Criminal Organizations

Zuranon

A death cult consisting of evil magic casters who specialize in necromancy.
    In General 
  • Cult: They appear to be a very small cult consisting of Khajiit and seven other unnamed necromancers. Clementine serves as muscle and an old associate of Khajiit's, but not as an actual member. The Light Novel mentions that Khajiit is only one of twelve leaders of the cult, at least three of whom are stronger than Clementine, and according to Clementine in the ESCAPE FROM NAZARICK game, the cult's leader is a literal Night Lich who is nowhere to be seen. Where the others are is unknown, but it's implied the overall cult is actually quite large.
  • Evil Sorcerer: They're all too willing to sacrifice innocents to achieve their goals and were known as horrific threats to the New World.
  • Red Shirt: Beside Khajiit and Clementine, the handful of necromancers that appeared to be the rest of Zuranon went unnamed and undistinguished. They died shortly after Momon and Nabe showed up.
  • Religion of Evil: They worship death and their members seek to turn E-Rantel into a population of zombies.

One of the twelve core members of Zuranon. His objective in E-Rantel was to create a second undead city to power up his artifact, but was foiled by Momon and Nabe.


  • Arc Villain: Of the Dark Warrior arc, where he acts as Momon's first big target as an adventurer.
  • Bald of Evil: He's bald, he's paltry, and he's a very evil necromancer who seeks to wipe out entire cities.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: On the recieving end from Narberal, who used a single spell to obliterate his dragons, incinerating him in the process.
  • Didn't See That Coming: At the climax of the conflict involving him, Khajiit seems poised to fulfil his nefarious ambitions with no power in the New World able to stop him in time. Unfortunately, Ainz and Narberal are not from the New World, and they tear his five years worth of schemes apart in a single night simply because he used Nfirea for his plan and Ainz had coincidentally decided to use him to increase his renown as Momon.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: He doesn't like when Clementine calls him "Dale."
  • Flunky Boss: As expected of a Necromancer, his main shtick is to summon up minions and let them fight for him. First an army of undead, then an undead dragon, then another to fight two-on-one (if you don't count himself).
  • Freudian Excuse: In the light novel and manga, his motivation was that he wanted to resurrect his mother, but there wasn't any resurrection spell powerful enough to revive her. One could be devised, but the magical research would take longer than his lifetime, so he resolved to become immortal to do it.
  • Hollywood Acid: The "Acid Javelin" spell is this.
  • Immortality Seeker: Has been searching for this up to the point of Clementine's proposition.
  • Mook Maker: He doesn't seem to have much offensive power himself, instead using loads upon loads of mooks to overwhelm his enemies. Even Evileye has stated that she will run into trouble if she doesn't bring the appropriate equipment against him.
  • Necromancer: Pretty much a stereotypical necromancer, in both appearance and skills. He plans on turning the populace of E-Rantel into undead, an action that would accumulate enough negative energy to turn him into a lich.
  • No-Sell: His Skeletal Dragons are immune to magic up to tier 6, making them almost impossible to deal with by most native magic casters in the New World. Unfortunately for him, Nabe, or more accurately, Narberal Gamma can cast up to tier 7.
  • Parental Abandonment: His mother died when he was a child. His father is not mentioned.
  • Power Crutch: His plan to become a lich revolves around his Amplifier Artifact, a purple crystal about the size of his fist, which gathers up negative energy like a magic battery, and it can be used to augment his spellcasting. It was drained when he summoned up two skeletal dragons, but his plan was to resurrect the dead of E-Rantel would be enough to recharge it to full. He died and it was claimed by Ainz before he could see if his plan would work.
  • Smug Snake: Not quite as much as Clementine, but he is quite full of himself, constantly calling Nabe a fool for challenging him. While he is incredibly powerful by New World standards, he did not quite realize what he was dealing with.
  • Starter Villain: Scenes play out with him set, with Clementine, as the first major enemy Ainz may have to face as the adventurer Momon. Of course, considering our protagonist is an overleveled transhuman abomination dealing with much weaker enemies, he's more like an eyesore that would be effortlessly cleaved in half. Narberal Gamma even thanks him for being "a stepping stone" for Ainz's eventual rise to fame before she promptly obliterates him. Unlike most examples however, he's still more threatening than most examples of this trope. His undead summons are stated to be extremely tricky to deal with even for someone like Evileye, his Zombie Dragons would easily leave any native magic caster in the New World helpless, his bodyguard Clementine boasts nearly unparalleled power in the New World, and the scope of his threat is immense for New World standards. He's just unlucky enough to run into Ainz.
  • That Man Is Dead: Whenever Clementine calls him Dale he insists that that name means nothing to him anymore.
  • This Cannot Be!: Repeatedly when Nabe destroys his Skeletal Dragons using tier 7 spells that pierce through their magic immunity.
  • Underestimating Badassery: He believes that "Nabe" would be easy pickings for his Skeletal Dragons, since she can't harm them when she held back to use only tier 3 spells. Once she stops holding back to reveal herself as what she actually is, she makes very short work on him and his dragon summons by using tier 7 spells that pierce through the dragon's immunity.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He's on the verge of having a Freak Out when his perfect plan, that he spent 5 years working up to, is upturned in the span of five minutes by Nabe.

    Clementine 
Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Japanese), Mikaela Krantz (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clemen2.jpg

A giggling psychopath, a rogue warrior from Zuranon, and a former member of the Black Scripture, the strongest scripture in the Slane Theocracy. She recruited Khajiit as extra muscle in her plan to kidnap Nfirea Bareare, claiming because she wanted to see what would happen if she forced him to wear a magical artifact, though it was probably more to destroy E-Rantel. She's effectively a rogue who hits hard and fast with her magic knives and Martial Arts Skills.

She has A Day in the Limelight in the form of a Pure Pure Pleiades Spin-Off, called "Clementine the Fugitive," where she is revived following her fight with Ainz, albeit traumatized, and while trying to escape the kingdom, runs into the Pleiades, and gets horrifically maimed in every encounter. At the end of the last episode, she snaps after seeing Ainz as Momon effortlessly throwing a boulder away. She is last seen sitting on a rock while staring blankly, completely unresponsive, and can only mutter that "The flowers are beautiful."


