Albedo


 * "Overseer of the Floor Guardians Albedo, at your command."
 * - Albedo's Introduction

Albedo (アルベド) is the Overseer of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She is in charge of the general management and supervises the activities of the seven Floor Guardians, meaning that she ranks above the other NPCs in Nazarick. She is the middle sister of the older sister Nigredo and younger sister Rubedo. Along with her sisters, she was created by Tabula Smaragdina.

Appearance
An impeccable beauty, Albedo is a woman with lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a goddess. She has golden irises and vertically split pupils; on her left and right temples are two thick horns protruding crookedly, and on her waist are a pair of black angel wings.

Albedo wears a pure white dress with silky gloves covering her slender hands and a golden spiderweb necklace that covers her shoulders and chest. In combat, she wears an impressive black full plate armor with a unique helm and carries a battle-ax with her.

Personality
Extremely loyal and in love, Albedo is infatuated with Ainz as programmed by him, often showing obsessive tendencies when it comes to his affairs. She is always vying for Ainz's affection, showcasing outbursts of jealousy whenever anyone else appears to be getting close to him. Yet despite this, she states that as the Supreme Ruler, it would be bizarre for him to only take one wife, implying that she would be content with him taking others as wives as long as she was the one he loves the most.

Among all the Guardians, she is the most vocal when it comes to expressing her opinions. Albedo will openly denounce any statement or action she deems inappropriate, reaching the point where Ainz sometimes considers it an annoyance.

As the Overseer of the Floor Guardians, she is very levelheaded. Albedo can make calm and collected judgments that even Ainz sometimes doesn't think of. She takes Ainz's orders as a top priority and absolute, punishing anyone, even a Floor Guardian, who'd dare to belittle his orders. According to Ainz, he can sense that Albedo has a hatred for humans, whom she calls an inferior species.

Background
Albedo and her other sisters were created by Tabula Smaragdina. She was originally programmed to be a slut, but Momonga altered her personality and changed her setting to be madly in love with him instead.

As the Guardian Overseer of Nazarick, she had to keep in her mind where every Floor Guardian was at all times.

Settings
She is a demoness who holds the title of Guardian Overseer, which is the highest-ranking position in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. With flowing raven hair and golden pupils, her beauty could bewitch a nation. She is proud of her position and confronts intruders as a confident, dignified superior being. Regardless of how brilliant or brave her foes are, or whether she considers them strong, she will never acknowledge them as being equal to herself. This is because she understands the meaning of the position bestowed upon her. Her abilities befit the title of Guardian Overseer, with outstanding intelligence and combat ability. That said, she is not omnicompetent. For instance, in pure wits, Demiurge is her superior, while Shalltear is superior in fighting ability. Yet, nobody in Nazarick can rival her administrative ability. In addition, her feminine skills -- particularly those pertaining to being a housewife -- are excellent, and during her free time, she can be seen sweeping, sewing, and so on. Though the reason is unknown, she enjoys cleanliness and her desire for such frequently drives her to clean things up. In particular, her ability to sort out bookshelves knows no peer. However, she recognizes the possessions of others as belonging to them, so she rarely insists on cleaning up. That said, the items accumulated through her collector’s habit are typically very messy. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether she actually likes being tidy. This might well be an act -- in order to appear as the perfect woman -- though the truth of that is unknown. It is too scary to confirm. She always has a gentle smile on her, and her elegant way of speech has made many people think she is a goddess or an angel. That mistake is not particularly laughable, given that she is surrounded by that sort of atmosphere and acts in an appropriate way. The fact is, it would not be wrong to view her in that way. She was originally planned to be an angel of the highest order, but she ended up with a greatly distorted appearance after being fused with a monster from the land of dreams. Because of that, her personality is similarly twisted, being merciless and cruel, cunning and savage. She gives her enemies despair and revels in their agonizing deaths. Her usual expression seems to be there to suppress the urges which flow from her heart -- a mask which exists to conceals her desire to perform ruthless acts upon the weak. If the mask breaks, she would probably end up being like Empress Lu Zhi or Empress Wu Zetian. However, that only applies when dealing with those not of Nazarick. Fortunately for those who do not serve Nazarick, one can take comfort in the fact that the mask is very sturdy and will not break easily. She feels very strongly about her duties as the Guardian Overseer of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Naturally, the fact that she has ears everywhere listening for information goes without saying. In addition, she smiles all the time -- to the point where one might say she does not show any other emotion. Her smile is nothing more than a poker face to her. She can also show emotions like anger, grimaces, and fake tears. Her sophisticated lady’s face will not break, even when she is torturing the fools who oppose her. By her appearance alone, she is a perfect beauty. Incidentally, she is a slut She is in love with Momonga.

The Undead King Arc
Moments before YGGDRASIL is expected to shut down, Momonga changed Albedo's character information to be in love with him as a joke. Albedo is the first NPC to speak to Momonga when the Great Tomb of Nazarick is transported to the New World. Confused at Momonga's strange behavior, Albedo asks him if there was something wrong and whether he required anything of her. She apologizes to Ainz for not meeting his expectation such as her own inability to answer the latter's questions about the "GM Call" he spoke of. Under Momonga's order, Albedo was experimented upon by her master to see what changes had been done to the NPC after the end of YGGDRASIL where she became sentient.

