Climb

Climb (クライム) is the former bodyguard of Princess Renner of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Owing his life to her for taking him in when was living on the streets, he served the princess with unwavering loyalty, oblivious to her true nature. Even after his mistress blatantly betrayed the Kingdom, he was tricked into defecting to the Sorcerer Kingdom with her.
== Appearance ==
Climb is a young man with short blond hair and blue eyes. He wears pure white full plate armor given to him by Renner and is equipped with a broadsword and a shield.
== Personality ==
Climb is described as a hardworking and hot-blooded person and has pledged absolute allegiance to Princess Renner. For her sake, he trains tirelessly every day to improve his swordsmanship in order to repay her kindness. Because of the preferential treatment Climb receives from the princess, he has no close relationship with anyone other than Renner. However, Climb has proven himself to be quite loyal and determined to protect those he cares about. If need be, he would even sacrifice his life for her. He is also rather naïve and dense about Renner's true personality.
== Background ==
Climb lived in Re-Estize during his childhood and encountered misfortune during his lifetime. His parents were gone for unknown reasons when Climb was very young and he became a street urchin subsisting on whatever scraps of food he could find and living in an empty house where he was comfortable. Half-starved and close to death, he was later saved and taken in by the Golden Princess by chance as she passed by.

While heading back to the palace, he sees Sebas confronting a group of drunkards who were beating up a defenseless child. Admiring the man's strength, Climb follows Sebas into an alleyway and then tries to ask the man to teach him how to become stronger. Sebas accepted the young man's determination, agreeing to offer him a quick lesson. As a result, Sebas releases an extreme amount of killing intent directed from himself towards Climb and Brain, who secretly followed them. After the blood-lust ends, Brain decides to reveal himself to the two who were conversing until now. However, their conversation is later interrupted when they are attacked by a group of assassins who were sent to kill Sebas.Overlord Volume 05 Chapter 4: Congregated Men
After defeating the assassins, Brain, Climb, and Sebas travel to the brothel. They infiltrate the brothel and capture Succulent, one of the members of Six Arms who is affiliated with Eight Fingers alongside Cocco Doll, leader of the slave trade department. It is during his fight against Succulent that Climb unleashes his newest Martial Art: Limit Breaker Mind, which he learned from confronting Sebas' killing intent. Thanks to the training with Sebas, this allows Climb to increase all of his abilities by one level for a short period of time and uses it to fight Succulent, but is ultimately unable to defeat him. He watches Brain defeat Succulent in one move while Ampetif Cocco Doll is incapacitated by Sebas. Later on, Climb goes to report his findings to the Princess and explains the entire situation that had occurred.Overlord Volume 05 Chapter 5: Extinguished, soared sparks of fire
When Sebas is told to come to a warehouse alone, due to Tuare's kidnapping, four of the Six Arms are there waiting for him. Climb, Brain, and Lockmyer decide to help Sebas out with his urgency to rescue Tuare. While Sebas is busy handling the majority of the Six Arms, they head off to search for Tuare and find her in one of the cells. However, it is actually Succulent who was disguised as Tuare in an attempt to get the latter to let down their guard. The attempt ends in failure as he is defeated by both Climb and Lockmyer. On the other hand, Brain fights against Zero until Sebas shows up and killed Zero with a powerful heel dropkick. It is right after the fight that all four notice a wall of flame within a distance of their location. Climb realizes the sudden change and decides to head back to the palace to find out what is going on. Sebas offers his thanks to the group for taking part in the success of rescuing Tuare and they all go their separate ways soon afterward.Overlord Volume 06 Chapter 8: Six Arms
During the Demonic Disturbance, Climb, along with Brain and Lockmyer, are in charge of finding the civilians captured by the demons. On the way to the warehouses, they run into Shalltear Bloodfallen. Brain tells the two of them to run while he handles the vampire. They don't follow him and run into each other when Brain flees. The three of them check as many warehouses as they can, but only find one warehouse full of people. As they prepare to escort them to safety, a powerful demon with injuries lands near them. Brain and Climb decide that, since it's injured, they should be able to defeat it on their own.Overlord Volume 06 Chapter 11: The Final Battle of the Disturbance