  • Adaptational Heroism: Her original incarnation is portrayed thoroughly as a vicious bandit and is an Arc Villain who dies in one chapter. In Mass for the Dead, after being saved by a good samaritan during a Chaos Beast's assault on E-Rantel, said samaritan advocated she help others. She evidently took those words to heart as by the time the protagonist and Nazarick meet her, she's pulled a Heel–Face Turn and is revered as a saintess beloved by the people.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: Despite being one of the strongest people in the New World and is presumably stronger than Gazef, she's quickly made the starter dish for Ainz to show off how horrific a level 100 player is in front of the New World where a level 30 NPC is considered legendary.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Clementine is very boastful about having reached the Realm of Heroes, which essentially means she is one of the few who have passed the normal limit for a human, and openly mentions there are only a small handful of warriors in Re-Estize Kingdom who are even a worthy challenge. This makes her status as a psychotic, rogue criminal even worse considering no human inhabitant in the New World could actually stop her. Unfortunately, for Ainz, she's just the starter dish.
  • Ascended Extra: She's a fairly minor antagonist in the series, but she's been brought back for spinoffs and even became the star of her own game. It's because of her status as one of the Ms. Fanservice and her vile nature making her a very good target for constant punishment.
  • Ax-Crazy: She didn't need to kill several of the people she did; she just wanted to. When Khajiit called her on disrupting the plan she tried to kill him, but he was more than aware of her personality.
  • Back from the Dead: The Fugitive Clementine OVAs is about Clementine coming back from her death and attempting to leave Re-Estize Kingdom while interacting with the Pleiades. The second episode reveals that her revival has damaged her, though.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. She beats herself into a bloody mess and loses a good number of teeth trying to escape Ainz's crushing bear hug.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: In "Clementine the Fugitive," she wants to avoid meeting Ainz again. After going mad from meeting the Pleiades and Momon again, she suffers a nervous breakdown and stops caring about anything. Ainz meanwhile can't recognize Clementine post-breakdown, stating that she's "too pure" and just walks by. In effect, she can never meet Ainz again because her mind shattered.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Combined with High-Pressure Blood and Overdrawn at the Blood Bank as part of her death, literally at Ainz's hands.
  • Breakout Character: Despite being a Arc Villain criminal who's dead within a single chapter in the original Light Novel (and all of its adaptations), she gets put in spinoffs that portrays her in a more sympathetic manner.
  • Chainmail Bikini:
    • A bit more concealing than the usual type, but still conspicuous in the large amount of cleavage revealed. Justified by her personality and actions: her "armor" is either made of or plated with the adventuring plates of those she had slain. Additionally, since Clementine's fighting style consists of blindingly fast dashes, a full set of armor would probably have been too cumbersome.
    • She does actually own a set of magic equipment that is YGGDRASIL gear; however, she was not able to steal it along with the Crown of Wisdom when she left her home country.
  • Charm Person: She demonstrated that her knives can do this, just in one instance on a worker after she stabbed him.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: Her favorite pastime, right after wanton murder.
  • Creepy Souvenir: Whenever she kills an adventurer, she takes their guild plate and attaches it to her armor. Given that her armor is laden with these plates, it can be inferred that the number of victims she has killed realms from the high dozens to hundreds.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: Because Clementine has reached the Realm of Heroes, she doesn't suffer from this as badly as others. She is perfectly capable of engaging in regular melee combat; however, she highly specializes in stacking speed + evasion Martial Arts skills to stab vital points for a quick death. This works well against the living, but not so much against the undead, who are not susceptible to such tactics.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Ainz very, very slowly crushes her to death with his bare hands as she screams in terror and struggles in vain to break free.
  • Cute and Psycho: She's cute, busty, and wears a Chainmail Bikini. Too bad her face is usually distorted by a too-wide grin because she's laughing at her latest victim. By the end of "Clementine the Fugitive", the "Psycho" part no longer applies.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Hits it hard at the end of "Clementine the Fugitive", where after seeing Ainz effortlessly toss a boulder, she snaps, and is left sitting by the side of the road without a care in the world.
  • Foreshadowing: In the Light Novel, Khajiit points out that her usual method of going for an opponent's vital points for a quick kill are useless against the undead. Later, when she tries this against Ainz (not knowing he isn't human), her strategy does indeed prove totally ineffective (that said, his High Tier Physical Nullification and his unusually high base level for New World standards probably also helps).
  • Fragile Speedster: She's essentially a rogue, so her primary tactic generally amounts to stacking a bunch of speed and evasion buffs on herself before lunging at her enemies and going for the vitals. To compensate for this, one of her Martial Arts does allow her to block Momon's powerful sword strikes with ease, so she's got defensive buffs to mitigate her fragility, and as the equivalent of a level 40+ NPC in YGGDRASIL, she doesn't have many natural foes who can stop her. Unfortunately for her, Ainz has no vitals and is around 60 levels higher than her, making this tactic useless when he decides to go out of his hide to directly fight her.
  • Freak Out: Once she realizes Ainz is a lich who completely outclassed her, and that he intended to crush her to death in his arms, she reacted with fury and panic. While her reaction was understandable, it was a well-earned execution.
  • Freudian Excuse: Briefly discussed as she slays a worker; ultimately averted as a pile of lies, she just likes killing.
  • Giggling Villain: Seems barely able to hold back her giggles while talking, sometimes breaking down mid-sentence for a bout.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: A played for laugh version happens in the Fugitive Clementine OVAs as a result of meeting the Pleiades and indirectly meeting Momon again, she loses all her confidence and sanity from their ridiculous powers, as well as realizing that they can disguise themselves as humans. In the end she just sits on a rock and stares into the sky, her face a blank and innocent slate, happy as can be and oblivious to anything else around her.
  • Good Feels Good: In Mass for the Dead, Clementine admits that becoming a saint was supposed to be temporary, but the gratitude of those she helped changed her mind.
  • Hate Sink: In the original light novel (or any of its adaptations), Clementine is seemingly made as unlikeable as possible just to make Ainz look like a hero, which is made worse since she's nigh-on unstoppable per New World standards. In spin-offs however, she's more likely to subvert this by being strictly Played for Laughs or getting an actual Heel–Face Turn.
  • Hero Killer: Literally. She would hunt down adventurers, kill them, and take their plates as trophies. She kills and tortures the Swords of Darkness and has likely did the same thing to hundreds of adventurers.
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard: Those trophies she collected came back to bite her hard, since they're used to track her down after she kidnaps Nfirea.
  • Ironic Name: Clementine comes from "clemens", meaning gentle or merciful. While it fits Saint Clementine from Mass for the Dead perfectly, mainline Clementine is anything but merciful. A clementine is also an orange citrus fruit.
  • Irony: In "Clementine the Fugitive", she wanted to avoid facing Ainz again. In the last episode, she snapped so hard, she will never be able to face him again and Ainz can't recognize her, as her face is "too pure".
