Chervil (チャービル, Chābiru), is a Makyan native to the Crimson Fingers. Born with an unusually high power level, he quickly rose in the ranks, taking over the remaining Makyan presence on Earth in Age 758. Thereafter, the only Makyans who were not loyal to his cause (or forced to serve him) were the Dragons of the Dawn. He and his tribe had a deal in place with the New Red Ribbon Army where they would not prey upon too many natives and tourists from the Crimson Fingers so long as the army supplied them with a handful of prisoners every month. Nhobusa used this to cultivate a relationship with Chervil, ultimately setting him against Ledas when Ledas visited the Crimson Fingers in Age 776 to visit Ryori's maternal grandparents. Chervil is the main villain of Monkeyboy's First Vacation.

Overview[]

Appearance[]

Like most Makyans, Chervil is blue-skinned. He has red eyes and sports medium-length white hair in a mohawk. He wears light fur armor and is the only member of his crew who doesn't wear a helmet. He is a tall, burly warrior. His height likely had some psychological influence on those who took him as their king.

Personality[]

Chervil is a hot-headed, impudent man. He doesn't respect humans, seeing them as little more than livestock to be butchered at will. He is highly aggressive and arrogant, believing no warrior is stronger than him. He commands an imposing presence, one that keeps his crew in lock-step with his plans. Anyone who goes against him is killed, oftentimes in slow, agonizing ways to dissuade others from doing the same. He considers Nhobusa and the New Red Ribbon Army to be little more than slaves he can boss around to collect humans for him to eat, showing he has an inclination toward laziness. Even after Ledas breaks his arm in chapter 2 of Monkeyboy's First Vacation, he believes he's stronger than the boy, showing his arrogance borders on delusion. Perhaps his strength is all he has and he cannot accept a reality where anyone could ever beat him, for that would destroy the image he's built for himself in his head. His ability to conceal ki implies he's cunning and skilled, though not to the extent he thinks he is.

History[]

Monkeyboy's First Vacation[]

In the third scene of chapter 1, on June 7, Age 776, Nhobusa, Vestigia, and Zeshmedinokov were monitoring the camera feeds at the Kedarake Observatory in Asazari (an island in the Crimson Fingers) when Chervil and his gang of Makyans arrived. Nhobusa reminded his soldiers that Chervil and his ilk were not their enemies and to not do anything rash. Chervil entered with a retinue of warriors, asking Nhobusa why he had been summoned. Nhobusa informed him that Ledas would soon be coming to the Crimson Fingers. He told Chervil that until Zesh finished the updated ki-restraining device, he'd have to face Ledas.

Chervil was unconcerned, believing himself superior to the boy. He demanded six times as many human prisoners for his tribe to feast on for the month, requiring some of them to be natives, not just tourists. Nhobusa promised him what he wished, saying that agents Morucan and Tresparson would meet Chervil at the island of Umihebiza tomorrow with the first batch. Chervil swore he'd kill Ledas. Nhobusa didn't want him to attack the boy as soon as he arrived, preferring that they ambushed him a few days into the trip to lull him into a false sense of security. The groups said their goodbyes, the Makyans leaving almost as swiftly as they had come.

In the sixth scene of chapter 2, on June 11, Age 776, Mr. Ohano, Mrs. Ohano, Shoekki, Ryori, Jia, and Ledas visited the Sepiche ruins in Raskintown. They explored the town, visiting the depleted iridium mine, the marketplace, and the docks before coming to the Sepiche ruins. Mr. Ohano had a grand old time playing the tour guide, telling them all about the sculptures and how they got there, not to mention why the Sepiche had gone extinct (allegedly).

Without warning, Chervil and his skinchangers appeared, Chervil kicking Ledas into a Sepiche statue. He swore he'd get revenge for Ledas killing Tarrago. The pedestrians in the immediate area fled in terror. Chervil attacked Ledas, who retaliated with grim focus, shattering one of his arms and sending him into a tree. He told everyone to stay back, promising he had everything under control. Not wasting time (for his friends and lover were threatened), Ledas hunted down Chervil's retinue, killing every one of them with a singular blow. Chervil tried to shoot an energy blast at them, but Ledas rushed him, squeezing his wrist, forcing the ki to shoot into the sky. Battering him, Ledas threw him into a tree. Boasting stupidly, the Makyan limped away, shooting a ki blast into the ground to mask his escape.

In the first scene of chapter 3, on June 12, Age 776, Nhobusa, Vestigia, and Zeshmedinokov met with Chervil and a host of his minions. Chervil wanted to know why Nhobusa had summoned him. Nhobusa admitted that after his fight with Ledas in the Sepiche ruins, they needed to change strategies, or they'd lose badly. Chervil swore it had been an unlucky break, promising to kill Ledas in their next encounter. Nhobusa was concerned about his broken arm (Chervil claimed it was sprained).

Nhobusa informed him Zesh's ki-restraining device was almost complete. Once applied to the boy, Chervil would have no problem defeating him. He outlined their plan to abduct Ledas after he drunkenly partied at the Kurenai Natsumatsuri festival (if Rambutala needed to goad him to drink, he'd be there to do so). Afterward, they'd bring him to Kedarake where Chervil could have his way with the boy.

Chervil didn't understand why Nhobusa wouldn't kill the boy himself, but Nhobusa said that they couldn't be sure due to his durable skin and inhuman reflexes, which the ki-restraining device would not be able to limit. He told Chervil about their contingency plan to use a repurposed intercontinental ballistic missile to shoot him into the sun should all other paths prove fruitless. Chervil didn't want to hear it. He would end Ledas' life. Nhobusa told him to be back later that night. They'd have Ledas ready for him. He would give Chervil's gang a load of prisoners as a reward if they did this for him. Satisfied, Chervil whistled to his crew and they departed in a blur of light.

