 * - Ainz announcing his goals, setting all of Nazarick into motion

Ainz Ooal Gown (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン), formerly known as Momonga (モモンガ), is the main protagonist of the Overlord series. He is the guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, Overlord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the creator of Pandora's Actor. He is regarded as the highest of the Almighty 41 Supreme Beings by the NPCs of Nazarick.

In the New World, he is the Sorcerer King of the Sorcerer Kingdom and the most powerful magic caster in the world. His other identity is famously known as Momon, a dark warrior and leader of Darkness, an adamantite ranked adventurer group of that nation. He is an adamantite class adventurer and the strongest adventurer in E-Rantel.

Appearance
Ainz Ooal Gown has the appearance of an Overlord, an undead skeleton creature who is devoid of skin and flesh. Ainz wears an elaborate, jet-black academic gown adorned with gold and violet edges. He has a dark red glow inside the empty eye sockets, and a dark halo-like object glimmered behind its head.

In his dark warrior persona as Momon, Ainz would wear a fully jet-black body armour with purple and golden markings on it. He wears a red cape and along with two large swords on his back while carrying it behind him.

Personality
While being a cautious and stingy person, Ainz would always tried to plan ahead and control details beforehand in order to avoid any haphazard actions that can endangers Nazarick's existence. This means going so far as lying to the inhabitants in the New World that he can't used one of his Super-tier spells for years to come after using it once. Since being transferred to a new world and becoming an actual undead being, Ainz could feel himself becoming very cold and calculating while his emotions repressed.

To take into consideration, he loves to reminisce about the wise words from his fellow guildmates as they may hold some meaning now, which the NPCs believes it so too. As he is loyal to his friends and the NPCs created by them, Ainz has become a ruler of Nazarick in the new world. This was where he then acts with a certain degree of nobility, leading his devoted followers so they can faithfully have a Supreme Being to look up to and depend on. Nevertheless, Ainz is paranoid and pessimistic that his Floor Guardians or other NPCs that follow after them may someday abandon him if he doesn't lived up to their expectations.

He only does things that will benefit Nazarick or himself above all else, whether its information or prestige. Although he does have a sense of justice and doesn't hate humans as much as his followers, Ainz holds no deep attachment to them, and he feels nothing toward their deaths. Ainz did not view humanity as an enemy, but he could kill human beings with no hesitation for the sake of his goals. Even so, he wanted to avoid conflict with other players especially the ones who are human that would protect their kind. After killing Shalltear with his own hands and then reviving her afterwards, he became a lot more vigilant and hostile against players or other foes with World Items that could possibly harm Nazarick in the near future.

On the other hand, Ainz has a competitive side to him, regarding the actions of players within the new world was what motivated him to not fall behind in terms of technological development. Likewise, everything he does was all for the sake of Ainz Ooal Gown, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and the Sorcerer Kingdom altogether. For that reason, Ainz is secretive about the information he may have gain, refusing to disclose anything in case it serves Nazarick's interest. Since Ainz prioritizes knowledge as an utmost importance to him, he also likes to participate in doing random experiments. With the sole purpose of obtaining valuable information on the New World's inhabitants, martial arts, magic, items, or even their way of life such as religion.

In his dark warrior persona as Momon, he is a very dignified as a worthy adamantite adventurer yet he doesn't make others uncomfortable. He also very faithful, shown in the case that he refused Nfirea's request and to prioritize the Swords of Darkness. He also exchanged greetings with every single adventurer's group rather than meeting the princess (he send Nabe instead to prevent Gazef Stronoff from recognizing his voice), showing his caring nature and to sum up that he is as good as his strength.

Background
Before taking on the name of Ainz Ooal Gown in the new world, Momonga was his original name as a player in YGGDRASIL. While in reality, he was a human being by the name of Suzuki Satoru, his true identity. Somewhere during his lifetime, Suzuki lost his mother due to fatigue as she worked herself to death. Her death occurred in the kitchen of Suzuki's home, where she collapsed while pushing herself to make his favorite dish. He vividly remember seeing it happen with his own eyes in the morning upon waking up.

When Suzuki Satoru first started playing YGGDRASIL under the name of Momonga, he was very close to quitting the game. This is because of being discriminated as a member of the Heteromorphic Races that Momonga is hunted down by PKers in groups. Therefore, Momonga himself was seen by other players as a monster who only exist to be killed. However, he was then saved by Touch Me. Since then, both Momonga and Touch Me together made friends with seven others like them to form the First Nine, who started out the PVP/PKER clan, known as the Nine's Own Goal.

After the dissolution of the clan, Nine's Own Goal, however, Momonga now becomes the guildmaster of an official guild called Ainz Ooal Gown upon Touch Me's recommendation, which everybody agreeably accepted. Although Momonga was in the position of a Guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, what he actually did was miscellaneous work like contacting people.