Albedo was given the order by Momonga to assemble the Floor Guardians except for Victim and Gargantua on the 6th Floor, Amphitheater. She and Demiurge are the last Floor Guardians to arrive. She including the Floor Guardians introduce themselves and pledge their absolute loyalty to Momonga. Representing the Guardians, she would go on to offer several statements of respect to Momonga before then personally describing the love she had for his greatness in her own words. She informs Momonga about the exchange of security information between the Guardians of the various floors and how everyone can share information with Nazarick's defense commander Demiurge. She was ordered by Momonga to work together with Demiurge of drawing up a more comprehensive administrative system for managing the Great Tomb of Nazarick barring the 8th Floor.

After the meeting is over and Momonga had left the Amphitheater, she and the Floor Guardians discuss their impression of their master's Despair Aura that they felt while in his presence. Although she was envious at first by how Aura said that Momonga was kind to her and her brother Mare, Albedo let go of the jealousy and express honor and fondness for what their master had shown them. Before allowing the butler to return to their master's side, Albedo tells Sebas Tian to call her immediately if Momonga was to ask for her summon which she will promptly obey in the event that it happens. Seeing Shalltear Bloodfallen wetting herself after feeling Momonga's presence, she scorn and belittle the vampire's behavior as sluttish. Shortly thereafter, she got into a catfight with Shalltear Bloodfallen, throwing harsh slurs at each other and quarreling about who is worry of becoming Momonga's first wife. She puts her argument with Shalltear on hold when it was time for her to issue orders which Floor Guardians like themselves have to carry out.

Later, she came across the Evil Lords without Demiurge present alongside them. Suspicious of his whereabouts, Albedo inquires Demiurge's servants where the demon is at and who he is with. She was angered by the fact that the Evil Lords were trying to deceive her with false information of there being a Dark Warrior among Nazarick's lowly servants who accompanies Demiurge. Upon threatening them to spill the beans, she learns that the Dark Warrior is none other than their master Momonga much to her shock. Albedo was convinced by the Evil Lord Envy to not take a bath and change her clothes whatsoever as it will be enough to appeal to Momonga that she has been working very hard. She part ways with them soon after to chase down Momonga and Demiurge. She confronted Demiurge at some point during her searching and was brought along to where Momonga was at with Mare Bello Fiore. She reasons with Mare why Momonga is wearing armor was so that their master can silently concealed his identity because he did not wish to disturb the others at work. Albedo explains to Mare that Momonga's disguise as Dark Warrior was to prevent others like themselves from ceasing in their labors. She elaborates that if Mare was to found out Dark Warrior was his master all along, he would end up stopping work to pay their respect to him afterward. Due to her duty in the tomb as the Guardian Overseer, she was given the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown by Momonga to help with navigating around Nazarick.

Albedo was informed by Sebas to be by Momonga's side fully equipped with the exception of her World Item, Ginnungagap. As a result, Albedo accompanies Momonga to save Carne Village and stop the Sunlight Scripture who arrived to attack it. She was ordered not to kill any innocent humans like Enri Emmot and Nemu Emmot as their objective in the first place was to prevent such harm from happening and to rescue them from danger initiated by the Sunlight Scripture. During the fight, she dislikes seeing her beloved Ainz get disrespected and hurt by the enemy's attacks and would sometimes intervene if the situation spirals out of control. Along the way, she had became the first to learn and acknowledge Momonga's new identity that he will go by from now on, which is Ainz Ooal Gown. After the fight with Sunlight Scripture, she and Ainz return to Nazarick with the Sunlight Scripture members they have capture be brought over to the Frozen Prison for interrogation. She even learned from her master Ainz why he had chosen to spare the humans in Carne Village and Gazef Stronoff alive for supposed reasons that got the Overseer to believe they have some uses in the end. Upon returning back to the tomb, Albedo and other Floor Guardians like Demiurge prepare for their own future plan on taking over the New World for Ainz.

Besides that, she works on her latest task of collecting enemy corpses lying on the battlefield outside Nazarick that they have killed to prepare for the creation of permanent undead minions. She also collect their items to be sent off to Nazarick's Treasury for further investigation. Although Ainz feels guilty of changing the Overseer's character setting, Albedo reassures him not to fret over it as she is fine with whatever modifications he had done to her. She had no intention of returning to her old original self, telling her master that her creator Tabula Smaragdina will approve his action while giving herself away for marriage to Ainz.

The Emissary of the King Arc
Albedo is visited by Ainz, who is taking a survey on his subject's relationships and desires. Being the last on his list, Ainz realizes that she has been living in the Throne Room since her creation. He resolves to give Albedo a room of her own, despite Albedo believing her place is in the Throne Room. But she quickly accepts, thinking she will be staying in Ainz's room, but she is declined. Ainz grants her a room on the 9th Floor as she gathers her belongings from a hidden wall in the chamber. She shows an embarrassed Ainz that it contains lingerie that had been given to her by Tabula. In her new room, Albedo takes out the flag of Ainz Ooal Gown and begins desecrating it, cursing it and 'them' for taking her lover's name.

The Guardians' Vacation Arc
Albedo was given the order to restrict the creation of new magic scrolls in Nazarick while also making sure to minimize their uses as well. Along the way, she has to try and find new materials in the New World that Nazarick can substitute from YGGDRASIL. Seeing how restless Ainz is working, she suggests her master take some time off and rest by having a break.

When Ainz suggested the Guardians take a vacation, Albedo was deeply agonized at the thought of having to lose one whole day just for a break time without work suggested by their master. Albedo frantically admits that if someone as herself can't be allow service to Ainz for such a long period of time, she'd much rather be tortured by Neuronist Painkill instead. Albedo would go as far as to say that she will accompany Ainz and stay by his side at all times. Seeing this, Albedo was order by Ainz to calm down, insisting she and the other Guardians need to take daily rests from now on.