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: She's cruel, murderous, smug, and many things don't go her way.
    • Her fate of being crushed to death while destroying her own face to break free is truly horrifying. However, it's tough to say that she didn't earn that fate.
    • She's reduced to a punching bag in the Pure Pure Pleiades OVA; each segment opens with her getting maimed by each Pleiades Maid in turn. From being electrocuted by Naberal Gamma's Lightning, being eaten by Solution Epsilon, to being disintegrated by CZ Delta's Wave-Motion Gun. Of particular note is when she falls into Lupusregina Beta's claws: Clementine is torn to shreds, healed back to life by cleric magic, and then torn to shreds again. Over and over and over.
    • The Fugitive Clementine OVAs is all about this. Each episode has her meet a pair of the Pleiades and suffers as a result. It ends with her being losing all her confidence and sanity, sitting on a rock and stares into the sky, her face a blank and innocent slate, happy as can be and oblivious to anything else around her.
      • In the first episode, she gets horribly drunk and nearly suffers from alcohol poisoning by accepting Lupusregina's challenge, before being rammed into barrels and a wall thanks to Yuri. She's saved, but has a terrible hangover and vomits profusely.
      • The second episode, Solution reveals that her revival has damaged her, with her memories fuzzy and her body instinctively doing unusual things (i.e., she comes across the bar she got wasted in during episode 1, and immediately decides to go in with a derpy look on her face), and her skills have drastically decreased too. When she comes across more Pleiades, she decides to trust them immediately, and gets swarmed by Entoma's bugs before having her memories erased.
      • By the third episode, she stops her internal monologue as she is that tired, and when she comes to the same bar as before, recognizes Narberal as Nabe, realizes that the people she met are a part of the same group, and while trying to flee, convinces Shizu to help her and gets rocketed away, traumatizing her further while learning that she serves under someone even more powerful. Cue the above after seeing Momon toss a massive, magical boulder. Hilariously, her breakdown actually spares her from facing Ainz again, as he can't recognize her blank, "pure" face.
    • In Overlord: Escape from Nazarick, Clementine awakens in Nazarick with her weapons and memeories gone. Ainz appears and tells her she's part of an experiment, and she has to search the great tomb to find her missing memories, and escape. After going through Nazarick and killing Ainz, she finally makes it out of Nazarick to encounter... Overlord Ainz. The "Ainz" she fought was a copy, as was everything else she fought in Nazarick. Ainz thanks her for the information he gathered from the experiment, but feels she has more to offer, so he kills her to run the experiment again, while implying this wasn't her first trip through Nazarick. Finally averted in the Golden Ending, obtained by collecting all the memory fragments. Ainz allows her to leave no worse for the wear and no strings attached. Of course, unknown to Clementine, it's for his own agenda, but even that doesn't seem to include any more torture for her, so far.
  • Karmic Death: Ainz decides to drag her death much longer than is necessary specifically because she always did the same to her victims. He even notes that he wanted to do worse by killing her using Ninya's Blade of Darkness knife, but went with crushing her because he didn't have the necessary skill to actually duel her using the knife.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Her tendency to brutally torture and murder innocent people caught up to her in a very big way.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Aside from the fact that she's a deranged killer, Clementine is very attractive, and knows it. This makes it all the more ironic — not to mention fully deserved — when she ends up suffering two counts of Death by Disfigurement after she destroys her own face trying to punch and bite Ainz in a fit of crazed desperation when he catches her in a Killer Bear Hug, before her body is graphically crushed to death in his arms.
  • Oh, Crap!: When her enchanted weapons do next to nothing to Ainz, and she realizes the “hero” Momonga she’s been fighting the entire time is actually an Elder Lich in disguise. Unfortunately for her, it was a realization made far too late.
  • Psycho for Hire: She's a murder-happy assassin who loves to wear the plates of adventurers that she's killed. Unfortunately for her, this winds up backfiring when she killed the Swords of Darkness, and Ainz responds by bear-hugging her to death.
  • Rogue Agent: She's a former member of the Slane Theocracy's Black Scripture who is on the run after she abandoned the order and stole an artifact called the Crown of Wisdom from the Windblossom Scripture.
  • Serial Killer: By her flaunting of the Adventurer badges she kept as Creepy Souvenirs, she's already killed dozens of Adventurers at a bare minimum and likely more.
  • Slasher Smile: Pretty much her default facial expression.
  • Smug Snake: The girl is an incredibly arrogant bitch. Of course, she is justified in flaunting her skills, which are equaled by next to none in the New World. It's just that Momon is not from the New World.
  • The Sociopath: She doesn't care about the suffering she causes and only causes it because she wants to. She's incredibly arrogant about her skills (though not without good reason) and was revealed to have lied about having a Freudian Excuse for why she kills. She possesses no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
  • Spared by the Adaptation:
    • In the Spin-Off "Clementine the Fugitive", she was revived following her fight with Ainz, but is deeply traumatized, as shown when she refuses to go through a graveyard on the off-chance that Ainz would be there.
    • Overlord: Escape from Nazarick follows a somewhat similar plot, right down to her being implied to have gotten killed over and over again by Nazarick's denizens, all Doppelgangers impersonating Nazarick NPCs deployed to trick her. She's even further spared this time around in the Golden Ending, where Ainz simply lets her leave. She doesn't have any memory of the previous times she was killed so there's no more trauma. Ainz' own plans are for her to spread sincere disinformation about Nazarick's abilities, but that doesn't seem to involve torturing her any more.
  • Speed Blitz: Her finishing move is to buff herself with an array of physical enhancements so she can hit her enemies with a killing strike before they can even react. Against a lich more than twice her level, it's worthless.
  • The Starscream: Very blatantly just "using" Khajiit, and he sees right through her.
  • Starter Villain: Just like Khajiit, she's the first major villain Momon has to take down in his adventurer career. However, given Momon is actually Ainz, a level 100 player, she hardly even qualifies as a speedbump for him and he was only toying with her in his Momon outfit before he kills her in a single grip. That said, she's still a level 40+ entity and is way stronger than most who count for this trope and would likely annihilate E-Rantel and kill hundreds more completely unopposed if Ainz did not show up and intervene.
  • Verbal Tic: In Japanese dub, her voice begins to shudder whenever she's pissed off, even when she appears relatively calm, giving away the fact that she's mentally unstable.
  • Victor Steals Insignia: Clementine takes the guild rank insignias from the adventurers she murders, enough that her armor is actually made solely out of the things.
  • Villainous Breakdown:
    • She starts losing her composure when nothing she does seems to hurt Momon, and he still refuses to take her seriously. When he reveals himself as Ainz and catches her in lethal bear hug, she loses it entirely and begins beating herself into a bloody mess trying to escape his grip.
    • In the Spin-Off "Clementine the Fugitive", meeting the Pleiades and indirectly meeting Momon again has her snap and become a vegetable, smiling blankly while only muttering that the flowers are pretty.
  • Villain Protagonist: Of the ESCAPE FROM NAZARICK game where she was revived by Ainz and has to make her escape out from Nazarick by defeating its executives. In reality, the foes she fought prior were all fakes and Ainz was just toying with her to let her escape and have her spread fake information about his group.