In the second scene of chapter 4, on June 13 Age 776, Nhobusa ordered Zesh to wake Jia and Ledas. Zesh injected them with a serum to remove the sedatives from their systems. They stirred, growing confused when they got their bearings straight. Ledas didn't know where he was. Nhobusa told him that didn't matter, as he'd be dead soon. He told him the New Red Ribbon Army did not forget what he had done to them. Ledas would pay for those he'd killed.

When the boy got to his feet, Zesh turned on the ki-restraining device, sending an electrical charge through his body. He fell to his knees, crying in pain as his own ki was used against him. Jia called him a monster. Nhobusa sarcastically welcomed her back to the realm of the living. She reminded him King Furry had ordered them to stand down against Ledas, but Nhobusa wasn't having it. He didn't take orders from Furry and would soon overthrow him if things went according to plan.

He ordered Rambutala to record Jia's meltdown so they could watch it later while sipping champagne. He told Jia she had been naive to fall to their simple trick in the Ohano house. Her betrayal would have karmic repercussions. Ledas didn't understand how she knew these men. Jia admitted they were colleagues. Nhobusa clarified that she was a member of the New Red Ribbon Army. Their main goal since Age 774 had been finding a way to kill Ledas. She had known about it the whole time. Nhobusa tried to turn Ledas against her, but he wasn't having it, saying he trusted Jia completely and wouldn't fall for their crap.

Nhobusa admitted that after Cardinal had died, he had become the New Red Ribbon Army's leader. Jia reported directly to him. Ledas was startled to hear of Cardinal's demise. Rambu found it hilarious Jia hadn't told him about it. Nhobusa questioned why Jia hadn't told Ledas about the plan to kidnap him that night, as she had known about it beforehand. He wasn't swayed, saying he'd talk with her about it after killing them. Nhobusa wasn't concerned, thinking Ledas couldn't harm them with Zesh's ki-restraining device impairing him.

Zesh increased the device's power, causing an electrical field to form around Ledas, frying his body with his own energy. He fell to the ground screaming. Jia begged them to stop hurting him. Nhobusa reminded her that they were getting revenge for Ledas killing Cardinal, Oscalpano, Dewberry, Kindler, Morucan, Tresparson, and all the rest. There would be no peace, no reconciliation. Jia didn't understand why they were torturing Ledas instead of just shooting him or throwing him into the ocean, but Nhobusa dismissed her concerns, stating there was only one way they could kill him for certain (as the ki-restraining device didn't remove Ledas' muscles, reaction time, and general durability).

He whistled. A moment later, Chervil and a host of his elite soldiers two dozen strong entered the room. Nhobusa shook Chervil's hand while Jia gawked at him. Nhobusa gave the order for the Makyan to kill the boy. Chervil was most eager to oblige, for he was avenging those of his people Ledas had killed. Nhobusa implored Jia to watch as Rambutala tossed her away from the action. Chervil's minions formed a circle around him and Ledas. Ledas rose to his feet despite the pain he was feeling, facing his opponent with tenacious resolve. Ledas told Chervil he had no hope of beating him, which the Makyan laughed off as childish hubris.

Chervil elbowed him, beginning their cataclysmic fight. Ledas retaliated with an uppercut (much of the room was destroyed in the process). The pair exchanged blows, leveling severe hits upon one another without letting up. Nhobusa was surprised Ledas could keep up with Chervil even with the ki-restraining device operating at nearly maximum power. Neither one had much defense. They took a lot of hits. The telescope was destroyed during their clash, which made Nhobusa wince. He knew that'd require a lot of zeni to replace.

Because of Chervil's broken hand, he had to work extra hard to hit and parry, and it wasn't long before his stamina was running low. As time wore on, Ledas got the better of the exchanges, landing blow after decisive blow against his opponent. It wasn't long before Chervil was running on fumes. He approached the Saiyan after taking a bad hit, goading him. Ledas didn't answer, instead throwing himself at the Makyan once more. They rose into the air, exchanging blows at a rate Nhobusa couldn't comprehend. What he could see confirmed his worst fear—Ledas had more stamina, more power, more discipline, and probably more experience. He was slowly wearing away at the King of the Demons. He realized Ledas would've destroyed Chervil had the ki-restraining device not been active.

Having had enough, Chervil fired an icy blast of ki from his mouth at Ledas, who didn't attempt to block it. The attack rolled over him, encasing him in a frosty prison, freezing him solid. Chervil took a victory lap to the applause of his crew. Jia became hysterical. The other demons praised Chervil's cunning. Chervil said Ledas hadn't known who he was dealing with, causing him to pay the ultimate price.

As if on cue, the floor rumbled, the air grew hot, and Ledas burst from his icy tomb with an echoing scream. Furiously, he called Chervil a cheap shot artist and a coward, demanding he fight him for real. Chervil wasn't one to take orders. He powered up his Freezing Breath again. Ledas charged him down, mirroring his previous action.

However, when Chervil unleashed his attack, Ledas back-flipped, rising to the air, and created a pearlescent half-bubble of energy to deflect the attack. He shot a kiai through the bubble to angle the attack right back at Chervil, entombing him in ice. Without remorse, Ledas smashed Chervil across the face with a spinning back heel, shattering his head and killing him.