While on her walk to the meeting room, she spotted a stain within her line of sight and vows to tell Eclair Ecleir Eicler to clean it up later. Spending her time with the Guardians in private, Albedo evaluate the result of the health examination for Ainz being estimated between yellow to red. She recalls during her previous discussion with them where they agreed "black" represented "darkness," concluding the meaning of this color to be the result of an unknown spell or curse related to "darkness" that had an effect on Ainz.

However, upon looking at the current result of the health exam, she sees it to be in the "almost all yellow," presuming that had something to do with paralysis among the bad status effects. She laments at her powerlessness to support Ainz during his hour of need, remembering how he made mention of a "GM Call" to her much to her own ignorance. She informs everyone that if they continue receiving their master's kindness, Guardians like themselves including her will be nothing more than failures in the end. She promised the Guardians that they must show Ainz the value of their existence to him by devoting themselves to their master's orders from here on out.

The Dark Warrior Arc
In Ainz's office, Albedo was present to give her master different reports involving Nazarick's advancements and missions within the New World. When Shalltear received an audience with her master, Albedo tells the vampire that she should leave as she and Ainz are currently focusing on important work like deciding the future of Nazarick. This later proceeded into into a catfight Albedo had with Shalltear until their master Ainz orders to refrain from such action in front of him.

When Ainz was able to depart from Nazarick with Narberal Gamma as his partner in E-Rantel, she unlike the other Guardians objected his decision the most strenuously. Although she was frustrated of not being able to accompany her master on his journey, Albedo was convinced by Demiurge to leave their master be when he suggested the Guardian Overseer be a good wife and wait for her husband at home and mind the house in his absence. Hearing this, she decided to stop resisting Ainz's decision and instead, act like a wife and stand watch over her master's room while waiting for his return to Nazarick. During the meantime, she discuss with Eclair about his duties on the 9th Floor of Nazarick since Sebas is absent from the tomb. Once Eclair is gone, she starts enveloping Ainz's bed with her fragrance before he heads to his room. She even pretends to talk with an Ainz Dakimakura that look like her master much to Demiurge's disbelief. Albedo tells Demiurge that she had not only made this body pillow but also clothes and socks for Ainz's future child as well, welcoming any kind of gender the baby will end up being.

With Demiurge preparing to set off from Nazarick, Albedo was informed about his departure beforehand. She had already made preparations for Nazarick's defenses in the event that an emergency arises within the tomb. Prior to him living, she discuss with Demiurge about the ways and rules that he had been conducting with his healing experiments. As NPCs are created by the 41 Supreme Beings to remain loyal to their creators, she was disturbed to see that the human captives trapped in Nazarick would go to great lengths in betraying their own masters to ensure their own survival.

While Ainz is away gathering more information as an adventurer at E-Rantel, Albedo is left in charge of managing Nazarick. Albedo is seen lying naked in Ainz's bedroom when Narberal contacts her, updating the Guardian Overseer on their master's status and what he was doing as an Adventurer. She was informed by Narberal about how Ainz stated that there was nobody else in Nazarick who he could trust apart from her with the task of overseeing the tomb in his place. She was seeking to better understand where her relationship with Ainz is at by using Narberal to relay news to her of what their master think of the Overseer. She learns that three members of the Pleiades, particularly Narberal Gamma, Yuri Alpha, and Lupusregina Beta are supportive of her intimate relationship with Ainz. Hearing this, she orders Narberal to quickly win over Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, CZ2I28 Delta and Solution Epsilon to her side instead of Shalltear. Albedo is appalled when she hears that Narberal is sharing a room with Ainz to the point that she fuss about it much to her master's annoyance.

When Ainz contacted the Overseer, Albedo immediately informs her master that Shalltear Bloodfallen had betray Nazarick.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
After Albedo informs Ainz that Shalltear has rebelled, she accompanies him to visit Nigredo to the Throne Room. During their walk together there, she answers her master's questions and one of which includes how only Shalltear had betrayed them but Sebas did not. She learns from Sebas that he and Shalltear parted ways after they encounter a group of bandits, leaving the vampire to take down the bandits' hideout before her betrayal of Nazarick happen thereafter. Albedo deduced that Shalltear had rebelled against Nazarick solely because her name was written in black which represents betrayal.

She proposed to Ainz that they assemble a strike force immediately to deal with Shalltear, wishing to nominate herself as the commander of this expedition. Besides having already so many level 80 vassals that possessed holy elemental attacks effective against undead prepared ahead of time, she requested Ainz allow her to enlist Cocytus and Mare among her forces. She reasons with Ainz that there is no need to show mercy to a traitor like Shallear but the latter refuted her reasoning, stating that they need to find out why the vampire had chosen to betray them. When Ainz asked her of Shalltear's whereabouts, Albedo admits to not have it pinpointed yet because she was focus on placing the vampire's direct subordinates under arrest. While so, Albedo dispatched other vassals to reinforce the first floor of Nazarick in the event that Shalltear plots to attack the tomb.

Equipped with Ainz's cape-like item to protect herself from the cold, she follows Ainz to the fifth floor, Frozen Prison and tells her sister Nigredo to locate Shalltear for them. While Ainz is bust discussing the Adventurer's Guild, Albedo was tasked with sending several vassals to keep a close eye on Shalltear as her master handles talks of negotiation with the organization. With her master gone, she briefly talks with Nigredo about Shalltear becoming a turncoat, her older sister's distrust and hate towards Rubedo who may one day bring calamity to Nazarick. Before heading out with Ainz to Shalltear's location, she and Mare are ordered to dispose of the adventurer team Kralgra, who ignored their master's advice after his meeting with the Adventurer's Guild came to an end. She had Mare send the corpses to the tomb for experimentation in creating undead. After the Wish Upon a Star spell fails to work on Shalltear, Albedo was told by Ainz to retreat back to Nazarick.