Eight Fingers

An underground criminal coalition within the Re-Estize Kingdom, and lead by their Executive Council. Most of their executives are slaughtered by Sebas Tian and the survivors are now siding with the Sorcerer Kingdom.
    In General 
  • Adaptational Wimp: In the Light Novel, the Six Arms at least had a chance to attack Sebas, and he actually had to dodge Edström's attacks and was put on guard by Pesylian's attack just because his attacks resembled Touch Me's (at least until he knew that Pesylian can't actually harm him). In the anime, all of the ones fighting Sebas directly fall in quick succession after Davernoch dies without even a chance to duel him.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: Because of their political connections with Re-Estize's nobles and the Six Arms being equal to Admantite-rank adventurers in their native strength bracket, they were a virtually unstoppable and invincible cartel that none dared to get themselves involved with under the risk of extortion and blackmail threats, or even worse, being flat-out murdered on the spot. Unfortunately, not only do their underworld political games fall flat in front of the Great Tomb of Nazarick's NPCs who can't be reasoned, cocerced or fiancially blackmailed, the Six Arms are simply acres from being a match against even one of their Humanoid Abominations. It goes to the point where whoever survives the Nazarick attack against them immediately goes for a Heel–Face Turn once Nazarick takes over operations.
  • Being Tortured Makes You Evil: A rare inversion. They were evil before being tortured, and the shared misery combined with their shattered egos upon realizing how weak they are compared to Nazarick actually helped them grow some empathy. Not much, but more than they had.
  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Implied. One of the members of the Six Arms is an undead lich, which would otherwise have absolutely no place in human society because of their notorious reputation.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: They are hardened criminals responsible for a vast manner of atrocities between them. Even so none of them are willing to allow another person to receive the Cold-Blooded Torture that is Nazarick's "initiation" into their ranks. They believe that no one should have had to suffer as they had. Seeing them have empathy for other people is even more shocking than their current state after crossing the Despair Event Horizon.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: A dark twisted example. After being tortured in Nazarick to ensure their obedience, the leaders of Eight Fingers now consider each other close companions and trust each other more than anyone else. This is probably due to the fact that they have to rely on one another to complete their orders, they now have a bond no one else could understand, they are no longer masters but slaves, and powerful, supreme, godlike beings coming to conquer the world tends to put things into perspective with each of the leaders realizing that they were living in a tranquil bubble of safety (the common mundane issues of crime are nothing in comparison to the existential horror they are now facing) with the appearance of Nazarick being a cosmic horror story from their perspective.
  • Love Martyr: In a twisted sort of way, they rationalize the torture they suffered from Kyouhukou as being a "rite of passage" necessary to get into Nazarick's good graces. After Hilma personally sees how merciful Ainz is compared to the Floor Guardians, she becomes fervent in getting the rest of Eight Fingers to devote themselves to him in hopes that they can work their way up to being his direct subordinates rather than being forced to continue suffering under his sadistic minions.
  • The Mole: One of their favorite tactics to hold an iron fist on the nobles of the Kingdom was to hire and use their maids as spies.
  • Mugging the Monster: What sealed their downfall was the fact that they have literally no idea what they're dealing with when it comes to Sebas and Nazarick in general.
    • Because Sebas looks literally just like any other rich guy on the streets, the cartel thought he was just easy prey that they could extort for what's worth. Unfortunately, Sebas is actually a Humanoid Abomination that doesn't play by the rules: he retaliates by raiding one of their brothels until everyone inside is either dying or dead.
    • Their kidnapping of Tuare almost literally right after Ainz had declared her to be under his direct protection is the final nail in the coffin. Ainz Ooal Gown, a being who takes his Declaration of Protection very seriously, would not let them go unscathed. The end result is Sebas single-handedly annihilating all but one of the Six Arms and leaving the people who can't fight as pawns, Demiurge launching a full-blown demonic invasion to cover for Mare abducting the survivors and Kyohukou torturing them, and the fear of the incomprehensible horror of Nazarick turning them into useful pawns for the evil guild.
  • Purposefully Overpowered: For New World standards, the muscles working for the Six Arms are no jokes. Just one of them would single-handedly obliterate just about any person there and the strongest ones, approximately equal to a PL40 player in YGGDRASIL, can beat Re-Estize's strongest warriors if they aren't prepared for what they're facing.
  • A Shared Suffering: They now consider themselves companions with a strong bond of trust after going through the "Baptism" in Nazarick. It makes sense given that they are now essentially slaves serving Nazarick (albeit well treated slaves because they are also compensated for their work and more or less live their lives as normal people. Ainz has them treated more like employees and so long as they obey, the lords of Nazarick are more like bosses than slave-masters).
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Eight Fingers is less of a single organization than they are more like a poorly structured corporate conglomerate: each division acts as a separate entity that specializes in a particular area of crime, and prioritizes it's own welfare and profits above the whole. None of the eight organizations really like each other, the groups forming this organization are always trying to sabotage or steal from one another, and the fear of assassination is high amongst the leaders. The only organization with significant ties to the others (that isn't subversive or a form of espionage) is the Six Arms, which acts as a security division to the organization as a whole.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: They act like they're underworld lords from a crime drama and they would easily be legitimately threatening if this were such a show. Unfortunately, the work they are in sums up as "overpowered Villain Protagonist takes over the world and stampedes the heroes", so they just end up as one of the many victims on Nazarick's long list of kills and compromises.

Executive Council

Click here to see her post-torture

The leader of the drug trade department of the criminal organization, Eight Fingers.


