List of Overlord (novel series) characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The floor guardians, with the exceptions of Ainz and Sebas, as they appear in the first light novel. From left to right: Demiurge, Mare, Shalltear, Albedo, Ainz, Sebas, Aura, and Cocytus.

This is a list of characters appearing in the novel series Overlord, written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by so-bin, and its anime and manga adaptations.

Great Tomb of Nazarick[edit]

The guild headquarters of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown in YGGDRASIL. After Nazarick was transported to the New World with its custom NPCs, who became sentient, Ainz began taking action to protect the tomb. However, the NPCs believed he was planning world domination and subsequently began making their own plans. By the time Ainz realized their intentions it was too late and he had no choice but to play along. This eventually led to Nazarick becoming its own nation: the Sorcerer Kingdom.

Ainz Ooal Gown (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン, Ainzu Ūru Goun) / Momonga (モモンガ)
Voiced by: Satoshi Hino (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Chris Guerrero (English)
The protagonist/main character and the only remaining member of the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. Originally he was a simple salaryman named Satoru Suzuki (鈴木悟, Suzuki Satoru)[1] playing a VR online game, but after he was transported to the New World, he decides to make himself a legend in hopes of finding his old guildmates. To facilitate his search, he changes his name from Momonga to Ainz Ooal Gown. While Ainz initially accidentally set Nazarick on a course for world domination after a comment he made was misinterpreted, he slowly grows into his role as a leader after deciding to create a kingdom where humans and non-humans are equal. As he has the form of a lich, he doesn't need to eat or sleep, can't be poisoned or killed by conventional means, along with his emotions and empathy being suppressed, Ainz remembers having a "heart" and thus keeps his humanity in practice. Because of his formerly high level in YGGDRASIL, he can easily overpower even the strongest of magic casters in the New World; and while he lacks the skills of natural warriors, he compensates for it with raw strength. Over time, he has learned how to improve in fighting with physical weapons, but his greatest asset remains his strength. Ainz also has access to a wide variety of instant death and summoning spells which, though ineffective against fellow players, work very well against the inhabitants of the New World. He also has an array of items he purchased with real money back in YGGDRASIL, which give him abilities ranging from summoning extremely high-level items (most of which belong to his guildmates) from the Guild's bank to instantly cast a spell that usually has a long casting time. When Ainz travels incognito as an adventurer, he uses the alias Momon the Dark Hero.

Floor Guardians[edit]

A group of NPCs who act as bosses for each floor of Nazarick. Upon coming to the New World and becoming sentient, they gained great influence over Nazarick's affairs. They are among the most powerful beings in Nazarick, with some even exceeding Ainz in terms of pure stats. Their personalities and quirks are from the settings and background stories that were programmed into them by their creators.

