Panasolei Gruze Day Rettenmaier

Panasolei Gruze Day Rettenmaier (パナソレイ・グルーゼ・デイ・レッテンマイア) was the mayor of E-Rantel until the city was ceded over to the Sorcerer Kingdom. He is a noble of the royalty faction of the Re-Estize Kingdom.

Appearance
He is described as a mass of bloated, fatty oil, so much so that even his chin consists of excessive fat. His face resembles that of an unremarkable obese bulldog. The white hair on his scalp is thin enough to reflect light.

Personality
Panasolei sometimes breathes like a pig (プヒープヒー = Onomatopoeia), which lowers his overall impression as untrustworthy at first glance but he is in fact, a very clever man. His behavior aims to make others to look down on him so that he can catch them off guard.

Unlike many nobles, he doesn't look down on commoners and actually cares for them. He is also hardworking, taking a large amount of time to get accurate statistics to help forecast future trends in the economy.

Background
A noble and a member of the Royalty Faction. Due to his fair temperance towards commoners, he was precisely posted to E-Rantel.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
He met with the mithril ranked adventurer teams of E-Rantel: Kralgra, Sky Wolf, Rainbow, and Darkness, along with Adventurer Guildmaster Pluton Ainzach and Magic Caster Guildmaster Theo Rakheshir to discuss the appearance of the powerful vampire Honyopenyoko.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
When King Ramposa III and the Royal Army stayed in E-Rantel to prepare for the annual war against the Baharuth Empire and Nazarick, Panasolei gave his report of the domestic state of the Kingdom. His report revealed that the Kingdom was stepping further into economic decline and would not survive another war.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
The mayor along with all the other bureaucrats and officials who had previously been responsible for managing the city have fled to other lands controlled by the Re-Estize Kingdom after the Sorcerer Kingdom of Nazarick took control of the city. Ainz Ooal Gown took up residence in the mayor's former residence and remodeled it into Ainz's own chambers.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Panasolei reappeared as an official of internal affairs, working with his fellows along with newly crowned King Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself in his office to prepare for the upcoming battle with the Sorcerer Kingdom. When the office door was knocked, he attempted answer it, however he was too slow to reach it, as the knight opened it and reported that Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself wished for an audience. The official and his fellows was asked to depart so that their king would have a private word with his sister.

Mass for the Dead Arc
After the Catastrophe, the mayor worked with several officials in E-Rantel which became the base of the Tripartite Alliance. At one such meetings he listened to Saint Clementine's report on a new adventurer and his achievements. Much later in an investigation of an outbreak of aggressive Sanitary Slimes, Panasolei attended a hearing where Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra accused Hilma Cygnaeus as the culprit before the city officials. The new adventurer was also under suspicion as he and his team worked with Hilma to bring her herbs that could have been used to mutate the slimes plaguing the sewers. However the two were cleared of the charges as it was determined that the cause of the slimes' mutation was a freak accident. Once everything was straighten out, Panasolei directed the council's attention to handling the infestation in the sewers. When Gazef Stronoff offered to deal with it, Panasolei disagreed as he could not risk the Kingdom's trump card so lightly. Instead the protagonist and his adventurer team volunteered to deal with the situation. When teh adventurers returned after defeating the slimes, Panasolei and the others at the hearing were shocked at their feat.

When the fields of the fourth wall of the city produced a bountiful harvest, Panasolei headed a meeting with the various city leaders, including the protagonist on how to distribute the harvest. It was agreed by the council that a Harvest Festival should be organized to celebrate the good fortune and was voted that the protagonist would be the organizer. After the protagonist brought a proposal to have a Halloween style festival, Panasolei and his peers approved it. He was then seen addressing the crowd at the festival before a mock battle demonstration and signaled the participants to start the exhibition.

Abilities and Powers
When acting as E-Rantel's mayor, Panasolei had complete authority over the fortress city. He also possesses some accounting abilities, as he was able to forecast and analyze the financial health of the Kingdom.

Ramposa III
Due to being a loyal servant of the king and the Royal Faction, Panasolei is very familiar to his liege. As seen during their interactions, despite his physical appearance making it more difficult, Panasolei is shown to offer the king the outmost respect as his superior and loyally does his best to assist him in dealing with the various issues regarding the immensely corrupt kingdom and address its many issues. This is seen where he and Ramposa himself shares many things with each other, as seen where they both harbor genuine care for the commoners of the Kingdom and genuinely want to better it for their sakes.

However as seen by the events of Volume 14, despite his loyalty towards the King, Pansasolei is evidently far more loyal to the Kingdom as a whole. This is seen where Panasolei himself willingly assisted and backed Prince Zanac in dethroning Ramposa due to his foolish insistence with peace with the Sorcerer Kingdom despite how destructively clear the hostile state made it their intentions known in order to properly prepare the Kingdom for war.

Gazef Stronoff
After the failed assassination of Gazef Stronoff, the mayor provided him and his troops' medical assistance and shelter.

Pluton Ainzach
Pluton trusts Panasolei as the mayor of E-Rantel.

Theo Rakheshir
