List of Overlord (novel series) characters
This is a list of characters appearing in the novel series Overlord, written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by so-bin, and its anime and manga adaptations.
Great Tomb of Nazarick
The Great Tomb of Nazarick (ナザリック 地下大墳墓, Nazarikku Chika Dai Funbo), usually referred to as Nazarick, is the guild headquarters of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン, Ainzu Ūru Goun) in YGGDRASIL. Because it was a PK guild, there were many attempts to conquer the dungeon, all of which ended in failure.
After Nazarick was transported to the New World with Ainz and its custom NPCs, who became sentient as a result, the former began strengthening the tomb and collect information to protect it from possible threats. However, the NPCs mistook his intentions as preparing to take over the New World and began making their own plans. By the time Ainz realized this it was too late and he had no choice but to play along. This eventually led to Nazarick becoming its own nation, the Sorcerer Kingdom (魔導国, Madō Kuni).
- Ainz Ooal Gown (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン, Ainzu Ūru Goun) / Momonga (モモンガ)
- Voiced by: Satoshi Hino (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Chris Guerrero (English)
- The protagonist/main character and the only remaining member of the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. Originally he was a simple salaryman playing a VR online game, but after he was transported to the New World, he decides to make himself a legend in hopes of finding his old guildmates. To facilitate his search, he changes his name from Momonga to Ainz Ooal Gown. While Ainz initially accidentally set Nazarick on a course for world domination after a comment he made was misinterpreted, he slowly grows into his role as a leader after deciding to create a kingdom where humans and non-humans are equal. As he has the form of a lich, he doesn't need to eat or sleep, can't be poisoned or killed by conventional means, but also has his emotions and empathy suppressed, Ainz remembers having a "heart" and thus keeps his humanity in practice. Because of his formerly high level in YGGDRASIL, he can easily overpower even the strongest of magic casters in the New World; and while he lacks the skills of natural warriors, he compensates for it with raw strength. Over time, he has learnt how to improve fighting with physical weapons, but his greatest asset remains his strength. Ainz also has access to a wide variety of instant death and summoning spells which, though ineffective against fellow players, work very well against the inhabitants of the New World. He also has an array of items he purchased with real money back in YGGDRASIL, which give him abilities ranging from summoning extremely high level items (most of which belong to his guildmates) from the Guild's bank to instantly casting a spell that usually has a long casting time. When Ainz travels as an adventurer, he uses the alias "Momon" which later becomes "Momon the Dark Hero". In the CD drama #2, his real name is revealed to be Satoru Suzuki.
Floor Guardians
The Floor Guardians (階層守護者, Kaisō Gādian) are a group of NPCs who act as bosses. They are among the most powerful beings in Nazarick, with some even exceeding Ainz in terms of pure stats.
Upon coming to the New World, they came to life with personalities based on their backstories. They also gained great influence over Nazarick's affairs due to each of them being the leader of their respective floor. However, they remain absolutely loyal to Ainz; though this does not stop some of them from missing the other Supreme Beings/their creators.
- Albedo (アルベド, Arubedo)
- Voiced by: Yumi Hara (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Elizabeth Maxwell (English)
