Ainz Ooal Gown

**Ainz Ooal Gown** (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン, *Ainzu Ūru Goun*) is one of the main characters of *Isekai Quartet,* and the protagonist of *Overlord*. Originally a salaryman named Satoru Suzuki in the year 2138 until his favorite MMO YGGDRASIL was shut down and he found himself stuck in a world similar to the game, making him the isekai character in his universe. He is the guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, Overlord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and the creator of Pandora's Actor. He is regarded as the highest of the Almighty Forty-One Supreme Beings by the NPCs of Nazarick.

In the New World, he is the Sorcerer King of the Sorcerer Kingdom and the most powerful magic caster in the world. His other identity is famously known as "Momon," a dark warrior and leader of Darkness, an adamantite ranked adventurer group of that nation alongside with Nabe. He is an adamantite class adventurer and the strongest adventurer known in E-Rantel.

In the Isekai Quartet World, he is a student of Class 2 and its Vice Representative.

## Appearance

Ainz Ooal Gown has the appearance of a undead skeleton. From his original world, he wears his usual royal gowns that consist of black robes, golden edges, and two large shoulder-like supports with floating red orbs.

## Personality

A wise and powerful king who is beyond merciful, cruel to his enemies, and a hero...The personality he displays to his fellow Guardians, whom he sees as children. While he appreciates them all, he finds them to be a bit stressful and tiring with their praise, and is glad they're now seeking to make friends with others. As a result of this school-life experience, it allows him the opportunity to be a normal person, particularly with Tanya alongside Subaru and Kazuma.

Like from his original Isekai World, Ainz would often think to himself to his surroundings and the various experiences he faces while still overall trying to keep his Overlord persona.

He sees this new world as good for nothing but not necessarily bad, and finds interest in his other classmates. Taking pride in his power and willing to even help his fellow Isekai on Field Day protecting them.

On Test Day, he shows a willing to cheat though only because of the high expectations on him and his own embarrassment in not knowing the answers. Upon seeing the Goddess Aqua willingly cheat, he instantly became ashamed of himself and stopped his spell. He also shows surprise against those who show no reaction toward his great powers. Tanya, Subaru, and Aqua being those three.

## Plot

He is sent to the world of Isekai Quartet after sitting on a Mysterious Button after it teleported under him.

## Powers & Abilities

As a Level 100 being on YGGDRASIL, he is an insanely powerful Magic Caster. He is able to learn alot of powerful spells on his arsenal. Not only is that the case, he has powerful subjects by his side, on topped of his critical thinking and high IQ.

**Magic:** As a master magic caster from his world, Ainz Ooal Gown is capable of utilizing many powerful spells from YGGDRASIL. The spells he shown so far in Isekai Quartet are:

* **Super Tier Spell (Creation) :** Ainz summons many magic circles, then a blast shoots in the sky, and after a certain time, snow begins to fall. He used it on Season 1 Episode 5, as his Talent on Show and Tell.
	+ Super tier Spell can be used on terrain that is difficult to traverse or even capable of changing the weather.

* **Greater Teleportation (7th Tier):**A teleportion spell which teleports the user with 0 percent failure without restriction to distance.

* **Fly (3rd Tier):** As per namesake, he is able to fly and hover with this spell.

* **Undeath Army (7th Tier):** A spell where Ainz summons an army of undead. When together in mass, they are resilient enough to withstand an attack from the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. Like the undead from Konosuba they are drawn to Aqua, and like the Demon Beast in Re:Zero they can be drawn by Subaru's Return by Death's penalty.

* **Magic Ward Holy:** A protection spell he used when Aqua is about to use Sacred Turn Undead.

* **Body of Effulgent Beryl (10th Tier):** A spell that reduced the effectiveness of bludgeoning attacks against its subject while it was in effect, and it could completely negate one instance of bludgeoning damage after it was cast. This spell is powerful enough to repel the Mobile Fortress Destroyer from Kazuma's world.
* **Fireball (3rd Tier):** A 3rd tier spell that allows the user to shoots out a big ball of fire that burns its target.
* **Time Stop (10th Tier)**: Like the name says, time stops, except for the user. Aqua, Natsuki Subaru, and Tanya von Degurechaff are immune to this effect.
* **Nuclear Blast (9th Tier):** A spell able to create a powerful explosion. He is able to combine this move with Megumin's Explosion, making the move more potent.

**Despair Aura**: One of his skills as Overlord which allows him to instill Fear onto others.

**Unknown Skill:** It allow Ainz to see the "negative energy" in Subaru's heart.

.