After the guild was created, Momonga would later lead Ainz Ooal Gown and its members to a dungeon called the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Due to Momonga's leadership and cooperation with his guildmates, it led to the guild being able to conquer the Great Tomb of Nazarick and shortly afterwards, also acquiring a World Item called the Throne of Kings the same moment they cleared the dungeon. The dungeon would later serves to be Ainz Ooal Gown's future guild base while dealing with the invasion of players intruding on their location.

Henceforth, the other players started to perceive the guild of heteromorphic races as evil beings. This way, the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown including Momonga thought that it was only proper for them to become real monsters. It was indicated during the players' invasion of their guild base that Ulbert suggesting they should also act as final bosses unless the enemies are able to reach them.

During those years, Momonga and his guildmates spent most of their work and effort focus on building their guild weapon known as the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. In addition to that, Momonga and his guildmates created their own customized NPCs, which for him was Pandora's Actor. He made Pandora's Actor to not only preserve the identity of Ainz Ooal Gown, but to serve in protecting the guild's treasury for starters. At some point in time however, nearly 37 out of his 41 guild mates quit the game altogether, leaving the guild and giving away their player's equipment to Momonga. Not just quit the game, but as well as deleting their character's avatar completely due to real world issues his guild mates had to deal with. He would later stored most of his guildmate's equipment into the treasury for safekeeping. Ainz also made all of the Avataras in the image of his guildmates who quit the game.

Thus, Momonga has ever since began to solo areas and farm for things all alone to keep his guild on top notch shape, which Herohero apparently noticed upon seeing efforts done by him as the guildmaster. The times Momonga spent maintaining the guild base financially have managed to paid off as no players were still not able to conquer the Great Tomb of Nazarick even until the game was fully shutdown. This also applies to the amount of times and efforts he put forward into the game to prevent the guild's rank being formerly 9th from dropping any further than 29th as its current ranking. Strength-wise, he did it on his own without the help from his guildmates around militarily.

Although all the other members had left, he still continue to stay behind and kept the guild's base running. This was so in the hopes that his guild members would one day return back to the game and played with him. Since Momonga doesn't have any real family or friends to support him outside the game, he dedicated his whole life instead to the game itself being YGGDRASIL and just his guild alone. Memories of the time he spent with his friends or guild members in Ainz Ooal Gown were all he had. Momonga's daily livelihood to the game has even go so far to the extent, where he used up most of the money financially obtain by him as a salary man in order to spend time playing it. In other words, Momonga has spent almost one-third of his monthly salary on cash purchases.

The Undead King Arc
Momonga, the guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, was seen conversing together with Herohero during the last moments of YGGDRASIL before shutdown. Herohero would then bid farewell to Momonga and logs out for one and only last time as he has already quit the game. Mentally, Momonga is enraged about his friends leaving the game, but cools down after noting that they didn't abandon the guild - it was that they had real life issues to deal with. Still engrossed in the memories of the past, he takes the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown before heading to the throne room.

Momonga encounters Sebas and Pleiades at the Royal Suite and calls for them to accompany him. At the throne room, he discovers Albedo holding World Items. While he is initially irritated that her creator Tabula Smaragdina broke the guild rules, he quickly forgives him since Albedo was one of his treasured creations. Momonga looks through her settings and reprograms her to be in love with him. Without little time left, he sits at the throne and points at the banners, calling out the names of his guild members while waiting for the server to shut down. Unexpectedly, the server does not shut down and Momonga quickly realizes that something is wrong when the NPCs begin talking. Staying calm, he orders Sebas to survey the surrounding and orders Albedo to assemble the floor guardians at the sixth floor. Brooding to himself, he concludes that all of the NPCs have gained sentience and agonizes over Albedo's modified settings.

Momonga went to the Amphitheater of the six floor and meets with Aura and Mare. He asked the two that he is testing the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. After the experiment he summoned the Primal Fire Elemental and asked Aura if they want to fight it which Aura agree and along with Mare. After that the arrival of the floor guardians are now assemble and pledge their absolute loyalty to Momonga. After confirming their loyalty Momonga went back to the Throne.

After seeing the new world, he went to Mare and reward him the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown for doing a splendid job and he also gives a ring to Albedo too then teleport back to Nazarick.

He realizes that Gazef is their target and he gives him a sculpture for good luck on his battle. He then switch with Gazef and faces the Sunlight Scripture led by Nigun Grid Luin, and offers them to surrender with their life or face death. He uses Negative Burst on the Archangel Flame, then uses Hell Flame on the Principality Observation and finally uses his Black Hole on finishing off the Dominion Authority. He easily defeats the Sunlight Scripture and went back to Carne Village to check Gazef's condition before leaving the village. After Ainz returns to Nazarick, he announces to his NPCs that his name will be renames as Ainz Ooal Gown and orders them to make his named an eternal legend to the New World.

