Ming Jol-ik

Ming Jol-ik (マサドルデイーゴ, Masadoru Deīgo) is the former Supreme Leader of the Republic of East Gorteau.

Chimera Ant arc


A figurehead rules in his place, whereas the actual Ming Jol-ik is in retirement. The figurehead is first seen being entertained by dancers at the palace. Then he meets Meruem and his Royal Guards during the king's siege on the palace. He called for his soldiers but they were already killed by the Chimera Ant King. His lack of intelligence and talent made Meruem annoyed with the human ways. The figurehead was killed afterwards by Meruem. Neferpitou used her Nen abilities to keep his corpse from rotting and used him to make public announcements for Meruem. The main use of his body was to help keep the population unsuspicious until they gather for "The Selection".

At the conclusion of the Chimera Ant Crisis, it's revealed that the real Ming Jol-ik has been in retirement for 30 years.
