Naberius Kalego (ナベリウス・カレゴ, Naberiusu Karego), is one of the most prestigious professors at Babyls Demon School, known for his strict, disciplined teaching methods and elite magical abilities. He serves as the homeroom teacher of the Abnormal Class, which includes Iruma Suzuki and his classmates, making him a central figure in their academic and combat training.
Despite his high-ranking status and no-nonsense attitude, Kalego finds himself in an ironic and humiliating predicament due to Iruma’s human status and an unexpected contract mishap, he becomes Iruma’s familiar, taking the form of a small, adorable Cerberus-like creature whenever summoned. While completely unaware of Iruma’s human identity, Kalego is deeply irritated by their connection, making their interactions a mix of comedic frustration and reluctant mentorship.
Background

Appearance in anime
Kalego hails from the prestigious Naberius family, a renowned noble demon lineage known for its discipline, power, and strict adherence to hierarchy. From a young age, Kalego was trained to excel in magic and combat, eventually becoming a highly respected professor at Babyls, where he is feared and respected by students and faculty alike. His unwavering dedication to discipline and excellence makes him a formidable figure, shaping students into capable demons under his rigorous instruction.
During his years as a student at Babyls, Kalego was classmates with Balam Shichiro and Opera, forming a notable trio of future elite demons. While he maintains professionalism in his role, his history with Opera often leads to humorous moments, as he finds himself outmatched in their personal interactions.
His biggest personal frustration stems from his accidental contract with Iruma, which forces him to serve as Iruma’s familiar whenever summoned. Though he despises the situation, he reluctantly plays along, unaware of the deeper implications of Iruma’s existence.
Appearance
Kalego is tall, lean, and sharp-featured, exuding an aura of strict authority and discipline. He has pale skin, dark purple eyes, and jet-black hair slicked back neatly, reinforcing his intimidating and composed demeanor. His usual attire consists of the Babyls faculty uniform, which includes a dark purple high-collared coat with gold trim, signifying his elite status as a professor.
When summoned as Iruma’s familiar, Kalego undergoes a drastic and comedic transformation, appearing as a small, chibi-like Cerberus with fluffy fur, round eyes, and tiny horns. Despite his adorable appearance, he maintains his grumpy and annoyed personality, frequently growling and protesting against Iruma’s casual treatment of him.
Personality
Kalego is strict, disciplined, and highly professional, taking his role as a teacher very seriously. He demands excellence from his students, showing little tolerance for laziness or incompetence. Due to his rigid mindset, he is often perceived as cold and unapproachable, earning a reputation as one of the toughest instructors at Babyls. However, his harsh teaching methods stem from a genuine belief in discipline, as he aims to push his students to reach their full potential.
Despite his serious demeanor, Kalego has a deeply sarcastic and dry sense of humor, often delivering biting remarks with a deadpan expression. His interactions with Iruma are especially comedic, as he finds himself constantly frustrated by Iruma’s antics, yet is unable to outright punish him due to their contract. Though he resents being Iruma’s familiar, he begrudgingly fulfills his duties, showing a reluctant sense of responsibility toward his students, even if he refuses to admit it.
While he seems detached and ruthless, Kalego does care for his students in his own strict way, offering guidance and discipline when necessary. He is a firm believer in personal strength and merit, respecting those who prove their abilities, even if he rarely openly acknowledges their growth.