After the Demonic Disturbance, Climb reports to Princess Renner of what happened during their mission. He laments that Eight Fingers can't be held accountable for the event, which was assumed to have occurred due to the strange item found in one of their warehouses, because the higher-ups want to keep the item's existence top secret. He is saddened to hear from the Princess that the women saved from the brothel earlier were all murdered in the confusion, likely by Eight Fingers' operatives. He asks what happened to the corpses because they might contain clues. Renner responds that they were found in the poor district and that they should be allowed to rest in peace. Climb apologizes and comforts the Princess because of how sad she feels at this occurrence.Overlord Volume 06 Epilogue
=== The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc ===
Climb is seen having a lively discussion with Brain and Lockmyer in E-Rantel. After Lockmyer leaves, the two men are joined by Gazef. Gazef asks the two of them to join him at the top of the city's outer wall. The three of them talk about a variety of topics, from advice for Climb to Ainz Ooal Gown's strength to the famous adventurer Momon. The three of them then make a promise to meet and drink together after the war ends.Overlord Volume 09 Chapter 2: Preparations for the Battle
Later on, during the war on the Katze Plains, Climb, alongside Brain, witnesses the rampage of Ainz Ooal Gown's Dark Young. The two of them agree to act as bait in order to give a chance for Ramposa III to escape. Saddened at the seeming waste of life, the King tells them to name what reward they want and, if they survive, he will grant it. Climb asks for nothing, saying he exists to serve Renner. He is shocked when Brain asks that Climb be allowed to marry Princess Renner and again when the King replies that he should be given a lordship first.
He and Brain later run into Gazef on the battlefield, where they both see Ainz Ooal Gown for the first time. Climb is terrified when he sees Ainz and apologizes to the two of them. He is shocked when the Sorcerer King asks for the Warrior Captain's fealty in exchange for halting the Dark Young's rampage. He and Brain then serve as witnesses to Gazef's duel with Ainz Ooal Gown after the former refuses the deal and challenges the latter. Climb rings a bell as the signal to start the duel. He and Brain do not see how Gazef is defeated and killed due to Ainz casting a "Time Stop" spell as soon as the duel begins and his subsequent use of a Delay: True Death spell to instantly finish the battle. Ainz tells them to tell the royalty and nobility that the Dark Young will not attack the capital if E-Rantel and its surrounding areas are ceded to him. Climb and Brain can only watch as the Sorcerer King takes his leave. Brain decides to carry Gazef's body back while Climb carries Razor Edge. They talk about how war is likely to happen if a creature like that calls himself a king. Climb thinks to himself that the most important thing is to protect Renner.Overlord Volume 09 Chapter 4: Massacre
Later that night, Climb finds Brain on the outermost wall of E-Rantel, grieving over the death of his rival and friend. When Brain asks him what Gazef was thinking, Climb responds by saying that he personally believes that Warrior Captain challenged the Sorcerer King, despite knowing he would die, because he wanted the two of them to know Ainz Ooal Gown's power in the hopes of using that information in the future. They talk about Gazef's desire to not be resurrected and how Climb says that, if he could, he would accept resurrection and serve the Princess until he becomes dust. Brain says the two of them should drink in order to try and get past the sorrow they both feel right now.Overlord Volume 09 Epilogue
=== The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc ===
Climb is waiting outside an orphanage that had been established by Renner after the war with Tina until his pocket watch vibrates, signaling that it's time to leave. He goes inside to tell Renner and Evileye that it is time to go. The four of them leave in a carriage.
Inside the carriage, Renner tells them her plan to use the orphanage as a tool to make sure orphans don't turn into criminals, a way to give the widows from the war a job, and a way to find promising new talent for the future. He hears Evileye say that she can't defeat the Sorcerer King and that she is uncertain who is more powerful between the Sorcerer King and Momon. Climb personally believes that the undead magic caster is more powerful due to seeing his power firsthand.