Albedo (アルベド, Arubedo)
Voiced by: Yumi Hara (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Elizabeth Maxwell (English)
A succubus and the overseer of the Floor Guardians. She takes the form of a beautiful woman with black wings and horns wearing a white dress. Her beautiful and kind appearance hides her dark personality underneath. She was originally set to be a bitch, but Ainz modified her to be deeply in love with him as a joke, as one of his very last acts before YGGDRASIL's server shutdown. As a result, upon coming to the New World, she became madly in love with him. To her great shame as a succubus, Albedo is a virgin; humorously she wishes to sleep with Ainz despite the fact it's impossible. She despises humans, viewing them as "lower lifeforms". She similarly harbors a secret hatred towards the other members of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild for leaving Ainz. While in battle, she wears a three-layered full-plated suit of armor called Hermes Trismegistus, which repels any physical damage, and fights using a bardiche named 3F. She also possesses the World Item Ginnungagap, which can be used to devastate large areas.
Shalltear Bloodfallen (シャルティア・ブラッドフォールン, Sharutia Buraddofōren)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Felecia Angelle (English)
The Guardian of the First, Second, and Third floors of Nazarick. She takes on the form of a beautiful vampire girl. She is set to be somewhat of a pervert and a necrophile, causing her to fall for Ainz and putting her at odds with Albedo. She is the most powerful Floor Guardian in terms of overall stats, optimized for both melee and magic combat. Due to an incident where she was brainwashed by the Slane Theocracy, she unintentionally rebelled against Nazarick until she was killed by Ainz and later resurrected. Afterward, she ended up blaming herself for her actions, even though she had no control of it; despite her poison resistance, she spent time trying to get drunk. While she has since recovered somewhat, she maintains a constant sense of uncertainty and caution, while also belittling herself.
Aura Bella Fiora (アウラ・ベラ・フィオーラ, Aura Bera Fiōra)
Voiced by: Emiri Katō (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Jill Harris (English)
One of the Guardians of the Sixth floor of Nazarick, alongside her twin brother Mare. She takes on the form of a young Dark Elf who cross-dresses as a boy. She is also very energetic and extroverted, in contrast to her brother. Despite constantly bickering, she is very close to Shalltear, unintentionally mimicking the relationship between their creators. She fights with a whip and bow and can summon beasts to fight by her side. Ainz treats her and her brother as if they were his own children.
Mare Bello Fiore (マーレ・ベロ・フィオーレ, Māre Bero Fiōre)
Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Megan Shipman (English)
One of the Guardians of the Sixth floor of Nazarick alongside his twin sister Aura. He takes on the form of a young Dark Elf who cross-dresses as a girl; though he has no idea what a cross-dresser is. He is also rather shy and calm (although, it is heavily implied, that he is actually just acting) in comparison to his sister, causing him to be constantly ordered around by her. Despite this, however, he can fight and be ruthless when necessary. He specializes in Druid magic, capable of twisting the earth to his whims. Ainz often treats him and his sister as if they were his own children.
Demiurge (デミウルゴス, Demiurugosu)
Voiced by: Masayuki Katō (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Jeff Johnson (English)
The Guardian of the seventh floor of Nazarick as well as the one in charge of its defenses. He takes on the form of a demon dressed in a business suit with glasses and a tail. Demiurge uses verbal to control the actions of others he perceives as being poor-mannered. He is among the most intelligent and evil NPCs of Nazarick, willing to commit unspeakable atrocities to further his goals. While getting along fine with the other Guardians, his relationship with Sebas is more strained due to their opposing natures which were inherited from the guild members who created the two, who were also often at odds. Demiurge constantly believes his schemes were already wished by Ainz, whom he believes only reveals small portions of his true plans to appease the other Guardians' curiosity; Ainz constantly tricks Demiurge into revealing his plan. To the population of the New World he is known as Jaldabaoth (ヤルダバオト, Yarudabaoto), an alternate identity that he assumed to further his goals without drawing suspicion.
Cocytus (コキュートス, Kokyūtosu)
Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Bryan Massey (English)
The Guardian of the Fifth Floor of Nazarick. He takes on the form of a huge, four-armed, humanoid insect with the power of cryokinesis. He also possesses multiple swords, spears, halberds and other kinds of armaments. He has a warrior personality, which makes him very noble, and respects anyone with a strong fighting spirit. He is in charge of the security of Nazarick and later becomes responsible for the Lizardmen tribes that Ainz had him conquer. Among his fellow Guardians, he is closest to Demiurge, who he sees as a rival and a friend.
Victim (ヴィクティム, Vuikutimu)
Voiced by: Nao Tōyama (Japanese); Marla Acevedo (English)
The Guardian of the Eight Floor of Nazarick. It holds the appearance of a 1-meter-long, pink fetus, with a halo and stick-like wings. It speaks the Enochian language. It is Nazarick's last line of defense, with its only ability being a self-destruct skill. Despite this, however, it is humble and modest about its function, believing its sole purpose is to serve the members of the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown.
Gargantua (ガルガンチュア, Garuganchua)
The Guardian of the Fourth Floor. It is a stone golem with a height of over 30m. Unlike the other Floor Guardians, it is not a custom NPC but an in-game bonus won by the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. As a result, it was not granted any personality or free will upon coming to the New World. Due to its unique nature, it is noted to be the strongest Floor Guardian, but due to its inability to react on its own, its strength falls considerably.

