Bone Man (骨人) is an Undead pawn who considers himself to be Vandalieu's First Knight. Created when rat spirits of the forest near Evbejia were placed into a skeleton.[2]
Bone Man is a running gag, himself ranking up many times, but his appearance does not change from being a mob-like human skeleton undead.[3][4][5]
Appearance[]
Bone Man has the appearance of a human skeleton, with nothing out of the ordinary regarding its structure.[6][7][4]
In the Manga, Bone Man wears black gloves; a ragged red mantle, bow quiver belted around his ribs underneath it; black boots and a black belt with cloth at the front, faulds at the side and his sword sheath.[?]
Personality[]

He possesses a loyal personality with a chivalrous sense.[2] Otherwise he's a running gag in the series. His self-awareness is still that of a rat, and he considers Vandalieu's Monsters that have been turned from rats to be his juniors.[8]
Summary[]
- Main article: Biography of Bone Man
Vandalieu transplanted additional spirits into him in Talosheim, giving him the ability to have conversations like a normal person.[2]
He considers himself to be Vandalieu’s First Knight, possessing a chivalrous sense that causes him to feel a fiery rivalry with Ammonites.
He is not good with cats, but Vandalieu has ordered him not to kill or harm them without reason, so he does not lay a hand on them.
As of the end of chapter 51, he is a Rank 5 Skeleton Baron. The bones making up his body are Earth Dragon bones reshaped to be like human bones, so he is harder than he appears.
His Rank has increased for him to become a Viscount, and his appearance now sets him apart from normal Skeletons. His presence is so impressive that if Vandalieu would be overshadowed if he stood next to Bone Man.
He has recently acquired the Mount-skill, fitting for a knight, but riding Knochen seems like it would cause Bone Man to become incorporated into Knochen, so he is unable to make use of it.
That is why he is requesting Vandalieu to create a Dragon Zombie or a Bone Dragon, but as it is more effective to turn these into materials for equipment to be distributed to everyone rather than creating a single creature that would take time to grow strong, this has been postponed.
But as victory was achieved in the defense of Talosheim, Vandalieu has decided to turn the next hunted Dragon into a Bone Dragon… though he is now facing the harsh reality of the world as Dragons have stopped appearing.
Because of this, he is currently using a Bone Tyrannosaurus as a mount.
When mounted, Bone Man’s strength in battle is equivalent to multiple C-class adventurers.
It was thought that ‘Emperor’ would come after ‘Duke,’ but he refrained from acquiring this race title because of Vandalieu.
Ten years ago, Vandalieu created him for the purpose of going to look for Darcia because she hadn’t come home. Thus, like Knochen, he is overjoyed about Darcia’s resurrection.
It has been one of Bone Man’s deepest wishes to see Darcia resurrected and returned to Vandalieu’s side.
Now that this wish is coming true, he is focused on becoming stronger so that he can defeat enemies to protect his master and his master’s mother. However, he has encountered a developmental wall and become frustrated.
He is currently leveling up and keeping an eye on Darcia while spending his spare time cleaning the moss off the scales of his beloved mount that he left behind, the Dragon Zombie Leo.