- A succubus and the overseer of the Floor Guardians. She takes the form of a beautiful woman with black wings and horns wearing a white dress. Her beautiful and kind appearance hides her dark personality underneath. She was originally set to be a bitch, but Ainz modified her to be deeply in love with him as a joke. As a result, upon coming to the New World, she became madly in love with him. To her great shame as a succubus, Albedo is a virgin; humorously she wishes to sleep with Ainz despite the fact it's impossible. She despises humans, viewing them as "lower lifeforms". She similarly harbors a secret hatred towards the other members of the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild for leaving Ainz. While in battle, she wears a suit of armor called Hermes Trismegistus, which repels any physical damage, and fights using a bardiche. She also possesses the World Item Ginnungagap, which can be used to devastate large areas.
- Shalltear Bloodfallen (シャルティア・ブラッドフォールン, Sharutia Buraddofōren)
- Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Felecia Angelle (English)
- The Guardian of the First, Second, and Third floors of Nazarick. She takes on the form of a beautiful vampire girl. She is set to be somewhat of a pervert and a necrophile, causing her to fall for Ainz and putting her at odds with Albedo. She is the most powerful Floor Guardian in terms of overall stats, optimized for both melee and magic combat. Due to an incident where she was brainwashed by the Slane Theocracy, she unintentionally rebelled against Nazarick until she was killed by Ainz and later resurrected. Afterwards, she ended up blaming herself for her actions, even though she had no control of it; despite her poison resistance, she spent time trying to get drunk. While she has since recovered somewhat, she maintains a constant sense of uncertainty and caution, while also belittling herself.
- Aura Bella Fiora (アウラ・ベラ・フィオーラ, Aura Bera Fiōra)
- Voiced by: Emiri Katō (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Jill Harris (English)
- One of the Guardians of the Sixth floor of Nazarick, alongside her twin brother Mare. She takes on the form of a young Dark Elf who cross-dresses as a boy. She is also very energetic and extroverted, in contrast with her brother. Despite constantly bickering, she is very close to Shalltear, unintentionally mimicking the relationship between their creators. She fights with a whip and bow and can summon beasts to fight by her side. Ainz treats her and her brother as if they were his own children.
- Mare Bello Fiore (マーレ・ベロ・フィオーレ, Māre Bero Fiōre)
- Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Megan Shipman (English)
- One of the Guardians of the Sixth floor of Nazarick alongside his twin sister Aura. He takes on the form of a young Dark Elf who cross-dresses as a girl; though he has no idea what a cross-dresser is. He is also rather shy and calm (although, it is heavily implied, that he is actually just acting) in comparison to his sister, causing him to be constantly ordered around by her. Despite this, however, he can fight and be ruthless when necessary. He specializes in Druid magic, capable of twisting the earth to his whims. Ainz often treats him and his sister as if they were his own children.
- Demiurge (デミウルゴス, Demiurugosu)
- Voiced by: Masayuki Katō (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Jeff Johnson (English)
- The Guardian of the seventh floor of Nazarick as well as the one in charge of its defenses. He takes on the form of a demon dressed in a business suit with glasses and a tail. Demiurge uses verbal to control the actions of others he perceives as being poor-mannered. He is among the most intelligent and evil NPCs of Nazarick, willing to commit unspeakable atrocities to further his goals. While getting along fine with the other Guardians, his relationship with Sebas is more strained due to their opposing natures which inherited from the guild members who created the two, who were also often at odds. Demiurge constantly believes his schemes were already wished by Ainz, whom he believes only reveals small portions of his true plans to appease the other Guardians' curiosity; Ainz constantly tricks Demiurge into revealing his plan. To the population of the New World he is known as Jaldabaoth (ヤルダバオト, Yarudabaoto), an alternate identity that he assumed to further his goals without drawing suspicion.