Area Guardians[edit]

NPCs that serve as mini-bosses for a specific portion of a floor. Some of them serve as subordinates to the Floor Guardians, while others act outside the chain of command.

Pandora's Actor (パンドラズ・アクター, Pandorazu Akutā)
Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Eric Vale (English)
The Area Guardian of Nazarick's Treasury, created by Ainz himself. He is a doppelgänger with an egghead with three holes as a face and is dressed in a military officer's uniform. He can also assume the appearance and abilities of every member of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild. Because of this, Ainz occasionally calls on him as a stand-in when situations require both Ainz and Momon to be active at the same time. Despite being an Area Guardian, his abilities rival a Floor Guardian. Because Ainz created him while going through a chuunibyou phase, he programmed him to act with exaggerated gestures and body language, which now greatly embarrasses him. Despite not getting to spend much time together, he and Ainz share a strong bond, with the latter secretly allowing the former to call him "father".
Nigredo (ニグレド, Niguredo)
Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese); Trina Nishimura (English)
The Area Guardian of the Frozen Prison on Nazarick's fifth floor and Albedo's older sister, being created by the same creator. She specializes in information gathering. While she bears some similarities to Albedo, her face has no skin, resulting in a twisted appearance. Her mind is similarly broken, unless a baby doll is given to her. However, while she has said doll, is actually one of the few NPCs of Nazarick that is genuinely kind-hearted. Despite being polar opposites in appearance and personality, she and Albedo generally get along just fine.
Rubedo (ルベド, Rubedo)
Nazarick's hidden super boss and the Younger sister of Albedo and Nigredo, being created by the same creator. She is the strongest NPC in Nazarick who can overwhelm Ainz and even Touch Me with full equipment. Not much is known about her, but Albedo loves her while Nigredo fears her. Ainz is initially cautious of her because she could turn against them someday but was reassured by Albedo that she is just as loyal as the other NPCs in Nazarick.

Pleiades[edit]

A group of NPCs dressed as maids, with the exception of Sebas who looks like a butler. They serve as Nazarick's last line of defense before the final floor. Despite each member, with the exception of Sebas and Aureole, being weak by Nazarick's standards, their strength is equivalent to legendary monsters in the New World. Despite their appearance, however, they are actually terrible at being maids, being more so seen as a sort of idol group by Nazarick's denizens.