  • Cold-Blooded Torture: On the receiving end of this courtesy of Aura and Mare. The only reason she didn't die was because her torturers used white magic to heal her. She is so broken by the ordeal that she sells out the rest of Eight Fingers without a thought. The rest of the organization leaders are terrified when they realize they will be broken in the same way.
  • The Corrupter: Many of the nobles in Re-Estize are under her thumb after visiting her establishment and being blackmailed, or made addicts to drugs.
  • Despair Event Horizon: She and the other members of Eight-Fingers were very close to it after being tortured in Nazarick but they weren't completely broken as afterwards, they thought of secretly contacting the adamantite adventurers in the kingdom for help. That is until they learned that the demon Jaldabaoth, who terrorized the kingdom and easily killed members of Blue Roses (an adamantite adventurer group) with no effort, and that he was under the control of the Sorcerer King who decimated the Kingdom's army with a single spell. After that, they realized how screwed they and the rest of the kingdom were. That beings of mythical power and resources had appeared to conquer and that they as mere humans could only bow their heads in servitude.
  • Empty Shell: While Hilma was by no means anything approaching innocent and she had done very horrible things, what she suffered at the hands of the denizens of Nazarick was more than a little unsettling. Apparently Mare took advantage of Demiurge's attack to throw her into Kyouhukou's lair, where his carnivorous roaches ate her from the inside out while Mare healed and/or resurrected her perfectly before she could die during the torture, and then repeated that multiple times across. The torture has left her a completely broken mess whose behavior is similar to a terrified, malnourished and beaten dog that can't even eat solid food anymore.
  • Fantastic Drug: She's in charge of trafficking a highly addictive opiate. Too bad Nazarick is completely immune to her wiles.
  • Maximum Fun Chamber: What the elf twins refer to Kyouhukou's room where Hilma was repeatedly tortured.
  • Poisonous Person: She can summon a highly toxic snake from her tattoo.
  • Power Tattoo: Once a day, she can magically summon a snake from it.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: Being a former high-class prostitute, this goes with the territory.
  • Tattooed Crook: She has a snake tattoo on her wrist.
  • Undying Loyalty: Towards Ainz when she finally meets him. After Philip's supreme act of stupidity in attacking carriages of the Sorcerer Kingdom containing grain for humanitarian aid, Hilma is hauled before Ainz in the company of all of the floor guardians. Being in the same room as so many mindbogglingly powerful creatures that would think nothing of torturing her for fun had Hilma trembling in absolute terror with her expecting death or worse for allowing Philip's idiocy to occur. To her absolute shock Ainz judges that she wasn't at fault for what happened as she had performed her duties to the best of her ability and Philip's suicidal stupidity was beyond any reasonable expectation. He concluded that it was her responsibility to write a report and come up with as many plans as she could to avoid such mistakes in the future. He stated that a first mistake should be forgiven because anyone can make mistakes and then asked all assembled if they had any suggestions or comments to add which could be useful and assured everyone that he would take no offense. Afterwards, upon returning home to her fellow eight-fingers heads, she wept Tears of Joy on how she had been spared and declared that the sorcerer king was a wise and benevolent ruler who could be merciless in his actions but only as needed and was fair in his judgements while rewarding the achievements of his servants. She declares that they need to work hard and hope that they can become Ainz’s direct subordinate instead of Albedo as she knows what would have happened if the decision was left up to her.
  • Unproblematic Prostitution: She actually liked being a high-class prostitute, and uses those "skills" to ensnare nobles and other people of power to the service of The Eight Fingers organization.
  • Weight Loss Horror: She grows noticeably emaciated after her torture from Kyouhukou leaves her unable to eat solid food, causing her to appear rather skeletal with the exception of her breasts.
  • Would Hurt a Child: The first thing she thought when she saw Mare is that he's a noble's "toy". When she realized that's not true, she tried to kill him. Not a smart idea as Mare is not a child but an Eldritch Abomination that can genocide entire cities in one spell. Not that staying away would have saved her either.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cocco_doll_profile.png

The leader of the slave trade department of the criminal organization, Eight Fingers.


  • Depraved Bisexual: Confirmed by Volume 6, chapter 7. He asked to be given, as a gift, both Climb (in Volume 5) and Tuare (In Volume 6) for his pleasures.
  • Non-Action Guy: Is never seen involved in combat.
  • Sissy Villain: He's slender, effeminate, dresses flamboyantly, and appears to be wearing Guyliner.
  • Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Still ran the slave trade in Re-Estize despite Princess Renner's edict banning the practice, out of certain brothels and gladiatorial arenas.
  • Unluckily Lucky: He was the only leader of Eight Fingers that was arrested. As such, he doesn't have the misfortune of coming into contact with Nazarick. No longer the case as of Volume 14 where he is "rescued" by Shalltear because the other leaders are worried they'll be punished if they don't tell Nazarick about him and dragged straight into Kyohukou's lair where he will assuredly be eaten by his cockroaches.

    Zero 
Voiced by: Rintarou Nishi (Japanese), Dave Woodward (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/overlord_ii_ep09_143.png

The leader of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. An unarmed fighter who uses enchanted animal spirit tattoos to enhance his abilities.


