==Personality==
Aggresiel is described, when she is happy to have sparkling eyes and gets a ragged breath when excited. She appears to have a sisterly bond with her associates, who affectionately refer her using chan (ちゃん) as a form of endearment. Aggresiel also appears to be very optimistic of the future and her sisters plans, having no doubts that things can go wrong. 
The girl appears to be very confident and sometime gets carried away in her excitement. Fundamentally she is a carefree girl who smiles. According to herself she is not a very outspoken person but values a dialogue. She claims to also have good tuition which is normally reliable. 
Aggresiel appears to have great admiration for the guild of Ainz Ooal Gown and their associates, as they were the people her creator idolized in YGGDRASIL. 
==Background==
Little is known about Aggresiel, save that she lives with five other girls who she considers as her sisters: Billiophia, a twin pig-tailed girl, a spear-wielding girl, a wheelchair bound girl and a lethargic girl that is seen sleeping on a pile of some unknown objects. Which together they make up the group called the Mercenary Knights. 
Though later it is revealed that she is a creation of someone from YGGDRASIL who was a long-time admirer of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown who recorded their mighty deeds in a series of documents. At one point she and her sisters came in possession of the documents, about the heteromorphic guild. These tales greatly made an impression on the Mercenary Knights, but more so on Aggresiel. 
According to her claim, she and her sisters operate "inside the Crack", traveling to various worlds, taking on different roles and identities, where they are Mercenary Knights, in another workers, etc. The current world which her sisters are in is one where there is a minimal presence of the Chaos Beasts, at least compared to the New World. 
==Chronology==
===Mass for the Dead Arc===
A month after the defeat of Enhela, Aggresiel returned to the domicile and shared with her sisters with some exciting good news. The news was guessed by one of her sisters, that being the death of Enhela.
Her sisters took the news in satisfaction as the uncertain threat was now gone. Aggresiel then put up the proposal in asking her sisters their permission to contact the great guild, which the idea was unanimously agreed to by most.
Once she got her sisters approval, Aggresiel planned to get started right away, commenting it's all for the sake of a good conversation. That being said, since Aggresiel was accompanied by Billiophia to make arrangements.Mass for the Dead Chapter 19: The Battle to Conquer Nazarick
Aggresiel and Billiophia made their way to the Baharuth Empire, finding themselves in Arwintar. Though they lacked money and were getting hungry and attempted to find work. They managed to meet with the merchant Osk, and pleaded to for him to hire them as fighters at the Grand Arena, claiming themselves to be bounty hunters. Although the merchant was doubtful of them, his aide, Headhunter Rabbit convinced him otherwise.
Aggresiel and her sister were set to fight on the last day of Go Gin's comeback training matches. They were to have a friendly match against two members from Silver Thread Bird: Freivalds and Fan Long. Aggresiel and her sister were regarded as newcomers, but they surprised the crowd with their physical strength and skill and won the match. Although there were a few complaints from those in the crowd, who were hoping that the adamantite adventurers would lose, which the Aggresiel found rude as it was a good match. This allowed Fan Long to strike a conversation to explain about the behind the scene bets and credited her as being strong.
When Freivalds praise her and Billiophia for being stronger than expected, Aggresiel proved her awareness of Freivalds and his team's reputation of being the slayers of the Radiant Crawler and the best adventurers in the Empire. After the end of the match, she and Billiophia went to Osk to receive their payment and shortly left the arena.
Their next destination turned out to be the Singing Apple Pavilion where they ate with some workers. At the end of the meal, they headed to the lodging facility prepared by the Empire for the representatives of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Their approach was noticed by the Shadow Demons lurking about. However, Aggresiel and Billiophia shocked the demons, when they addressed them directly, displaying that the women could perceive them despite their abilities of stealth. Aggresiel and her sister demanded an audience with Prime Minister Albedo. The Shadow Demons seeing that the pair were unfazed, got clarification from their mistress on how to proceed, permitted the women to pass into the room where the Overseer Guardian and the protagonist were waiting. 
At their introductions, Aggresiel expressed how grateful she was for the members of the Sorcerer Kingdom were sparing her some time and introduced herself and her sisters as being members of the Mercenary Knights. The name of the group, only elicits a response of confusion from Albedo as she was not aware of such an organization in the Empire. 
Aggresiel hearing this commented out loud that this may explain why that she and her sister were unable to find work, before Billiophia urged her to focus on the conversation at hand. The girl then apologized and explains that she and Billiophia were currently working at the Grand Arena for pay, which the Sorcerer Kingdom delegation had no doubt witnessed.