Sebas Tian (セバス・チャン, Sebasu Chan)
Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Ed Blaylock (season 1), Bill Jenkins (season 2-4) (English)
The head butler of Nazarick and overseer of the Pleiades. Despite not being a Floor Guardian, his abilities rival theirs, specializing in unarmed combat. He takes on the form of an elderly gentleman with a neat beard. Unlike the other NPCs, he doesn't hate outsiders and actually has a strong sense of justice, like his creator. Because of this, he has a habit of saving those in need, often bringing him in conflict with other NPCs and, on occasion, calling his loyalty to Ainz into question. He especially doesn't get along with Demiurge. In the Isekai Quartet crossover series, he is portrayed as a school staff member.
Yuri Alpha (ユリ・アルファ, Yuri Arufa)
Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Whitney Rodgers (English)
The Vice-Captain, but the de facto leader of the Pleiades. She is a Dullahan who uses a choker to keep her head attached to the rest of her body, causing her to appear to be human. She specializes in unarmed combat and uses Gauntlets in battle. She is programmed to behave like a teacher because her creator was one, and the other Pleiades look up to her like a big sister. She holds a neutral stance towards humans, not disliking them but not helping them out either. She is also in charge of the orphanage built within the Sorcerer Kingdom to house the children who had been abandoned, sold or who had lost their parents during the war against the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Lupusregina Beta (ルプスレギナ・ベータ, Rupusuregina Bēta)
Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Alexis Tipton (English)
One of the Pleiades. She's a werewolf in human form and serves as the group's healer. In public, she is a sociable and friendly person who likes to make lewd jokes. However, in reality, she is a psychopath who enjoys using her healing abilities to slowly torture others to death. She is later assigned by Ainz to protect Carne Village. She is the only known NPC to get Ainz angry for not doing her job properly.
Narberal Gamma (ナーベラル・ガンマ, Nāberaru Ganma)
Voiced by: Manami Numakura (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Anastasia Muñoz (English)
One of the Pleiades. She is a Doppelgänger. However, because all her levels went into her combat abilities, she is permanently in human form. Instead, she is the strongest of the Pleiades, being a magic caster that specializes in lightning spells. She serves as Ainz's companion while under his "Momon" identity, going by the alias Nabe (ナーベ, Nābe). However, she despises and looks down on humans, which often causes trouble for him. While as an adventurer, she was given the nickname "The Beautiful Princess" due to her appearance. Many men proposed to her but most people think she is either Momon's lover or servant. Some members of the Pleiades are jealous of her due to the closeness she has with Ainz during her adventuring days with him.
CZ2128 Delta (シズ・デルタ, Shizu Deruta)
Voiced by: Asami Seto (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Michelle Rojas (English)
One of the Pleiades. She's an automaton who fights using guns and war knives and widely favors long-range combat. While silent and emotionless, she holds no particular dislike towards humans. She is the only one who knows how to unlock the doors of Nazarick, both secret and public.
Solution Epsilon (ソリュシャン・イプシロン, Soryushan Ipushiron)
Voiced by: Ayane Sakura (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Mallorie Rodak (English)
One of the Pleiades. She is a Slime that takes on a human form. She is an assassin and can absorb people and objects into her body to be stored or devoured. Being a Slime, she preys on humans and generally despises and looks down on them.

Voiced by: Kei Shindo (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Tia Ballard (English)
One of the Pleiades. She is an Insectoid who disguises herself as a human by wearing a mask and changing her voice. She is an entomancer, being able to summon fellow Insectoids. Being an Insectoid, she preys on humans when hungry, but otherwise doesn't consider them worth her attention. She harbors a grudge towards Evileye from the Adventurer Group Blue Roses, who defeated and humiliated her. Her wish is to get revenge on Evileye by killing her and eating her then finally take her voice as payback for destroying hers. She is called the "Predator of Family" because she eats Kyouhukou's family sometimes as a snack, making him greatly afraid of her.
Aureole Omega (オーレオール・オメガ, Ōreōru Omega)
The secret seventh member of the Pleiades as well as the group's true leader and the Area Guardian of the region known as the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary. She is a human and the only true human in Nazarick. Due to her dual positions, she is unable to lead the group most of the time, causing Yuri Alpha to serve as the leader in her stead. She is in charge of Nazarick's Teleportation Gates and the only human NPC in the tomb. Ainz seems to trust her a great deal, entrusting her with the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown whenever he leaves Nazarick.

Five Worst[edit]

An unofficial group composed of the five most disgusting NPCs of Nazarick. Each member has something that is considered "the worst".

Kyouhukou (恐怖公, きょうふこう, Kyōfukou)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (anime) (Japanese); John Swasey (English)
The Area Guardian of a region known as the "Black Capsule", which is filled with carnivorous cockroaches, and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Residence". He has the appearance of a 30cm tall Cockroach that walks on its hind legs and wears a small crown as well as a cloak with a small scepter, giving the impression that he is the king of cockroaches.

The Area Guardian of a region known as the "Large Hole" and a member of Five Worst, holding the title of "Worst Appearance". It is a parasitic creature, using humans as a "House".

Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (anime) (Japanese); Aaron Dismuke (English)
Nazarick's investigator/torturer and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Occupation". She is a visibly hideous creature who speaks in a seductive and teasing tone that loses any appeal due to her similarly hideous voice. She also holds affection for Ainz, causing him to avoid her.
Chacmool (チャックモール, Chakkumōru)
Nazarick's musical instructor and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Personality". He views humans as food or toys and requested Ainz for it and commands several Greater Doppelgängers.

Voiced by: Satomi Arai (Japanese); Jamie Marchi (English)
The Head-Maid of Nazarick. She has the body of a human but the head of a Shetland Sheepdog with a vertical scar on her face running down the center of her face. She harbors no dislike towards humans and is even willing to rescue them from her fellow NPCs' cruelty. Unlike most of the 9th-floor inhabitants, she has actual abilities, specializing in healing and resurrection magic, though the latter requires gold coins, jewelry, and/or other valuable goods as a cost.
Eclair Ecleir Eicler (エクレア・エクレール・エイクレアー, Ekurea Ekurēru Eikureā)
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese); Kyle Phillips (English)
The assistant butler of Nazarick under Sebas. He takes on the form of a rockhopper penguin that faintly resembles a bulter. He has been programmed to have a superiority complex and a desire to take over Nazarick as a gag by his creator. However, he does not want to overthrow Ainz, instead deluding himself into believing that he will simply be promoted to the position if he works hard. Nazarick's other inhabitants are fully aware of his ambitions, as he constantly brags about it, but they do not care as they know that it is only part of his settings and he poses no threat, with their opinions on him ranging from silent ridicule to annoyance.
Clavu (クラヴゥ, Kuravū)
Voiced by: Takuya Satō (Japanese); John Burgmeier (English)
Nicknamed Sous-Chef. He is a mushroom man dressed as a barkeep who runs a bar on Nazarick's 9th floor.

Touch Me (たっち・みー, Tatchi Mī)
An honorable and just man, who recruited Momonga into the original Nine's Own Goal; he is also the creator of Sebas. It's his doctrine "Helping others is just common sense" that helps Ainz keep a scrap of humanity as an undead.

Creator of Demiurge. He was known for his love of the macabre; with his twisted thinking reflected in Demiurge's own artistry. Much like how Demiurge and Sebas argue over what to do, Ulbert did so with Touch Me; albeit because Touch was more practical.

Bukubukuchagama (ぶくぶく茶釜, Bukubuku Chagama)

Nazarick's Allies[edit]

Hamsuke (ハムスケ, Hamusuke)
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Heather Walker (English)
A giant female Hamster with a snake-like tail that lived in the forest near Carne Village. She was thought to be the strongest beast among the forest denizens. While publicly known as "The Wise King of the Forest", she's actually more-or-less a dense idiot, though she is capable of human speech. Upon learning about her, Momon (Ainz' Adventurer persona) seeks her out to increase his fame. Upon finding her, however, he is extremely disappointed, not understanding what others see in her, and proceeds to easily defeat her. He then promptly tames her and names her "Hamsuke". She then joins Ainz's adventurer group as his registered beast and totally devotes herself to him. While initially arrogant due to being strong by the New World's standards, upon meeting Nazarick's NPCs, she realizes her weakness and devotes herself to becoming stronger. Some of her dialogue sounds similar to Yoda.
Tuareninya "Tuare" Veyron (ツアレニーニャ・ベイロン, Tsuarenīnya Beiron)
Voiced by: Yū Shimamura (Japanese); Rachel Glass (English)
Nazarick's newest apprentice-maid under Sebas Tian's supervision. She was a slave of Eight Fingers until Sebas found and saved her while on a mission. He nursed her back to health and she slowly opened up to him, eventually even developing a crush on him. However, this brought Sebas' loyalty to Ainz into question, and they were both forced to appear before him. Learning about Ainz didn't change her feelings towards Sebas however, as she was willing to let him kill her to prove his loyalty. Luckily, this was merely a test, and her life was spared. She was then revealed that be the older sister of Ninya Berion, whom Ainz felt indebted, causing him to take her under his protection. As of now, she remains unaware of her younger sister's passing.