Albedo was then order to recall all the Guardians from the outside world to Nazarick quickly. She and her master revisit the Throne Room to verify if any of the Guardians have ended up being mind-controlled like Shalltear. Once that was done, Albedo accompanies Ainz to the Treasury to get a World Item. She encounters someone who she thinks is her creator, Tabula Smaragdina, but discovers that it isn't him and tries to threaten the shape-sifter to reveal its true form until her master stop the Overseer in her tracks. Shortly thereafter, she was introduced to Pandora's Actor, Ainz's personal NPC creation and Area Guardian of Nazarick's Treasury. Under Ainz's order, Albedo inform the vassals of Nazarick about Pandora’s Actor.

Later, in the Mausoleum, she tries to persuade Ainz to never leave or abandon Nazarick, kneeling down before her master pleadingly and crying emotionally. However, Albedo was reassured by Ainz that although he is fighting a one-on-one death battle with Shalltear alone, the latter promised her that he will win and return to the tomb alive. Ainz orders Albedo to restrain anyone who tries to intervene in his fight with Shalltear. With permission from Ainz, she had already temporarily taken control of the the seventh floor and Demiurge's servants ahead of time until her master finish his battle with Shalltear. She restrains and tells Demiurge to have faith in their master as Ainz had the conviction to emerge victorious against Shalltear. She even wager her own position as the Guardian Overseer against Demiurge, betting it on the match between Ainz and Shalltear where if their master loses, she will resign from that role. She told Demiurge that when their master returns safely, the demon must yield to her in a similar situation if it arises.

While watching her master's battle with Shalltear turn to Ainz's advantages, Albedo couldn't help but be awed by his flawless strategy. Albedo noted how Shalltear has no idea what other weapons Ainz possesses due to how many times their master had already switch between them unpredictably. Albedo deduced that under these circumstances where the vampire lacks further knowledge, she believes Shalltear would regard running away to be a foolish option after seeing Ainz's bow. To reassure Demiurge, Albedo reasons that since Shalltear ran out of skill and magic uses, all the vampire can do left is close the distance with Ainz to the attack range of her Spuit Lance and fight on.

As Ainz defeated and slay the vampire in combat, Albedo and the rest of the Guardians head back to the Throne Room where they awaited their master's return from the battlefield. Before the revival of Shalltear, Albedo and the other Floor Guardians beg Ainz to never do such a thing again and to allow them to handle any future incidents that may come. After Shalltear was resurrected, Albedo tells her master to be at ease as the vampire is no longer under mind-control, advising Ainz to let her rest for the time being. On the behalf of the rest of the Guardians, Albedo also made sure to rebuke Shalltear for behaving in an unsightly manner without knowing about the sin she had committed to Ainz. She suggests Ainz to reprimand Shalltear with a stern punishment that is suitable for the former traitor.

On the other hand, Albedo was then order to select a few clandestine operatives to keep an eye on Sebas and his surroundings as the butler will be the bait to lure out the enemies responsible for Shalltear's brainwashing. While so, she was given the order to lay a few scratches on Nigun's Sealing Crystal and have Nazarick's Blacksmith repaired the adventurer Momon's armor as damaged and scorched so that they can create a cover-up story for the people of E-Rantel to believe. She informs Ainz that Aura had discover a Lizardman Village, proposing to her master they can use the demi-human corpses from there for their undead creation experiment rather than humans alone.

The Show Must Go On!
Albedo sneaks into Ainz's chambers and overhears her master’s lamentation of his acting skills. The Overseer believes it to be some sort of class he wishes to improve, organizes Nazarick's first theatre production. She selects the play Romeo and Juliet and is intending to have the role of the latter while Ainz plays the former. Albedo intends to steal a kiss from Ainz, but her plan is discovered by Shalltear, who brings it to the attention of Ainz. Demiurge also agrees that the selection of the female protagonist needs to be fair and organizes auditions for the role. Albedo, undeterred by the spoiling of her plan, attempts to bribe one of the judges, Aura, to vote for her. In the end, after both her and Shalltear's performances, the two are disqualified after their bribery is brought to light.

The Sealed Evil Tree Arc
Albedo, alongside the other Floor Guardians, is ordered to fight together against Zy'tl Q'ae and to secure the herb and to complete Ainz's adventurer quest from Pluton Ainzach.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
Once Ainz returns to the tomb, she prepares Nazarick's intelligence briefing with him. She was handed by her master an unknown amount of money used to fund various experiments like the summoning of monsters and activate Nazarick's defense systems. At the same time, she had to use the New World's currency coins to try using them to make items, such as Magic Scrolls and so on. She was order to duplicate the New World map Ainz had given her and distribute it to each Guardian.

While so, Albedo learned from Ainz about the various contents of the map after he explained it to her with the latter suggesting the Overseer to be wary of all the locations surrounding Nazarick. She was refrain by her master from sending vassals outside the tomb for a reconnaissance mission in those places. Albedo informs Ainz of Shalltear's mental state where she is feeling intense guilt for raising her lance against him and not receiving any punishment for it. Hence, she suggests Ainz punish Shalltear as it is the only way to help erase the vampire's guilt. Since Ainz is planning to head outside the tomb once again, Albedo reminds her master to be careful and wary of the unknown perpetrator who mind-control Shalltear with a World Item.

Before Ainz leaves Nazarick to complete his tasks as the adventurer Momon, Albedo informs him that Cocytus and Entoma are preparing to make contact with the Lizardman Village. Under Ainz's order, she was instructed to help her master record the battle between the Lizardmen and the forces of Nazarick.

