Appearance

Age shows on Umit, an elderly man with spotted, sagging skin beneath his eyes. Long black hair flows down alongside a beard and a curled mustache, and he tops his head with a wide bicorne fronted by an anchor and trailing three feathers off its left side. A brown coat sits over a frilled white shirt, paired with a yellow scarf and creased trousers.

Personality

Umit carries himself with a constant gravity, a sober demeanor that sets him apart from the delight and revelry his fellow Underworld emperors openly indulge in.

Abilities

His standing as an Underworld emperor grants Umit genuine clout, enough that Big Mom counted him worthy of an invitation to her tea parties. At the head of Umit Shipping he commands the entire company and its workforce. His influence stretches into legitimate channels too: Vegapunk tapped his fleet to haul supplies during Egghead's building, signaling that despite his shady ties he holds enough trust with the Marines to carry their cargo. Fifteen years earlier he rode the cultural wave surrounding Elbaph, selling off a handful of the island's cedar trees at one port. He attended Big Mom's tea party for the wedding of Charlotte Pudding and Sanji, presented his gift, and reacted with shock to the chaos Luffy and a disguised Brook caused. When the Tamatebako detonated and toppled the Whole Cake Chateau, Umit fell along with the collapsing castle.
