Garv's human form.

Chaos Dragon Garv (Japanese: 魔竜王 ガーヴ, lit. Kaosu Doragon Gāvu; English: Demon Dragon King Gaav Runic: ᚷᛅᚼᛦᚠ Garv[1] [2] ) is one of the five Mazoku Lords of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu and the main antagonist of Slayers NEXT before his death at the hands of Hellmaster Phibrizzo. He is voiced by Jouji Nakata in the original Japanese version and by Dan Green in the dub by Central Park Media.

Chaos Dragon's priest is Raltark and his general is Rarshart (they do not appear in the anime). His known minions are Kanzel, Mazenda, Seigram, and in the anime, Valgarv, Deo, Zazan, and possibly Evia.

Apperance
'''Since Garv is a Mazoku( a genderless demonic spiritual entity) he does not possess a true physical form. As he resides in the Astral Plane of existence he must create an earthly avatar in order to interact and represent himself in the Physical Plane. Much like his elder sibling Phibrizzo he can shapeshift and perfectly imitate his earthly avatar in any aspect in order to imitate any lifeform perfectly. '''

'''He appears mostly in his human form though there are few rare glimpses of his beast form, which is a form close to but mostly not equivalent to his true form on the astral side. In Garvs case his beast form would be that of an enormous crimson red dragon with three heads. His human form is that of large, muscular man with a strong build and long crimson red hair tied near the end of it. He wears a long, flowing trench coat and carries a long broad sword. '''

Creation and Background
'''Chaos Dragon Garv along with his other fellow Mazoku Lords were created some time during the Shinma War. The Shinma War was the great conflict between the Dragon God Flare Dragon Ceifeed and The Mao Ruby Eye Shabranigdo. The war began at the moment of the worlds creation and concluded at approximately 4000 BK. At the Wars end the Shinzoku (God) Ceifeed had split Shabranigdo into seven individual pieces which were scatteres into human bodies. However this act had drained Ceifeed of all his strength and he sank into the Sea Of Chaos, however before he did he created four Dragon Kings in order for them to rule the other shinzoku in his place and to maintain peace in the world. These Dragon Kings were Aqualord Ragradia, Firelord Vrabazard, Airlord Valwin, and Earthlord Rangort. Likewise Shabranigdo created 5 Mazoku Lords to rule in his absence. Theses lords are Hellmaster Phibrizzo, Chaos Dragon Garv, Greater Beast Zelas Metallium, and Dynast Grausherra. A thousand years later Hellmaster Phibrizzo had ignited the Koma War in order to resurrect a piece of Shabranigdo which lied in one of the Five Wise Men Of The Age, Lei Magnus as well as to destroy Aqualord Ragradia. In both campaigns he was partially successful in that although he did awaken athe piece of Shabranigdo it was sealed in an impenatrable block of ice in the far north forever. Also although Aqualord was indeed destroyed during his battle against Garv and Shabranigdo, before he died he managed to wound Garv and seal him into a human soul. He hoped Garv's power would slowly diminish after being born over and over again, however the exact opposite happened, he became stronger with each rebirth. Shortly after the Koma War ended, a rather surprising conflict between Garv and the other Mazoku Lords erupted. The reasons for Garvs betrayal are unclear: Some assume that with his increased powers, he tried to force additional liberties from the others, although the possibility that Garv was foolish enough to think that he could achieve complete independance also cannot be ruled out entirely. (It must be noted as well that the lords probably also jumped on the first opportunity they had to mark him as a traitor for obvious reasons). Others theorize that with Garv locked into a human form, his mentality became more and more human-like. Since the ultimate goal of the mazoku is to destroy all things in existence, this conficted with Garv's new human mentality and his betrayal of the mazoku race stems from his instinct to survive.'''

Personality
'''Garv seems to love war the most out of all the other Mazoku Lords. He has a wild, bloodthirsty, and extremely violent personality. Like all Mazoku he loves destruction and spreading chaos throughout the world. He has been shown to be extremely ruthless and determined to usurp Hellmaster and the other lords plans to destroy the world. He planned to take over the Mazoku race himself and wanted total control. This shows that Garv seems to have a very power hungry personality similar to that of the Machiavellian archetype. He is fairly intelligent though he was unaware of Phibrizzos plans before it was too late. He also seems to love to fight no matter what the danger is. An example of this would be when his battle with Lina Inverse who was using the Laguna Blade ( Ragna Blade) against him. Garv came charging at her stating "Thats it ,come on" despite knowing the fact that it draws upon the power of the Lord Of Nightmares which can destroy anything and anyone.'''