Carne Village[edit]

A small village located at the Re-Estize Kingdom's eastern border, close to where Nazarick resides. The villagers became loyal to Ainz after he saved them from an attack by the Slane Theocracy. As a result, they sided with Nazarick when it went to war with the Re-Estize Kingdom and later became part of the newly founded nation. The village has since started to take in other races including Goblins, Ogres, and Dwarves.

Enri Emmot (エンリ・エモット, Enri Emotto)
Voiced by: M·A·O (anime) (Japanese); Skyler McIntosh (English)
A girl from the Carne Village who was saved by Ainz from soldiers of the Sunlight Scripture. Ainz gives her 2 Goblin-Summoning Horns that she would eventually use to protect her village. Enri shares a close bond with her childhood friend, and lover after the events of the 8th light novel, Nfirea. She and all the other villagers admire and respect Ainz for saving them from Nigun, and willingly leave the Kingdom when the crown prince attempt to force them into joining the fight against Ainz in the 9th novel. Carne Village becomes part of Ainz' territory once he wins the war. It is revealed in the 11th light novel that she and Nfirea have gotten married and moved into their own house. All Goblins she summoned regard her as "General Enri" and are more than willing to attack anything that they think threatening her safety, even entity as strong as Lupusregina. Stronger than her own husband both in physique and sexual vigor, it's implied by Ainz's monologue in the 10th novel, that she often asks her husband for sex, so much so that it forces him to create some sort of Viagra substance to satisfy her.
Nemu Emmot (ネム・エモット, Nemu Emotto)
Voiced by: Marika Kōno (anime) (Japanese); Jeannie Tirado (English)
A girl from the Carne Village and Enri's younger sister who was saved by Ainz from soldiers of the Sunlight Scripture. When Enri and Nfirea are invited to Nazarick for dinner she joins them. She is amazed by Ainz's wealth and the beauty of Nazarick, which amuses Ainz greatly and he personally shows her most of the tomb. Ainz adds her name to the list of Carne people that Lupusregina must protect even at the cost of her own life afterward. It's revealed in the 11th light novel that she moved in with Lizzie after her sister got married.

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (anime) (Japanese); Morgan Berry (English)
A famous pharmacist in the city E-Rantel. He is the grandson of Lizzie Bareare and the childhood friend of Enri Emmot. He has an innate talent of being able to use any magic item. Nfirea harbors romantic feelings for Enri, which eventually come to fruition. He manages to create a Purple potion, out of materials from Nazarick and the new world, which works better than the blue potion but still less than YGGDRASIL's Red Potion. Ainz is pleased with this step forward but hopes that he can at least make this kind of potion out of materials from the New World. Nfirea is also one of the only residents in the New World that knows Momon's true identity as Ainz. It is revealed in the 11th light novel, that Nfirea and Enri have gotten married and are living in their own house.
Brita (ブリタ, Burita)
Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (anime) (Japanese); Katherine Bourne (English)

Brita first encountered "Momon" (Ainz's alias as an adventurer) when he accidentally destroyed her potion in a tavern. Ainz decides to give her a special red potion to make up for her loss. This potion ends up saving her life during Shalltear's rampage since it made the vampire interrogate her instead of just killing her. She quits being an adventurer after encountering Shalltear and moves to Carne Village, where she ends up assisting the people. She also joins the Villagers in fighting against the Kingdom and for Ainz in the 9th Novel.
Lizzie Bareare (リィジー・バレアレ, Ryijī Bareare)
Voiced by: Ikuko Tani (anime) (Japanese); Juli Erickson (English)
Nfirea's grandmother, is considered the best pharmacist in E-Rantel. Lizzie's most notable traits are that she is often demanding and fastidious.