Along the way, Climb accompanies Renner as she talks with her older brother. A few days later, when the Sorcerer Kingdom's emissary asks to speak with the Princess alone in her chambers, Climb grows apprehensive. He ultimately decides to follow through with Renner's orders and leaves the two of them alone, exiting the room afterward.Overlord Volume 10 Chapter 2: Re-Estize Kingdom
=== The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc ===
It was revealed that Climb has been appointed as one of Renner's guards outside the throne room where the meeting between King Ramposa III and Albedo has transpired. After the meeting is over, he and Brain, who was waiting outside the room alongside, are ordered by Renner to go to her room while she goes with Zanac to have a meeting with Ramposa.Overlord Volume 14 Chapter 2: The Beginning of the End
While the capital Re-Estize is surrounded by the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces, Climb, Renner, and Brain, having earlier visited the orphanage, are informed by the few remaining knights that Blue Roses is waiting for them after they return to the palace. To guarantee Renner's escape to safety, Climb and Brain discuss in secret about arranging a carriage outside of the palace. Before meeting with Blue Roses, Climb prepares water and a towel for Renner to wipe away her sweat before heading off with Brain to take a quick shower. Since the maids aren’t there, Climb has no choice but to help clean up and dress Renner.
After a discussion between Renner and Lakyus begins, he is shocked when, all of a sudden, Gagaran and Tia launch a decisive combo attack repeatedly on their team leader. He goes to Renner's side, shielding and covering the princess from whatever harm the remaining Blue Roses members are plotting against Lakyus. He is threatened by Evileye to hold still and not make any foolish move on them until they successfully accomplish their scheme. which is to drug and cast [Charm Person] on Lakyus.
However, upon learning of Blue Roses' reason for acting the way they did towards Lakyus, he lowers his guard and feels worried about Renner's decision if they should escape with them. Stressing and already knowing how Renner would respond, he can't help but, in the end, respect his liege's wish to stay behind within the Royal Capital. Although his thoughts are solely on survival at first, Climb resolves to be by Renner's side no matter what. After Blue Roses leaves, he expresses words of comfort to his liege Renner, believing that she is saddened to see Lakyus, who is her friend, no longer around with them.
When Brain bids farewell to him and Renner, Climb voices his disapproval of the warrior's choice to leave them and fight the Sorcerer King. He is adamantly against Brain's idea of handing Gazef's weapon, Razor Edge, to him. Before he can complain any further, Climb is stopped in his tracks by his liege, as Renner tells him to respect the decision Brain had chosen. Frustrated at what the Sorcerer King has done to drive his friends away from his life, he bitterly walks away with Renner to help make some preparations before visiting her father.
After Renner finishes her tasks, Climb accompanies her to the room where her father King Ramposa III is in. Although he is ordered by King Ramposa III to take Renner with him and flee from the Sorcerer Kingdom's army, Climb silently refuses to do so, as he cannot disobey his mistress's wish. It is to the extent that Climb even turns down the king's offer for his daughter's hand in marriage, all for the sake of following Renner's every word without resistance.
Under Renner's order, he is given the task to hide everything, including specific items that look symbolic of the throne and the Kingdom, to prevent the Sorcerer King from easily finding out about them. Climb is handed a map drawn by his mistress to use in helping him find his way to a small warehouse in the abandoned warehouse district. Once he reaches the location, he is to hide the items in the warehouse's basement. Climb is then reminded by Renner to avoid engaging the enemies in a fight and that he should run to prioritize his safe return back to Ro-Lente Castle alive and unharmed after he completes his job. Before he sets off to carry out Renner's task, he is informed of the hidden passageways from the palace to the capital by her father.
Once Climb is finished hiding the royal treasures in the basement, he leaves the warehouse to find himself spotted by an unknown dark elf from the Sorcerer Kingdom in hiding. To avoid further suspicion about his action until now by the enemy and after being urged to by the dark elf, Climb continues to make his escape out of his presence. While having reached the passageway safely, he notices that several buildings are collapsing, the capital is on fire, and that there are no traces of his fellow citizens' presence or their screams. Upon returning to Ro-Lente Castle from the passageway, he swiftly heads back to the room where Renner and her father were at, but finds neither of them. Finding familiar instructions written by Renner to go to the throne room, he immediately leaves the room to check what she and her father are doing while he was away on his mission.
