[Source]. The eldest of all living namekians, Grand Elder Guru reigns supremely with a gentle hand over his homeworld of Namek. Despite having incredibly strong ki and talent using it, he is incredibly peaceful, preferring to talk to his enemies. As Grand Elder, he is the current empowerer of the Namekian Dragon Balls. During the Frieza Force's invasion of Planet Namek, he would die of natural causes, ruining the emperor's chance at immortality and passing the mantle of Grand Elder to his son, Tsuno.
