*"Clean. What else is there? No one can clean so thoroughly as me. When I scrub the toilets, you can lick the bowl!"*
-Éclair boasting of his duties.
**Éclair Éklair Éklare** (エクレア・エクレール・エイクレアー) is the assistant butler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

## Appearance

Eclair has an appearance of a Rockhopper penguin, with blond hair. Eclair moves in shuffling steps, so he is always carried by another servant when he wants to get around.

## Personality

Éclair has great pride in being the assistant butler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick to the point of arrogance. Carrying himself with an enormous ego of self-worth, one of his greatest desires is to sit upon the throne of Nazarick. Though Éclair understands this act is treasonous to the Forty-One Supreme Beings and likely due to him also understanding that his creator specifically made him to be this way, he still respects them highly.

## Background

Éclair Éklair Éklare was created by Ankoro Mocchi Mochi. His personality settings were set to have the desire to conquer Nazarick as a joke.

## Chronology

### The Dark Warrior Arc

*Main article: The Dark Warrior Arc*

After the teleportation to the New World, Sebas Tian and the majority of the Pleiades have ventured outside of the tomb on a mission, leaving the assistant butler in charge of Nazarick's upkeep. Éclair encounters Demiurge in the halls of the 9th Floor near Ainz Ooal Gown's quarters. After informing Demiurge that Albedo is inside, both exchange words concerning Éclair's duties. Eclair excuses himself and has his subordinate carry him away to continue his chores.

### The Lizard Man Heroes Arc

*Main article: The Lizard Man Heroes Arc*

Éclair arrives at the 9th Floor of Nazarick in the restaurant of his close comrade Sous-chef. There he finds the Myconid entertaining an extremely depressed Shalltear Bloodfallen. He tried to provide a drink for Shalltear to cheer her up only to spill it on the bench and apologizing to Sous-chef for it. Éclair learned of Shalltear's predicament and sympathizes with her. He is offered a glass of fresh apple juice from the orchards on the 6th Floor. Éclair found the taste to be not bad but lacking compared to the apples in stock in Nazarick. He learned that a dryad from the outside had joined Nazarick.

### The Two Leaders Arc

*Main article: The Two Leaders Arc*

At the staff canteen on the 9th Floor of Nazarick, Éclair is plucked from the hands of his Manservants by CZ2128 Delta. Much to his humiliation, she cuddled him like a plush toy. His attempt to extricate himself from the Pleiades member only exhausted the butler. However, thanks to Lupusregina Beta's distraction with her sister, the penguin is able to successfully escape from CZ2128 Delta's grasp.

### The Pleiades Day Arc

*Main article: The Pleiades Day Arc*
Sebas Tian mentioned that he and Tuare would be meeting Éclair to continue the latter's maid training. He has been avoiding CZ2128 Delta due to his previous experiences with her. This avoidance from him caused the automaton to seek out cute animals on the 6th Floor.

### Ainz’s Ambition Arc

*Main article: Ainz’s Ambition Arc*
Éclair is one of the servants who provided comfort for Ainz during his vacation.

### The Dinner Is All Nazarick Members Arc

*Main article: The Dinner Is All Nazarick Members Arc*
Éclair attended a lavish meal prepared by the Head Chef. However, when he toasted to himself, everyone gave him a cold stare. Much to his distress, the Head Chef had an idea to use penguins in his cooking and wondered if he could use the Albino Penguins found on the 5th Floor.

### Mass for the Dead Arc

*Main article: Mass for the Dead Arc*
To get ready for guests coming to the Great Tomb of Nazarick on the Sorcerer Kingdom's National Foundation Day Ceremony, Sebas Tian mentioned the birdman to assist with the preparations.

## Abilities and Powers

Éclair is an assistant butler who is left in charge of the upkeep on the 10th Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick during Sebas Tian's absence. Unlike the frightening monsters that live in Nazarick, Éclair's fighting prowess is low, since his overall strength level is 1.

## Relationships

### Ankoro Mocchi Mochi

Éclair is created by Ankoro jokingly. He has considerable respect for his creator and the other Supreme Beings regardless of his intention. And like with all the other NPC's for their creators, Éclair's loyalty and respect for her is the strongest due to him being her creation.

### Sebas Tian

No direct interaction between Sebas Tian and Éclair has been shown, however as Head Butler, Sebas Tian is Éclair's superior.

### Sous-chef

One of Eclair's closest acquaintances on the 9th Floor of Nazarick. The two possess a bond where the myconid allows the Birdman to call him by his nickname 'Piki'.

### Shalltear Bloodfallen

Éclair sympathized with Shalltear for her involuntary uprising, as he considered betrayal his function. Learning of Shalltear's betrayal, he attempted to recruit her into joining him in his conquest of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. However, his words have only cause Shalltear to sink more into her depression about betraying Ainz.

### Aura Bella Fiora

Éclair is close enough to Aura to the point they refer to each other with nicknames outside of work. That is because the Supreme Beings who had made them were close to each other, and they felt similarly close to each other.

### Mare Bello Fiore

Éclair is close enough to Mare to the point they refer to each other with nicknames outside of work. That is because the Supreme Beings who had made them were close to each other, and they felt similarly close to each other.

### Yuri Alpha

Éclair is close enough to Yuri to the point they refer to each other with nicknames outside of work. That is because the Supreme Beings who had made them were close to each other, and they felt similarly close to each other.

### CZ2128 Delta

CZ2128 is known to adore Éclair and cuddles him as if he were a plush toy. However, it is a nightmare to the penguin and tries his best to avoid being trapped in her arms.

### Pestonya Shortcake Wanko

Éclair is close enough to Pestonya to the point they refer to each other with nicknames outside of work. That is because they've been created by the same Supreme Being.

### Demiurge

Eclair shares a cordial relationship with Demiurge. He thinks Demiurge's wisdom is second to his own. The two would pay heed to each other's respective duty on the job. However, if the order was given by the Supreme Being, Demiurge would kill Éclair without hesitation and have no objection to it.

### Homunculus Maids

In the Anime, while he has a cordial relationship with them as servants under Ainz, Éclair's declaration of becoming the future ruler of Nazarick left a displeased look among the Homunculus Maids.