Seeing that the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces have already infiltrated the Ro-Lente Palace, he remains on guard until none of them show the slightest interest of getting in his way to the throne room. Hence, Climb proceeds to enter the throne room without resistance from the enemy. Once there, Climb is shocked at what he sees: the Sorcerer King himself sitting on the throne surrounded by some of his minions and King Ramposa dead on the floor with Renner next to him and the Sword Razor Edge both covered in Ramposa's blood. Before he proceeds to fight them, Climb is forced to kneel before the Sorcerer King by Demiurge's power. Realizing Demiurge's control over him, he comes to the conclusion that Renner was likely also mind-controlled by one of the Sorcerer King's subordinates to kill her father. After Climb is set free from the mind-control by Demiurge under Ainz's order, he immediately sprints into action and picks up the Razor Edge laying on the ground, preparing to fight the Sorcerer King with it. Angered by the presence of Ainz and how he had orchestrated the Fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Climb launches a surprise attack by letting go of the weapon and proceeds to strike a punch at the Sorcerer King's face. However, it fails to work on the Sorcerer King and Climb is mockingly tossed aside and played with by Ainz, who then proceeds to lecture the warrior. He fights back against Ainz with all his strength, despite knowing that the Sorcerer King is simply toying with him before deciding to finally end his life.
After he is killed by Ainz with [Grasp Heart], he wakes up to find himself alive in an unknown room alone with Renner. Due to being resurrected back to life, Climb's entire body is without strength, so not even his vocal cords or muscles can move to his whim, much to his confusion. He begins tearfully crying, thinking everything bad that had to happen in the Re-Estize Kingdom was a horrible nightmare. However, upon seeing Renner's new form as an Imp, it brings him back to reality, refusing to no longer console himself. Hearing how Renner had chosen to become a demon and swore fealty to the Sorcerer King in order to resurrect him, he begins tearing up again, but is comforted by his mistress. Climb decides to become an immortal demon as well in the hopes of staying by Renner's side forever.Overlord Volume 14 Chapter 4: Well-Prepared Traps
=== Mass for the Dead Arc===
In the aftermath of the Catastrophe refugees began to spill into Re-Estize, Climb on behalf of Princess Renner helped get the refugees settled in. He later spoke briefly with Gazef on the dire situation and was vital in informing the Warrior Captain of another strong arm that could aid the Kingdom. While the Warrior Captain left to locate the person, Climb requested to be assigned at the refugee camps. At the same time, he was requested to assist in an investigation, as the refugees were being robbed by thieves. Climb acting as bait, lured the gang of thieves to him and was assisted in apprehending them with Gagaran's help.Memory of Chaos: ClimbMemory of Chaos: Gazef Stronoff

Another attack on the city did happen as a result of a deal with the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth. The demon saved the city by destroying a horde of thirty thousand Chaos Beasts but as payment he demanded the riches of E-Rantel and Emperor Jircniv. When the Demon Emperor's minions began to ransack the city Climb was a few of the remaining warriors that rose to stop them. Fighting beside Brain, the two encountered a strange demon who indicated that she was not supposed to kill one of them. Climb witnessed the arrival of the protagonist in jet-black armor and his abilities in repulsing the Demon Emperor and his cohorts from the city.Mass for the Dead Chapter 11: Demon Emperor's Feast

While staying in E-Rantel, he and the Princess were visited by the protagonist and his allies inquiring if there was anything strange lately concerning Blue Roses. The young warrior had a training session with them but other than that he didn’t seem to think anything was out of the ordinary. The princess as well did not think of anything, though after she was told of Lakyus and Evileye’s bunny girl costumes she and Climb were confused as to why the two women would be in such attire. After the adventurers left, Climb asked Renner if they should be concerned that the protagonist was investigating their allies as it was suspicious. Though his concerns were put at ease by the Princess to trust the protagonist as he has never let them done before.Mass for the Dead Special Event: Moon, Rabbit And Prophecy
Over tea, Climb would discuss about the progress in E-Rantel made by the protagonist with Renner, Lakyus and Evileye on how the citizens of the old section of the city were beginning to recover from the trauma from the Demon Emperor. Also, he noted that the success of the chocolate confectionaries provided by the Adventurer's Guild were attracting more people to join just to acquire the items. When Lakyus mentioned about the new dolls made by the guild in the image of the "Dark Warrior" and teased him that Renner was waiting for a doll of him which caused him to be bashful. The conversation then turned to the number of sick orphans in the old section of E-Rantel, which Climb sympathized and seeing Renner's bleeding heart offered to bring a patrol or even go plainclothes and investigate. His offers were welcomed but turned down as either option would cause the people in area to be distrustful. Instead, it was decided by Lakyus and Renner that Evileye would go and see the situation herself.Mass for the Dead Special Event: E-Rantel's Santa Claus
Climb was given permission by Renner to leave her side, as Lakyus and Gagaran volunteered to act as her escorts, so that he could join in E-Rantel's Harvest Festival. He was accompanied by Brain who helped him patrol the streets of the event and look for a gift for the princess. When the mock combat demonstration was taking place, Brain suggested he join in to win the Longevity Nut for Renner. Climb declined as he sensed that the opponents, Aura and Mare, were out of his league.Mass for the Dead Special Event: E-Rantel's Harvest Festival 
In the midst of several Cracks being formed in E-Rantel, releasing countless Chaos Beasts, Climb joined together with Brain and Lockmeier to complete a mission from Princess Renner to deliver Razor Edge to a specific location. The trio did their best to stay alive and avoid the roaming invaders in the city, but they were attacked by a pair of Giant Flying Chaos Beasts. To buy time for his comrades to escape Lockmeier sacrificed himself to distract the monsters.