- Cocytus (コキュートス, Kokyūtosu)
- Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Bryan Massey (English)
- The Guardian of the Fifth floor of Nazarick. He takes on the form of a huge, four-armed, humanoid insect with the power of cryokinesis. He also possesses multiple swords, spears, halberds and other kinds of armaments. He has a warrior personality, which makes him very noble and respects anyone with a strong fighting spirit. He is in charge of the security of Nazarick and later becomes responsible for the Lizardmen tribes that Ainz had him conquer. Among his fellow Guardians, he is closest to Demiurge, who he sees a rival and a friend.
- Victim (ヴィクティム, Vuikutimu)
- Voiced by: Nao Tōyama (Japanese); Marla Acevedo (English)
- The Guardian of the Eight Floor of Nazarick. It holds the appearance of a 1 meter long, pink fetus, with a halo and stick-like wings. It speaks Enochian language. It is Nazarick's last line of defense, with its only ability being a self-destruct skill. Despite this however, it is humble and modest about its function, believing its sole purpose is to serve the members of the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown.
- Gargantua (ガルガンチュア, Garuganchua)
- The Guardian of the Fourth Floor. It is a stone golem with a height of over 30m. Unlike the other Floor Guardians, it is not a custom NPC but an in-game bonus won by the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. As a result, it was not granted any personality or free will upon coming to the New World. Due to its unique nature, it is noted to be the strongest Floor Guardian, but due to its inability to react on its own, its strength falls considerably.
Area Guardians
Area Guardians serve as mini-bosses that guard a specific portion of a floor, which are usually very important locations. Some of them serve as subordinates to the Floor Guardians, while others act outside the chain of command.
- Pandora's Actor (パンドラズ・アクター, Pandorazu Akutā)
- Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Eric Vale (English)
- The Area Guardian of Nazarick's Treasury, created by Ainz himself. He is a doppelgänger with an egghead with three holes as a face and is dressed in a military officer's uniform. He can also assume the appearance and abilities of every member of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild. Because of this, Ainz occasionally calls on him as a stand-in when situations require both Ainz and Momon to be active at the same time. Despite being an Area Guardian, his abilities rival a Floor Guardian. Because Ainz created him while going through a chuunibyou phase, he programmed him to act with exaggerated gestures and body language, which now greatly embarrasses him. Despite not getting to spend much time together, he and Ainz share a strong bond, with the latter secretly allowing the former to call him "father".
Five Worst
The Five Worst is an unofficial group composed of the five most disgusting NPCs of Nazarick. Each member has something that is considered "the worst," from appearance to occupation.
- Kyouhukou (恐怖公, きょうふこう, Kyōfukou)
- Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (anime) (Japanese); John Swasey (English)
- The Area Guardian of a region known as the "Black Capsule", which is filled with carnivorous cockroaches, and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Residence". He has the appearance of a 30cm tall Cockroach that walks on its hind legs and wears a small crown as well as a cloak with a small scepter, giving the impression that he is the king of cockroaches. Despite his appearance, he speaks politely with all the etiquette of a Gentleman. To his dismay, Entoma sometimes eats the cockroaches in the Black Capsule as a snack.