**Emotion and Sexual Drive Suppressor:**A unique feature by being a undead where his emotions and sex drive are suppressed.

**Purification Weakness:** Despite his overall great power, Ainz is susceptible to certain purification techniques like Aqua's Turn Undead which was very effective against him to his surprise. This weakness is also most likely related to his weakness affinity to Holy elements as a Undead in his world.

**Inability to Digest or Sleep:** As an undead, he doesn't need to eat or sleep. However, he sometimes misses eating, especially when he was given chocolates.

## Relationships

### Overlord

#### The Guardians

His 'children' as he calls them. He does his best to guide them and always tries to help them out. And while grateful to them, he finds them slightly tiring from their views of him. Also a bit embarrsed by Albedo's and Shaltears affections toward him. Still, he considers them family and is glad they're reaching out to make new friends in this world. However, he still shares his overall embarrassing relationship with Pandora's Actor where Ainz denied being Pandora's Actor's father despite being his creator.

He felt bad that he couldn't eat the chocolate some of his fellow Guardians made for him.

#### Pandora's Actor

Created on his Chunibyou-phase, he is the embodiment of Ainz's past self, which embarrasess him on his day, to the point where he doesn't like to deal with him due to the Actor's antics.

### Youjo Senki

#### Tanya von Degurechaff

Like Kazuma, he guessed Tanya was from a war world. Originally Tanya thought of him as Being X and wished to face him. Though immediately he was able to convince her he wasn't, and the two learned they were both people originally from Japan and were former salaryman. They soon became good friends but he is somewhat fearful of her were it not for his emotion suppressor. Regardless, his positive relationship with Tanya shows he's willing to cooperate and assist Tanya such as during the Sports Festival. As a result, Tanya also now looks to Ainz's ability in high regard. He is also shocked when she's immune to Time Stop magic.

### Konosuba

#### Satou Kazuma

He is on decent terms with Kazuma. The adventurer helped him out when Aqua attacked and when Raphtalia also almost attempted to attack him.

During physical examination, Ainz has shown interest in Kazuma's luck and wanted the young teenager to display it in action.

#### Aqua

After being attacked by Aqua by her Turn Undead Spell, he puts up his guard around her for how she was able to harm him so easily, finding how unbalanced the power scale is in the Isekai-Quartet World. He finds her annoying with her purification attempts yet is still kind enough to defend her from Tanya's wrath. When Aqua reveals that she's aware of Ainz's original identity as a human from Earth, he was surprised by her deduction. He is one of few individuals who seems to be aware of Aqua's claim as a Goddess. He admits she is a goddesses after she proves immune to his time stopping spell.

#### Megumin

He respects Megumin's powerful explosions magic, saying that it was on the 8th or 9th tier on the world of YGGDRASIL. Later on a dodgeball game, Ainz teams up with her to combine their respective explosive spells, resulting on a powerful blast.

### Re:Zero

#### Natsuki Subaru

In the opening they both laugh awkwardly around each other. He finds the boy very interesting as he notices a strange dark aura around him which makes him somewhat aware of Subaru's Return by Death. Despite this awareness, he decides not to explore the matter any further. He apologizes for touching him, and is on decent terms with him. He also figure out Subaru's strong mental fortitude, a feature that Subaru has from the constant mental stress he faces from his world, after seeing him unfazed when Tanya unleashed her powerful magical aura. He points out Subaru's hypocrisy of his Battle Maids as he has two Demon Maids around him. During the Sports Festival as fellow teammates, the two develop enough trust where Ainz is willing to listen to Subaru's quest when he thought of a plan. He is surprised Subaru is immune to his time stopping magic.

#### Reinhard

He finds his powers to be utterly absurd, despite himself being absurdly powerful. Despite this, Ainz is conscious of Reinhard listens to him as the teacher of Class 2.

### *The Rising of the Shield Hero*

#### Naofumi Iwatani

As a comparison to Subaru, Ainz found the young man to be perfectly normal. After he and Kazuma learned about Naofumi from a demi-human girl, they found that Naofumi was the same young man they saw earlier and Ainz was amazed at how Naofumi protected his two companions including the demi-human girl.

Ainz was the one of the male students that Naofumi and Vanir took physical examinations of.

#### Raphtalia

When the demi-human girl saw the undead person, her first instinct was to draw her sword. With Kazuma's help, Ainz was able to talk her into cessation of hostility. After the boy and the demi-human girl explained to each other, he and Ainz helped her look for a hero named Naofumi.