At some point, Albedo carry out a plan to replenish the tomb's consumables, where they grow seeds of apples from the outside in Nazarick.

After Cocytus lost the war against the lizardmen, she was present in the meeting with her master Ainz and fellow Guardians who discuss about it and other subjects like Demiurge's various experiments and the fate of Shalltear's punishment. She believes the meting out of appropriate punishment and reward is the way of the world, feeling that Shalltear must still be punished which the latter agreed on accepting. On the other hand, she was threateningly stern of Cocytus' behavior towards Ainz and the request he made to her master before the undead restrains the Overseer in her tracks.

With the meeting concluded, Albedo was order to prepare the tomb's troops, dispatching various kinds of Nazarick Guarders and Gargantua as the main body of their forces that are approved by her master. She was also commanded to transfer the warning grid of both Nigredo and Pandora's Actor to Ainz. After their army arrived at the Great Lake, Albedo, along with the other Floor Guardians, threatens and intimidates the lizardman so that they become part of Nazarick.

When she saw what Shalltear's punishment from Ainz is like, Albedo ask her master for a temporary leave from the room for a minute, only to hit a wall out of pure anger and jealousy before returning shortly thereafter. Albedo then told Aura that she had accidentally bumped into a wall on her way out and damaged it in the process. Although it was her fault she did it, Albedo kindly apologizes to Aura and convinces her to fix the wall. Later, she became anger by the old story of how the opposition in YGGDRASIL stole one of Ainz Ooal Gown's territories. She recommends her master to allow the Guardians like herself to retake it at once before Ainz stops to reason with them that this was all in the past long ago.

While divining the enemy's intention, she speculates to Ainz that perhaps the reason of why the ones who brainwash Shalltear have not appear to confront Nazarick was because they have yet to be exposed. She thinks Momon's announcement of the vampire being defeated by a magic item is not completely believable at best when it would only work well against people who think Sealing Crystals are rare items in the world. She reasons that there is a likely chance their enemy had multiple of these items within their grasp. Permitted by Ainz, she explains her concerns to the other Guardians, stating that anyone who knows the Sealing Crystal's abilities will probably see through Momon's news immediately and how they will think that Shalltear was not defeated by it. She declare that although the enemy may not know if Shalltear fought with all her strength, anyone with a World Item would probably reckon that the vampire and Momon were of equivalent strength. Therefore, she concludes that the enemy might consider Momon a mysterious warrior who recently appeared in E-Rantel a threat to them. In addition to that, she judge the opposition is likely to suspect something suspicious and odd about the link between Shalltear and Momon.

As the other Floor Guardians are having trouble understanding Demiurge's explanation, Albedo assist the demon in explaining it to them so that they can better understand Nazarick's plan. To explain Demiurge's idea, she states that by pretending to support another country, Ainz and Guardians like themselves have an excuse for any action which Nazarick takes. By saying that Nazarick were ordered to do so by that country and the former had no choice but to obey, they could use that to deflect blame from themselves, presuming there was an enemy on their level. She ends Demiurge's explanation off with the notion where if the other party does not want an open conflict, they will have no choice but to bear with it. Albedo was awed by Ainz's intellect to make humans seem surprisingly useful within the scope of his supposed plan after she and Demiurge had explained it in their master's stead.

The Search for Hamsuke Arc
Albedo informs Ainz that Narberal Gamma wishes to see him. Learning of the disappearance of Hamsuke from Narberal, Albedo suggests a search be conducted in order to locate her, to which Ainz agrees.

When Albedo and Shalltear begin to bicker with one another during their search, Ainz orders the two Floor Guardians to work together on improving their relationship. Eventually, she and Shalltear are able to find Hamsuke on the 2nd Floor but become frightened by Kyouhukou's insect guide riding on top of her head. As Hamsuke approaches the Floor Guardians, Albedo tells the beast to stop moving and she is later threatened by Aura and Shalltear. Hence, the beast immediately runs away in terror while she and her fellow Floor Guardians report back to Ainz that Hamsuke is still alive and well.

After fulfilling Ainz's order, Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura have chosen to take a break in Spa Resort Nazarick while relaxing. All seems peaceful until a brief conversation ensues between Albedo and Shalltear regarding the difference in their chest sizes that turns into a conflict among the two.

The Two Leaders Arc
While Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura are having their day off, they visit the small village in the 6th Floor and meet Sous-chef there. Outside of Ainz's bedroom, after hearing what Ainz had said, she tries to rape him but is restrained by Mare and several Eight-Edge Assassins. Afterwards, she is then given three days of solitary confinement.

Albedo and Shalltear wish to bath with Ainz, but he refuses and sends them to the ladies' bath. They try to go to the men's bath and are attacked by the Lion Golem, with the other male Guardians soon joining in.

The Dark Hero's Story Arc
During the Floor Guardians' meeting on what to ask Ainz as a compensation, the Guardians are unable to come up with anything at first. Albedo suggests clothing could be asked, since the wardrobe she possesses contained only the same style of dresses and numerous lingerie given to her by her creator, Tabula. She conducts the meeting accordingly until Shalltear requests a coupon to sleep with Ainz, throwing the meeting in disarray. This results in the Guardians having to organize an auction for the said item as a template.

Ainz Raises Money Arc
Albedo is present with her fellow Floor Guardians at a meeting with their master. During this meeting, she makes a request to him that she and her fellow Floor Guardians do not require a salary for their work as they are only doing it out of loyalty. When Albedo begins stating her suggestion to her master, Demiurge abruptly interrupts and states that every suggestion has been rejected.