- Gashokukochuuou (餓食狐蟲王, Gashokukochuuō)
- The Area Guardian of a region known as the "Large Hole" and a member of Five Worst, holding the title of "Worst Appearance". It is a parasitic creature, using humans as a "House".
- Neuronist Painkill (ニューロニスト・ペインキル, Nyūronisuto Peinkiru)
- Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (anime) (Japanese); Aaron Dismuke (English)
- Nazarick's Special Intelligence Investigator in charge of interrogating and torturing prisoners and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Occupation". She is a visibly hideous creature who speaks in a seductive and teasing tone that loses any appeal due to her similarly hideous voice. She also holds affections for Ainz, causing him to avoid her.
- Chacmool (チャックモール, Chakkumōru)
- Nazarick's musical instructor in charge of teaching the denizens of Nazarick on how play musical instruments and a member of Five Worst, holding the title "Worst Personality". He views humans as food or toys and requested Ainz for it and commands several Greater Doppelgängers.
Pleiades
The Pleiades (プレアデス, Pureadesu) is a group of NPCs dressed as maids, with the exception of Sebas who looks like a butler, who serve as Nazarick's last line of defence before the final floor. Despite each member, with the exception of Sebas and Aureole, being weak by Nazarick's standards, their strength is equivalent to a legendary monster in the New World.
- Sebas Tian (セバス・チャン, Sebasu Chan)
- Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Ed Blaylock (season 1), Bill Jenkins (season 2) (English)
- The head butler of Nazarick and overseer of the Pleiades. Despite not being a Floor Guardian, his abilities rival theirs, specializing in unarmed combat. He takes on the form of an elderly gentleman with a neat beard. Unlike the other NPCs, he doesn't hate outsiders and actually has a strong sense of justice, like his creator. Because of this, he has a habit of saving those in need, often bringing him in conflict with other NPCs and, on occasion, calling his loyalty to Ainz into question. He especially doesn't get along with Demiurge.
- Yuri Alpha (ユリ・アルファ, Yuri Arufa)
- Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Whitney Rodgers (English)
- The Vice-Captain, but de facto leader of the Pleiades. She is a Dullahan who uses a choker to keep her head attached to the rest of her body, causing her to appear to be human. She specializes in unarmed combat and uses Gauntlets in battle. She is programmed to behave like a teacher, because her creator was one, and the other Pleiades look up to her like a big sister. She holds a neutral stance towards humans, not disliking them but not helping them out either.
- Lupusregina Beta (ルプスレギナ・ベータ, Rupusuregina Bēta)
- Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Alexis Tipton (English)
- One of the Pleiades. She's a werewolf in human form and serves as the group's healer. In public, she is a sociable and friendly person who likes to make lewd jokes. However, in reality, she is a psychopath who enjoys using her healing abilities to slowly torture others to death. She is later assigned by Ainz to protect Carne Village.
- Narberal Gamma (ナーベラル・ガンマ, Nāberaru Ganma)
- Voiced by: Manami Numakura (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Anastasia Muñoz (English)
- One of the Pleiades. She is a Doppelgänger. However, because all her levels went into her combat abilities, she is permanently in human form. Instead, she is the strongest of the Pleiades, being a magic caster that specializes in lightning spells. She serves as Ainz' companion while under his "Momon" identity, going by the alias Nabe (ナーベ, Nābe). However, she despises and looks down on humans, which often causes trouble for him.
- CZ2128 Delta (シズ・デルタ, Shizu Deruta)
- Voiced by: Asami Seto (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Michelle Rojas (English)