  • Animalistic Abilities: Zero has the Shamanic Adept class, which let's him call out the names of different animals (which manifest as glowing tattoos) to give himself corresponding stat boosts. Unfortunately for him, he's dealing with Sebas, one of Nazarick's executive NPCs who are magnitudes more powerful than even the best the New World has to offer and Sebas promptly offs him in one hit after taking no damage from his ultimate attack.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Thinks he's the World's Strongest Man and fittingly, he could easily give Brain a tough match. Unfortunately, he is still grossly underpowered in front of Sebas.
  • Badass Boast: He claims to be the strongest in the kingdom, equal to an Admantite-rank adventurer and could really give Brain a tough match. Whether or not he can actually go toe-to-toe against Gazef Stronoff, who is the actual strongest in the kingdom, and win is not known.
  • Bald of Evil: Not a hair on his head, and he's a really nasty cartel executive.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Doesn't use any weapons to fight.
  • Begin with a Finisher: He starts his "fight" against Sebas using his strongest attack right away, taking Sebas at his word that he killed the other Six Arms without a scratch and treating him as a formidable foe accordingly. This would have instantly evaporated any other denizen of the New World, but too bad for him, Sebas is a level 100 apocalyptic abomination while he's "just" an estimated high level-40, so the attack fails to do anything against him and the "butler" kills him with one kick.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Is on the receiving end of a mostly literal one from Sebas Tian, who ends his life with a heel kick to the head.
  • Good Powers, Bad People: He's a ki-master monk with Shamanic tattoos, yet he's a very depraved and hardened mafia boss.
  • Hunk: Very tall and muscular. He'd be very attractive if he wasn't a despicable mafia boss.
  • The Leader: He's the leader of the Six Arms which provides security for the Eight Fingers.
  • Lightning Bruiser: His tattoos enhance both his strength and his speed, making him a well-rounded combatant that stands on a higher level than the other members of the Six Arms, many of whom suffer from either Crippling Overspecialization (Malmvist and Edstrom are Fragile Speedster Glass Cannons, Davernoch is a Squishy Wizard) or being a Master of None (Succulent is a strange illusionist/fighter hybrid whose edge in combat can be easily shut down by opponents who are savvy to his gimmicks).
  • Magic Knight: A Bare-Fisted Monk who also knows shamanic magic. However, as far as we know, his magic seems to be entirely focused on enhancing his body, so at the end of the day, he's still purely a physical combatant.
  • Megaton Punch: The attack he uses against Sebas is this. It would've been impressive against anyone else, but unfortunately for him Sebas just tanks it like he got poked in the chest.
  • My Hero, Zero: He's not a hero and is instead an evil criminal, but his name is Zero and he's an expert fighter and a high-ranked criminal enforcer.
  • Power Tattoo: They glow when he uses his Shamanic Magic.
  • Red Baron: He is known as the "Fighting Devil".
  • Super-Strength: His gimmick is that he's not only extremely tough, but extremely powerful, being able to actually threaten Brain in a one-on-one duel. For New World standards, this is one of the reasons why ordinary people don't dare speaking against the Eight Fingers. For Nazarick (in particular, Sebas) however, he's a small fry.
  • Super-Toughness: He can clash with Brain's katana and end up almost unscathed. He's still no match for Sebas, though.
  • Tattooed Crook: He's got a lot of tattoos, and he's a vicious cartel executive.
  • This Cannot Be!:
    • Downplayed when Sebas declares that he defeated the other members of the Six Arms. Zero understandably doubts that claim at first, given their strength, but Sebas standing before him unarmed and completely serious it convinces Zero that Sebas really did it, and he treats Sebas with the seriousness that feat deserves.
    • Though not verbatim, the look on his face when Sebas shrugs off his most powerful attack is this.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Zig-zagged. On the one hand, he does reluctantly believe that Sebas killed the other members of the Six Arms without suffering so much as a scratch, which would mark him as the most dangerous man in the room. On the other hand, Zero still thinks he can beat Sebas despite that, so he either thinks rather poorly of the four Sebas defeated or is that proud of his own strength, most likely the latter.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He tried to extort Sebas by abducting Tuare and using her as a bargaining chip. This was the only mistake required for the entire Eight Fingers to be annihilated or absorbed by Nazarick, and set off the chain of events that led to Nazarick annihilating Re-Estize.
  • We Can Rule Together: Tried to offer Brain Unglaus to join the Eight Fingers. Much like Succulent's attempt, it didn't work which pisses him off.
  • What the Hell Are You?: Mutters this to Sebas with his last breath after the butler shrugs off the cartel executive's ultimate attack and ends his life with a single heel kick.

Six Arms

    Succulent 
Voiced by: Atsushi Imaruoka (Japanese), Chuck Huber (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/overlord_ii_ep07_128.png

A member of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. An unorthodox fencer who also uses basic illusion spells to disorient and confuse his opponents.


  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: His unorthodox fighting style of combining illusion magic and swordplay has him very confident in himself. Unfortunately, it amounts to using cheap tricks to compensate for the him not being a very good swordsman. While effective against low-tier fighters like Climb, somebody like Brain Unglaus outclassed him several times over and had a simple counter to Succulent's tricks.
  • Creepy Crossdresser: He tries to use his magic to impersonate Tuare, but he doesn't imitate her clothes. So the second time he fights Climb, he was fighting him in maid clothing. Climb was somewhat disturbed by this.
  • Curb Stomp Cushion: Defeating Climb wasn't as easy as he thought it would be in Volume 5. Gets curbstomped in the rematch in Volume 6 because Climb was well aware of his tricks.
  • Decoy Damsel: Used his magic to impersonate Tuare, allowing him to fight Climb and Brain alongside Zero. He gets defeated by Climb before Sebas reveals that he's already rescued the real Tuare (who was kept in the building that he infiltrated after killing the Six Arms and not the cell Climb and Brain were infiltrating).
  • Groin Attack: At the receiving end thanks to Climb with a metal boot to the family jewels. Lockmeier even winches after he does this.
  • Master of Illusion: His primary battle tactic is to create copies of himself to disorient foes, although "master" is a bit of an overstatement.
  • Master of None: Because his levels are split 50/50 between swordfighting and illusion magic, he's not actually a very good fighter nor a particularly good mage. His tactic relies on overwhelming enemies with trickery before they wise up.
  • Mugging the Monster: He taunts Sebas Tian over Tuare, trying to needle him into bartering Solution (who was posing as Sebas's employer at the time). They don't come to blows, but he sent assassins after Sebas, which makes him the architect of his own downfall.
  • Red Baron: Known as the "Phantom Devil" for his illusion-based fighting style.
  • Smug Snake: Take away his tricks and overbloated ego and he's not so tough, since he's stated to be the weakest among the Six Arms and can be taken down by even New World residents.
  • Villain Decay: In the first fight he's featured in, he defeats Climb and it takes Brain, a Man of Kryptonite to him, to defeat him. In his second fight, he is dressed in maid clothing as part of a Decoy Damsel plot (reducing his power and ruining any chance he had of being taken seriously), on top of that, Climb has backup from Lockmeier the rogue, who is no stranger to dirty tricks himself, and together, they absolutely hand Succulent his sorry posterior.
  • We Can Rule Together: He tries this on Brain Unglaus. It didn't work due to Brain getting Character Development after meeting Shalltear Bloodfallen, Sebas, and Climb.

    Davernoch 
Voiced by: Shun'ichi Maki (Japanese), Greg Dulcie (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/davernoch.png

A member of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. An undead lich specializing in destructive elemental magic, namely the third-tier spells Fireball and Lightning Bolt.


  • Crystal Ball: He is usually seen with one in his left hand, though it's not for prophecy but rather for boosting his signature spells.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: While the four of the Six Arms who faced Sebas were disposed of pretty quickly, the "battle" between him and Sebas can't even be called a battle at all since Sebas kills him instantly in a single hit before Davernoch can react.
  • Dem Bones: He's a "natural" lich, though his appearance is closer to that of a zombie than a skeleton like Momonga. Justified, since Momonga's appearance is mostly a part of character customization while Davernoch is a New World native.
  • Only in It for the Money: Inverted. He wanted funds to help elevate his powers, and went from bandit, to adventurer (at which he was kicked out because of racism from his bandmates) and then Zero recruited him to the Six Arms.
  • Playing with Fire: His main offensive spell is Fireball.
  • Red Baron: Deconstructed. He calls himself "Undying King", but that's one of Ainz's titles. Of course given Ainz is a lot stronger than he is, Sebas is understandably pissed off and kills him first.
  • Token Non-Human: He's the only member of the Six Arms that's explicitly stated to be undead.
  • Unfortunate Names: An unusual sort. The only unfortunate thing about his nickname, "the Undying King" is that he shares it with Ainz, whose importance is so great to Nazarick that any sullying of his name is grounds for instant death with the power and skills to boot. Sebas takes this as a huge insult and kills him before Davernoch can even do anything.
    Sebas: "Undying King", you say? An overblown title for a fool such as you!
  • Your Head Asplode: Sebas deals with him via a punch so strong it reduces his head to a splatter of blood.

