Ainz Ooal Gown Faction

**Ainz Ooal Gown Faction** was a political faction that existed within the Baharuth Empire, comprised of several people who are pro-Ainz.

## Background

In the Web Novel story, their loyalty lies with the Archduke, Ainz rather than the Bloody Emperor, Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix. It was said that the faction of Ainz Ooal Gown is described to be small in numbers. Ainz was not actively growing the faction whatsoever. The people who ended up joining this faction were the ones that are drawn towards Ainz Ooal Gown's overwhelming power since the Massacre at Katze Plains.

## Chronology

### The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc

*Main article: The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc*
During a private meeting arranged between the adamantite adventurer group Darkness and Fluder Paradyne, a new allegiance was made and pledged to Ainz Ooal Gown. Fluder decided to go rogue on his nation, the Baharuth Empire and its ruler, Jircniv by swearing loyalty to the undead before him while bowing on his knees.

On the other hand, when the Empire's Imperial Army was about to be overrun by the Dark Youngs, a few have chosen not to flee from the approaching danger. Rather, they have chosen to stand idly by and embrace these monstrosity summoned by Ainz Ooal Gown. Particularly, they were mesmerized by the sight of Ainz's overwhelming power and had forgotten themselves in their own excitement.

Normally, people would flee when they saw something like that sweeping in toward their direction. However, there were certain beings like the few soldiers within the Imperial Army's ranks who happen to hold admiration for the beauty of the monsters. Hence, some individuals chose to stay still in the face of danger even though they realized there is a chance of it claiming their lives. For that reason, those that have decided to remain behind in the presence of the Ainz's Dark Youngs could be considered deviants.

### The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc

*Main article: The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc*
Emperor Jircniv was very suspicious of his subordinate Leinas possibly betraying the Baharuth Empire for the Sorcerer Kingdom and decided to keep his distance from her as much as possible to avoid any key information from leaking out.

However, upon witnessing Ainz's involvement in both the Grand Arena battle and the fallout of the Slane Theocracy meeting, Jircniv eventually caved in to him and requested his nation become a vassal state ruled by the Sorcerer Kingdom.

## Strength

A sign of partial support for this faction can be traced back to some military officials like Ray within the Imperial Army who caught sight of Ainz using his power against the Re-Estize Kingdom's Royal Army in the Katze Plains.

## Known Members

* Fluder Paradyne