Climb and Brain finally arrive at their destination, the E-Rantel Magic Research Institute. There they were greeted by the sight of not only the protagonist and his friends but a semi-cured and enhanced Gazef Stronoff fighting a Spear Chaos Beast. To aid in the revived Warrior Captain in defeating the monster, Brain tossed him Razor Edge. But before Gazef can land the final blow on his enemy, a series of Cracks exploded within the facility in the vicinity, bringing forth a dangerous entity.Mass for the Dead Chapter 15: Crackling World
Some months after the attack on E-Rantel, Climb was reported to be among the casualties. His death was the result of an condition of Princess Renner, through her collusion with the Sorcerer Kingdom. When the city was under attack, the princess knowing that Climb could be at risk of dying the possibility of his revival in jeopardy should his remains were unviable, sent the warrior to the E-Rantel Magic Research Institute not just to deliver Razor Edge, but also to get him out of harm's way and under the protection of her allies. After the Crack sucked many of the people at the institute, a Shadow Demon that was secretly following the human complied with the necessary orders to kill Climb. His death was not just to protect his corpse, for future revival but also to keep him quiet that the protagonist and the members of Darkness went missing through the Cracks..
Climb was eventually revived by the Sorcerer Kingdom, and from him Momonga learned of the fates of the protagonist and his team. The human and the princess were said to be guests of Momonga at an undisclosed location.Mass for the Dead Chapter 16: Name of God
Later its revealed that Climb is being used as a hostage as per Princess Renner's accord with Momonga to be accepted into the ranks of Nazarick. He is kept asleep by Renner who is monitoring his health and looking forward to training him to be a loyal servant to the Sorcerer Kingdom.Mass for the Dead Special Event: Golden Dance Festival of the Fallen
After the return of the protagonist and his team from the "other side" of the Crack, the Four Kingdoms Rescue Mission was launched and aimed to save a hundred people from the Chaos Zone. The team of Darkness overheard Gagaran teasing Evileye of being worried about Climb and her motivation for finding him. Slimeko was worried that when Climb's body would not turn up it could raise suspicion as to why the young man was the only one missing among the previously though disappeared. Soi had taken that into consideration, and before the start of the operation, collected several bodies on the "other side" to thin the numbers that the expedition would need to rescue but also to hide Climb's disappearance among the missing people.Mass for the Dead Chapter 17: Eve of the Storm
As it turns out Climb was now a member of the Sorcerer Kingdom. After recovering from his ordeal and death, Climb had undergone a racial class change and transformed into a imp. He was told by Renner that he had been killed by a Chaos Beast and that the only way to revive him was to undergo a racial change. While he accepted this reason, with little issue, he was distressed that Renner had also undergone the same transformation as he did, though according to the princess she claimed that she did so out of her love for him, as she wanted to spend eternity with him as a non-human. Under the service of heteromorphic nation, Climb became Albedo's indirect subordinate through Renner and assist the princess in establishing a base and harbor on the Mysterious Island by working with the lizardmen colonists.
Despite joining the Sorcerer Kingdom, and listening to Renner's reasons, Climb still felt a nagging sense that the nation was not all benevolent. It was only made worse when he experiences Narberal Gamma's creeping distrust towards outsiders while on an expedition to the archipelago beyond the island claimed by Nazarick. 