    Pesylian 
Voiced by: Shota Yamamoto (Japanese), Randy E. Aguebor (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peshurian.png

A member of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. The most heavily armored member of the group, he is lither in combat than his bulky heavy armor would suggest thanks to his signature Whip Sword.


  • Armor Is Useless: He wears the heaviest armor of all Six Arms (the others were all armored very lightly or not at all). Sebas didn't have any more difficulty punching his head into giblets than any of the others.
  • Calling Your Attacks: He utilizes an attack he calls "Void Cutter", which is why Sebas takes about 20 seconds to kill him and the 3 members of the Six Arms in the light novel. This is because Touch Me, Sebas's creator, used The Power of the Void for several abilities, so this attack name gave Sebas pause. In reality, though, it's just called that because his Whip Sword can attack from odd angles, not because he is literally cleaving through the fabric of space, and Pesylian is so underleveled that he can't actually harm Sebas anyways, so he gets quickly obliterated like the others.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Got one from Sebas Tian.
  • Red Baron: "Void Executioner" Pesylian, for his Whip Sword that seems to strike out of nowhere.
  • Shout-Out: His Whip Sword is made out of a metal named after an actual Real Life weapon, the Indian Urumi.
  • This Cannot Be!: When Sebas Tian stopped his "unstoppable" technique, with two fingers!
  • Villainous Valour: He realizes too late that Sebas wasn't bluffing about his strength after the latter killed two of his comrades in seconds. He attacks Sebas anyway since he'd rather die fighting than die fleeing.
  • Whip Sword: The true trick behind his "dimension slashing" technique.
  • Your Head Asplode: Sebas obliterates his head with one punch.

    Malmvist 
Voiced by: Hiromichi Tezuka (Japanese), Tyler Carson (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/overlord_ii_ep11_055.png

A member of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. A duelist rogue wielding an exceptionally lethal sword, he specializes in landing the first (and last) blow of the battle.


  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Quite literally from Sebas Tian.
  • Glass Cannon: His rapier is covered in deadly poisons and has two enchantments on it that turn even the lightest scratch into a severe wound that mangles the flesh. He also has one of the deadliest lunging attacks in the Kingdom and could easily kill Brain or Gazef in one hit if they don't have the right equipment. But he wears only light armor and lacks skill at fencing, so his entire fighting style consists of landing the first blow and making sure that blow is also the last.
  • I Call It "Vera": Named his rapier "Rose Thorn".
  • Laughing Mad: In the Light Novel, He laughs madly as he steals Sebas's gloves and tried to rationalize that they are magic items giving him supernatural powers, only to be killed in a single hit anyways.
  • Lovable Rogue: As a handsome young man wearing a flashy matador-like armor, he's clearly trying to project this vibe. His rapier even has a hilt in the shape of a rose.
  • Poisoned Weapons: His rapier is not only poisoned, but also enchanted to dramatically aggravate any wound made with it.
  • Red Baron: "Thousand Kills" Malmvist. Pretty self-explanatory, really.
  • This Cannot Be!: When Sebas Tian performs a Barehanded Blade Block with one finger and the rapier bent from the strain.
  • Toros y Flamenco: His choice of weapon and clothing are designed after a stereotypical Spanish Matador.
  • Villainous Breakdown: In the Light Novel, he's shocked in disbelief at seeing Sebas effortlessly demolish his comrades, causing him to rant that the butler must be using a magic item to beat them. He just can't process how one person can kill all four of them in seconds. In the Anime, this is averted since Sebas kills him in quick succession after killing Davernoch.
  • Your Head Asplode: The third member of Six Arms to suffer this fate from Sebas.

    Edström 
Voiced by: Eriko Matsui (Japanese), Haileigh Todd (English) Foreign VAs
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edstrm_anime.png

The sole female member of the Six Arms, the security department of the criminal organization Eight Fingers. Wears absolutely no armor, but is able to control five floating scimitars at once with her mind, giving her a significant edge over any melee combatant.


  • Adaptational Wimp: In the Light Novel, after Edström was beheaded, her scimitars continued to move on their own and Sebas had to make an effort to dodge them. In the anime, Sebas just popped her off like the rest of the Six Arms.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: A dark example. Instead of punching her head to bloody giblets like he did to the other members of the Six Arms, Sebas slashes her head off with his hand so her face is not damaged.
  • Dance Battler: Lampshaded. Her scimitars have "Dance" magic imbued in them. This is simultaneously likely a reference to the fact that Flying Weapons are referred to as "dancing" in many tabletops and video games.
  • Dead Man's Trigger Finger: Her scimitars keep going for a few seconds after her death.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: In Mass of The Dead, she is disgusted that Jircvin would sacrifice her allies for his own gain and that Zero actually approved it.
  • Flying Weapon: Controls five of them.
  • Glass Cannon: With her five dancing scimitars, she can attack much faster than a regular warrior, strike more targets simultaneously, and may have greater range. However she wears absolutely no armor. Likely also a Fragile Speedster.
  • Losing Your Head: Subverted. For several moments, after being beheaded, she moves her lips, trying to speak, but can say nothing as she's no longer connected to her lungs and throat, and she's completely aware of what's going on as she slowly dies.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: An unusual example, instead of having many arms she uses five scimitars with the "dancing" enchantment simultaneously.
  • Off with Her Head!: Sebas chops her head off so quickly she didn't even realize she was dead until she saw her own beheaded body.
  • Red Baron: "Dancing Scimitar" Edström, after her Flying Weapons.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the Six Arms.
  • Stripperiffic: Exaggerated. There is clearly not even an attempt at armor here. She's dressed in light silk clothes that make her look more like a belly dancer than a fighter.
  • Sultry Belly Dancer: Dressed up in what appears to be a dancer bikini and is said to be a dancer fit for an RPG setting.
  • Tattooed Crook: Has a tattoo of a dragon.