She and Nfirea are then later sent to Carne Village where they are told to create a Red Potion from Yggdrasil.

Lizardmen[edit]

A demi-human species that have shared human and reptilian characteristics. They live in a tribal-like society with five known tribes: Green Claw, Red eye, Dragon Tusk, Razor Tail, and Small Fang. Nazarick attempted to massacre them to solidify their control over the region. However, the Floor Guardian overseeing the operation, Cocytus, developed respect for them, causing Ainz to subjugate them instead. After being resurrected by Ainz and witnessing the amazing and impossible feats of power and magic, they made a statue of Ainz and started worshipping him as a god.

Voiced by: Katsumi Chou (Japanese); Philip Weber (English)
The former King of the Re-Estize Kingdom. He was an elderly man who truly cares for his people and struggles to keep his nation united amidst political infighting and invasions by other countries. He also appears to struggle to balance his duties as a king and a father. However, he ultimately proved himself an ineffective ruler and was overthrown by his second son, Zanac, amidst the Kingdom's second conflict with Nazarick before later being killed by his daughter, Renner, during her defection to Nazarick.

Voiced by: Kouji Fujiyoshi (Japanese); Cris George (English)
The Second Prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Despite being the second son, he desires the throne for himself, sparking a rivalry with his older brother, Crown Prince Barbro. While publicly seen as incompetent, he is actually quite intelligent and surrounds himself with powerful allies, like Marquis Raeven. He becomes the new crown prince after his brother is killed during the Kingdom's first conflict with Nazarick and later takes up the role of king regent during the second, after overthrowing his father after deeming him to be inadequate to handle the situation. Unfortunately, he is ultimately assassinated by traitorous nobles who then attempted to surrender to Nazarick by offering his decapitated head as a peace offering, which landed on deaf ears.

Often referred to as "Marquis Raeven"; he is one of the highest ranked nobles in the Re-Estize Kingdom. While his public image is that of an opportunist who uses the Kingdom's political infighting to advance his own agenda, he is actually a patriot who uses his influence to prevent the situation from escalating into a civil war. He retired from politics after being traumatized by the events of the Massacre of the Katze Plains. He is later blackmailed by Albedo into assisting Nazarick's war against the Kingdom.

To make matters worse, talks with the villagers turned violent after he lost his temper and threatened them, resulting in him being driven off by the village's demi-human inhabitants. Afterward, he was ambushed and tortured to death by Lupusregina.

Roble Holy Kingdom[edit]

A human nation located southwest of the Re-Estize Kingdom. It is a heavily militarized nation, having to constantly focus on defending invasions from the neighboring Albelion Hills, which are inhabited by all kinds of demi-human tribes. Jaldabaoth (Demiurge in disguise) briefly controlled the nation by uniting said tribes into a huge allied army named the Demi-Human Alliance and started invading the country.

Upon meeting Ainz, she became infatuated with his belief that strength is required to protect others and she later becomes his guard after he agrees to aid the Holy Kingdom. During her service to him, Ainz lent her high-level equipment, causing her to be central in liberating the Northern Holy Kingdom. After the liberation, Neia becomes known as the Faceless Preacher and the leader of a cult that worships Ainz, which later ends up taking over the whole northern nation making its creed "Weakness without the drive to improve one’s self is a sin, everyone must strive towards the goal of becoming stronger" the new official religion of the North with Ainz hailed as their new god and idol of worship.

After the fall of the Northern Holy Kingdom, she became a captain in the "Holy Kingdom Liberation Army". She holds prejudice toward demi-humans and distrusts Ainz, due to his undead nature, which only grows worse as he earns the citizens' trust and admiration.

Calca Bessarez (カルカ・ベサーレス, Karuka Besāresu)