- Voiced by: Ayane Sakura (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Mallorie Rodak (English)

- Voiced by: Kei Shindo (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Tia Ballard (English)
- One of the Pleiades. She is an Insectoid who disguises herself as a human by wearing a mask and changing her voice. She is an entomancer, being able to summon fellow Insectoids. Being an Insectoid, she preys on humans when hungry, but otherwise doesn't consider them worth her attention. She harbors a grudge towards Evileye from the Adventurer Group Blue Roses, who defeated and humiliated her.
- Aureole Omega (オーレオール・オメガ, Ōreōru Omega)
- The leader of Pleiades and the Area Guardian of the region known as the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary. Due to her dual positions, she is unable to lead the group most of the time, causing Yuri Alpha to serve as leader in her stead. She is in charge of Nazarick's Teleportation Gates. She stated to be to only Human NPC in Nazarick. However, most don't consider her human due to her being immortal. Ainz seems to trust her a great deal, entrusting her with the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown whenever he leaves Nazarick.
Others
- Pestonya Shortcake Wanko (ペストーニャ・ショートケーキ・ワンコ, Pesutōnya Shōtokēki Wanko)
- Voiced by: Satomi Arai (Japanese); Jamie Marchi (English)

- Eclair Ecleir Eicler (エクレア・エクレール・エイクレアー, Ekurea Ekurēru Eikureā)
- Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese); Kyle Phillips (English)
- The assistant butler of Nazarick. He takes on the form of an emperor penguin with a superiority complex. He has been programmed with a desire to overthrow Ainz and take over Nazarick as a gag by his creator. The other NPCs are fully aware of this, but they don't care as he poses no threat and they know it is just a part of his settings.
- Nigredo (ニグレド, Niguredo)
- The older sister of Albedo, being created by the same creator. She specializes in information gathering. While she bears some similarity to Albedo, her face has no skin, resulting in a twisted appearance. Her mind is similarly broken, unless a baby-doll is given to her. However, while she has a body-doll, is actually one of the few NPCs of Nazarick that is genuinely kind-hearted. Despite being polar opposites in appearance and personality, she and Albedo generally get along just fine.
- Rubedo (ルベド, Rubedo)
- The Younger sister of Albedo and Nigredo, being created by the same creator. She is the strongest NPC in Nazarick. Not much is known about her, but Albedo loves her while Nigredo fears her.
New World
The New World is the world where Nazarick was transported to. There seems to be some sort of connection between this world and "YGGDRASIL", as it is implied that Players from the game are transported to it every couple of centuries. The world once had its own form of magic known as "Wild Magic". However, after Players introduced their "Tier Magic", it became more and more scarce. This world's inhabitants are also extremely weak by Player standards.
Nazarick's Allies
Upon arriving in the New World, Nazarick began rapidly expanding its influence. While Ainz obtained the loyalty of the world's inhabitants though mostly peaceful methods, the NPCs violently conquered any territory they laid their eyes on.
- Hamsuke/The Wise King of the Forest (ハムスケ, Hamusuke)
- Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (drama CD, anime) (Japanese); Heather Walker (English)
- A giant female Hamster with a snake-like tail that lived in the forest near Carne Village. She was thought to be the strongest beast among the forest denizens. While publicly known as "The Wise King of the Forest", she's actually more-or-less a dense idiot, though she is capable of human speech. Upon learning about her, Momon (Ainz' Adventurer persona) seeks her out to increase his fame. Upon finding her however, he is extremely disappointed, not understanding what others see in her and proceeds to easily defeat her. He then promptly tames her and names her "Hamsuke". She then joins Ainz's adventurer group as his registered beast and totally devotes herself to him. While initially arrogant due to being strong by the New World's standards, upon meeting Nazarick's NPCs, she realizes her weakness and devotes herself to becoming stronger. Some of her dialogue sounds similar to Yoda.
- Tuareninya Veyron (ツアレニーニャ・ベイロン, Tsuarenīnya Beiron)
- Voiced by: Yū Shimamura (Japanese); Rachel Glass (English)
- Nazarick's newest apprentice-maid under Sebas Tian's supervision. She was a slave of Eight Fingers until Sebas found and saved her while on a mission. He nursed her back to health and she slowly opened up to him, eventually even developing a crush on him. However, this brought Sebas' loyalty to Ainz in question and they were both forced to appear before him. Learning about Ainz didn't change her feelings towards Sebas however, as she was willing to let him kill her to prove his loyalty. Luckily, this was merely a test and her life was spared. She was then revealed that be the older sister of Ninya Berion, whom Ainz felt indebted to, causing him to take her under his protection. As of now, she remains unaware of her younger sister's passing.
Carne Village
Carne Village (カルネ村, Karune Mura) is a small village located at the border of the Re-Estize Kingdom, close to the Great Forest of Tob (トブの大森林, Tobu No Dai Shinrin) where various demi-humans, including Nazarick, reside.
After Ainz saved the village from the Slane Theocracy, the villagers become loyal to him, even siding with Nazarick when it went to war with the Re-Estize Kingdom. The village has since started to take in other races including: Goblins summoned using items Ainz gave Enri, Goblins and Ogres from the Great Forest of Tob, and Dwarves from the Dwarf Kingdom.