When Ainz gives her gold coins to spend in the human city, she uses them to buy some expensive cloth. Afterwards, she uses the cloth as a material to make a life-size dakimakura of her master and shows it to him. Her item ends up stirring discussion among the Floor Guardians about it. She then starts venting to Shalltear over the matter of what she does with the object during nightly hours.

During another meeting with Ainz, Albedo shows her master a talking Momon statuette she bought, insisting that she can now talk to it every day.

Table Game to Understand Humans Arc
At Ainz's request, Albedo, along with several other Floor Guardians, are asked to play a table game as an exercise to better understand humans.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Within Nazarick, she appears to be in her personal room crafting a spherical wool doll of Ainz and playing with her Dakimakura. She was then contacted by Ainz to put together a set of reinforcements for Sebas to rescue Tuareninya Veyron. She questions why Ainz would go to great lengths in having her draft a team to save a human that don't connect to the mastermind of the Shalltear incident. Seeing her master's determination of saving Tuare due to an oath he had swore to her in his name, she vows to severely punish the humans who dared enrage him at the same time she mount the rescue as ordered. She was commanded to have Demiurge handled the grain transportation.

When Ainz's [Message] call is over, Albedo voice her hate of the name Ainz Ooal Gown to herself and wishes Ainz go by his original name again which is Momonga. She goes on to state that the Great Tomb of Nazarick belongs to her master only and he alone. She thrown the Flag of Ainz Ooal Gown into the corner of the room where it was gathering dust while paying her respect to the Flag of Momonga that was hang on her room's wall.

Before Operation Gehenna was commenced by Demiurge, Albedo sternly told him and the other NPCs that that due to Shalltear's, Cocytus' and now Sebas’ mistakes, any further errors from now on might lead to the abilities of the Floor Guardians themselves coming into question. According to Demiurge, Albedo is standing by in the Throne Room to keep tabs on Sebas who is Nazarick's bait to lure out the mastermind who manipulated Shalltear.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
When Demiurge proposed the idea of forming a nation using Nazarick as its basis, Albedo was down with that proposal. She tells Ainz that if they were to make themselves known to the world, Nazarick can deal with problems in an aboveboard manner. She reasons that they will no longer have any further need to keep sending small amounts of personnel from Nazarick to conduct secret investigations outside the tomb. More so, Albedo dislikes the idea of allowing the Great Tomb of Nazarick which Ainz presides over to become part of any other country but his own which was why Demiurge suggested their master create a nation.

Once Ainz returns from the adventurer's campsite around the Tomb, she and her master monitor the workers and prepare their deaths by Nazarick's defense systems while excluding Foresight as her master plans to test his swordsmanship against them later. While managing the tomb's systems and being cautionary around the Ariadne mechanism, she was instructed to avoid using spraying poison gas trap and instead, work with just the traps that involved the POP monsters. She had also ordered all the other Floor Guardians apart from herself to gather at the Throne Room and watch the invasion live with their master Ainz together.

She later accompanies Ainz as he confronts and fights Foresight, who have been teleported to the 6th floor Amphitheater. She recommends her master end the charade with Foresight and finish them off, considering how merciful Ainz had been towards them until they lie to him using the name of the 41 Supreme Beings. When Iminasaid threaten Ainz that the strongest people in the world will arrive to save them if Nazarick do not let them escape, Albedo believes she was merely spouting meaningless lies. However, upon learning the adventurer to be Momon of Darkness, she rescinded her statement and frantically apologizes to Ainz. Now that the intruders are eliminated, Albedo had earn the trust of Ainz to be fully entrust the task of Nazarick's defenses in the future if an invasion were to occur again.

Considering that her master's top priority is to search for the other 40 Supreme Beings in the world, she propose to Ainz the creation of a Secret Unit led by herself to do the job. Albedo successfully convinced Ainz to give her permission in using Pandora's Actor, Rubedo and other high-level vassals as she see fit for this expedition, with Ainz believing to. She reasons that they need such squad to help verify the legitimacy and accuracy of the information regarding a Supreme Being's whereabouts so that enemies like Foresight won't be able to falsify it to their advantage anymore against them. She also reasonably cautioned her master to keep the squad a secret from the Guardians and why they should never assist her on this long-term task she made it her duty to do. On the other hand, she lavish praises for her master Ainz after he kindly made use of what was leftover of the invader Arche's corpse.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
Albedo and the Floor Guardians meet Emperor Jircniv and his Imperial delegation before Ainz Ooal Gown. After the Imperial delegation leaves, Albedo suggests addressing Ainz as Supreme King. Despite the proposal, Ainz chooses Cocytus' suggestion and crowned himself as Sorcerer King, which makes Albedo a little disappointed since Ainz didn't choose her suggestion.

After the massacre at Katze Plains, Albedo accompanies Ainz and his army to E-Rantel. Albedo then decides to kill a young boy who is disturbing their arrival march but is stopped by Momon. Albedo threatens Momon and tells him to be Ainz's enforcer, which he accepts and they continue on their way.

The Pleiades Day Arc
Albedo has taken an interest in researching whether the undead could experience strong emotions. Albedo has taken it upon herself (apparently) to experimentally investigate the matter.

She gathers various types of undead; mercenary, monsters, summoned undead, and POP in order to collect various data from all of them. She even includes Yuri in the experiment.

