with all of Dilhade watching.

Abilities

 * Swordsmanship: Due to winning the previous Demon Sword Tournament, Kurt can be considered one of the best swordsmen of the Magical Age. According to Anos, Kurt is probably more skilled than Gaios, one of the Seven Demon Elders. Though his skills and power are nowhere near as formidable as swordsmen from the Mythical Age, such as Lay Grandsley or Shin Reglia.

Equipment

 * Demon Sword of Water Eisias

Elio Ludwell
His father and one of the Demon Lords. When last-minute rules were implanted to prevent Anos from empowering his ordinary iron sword, Kurt was impressed by his father's power.

Emilia Ludwell
What Kurt thinks of her is unknown, but she greatly admires her brother. When he lost against Anos, Emilia took it upon herself to get Anos disqualified for what she perceives as sullying her brother's nobility. She was willing to go as far as to hurt her own students and attempt to murder Anos' mother.

Anos Voldigoad
Kurt looked down on Anos for being a mixed-blood demon and for bringing an ordinary sword, but he became dumbfounded when Anos could keep up with him and even overwhelm him with relative ease.