Upon hearing Albedo's name, Aggresiel became greatly exhilarated with the Prime Minister, lauding her elegance and dignity, before Billiophia reminded her to focus. Though the knight could not help herself as she was in the presence of one of the people who they admired for so many years.
When Billiophia commented that Albedo was studying Aggresiel's armor her younger sister told her that she should have removed though. Though Aggresiel claimed she cannot remove them just as Billiophia could not remove her nails. She apologized to Albedo telling her that the equipment was just as much as a part of her and it was not her intention to bring a weapon to their meeting.
In response to Albedo asking if this was a way to evoke interest from her, Aggresiel commented that the Prime Minister possessed your keen insight. And that she was a fitting person for the protagonist to serve. This brought surprise from Albedo that the girl knows of the protagonist, to which Aggresiel explains she has been watching her for a while now and was impressed by her leadership on the ground.
Billiophia commented to Aggresiel that the other party must think that they were spies, and told her older sister to stop acting suspicious, which the leader of the Mercenary Knight apologizes again, assuring the other party that she truly just wanted to talk.
The Sorcerer Kingdom party then asked questions on their identities and how they could be part of some organization that does not exist. Having expected these questions and the Sorcerer Kingdom's incredible intelligence network, Aggresiel clarified that the Mercenary Knights were not fictional. In fact they were beings who traveled to various world and took on different identities.
After Albedo realized that Aggresiel and Billiophia were being like the protagonist, that they came from "inside the Crack." Though the knight clarified that they actually called it the Corridor. Aggresiel hearing from Albedo's words, she proud that she was convinced. Furthermore, she noted that it appeared the protagonist shared the same ancestry as them and was happy to be able to interact with a kindred spirit.
This still caused Albedo and the protagonist to still wonder that they had been spying on the Sorcerer Kingdom of a prolonged time. Aggresiel and Billiophia stated that it was not the case, stating that they took notice due to the commotion that followed involving the realm, after a priest named Enhela from the Slane Theocracy got deeply involved. Aggresiel confirmed that from his "presence," the priest was also a kindred but was using some evil power.
At the mention of the mad priest, the protagonist was worried that Aggresiel and her people were in contact with him. Aggresiel denied this as the people of the Theocracy, which proclaims human supremacy, were incompatible with her sisters. In fact she was very much offended by the priest and was glad he had been eradicated. 
Having said her piece, Aggresiel asked if Albedo and the protagonist still had doubts about her and Billiophia. Still the members of the Sorcerer Kingdom had questions of what world they came from. Aggresiel provides she and her sisters came from a world where they have adventured all over, but now find themselves in a world where there is a minimal threat from the endless monsters that appear from the Cracks.
The monster that Aggresiel mentioned are the Chaos Beasts...however, even in such a world, it is slowly heading towards destruction. Hence the reason for Aggresiel coming to the protagonist and Albedo as she and her sisters were hoping that they could share their wisdom from the people of the Sorcerer Kingdom, who are guiding the humans of the current world in a positive direction...and lend their strength.
Of course, the knight was not talking about doing something right away and first would like to build a friendly relationship first. To show her sincerity she gave them a toothy smile, though Billiophia informed her it was having the opposite effect. Aggresiel believed her was being a bit too stiff, reminding her that they were in the presence of the people who may be the members of the guild they admired and read about for years.
In response to Albedo and the protagonist's questioning looks about the word "guild", the girl elaborated that her sisters possess documents that recorded the great deeds of a certain guild. And while in the Chaos Zone, Aggresiel claimed she spotted the protagonist and members of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Despite the lack of proof, from that moment Aggresiel believed that the group were from the legendary guild, however the girl's intuition told her so.
Albedo still needed more proof to confirm what Aggresiel said, and asked her to tell her more about this guild she believed the Sorcerer Kingdom was associated with. At that Aggresiel to provide Albedo the information, which involved reciting a series a series of facts about the guild, such as managing to defeat a punitive force of 1,500 people, was a guild made up of only heteromorphic species like her sisters, fought off against righteous hunters of other races, had a World Champion and World Disaster within their ranks, and was called Ainz Ooal Gown and was led by a guildmaster named Momonga. All these words were from her creator, who was a long-time admirer of the famous guild of Ainz Ooal Gown.
The stunned reaction from Albedo and the protagonist pleased Aggresiel who sensed that they were beginning to believe her words. The girl still assured Albedo that she meant not to make her uneasy. She was aware that Albedo's organization. now called themselves the Sorcerer Kingdom to hide their identities, but she and her sisters understood and were aware about keeping things discrete with this kind of information. Aggresiel expressed how long she wanted to meet her creator's idols who she also idolized.Mass for the Dead Part 2 Prologue: Pilgrims from Beyond