These experiments have begun with a special experiment just for Shalltear, and it sparks a great uproar between Albedo and Shalltear that soon spirals out of control. In the end, the experiment is terminated with no definite findings. Albedo, for her part in causing an uproar, is punished by cleaning with a mop.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
After the annexation of E-Rantel and its surrounding territory, Albedo has been training elder liches created by Ainz to act as administrators and public servants for the Sorcerer Kingdom. Later, she visits the Royal Capital to open formal relations with the Re-Estize Kingdom. Albedo makes the acquaintance of a minor noble by the name of Philip at the Royal Family's dinner party.

Albedo attends Philip's ball, which has been organized by Hilma of Eight Fingers. There she meets with the submissive executives to begin the transportation of resources and to be on the lookout for a powerful mind-control item. Later, she meets with Princess Renner to discuss the future plans for the Kingdom and has some girl talk with her.

Ainz’s Ambition Arc
Albedo, hearing that Ainz Ooal Gown wishes to take a vacation, as he wants to provide an example to his subjects, misunderstands and assumes that he wishes to be serviced by the entire maid and butler staff. She calls forth not only the Homunculus Maids, but Pestonya Shortcake Wanko, Manservant, and even the Pleiades to Ainz's quarters. Since Albedo does not know how many maids he would need to help her master out during his vacation, she feels it prudent to have everyone take part.

Nazarick Mythology Arc
Albedo attends a meeting to create a mythology of her master in order to solidify his hold over the masses. In her myth story, the world was abandoned by the gods and nearly destroyed with the humans facing extinction. Albedo integrates herself in the creation myth of how she remained loyal to the gods, only to be punished by those around her. Ainz is rendered as the hero who saves her and takes her as his bride. Ainz purifies the world and the two return to Earth and marry, which marks the beginning of this world. After she finishes, Albedo thinks her myth praiseworthy. However, the Floor Guardians point out some holes, as they are not comfortable with the ideas that suggest that all of humanity are Ainz's descendants.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
and The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom II Arc Albedo, now acting as Prime Minister of the Sorcerer Kingdom, greets the representatives of the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army when they seek an audience with Ainz Ooal Gown. She provides time estimations of the Sorcerer Kingdom's ability to mobilize its forces to assist the Holy Kingdom against Jaldabaoth.

She and Demiurge are seen in a log cabin during a meeting with Ainz. When her master begins questioning his own actions to both Albedo and Demiurge, she states that she has no problem with what he does or the changes he had made with the original plan until now. However, as Ainz suggests faking his death during his battle with Jaldabaoth, this leaves Albedo shocked and upset at the idea. When Demiurge accepts such an idea from Ainz, it angers Albedo to the point that she inquires whether he will agree with the modified plan if his creator Ulbert Alain Odle was the one who proposed it instead of their master. The exchange of words between the two gets tenser and continues to be so until it was immediately gone upon Ainz's shout over them.

As the new plan is set forth by their master, Doppel-Yuri tells Ainz about a condition insisted by Albedo so she can fully support his plan. Particularly, if Ainz gets defeated by Jaldabaoth and his minions in battle, he will not be allowed to leave the Great Tomb of Nazarick for the coming year.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
While quickly skimming through the documents in her office regarding internal affairs and human resources of Nazarick/Sorcerer Kingdom, Albedo came across a complicated problem from one of the reports that have a title covered, "Regarding the problems faced by the team supporting the Holy Kingdom’s grain management". After noticing this, Albedo thought of discussing the matter with Demiurge, her colleague who she presumed as deeply linked to the problem. As a result, Albedo decided to inform her maid subordinate that she will be holding an emergency meeting on the 7th Floor of Nazarick first to discuss private matters with Demiurge about it.

Later on, she along with her fellow Floor Guardians met up together on the 10th Floor of Nazarick, Audience Room and waited on standby for their master Ainz's return. Once the Overlord arrives, Albedo began explaining to her master about what had happened to the Sorcerer Kingdom's trade caravan of grains. She had Shalltear bring Hilma Cygnaeus to their meeting as a witness who can answer Ainz's questions and concerns. Albedo suggested giving the witness a severe punishment but was denied by Ainz after her master interrogated Hilma. Although Albedo claims that it is only natural for the superior to take the fall for their subordinate, Ainz counters her argument by stating that both himself and Albedo would have also been responsible for Hilma and this incident to occur. In that regard, her master gave Hilma a punishment that was far from severe than what she suggested. In the end, Albedo and the rest of the Floor Guardians approved their master's reasoning for giving out his punishment in that manner. Once that matter was concluded, discussion about Philip resumes where it left off while Albedo explains their strategy for the Fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom.

When Ainz stated that maybe Philip did what he did without first thinking through about the consequence of his actions beforehand, Albedo doubted that to be the case. She thinks that someone like Philip couldn't have been this stupid to take action in such a manner as attacking their country's caravan. However, Demiurge tries reasoning with Albedo out of support for his master's opinion that could have been the case as Philip is after all an idiot who makes irrational actions.

Later, Albedo pays a visit to the Re-Estize Kingdom, traveling to the capital city in order to have a political meeting with King Ramposa III. She informed Ramposa that her country’s grain caravan, which was intended to be humanitarian aid to the Holy Kingdom, had been robbed by one of his own countrymen. When Ramposa gave suggestions like offering his own head, she states that the Sorcerer Kingdom will not change their policies towards this matter. After this, Albedo formally declares war between their two nations, stating that the Sorcerer Kingdom will deploy their troops a month from now at noon. She warns Ramposa that if he were to march his troops towards E-Rantel, which is within the Sorcerer Kingdom’s borders, then the latter will no longer follow that plan. While so, she relays the Sorcerer King's message to Ramposa of not using his grand magic in this war.