However, these feelings of anxiety and wariness to the Sorcerer Kingdom were erased after Albedo told him a fabricated story of why Narberal and others in Nazarick were so distrustful of outsiders due to negative past experiences. His reservations to the Sorcerer Kingdom were successfully changed to that of pity and with the aid his lizardmen comrades, devoted themselves to assisting Narberal when she was attacked by a Chaos Beast during the expedition. It was believed by Albedo that the former human would pose no issue for Nazarick in the future.Mass for the Dead Special Event: Islands of the Unknown and Chaos
While assisting Renner on the isolated island, Climb was grimly watching the lizardmen receive orders from Renner. Due his attitude, Renner thought he was growing jealous by all the attention the lizardmen were showing her which he denied. He expressed some concern about the surplus of fish that the lizardmen caught, as there was so much that even the lizardmen had no use for. 
Later when Albedo paid a surprise visit, and Renner proposed giving a reward to the lizardmen, the young bodyguard praised his mistress for her kindness to the demi-humans. Soon after Climb had to take up arms to quell a nest of slimes that were attacking the lizardmen. From a survey made by Zaryusu, Climb and Renner learned that the lizardmen wanted an ice room, which would solve the issue of the surplus fish and also a statue of Momonga to offer tributes and prayers to.
Afterwards, when Renner returned from Nazarick to the island, exhausted after delivering a report on rewarding the lizardmen, Climb comforted her, saying she was doing a good job. Climb was then part of the escorts, including Lupusregina, CZ and Entoma, to bring Renner and Slimeko from the lizardmen village in the Great Lake to the Azerlisia Mountains. On the path to the mountains, they were attacked by some vultures and a Chaos Beast. Climb stood firm to protect Renner, and had some difficulty with his opponent, but managed to slay the vulture. Seeing that they collected enough material, Renner gave the order to return back to Nazarick.
Back in Nazarick, Climb joined, Renner, Slimeko and Cocytus in returning back to the island via the [Gate]. There Climb witnessed Cocytus use his power to create the ice room and ice statue. Though they found that the cave they made the ice room in was infested with slimes, forcing him and Renner to fight against the creatures. 
Climb was then invited to a Christmas part on the 6th Floor, by Albedo. There he watched as Renner thanks the three Pleiades for their help in the material collection for the party. Entoma then approached Climb, offering a dish of cooked vulture meat, but was declined by the imp. At the party, Climb felt a little out of place, despite Renner saying he was one of the key players of the event. The imp bodyguard stayed at the sidelines watching Renner be greeted and socialize with the other Floor Guardians, until he decided to retire a quiet part of the party, allowing Renner to speak with Albedo privately.Mass for the Dead Special Event: An Ice Room Is Built and a Holy Night Is Celebrated
Sometime after the Calamity of Cracks, Climb was chaperoning Renner after she finished her duties for the day at the island. He urged her to rest, when Albedo arrived unexpectedly to request the former princess's help in training her subordinates in noble etiquette. After Renner left with Albedo, Climb was left in charge of the island until Renner's return. Albedo would visit again, which worried Climb, but Renner revealed that the Overseer Guardian had just come to drop off a dress as thanks for Renner's help. Renner in her new dress then invited Climb to a dance, which he complied at the girl's urging.Mass for the Dead Special Event: A Young Lady Casting a Shadow of Ambition

== Relationships ==
=== Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself ===
Climb is extremely loyal to Renner and felt indebted to her for saving his life. He wants to become stronger so he can protect her and repay her kindness. But he's completely unaware of her psychopathic personality and is willing to do almost anything she asked him to, no matter the danger to himself.
Due to this blind admiration, his intense loyalty toward her, and Renner's attempts to better the kingdom for the "sake" of the people, Climb has become completely blind in noticing her true psychopathic personality and sociopaths traits. Even when some of Renner's actions become suspicious, he deludes himself immediately, believing that his mistress had good reasons to do what she does. And due to Renner's skill in acting and manipulating him, Climb easily overlooks or ignores these "strange" actions done by the Princess.
Later, after the complete destruction of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Climb still continued to show immense loyalty and practically blind faith towards Renner and her words. As seen where he completely bought into Renner's act of being "forced" into working for the Sorcerer King due to wanting to survive, and after learning of how she swore fealty and loyalty to the Sorcerer King and became a demon and hearing of her "sadness" at the prospect of living forever alone, Climb was more than willing also swear fealty to the Sorcerer King and even agreed to become a demon as well after learning it was done by her in order to revive Climb and him wanting to stay by her side forever.
=== Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself ===
Climb's outlook on Zanac was generally negative due to the latter's frequent badmouthing of Renner. He believed the Second Prince was simply jealous of his sister. Climb also believed that the Prince was purposely trying to provoke him to find an excuse to separate him from the princess; thus, following Renner's instructions, he refrained himself from showing any conspicuous signs of anger in his presence.
=== Sebas Tian ===
Climb sees Sebas as a powerful person after seeing him beat the leader of a group of drunk men who were trying to beat a young boy. He admires Sebas for his heroic act to save the weak and respects him. He even asked Sebas to teach him how to fight and overcome his limit to protect someone precious to him. Climb also recommends him to act as a second "arrow" in the battle against Jaldabaoth.
=== Brain Unglaus ===
Upon seeing that Climb survived after being exposed to Sebas' killing intent, and finding his reason for why he could stand up, Brain started to hold some degree of respect towards him. Thanks to Climb, Brain went through a drastic change in his personality and restored his confidence that was once lost because of his encounter with Shalltear. Brain Unglaus cares for Climb, as he was willing to help him on many occasions. Climb believes Brain is the only one worthy enough to wield Razor Edge after Gazef had passed away. He sees Brain as someone who can potentially inherit Gazef Stronoff's will. Compared to Gazef, Climb had gotten much closer to Brain. To Climb, who held Renner as the most important person in his heart, Brain was someone who came a close second.
=== Gazef Stronoff ===
Climb greatly respects Gazef and has a friendly relationship with him. Gazef knows Climb doesn't have any talent for the sword, but still gave him some advice and even offered to train alongside him. Gazef also lent Climb his valuable ring to help him survive. He respects Gazef's decision to challenge the Sorcerer King.
=== Blue Roses ===
Climb is close to some of the members of Blue Roses. Gagaran even taught him some of her sword techniques and Evileye sometimes gives him some advice. He was saddened when the adventurers fled the Kingdom to avoid its downfall, but could not do anything to stop them.
=== Lockmeier ===
Climb and Lockmeier first met during the mission to raid an Eight Fingers' stronghold. They fought together to defeat Succulent of the Six Arms. Lockmyer later volunteers to help Climb in his mission to find and recover citizens captured by demons during the Demonic Disturbance. Lockmeier is reminded of his younger self in the past when he looks at Climb. The two are later seen conversing pleasantly when preparing for war with the Baharuth Empire.
=== Ainz Ooal Gown ===
Climb first heard of Ainz from Gazef and displayed gratitude towards him for saving a man that he admired. However, upon actually meeting him during the Massacre of the Katze Plains, Climb felt nothing but sheer terror upon seeing his power and that he was an undead. Afterward, Climb came to believe the Sorcerer King to be the most powerful person in existence.
As the state of the Kingdom and his own personal situation continued getting worse, Climb came to blame Ainz for all of it. Thus, Climb attempted to extract vengeance on his during their duel. During the said duel, Climb felt a mix of anger, rage and hate towards the Sorcerer King, yet at the same time not help also feeling anxious, awestruck and somewhat intimidated by his power and charisma. Following his resurrection after being killed by Ainz, Climb actually swore fealty to him to continue staying by Renner's side; though it is very likely he still greatly despises the undead monarch.
== Trivia ==
* In the city of Re-Estize, even among the Warrior Troop, very few people are stronger than Climb. Climb is stronger than the average Imperial Knight and slightly stronger than a member of Gazef's Warrior Band.
* The ring created through Wild Magic that he possesses, which was lent to him by Gazef, used to belong to Rigrit.
* During his duel against Ainz, Climb attempted to attack and destroy the Red Orb inside Ainz's chest thinking that it was his weak point using Razor Edge.
** This observation was similarly made by Roberdyck Goltron in the Web Novel during the Worker Invasion.
*In a Q&A section in the Overlord Exhibition, when asked on who he would like to be if he had been reincarnated in the world of Overlord, Maruyama stated that he wouldn't want to be reincarnated in such a harsh world. But if he had to choose, it would be as Climb living a happy and carefree life.Overlord Exhibition