Others

    Staffan Heivish 
Voiced by: Yutaka Aoyama (Japanese), Jeremy Inman (English)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/staffan_hevish.png

A guard of the city watch who was "friendly" with the Eight Fingers organization, particularly the slave peddling sector.


  • Asshole Victim: He was a corrupt official who enjoyed raping and murdering sex slaves, and it's actually cathartic when Sebas kills him.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Sebas inflicts a relatively slow and agonizing death on him by punching him in the gut hard enough to rupture his organs and leaving him to bleed out.
  • Dirty Cop: Sided with Succulent to extort Sebas Tian regarding Tuare. Unfortunately for him, Sebas Tian is no "rich butler" but a horrific Eldritch Abomination that can't be coerced or embargoed by money.
  • Dirty Coward: Is stated to have no problems beating up helpless women, but screams and tries to run like a sissy if he sees someone who has no qualms fighting back.
  • Disposable Sex Worker: To prove just how nasty he is, he is shown raping a woman and beating her to a bloody pulp as a fetish in an Eight Fingers brothel.
  • Dramatic Irony: He also has thoughts of trying to beat and rape Solution Epsilon like he did with other women. He doesn't know anything about her, but for all we know, if he ever managed to go near her, he would just be asking to be eaten like Zack before him.
  • Entitled Bastard: Believes it's his right to take women and combine beating/raping them to death for his fetish. In fact, he bemoans that if he hadn't been introduced to the Eight Fingers brothel, he would have had to kidnap women off the streets and take his lusts out on them, and then only because kidnapping is a crime, and he might actually get in trouble for the kidnapping, not for anything else.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Doesn't even understand why someone would be angry at seeing women beaten and raped to death.
  • Fan Disservice: Sebas finds him just after Staffan finished beating and raping a woman, giving him no time to dress. The scene is hardly titillating since Staffan is morbidly obese and the woman has been beaten to some sort of bloody pulp.
  • Fat Bastard: He's not only seriously overweight, but is also a truly nightmarish and despicable rapist, Dirty Cop and sexual abuser.
  • Has a Type: A very creepy example. He seems to prefer using blonde girls because they remind him of Princess Renner, whom he despises for ending the slave trade. When he beats them, he imagines Renner in their place. Tuare was a past victim, and he desires Solution as well.
  • Hate Sink: Was intentionally made to be so corrupt and despicable to represent how corrupt the Re-Estize Kingdom is and is one of the criminals that deserve being killed by Nazarick.
  • Karmic Death: His fetish involved beating women and leaving them to die. Sebas beats his brothel and him to a bloody pulp.
  • Manchild: He's a fat bastard who has the childish desire to beat down and kill women and is only restrained for needing to pay a penalty fee to the Kingdom.
  • Mugging the Monster: Tries to extort Sebas by charging him of false slavery crimes when he saves Tuare and mistaking him for a completely mundane rich butler that he can freely extort. Little does he know that Sebas is not an easy cut of fine meat but a Humanoid Abomination who can kill him in one flick of a finger, and his response to being extorted is to cleave a bloody path through the brothel he's in. He also has thoughts about trying to beat and rape Solution Epsilon, unaware that he would just be inviting her to eat him for fun at that point.
  • Never My Fault: When confronted, and beaten, by an enraged Sebas Tian, he can't comprehend what he did wrong. Not the raping, not the beating, not the extortion, none of it.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: To an absolutely horrific degree. He has a fetish for beating up the women he's sleeping with, except that he doesn't keep healing potions on hand and only doesn't beat them to death because he had to pay a sum for it.
  • Spoiled Brat: Sebas Tian slapping him in the face is the first time he's ever faced corporal punishment, and his response is explicitly stated to be like a scolded child.
  • Straw Hypocrite: He's only pretending to stand against slavery for Renner because he was trying to extort and blackmail Sebas (he's an ally of the slave-peddling sector himself), and he actually hates Renner to the point that it becomes an obsessive fetish. He's also "against" beating his women to death, but it's only because if he did he had to pay a hefty fee.
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Staffan enjoyed beating women to death while having sex with them, then leaving them to die once he's had his fun. Sebas gives him a similar treatment by slapping him bloody before rupturing his organs and leaving him to die a slow, painful death.
  • Undignified Death: After kicking Steffan hard enough to rupture his innards, Sebas leaves him him to die alone, nude and in horrible pain.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The downfall of the Eight Fingers and later, the Re-Estize Kingdom began when he extorted Sebas and mistook him for a rich butler. Zero's abduction of Tuare was the final straw.
  • Would Hit a Girl: His fetish involves beating a woman to make her scream, beat her some more until the screaming stops, then beat her until she can't move any more before finally raping her, and then after thoroughly violating her, leaving her to die. He hates Princess Renner ending the slave trade specifically because he can no longer buy slaves for this purpose.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: He would be a legitimately threatening Starter Villain in a crime drama or Picaresque. Unfortunately, he's in Overlord, so he pisses off the wrong people and gets beaten to a bloody pulp by an unreasonable Humanoid Abomination.

Death Spreading Brigade

A criminal organization in the Re-Estize Kingdom.
    In General 
  • Always a Bigger Fish:
    • They came to Shalltear's attention, who effectively destroyed the entire organization within the span of a night.
    • Coincidentally, Shalltear's attack was just a short span of time before a party of Adventurers came to scout their hideout. Said Adventurers were implied to be working as a support element for a military group of the Slane Theocracy, who were likely coming to stamp out the Brigade.
  • Asshole Victim: To the last man.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: It's mentioned that they have raped women on multiple occasions.
  • Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: They had a large "prison" full of women that they planned to sell.

A member of the criminal organization Death Spreading Brigade.
  • Exact Words: He told the Nazarick maid, Solution, that he would like to be "inside her". She swallowed him whole.
  • Freudian Excuse: His beloved younger sister was sold to become a slave by their parents while he was conscripted to the war. He still tries to find her whenever he goes to brothels.
  • The Mole: He would go into towns and cities as a coachman, find rich people for the gang to target, and then lure them into ambushes. Sebas Tian used that against him.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Stopping to grope Solution, who was in the company of monsters killing his bandit party, was a really bad idea. He didn't even have a rational reason to do so.

    Brain Unglaus 
A mercenary who lived to get stronger and be the best with a sword. He signed on with the Death Spreading Brigade, as he believed it was a contract that would garner him a great number of fights to test himself with. After challenging Shalltear, Brain fled and deserted after realizing their difference in power, and became the Brigade's sole survivor because of it.
For tropes relating to Brain Unglaus, see his page under the "Others" section of the Re-Estize Kingdom of the Human Kingdoms page.