A month later after the Sorcerer Kingdom's declaration of war against the Re-Estize Kingdom, Albedo had contributed to the campaign by threatening a portion of the enemy nation’s nobility into rebelling. Because of that, her work was commended by Ainz during a meeting with the Floor Guardians in Nazarick.

While overseeing the battlefield with her master and fellow Floor Guardians, she told her colleagues about the adventurer team, Red Drop thanks to intel from Sebas, Demiurge, and their corroborators. She explains it to them that Red Drop's presence in the northern end of the Re-Estize Kingdom was part of their master's ploy to lure out one of these adventurers with insufficient troops deployed into the city of E-Naüru. She elaborates how the Red Drop adventurer must have viewed that amount of troops as easily defeatable and enough to conquer the city without feeling the need to bring their companions along for the fight. When asked by her master Ainz to explain how credible their intel about Red Drop appearing in the city E-Naüru was, Albedo apologized and said that it was a surface-level deduction based on their foe wearing an adamantite adventurer plate with their signature color.

Later on, she was revealed to be present with Ainz and his 10,000 undead army in the Re-Estize capital. According to Ainz, she was said to have been working hard at building the front. Shortly after doing her job, she shortly return back to the tent with Cocytus and informs Ainz that the humans have sent an envoy their way for an audience. She was then asked by Ainz to prepare a reception and receptive drinks for his guest. However, Albedo suggests to him to simply turn down the envoy's request if it is not in anyways related to declaring the start of the battle. At the same time, she advised her master to start the battle now as it is while her fellow Floor Guardian Cocytus disagrees with the idea. Albedo couldn't help but sneer at Cocytus's reasoning, stating that rumors will not spread if the ones responsible for it are all killed off through this battle. However, when Ainz reasons that they could still spread rumors using magical means, Albedo immediately offers up an apology to her master shortly thereafter. When Ainz says he was going to talk alone with the envoy, she shows her concern whether his action was for the best. Nonetheless, she was reassured by her master that he has Aura with a World Item to protect him if something bad was to happen to him.

After Ainz returns from his meeting with Zanac, Albedo was conducting the final inspection of their army's formations. However, Albedo immediately stopped what she was doing to report to her master Ainz that there is commotion going on at the enemy's camp. Under Ainz's orders, she guided ten noblemen from the enemy side to their camp as envoys. Not long after, she received Zanac's head from her master and was ordered to give it a proper burial. After which, she was then told by Ainz to send the envoys and their families over to Neuronist Painkill so that the Area Guardian could take care of them.

Once the battle began, Albedo while protecting her master, is soon ordered to engage Azuth Aindra in his Powered Suit after he tried to deal damage to Ainz at his camp. Using her abilities she pursued the adventurer in the skies. After traveling some distance from her camp she realized that he was leading her away on purpose. Stopping herself she decided to wait for what kind of actions her opponent would take. Azuth then chose to attack her with his Heavy Machine Gun. Though she expected her opponent to be difficult she found him lacking in strength and quickly had the battle in her favor. However after sensing that "Ainz Ooal Gown" was in trouble she quickly returned to his side and drove away his challenger, Riku Aganeia, just as he was about to kill the former. After successfully driving him away the two then teleported to Nazarick for safety.

The two arrived on the 9th Floor where they were greeted by Ainz Ooal Gown, Demiurge and Shalltear Bloodfallen. The trio had been observing the battle that took place, and were eager to learn on the Pandora's Actor and Albedo's comments on their opponent Riku. While Pandora's Actor viewed Riku as a tank whose level was around 90, she disagreed with him on that analysis. For her opinion, as a tank, she did not believe him to be that strong, estimating Riku to be around level 80 or so. Her estimation of Riku was also not the same as Shalltear who believed he was around level 85. Since the three were unsure of Riku's exact level, the meeting turned to the Area Guardian's conversations with Riku from which she hears how he handled his performance as Ainz. Albedo expressed her annoyance of Pandora's Actor of kneeling before the enemy to lower Rikus's guard, as the Sorcerer King, calling it out of line and disrespectful of their master. However Ainz found it to be an acceptable performance from Pandora's Actor, while letting the matter drop entirely. Due to the lack of concrete information of Riku's identity Ainz believed that the next time they meet he would allow himself to be defeated by the other to gain more information. The other Guardians including Albedo were apprehensive of putting Momonga in harm's way even if it was a logical step. Albedo even urged her master to stay within the dungeon and limit his excursions. Albedo admits that if she was in Riku's shoes to deal with Pandora's Actor, she would have killed him immediately if he was just a regular civilian. However, if Riku's opponent was the king of a nation, Albedo did consider capturing them for intel while likely getting careless about it.

On the identity of Riku Aganeia, she iterated that based on Pandora's Actor's dialogue with the warrior he could either be a member of the Thirteen Heroes or the Platinum Dragon Lord. Ainz brought the possibility that this could be a lie on the enemy's part. However to sniff out for information of this Riku, Ainz decided that once the Re-Estize Kingdom was taken care of the Sorcerer Kingdom would turn their attention to the Council State. The main purpose would be to send envoys to the Council-State to greet the heads of state, and sarcastically scoff at the Platinum Dragon Lord to determine if he is Riku. The missive for this plan would be handled by Albedo. Just as the meeting was about to end, Shalltear raised a question on whether Ainz's offer to Riku Aganeia to join as a vassal was sincere. Ainz admitted that the offer was a sham, as he was unsure if he could reign in a dangerous individual. Riku's death however would secure his position as the ruler of the world. Though Albedo believed it would be a waste to kill him and they should hold off on Riku's elimination and see if they could convert him, that is until they obtain more information. She managed to get Ainz's approval for this plan and allowed her to take the necessary steps for its success.