Enri shares a close bond with her childhood friend, and lover after the events of the 8th light novel, Nfirea. She and all the other villagers admire and respect Ainz for saving them from Nigun, and willingly leave the Kingdom when the crown prince attempt to force them into joining the fight against Ainz in the 9th novel. Carne Village becomes part of Ainz' territory once he wins the war. It is revealed in the 11th light novel that she and Nfirea have gotten married and moved into their own house.

- Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (anime) (Japanese); Morgan Berry (English)

Nfirea harbors romantic feelings for Enri, which eventually come to fruition. He manages to create a Purple potion, out of materials from Nazarick and the new world, which works better than the blue potion but still less than YGGDRASIL's Red Potion. Ainz is pleased with this step forward but hopes that he can at least make this kind of potion out of materials from the New World. It is revealed in the 11th light novel, that he and Enri have gotten married and are living in their own house.
- Brita (ブリタ, Burita)
- Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (anime) (Japanese); Katherine Bourne (English)

Brita first encountered "Momon" (Ainz's alias as an adventurer) when he accidentally destroyed her potion in a tavern. Ainz decides to give her a special red potion to make up for her loss. This potion ends up saving her life during Shalltear's rampage, since it made the vampire interrogate her instead of just killing her. She quits being an adventurer after encountering Shalltear and moves to Carne Village, where she ends up assisting the people. She also joins the Villagers in fighting against the Kingdom and for Ainz in the 9th Novel.
- Lizzie Bareare (リィジー・バレアレ, Ryijī Bareare)
- Voiced by: Ikuko Tani (anime) (Japanese); Juli Erickson (English)

Lizardmen
Lizardmen (リザードマン, Rizādoman) are humanoid lizards that have shared human and reptilian characteristics. They live in a tribal-like society with there currently being five known tribes: Green Claw (グリーン・クロー, Gurīn Kurō), Red eye (レッド・アイ, Reddo Ai), Dragon Tusk (ドラゴン・タスク, Doragon Tasuku), Razor Tail (レイザー・テール, Reizā Tēru), and Small Fang (スモール・ファング, Sumōru Fangu).
Nazarick declared war on the Lizardmen in order to solidify their control over the region. In response, the tribes formed an alliance, but were defeated. Fortunately, Cocytus came to respect the Lizardmen and requested Ainz to show them mercy, causing him to place them under his supervision. Afterwards, the Lizardmen came to revere Ainz as a god.

He is the one who manages to unify all the Lizardman tribe to fight against Ainz. While doing this, he also meets Crusch Lulu, who later becomes his wife. He, along with the other lizardmen, managed to beat Ainz's first attack and later faced Cocytus, being the last one remaining before being slain. However, Crush requests Ainz to resurrect him. Afterwards, he came to view Ainz as a god and swore servitude to him. He later becomes father to an Albino Lizardman.

Unable to bear the shame, Crusch, arranged an uprising, which was successful, passing the mantle of chief to her. She and Zaryusu meet when he comes to ask for an alliance between Lizardmen, and they fall in love, when he, while infatuated by her beauty, lets out a mating cry for her. They eventually become closer and marry and even have a son, who is an albino. She becomes a representative for the Lizard people, after the fight against Cocytus. She meets Ainz, talking to him in fear and respect, and he offers to bring back Zaryusu in return for her acting as an informant to him, for any sign of rebellion. She is the most powerful magic caster among the lizardmen, but due to her skin, she is extremely vulnerable to the sun, making her wear a ridiculous bush outfit whenever she goes out in the day.

Eight Fingers
The Eight Fingers (八本指) is an underground syndicate within Re-Estize Kingdom. The organisation holds quite a large amount of influence, effectively controlling the entire nation from the shadows.
The organization first made contact with Nazarick after Sebas saved one of their slaves, Tuareninya. While they were able to retrieve her, this caused Ainz to order their destruction. However, Demiurge saw value in them and instead took over the organization by torturing its leaders into submission.

She was the first Eight Fingers member to be abducted and tortured by Nazarick. Afterward, she swore servitude to them out of fear and sold out the remainder of Eight Fingers.

He still persists with his low abilities, and hopes to one day revive runecraft, and is willing to do anything so that it does not die out. He and all the other runesmiths of the Dwarf Kingdom, have been given to the Sorcerer Kingdom as per the treaty between the nations, for Ainz's attempt to learn and understand runes.

Quagoa

Unfortunately, just as the Quagoa were gaining ground on the Dwarves, Ainz visited the Dwarf Kingdom, who had Aura and Shalltear deal with them as part of a trade deal.

When Aura and Shalltear appeared before him and told him to surrender, the king was too stunned by the seemingly ridiculous demand to answer. As a result, he had to watch as the pair massacred his brethren. With his spirit broken, he swore servitude to Ainz.

He first met Ainz while investigating the destruction of several villages and came to greatly respect him due to him saving Carne Village. Unfortunately, they later became enemies when the Kingdom and Nazarick went to war with each other. He challenged Ainz to a one-on-one duel where the latter reluctantly killed him.