Ainz surveying the area that there is no player in the Kingdom or no one is trying to stop him, Ainz cast the Iä Shub-Niggurath, consuming the left wing of the Royal Army and summoned five Dark Young. Ainz was overjoyed that he breaks a new record for summoning five Dark Young and ordered them to massacre the Kingdom's Army.

Ainz then takes off his mask and called upon the Imperial Army to cheer for his supreme power. One of the Dark Young was returning to Ainz and headed toward the Imperial Army's direction, which caused every single one of the imperial soldiers to run for their lives, trampling over their own allies. The Dark Young placed Ainz on top of its head and Ainz thought after casting his most powerful spell, the Imperial Army would charge in but seeing the carnage it was understandable that the Dark Young did all the work.

In the battlefield, Ainz sitting on top of the Dark Young came to greet Gazef Stronoff with Climb and Brain Unglaus arriving there too. Ainz then asks Gazef to be his vassal in exchange for stopping this war. However, Gazef politely decline his offer, and instead challenged Ainz to a single duel.

Afterwards, Ainz tells Climb and Brain that he will stop the attack but demands them to cede E-Rantel and its surrounding area to him.

Albedo then decides to kill a young boy, who is disturbing their arrival march but was stopped by Momon. Ainz stops Albedo and tells her that Momon will serve him as the sword of the Sorcerer King, which Momon accepts his offer. Afterwards, E-Rantel became a peaceful city without bloodshed under the rule of Ainz Ooal Gown.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
Once the war was over and E-Rantel came under the rule of the Sorcerer Kingdom, Ainz has established the city to become the new capital of his nation. Under his rule, he has to decide on how to procede from their in ruling his nation by implementing new laws, set up defenses, establishing a new governing body, all of which was a lot more than he could handle. In addition, he moved to the former Mayor's residence and set it up as his base of operations.

It was also around this time he took notice of the severe anxiety of the people of coming under the rule of an undead and with all the monstrous beasts that were coming into the city. He also noticed the sever absenteeism of adventurers having new quests or anything to do as his minions have mostly taken care of all the problems that the adventurer's used to take. Ainz came up with the idea to change the Adventurer's Guild main goal from being a mainly monster hunting group into real adventurers that would explore the unknown. He met with the city's guild leader to discuss about it, intriguing him with this new proposition. Ainz would make suggestions such as providing the support and training through Mare's new underground training labyrinth constructed to train new recruits.

However, he has to make his goals known to all adventurers who would come to his kingdom. In order to attract potential new recruits, he decided to head to the Baharuth Empire to spread the word and to obtain some new supplies for his newly-formed organization. Just before he left, he also sent Albedo on a mission to act as an official delegate to the Re-Estize Kingdom to start official ties between the two nations.

He asked Guild Master Ainzach to accompany him to act as both a guide and adviser, recommending Ainz to see Osk who was known as the best weapons merchant in the empire. When he set up the meeting, the two talked a little about each other and start official trade relationship. While at the same time, both men soon came to have a mutual respect with each other. It was to the point, where Ainz even allows Osk to see his undead face and was one of the few humans who did not bear any ill will towards his undead appearance. Along the way, Ainz became interested about a dwarven sword that Osk has in his collection and was particularly curious about the rune inscriptions on it, which bore a striking similarity to his own world.

They also talked about the Martial Lord of the Empire's Gladiator Arena, where Ainz wanted to participate in a battle against him. Since Osk was the current champion's main sponsor and was a fan of strong warriors, he thought it would be interesting to see the fight happen, so he set up a match between the two.

At the Arena, he met face to face with Go Gin and at that moment, the two complimented each other out of mutual respect. Before the fight begins, Ainz turned off his High tier physical damage nullification effect to fight on more equal grounds against the Martial Lord. They also made a deal that if Ainz were to win, Go Gin would become a part of his nation to help trained his new adventurers while if Go Gin were to win, he would eat him, believing he can become more powerful by doing so. After sparring with each other, Ainz finishes the warrior off by striking him with one of the stilettos charged with Fluder's magic and killed him. Afterwards, he began to revive the Martial Lord, proclaiming his intentions to the people in the arena for all to hear publicly.

He came back to E-Rantel, satisfied with his accomplishments and at the same time was confused with Emperor Jircniv's sudden declaration of wanting his empire to become his vassal state. On the other hand, Ainz was more interested in the rune-mark weapon he saw, inciting him to make plans to visit the dwarves and its nation first while leaving the details of the vassalization to Albedo and Demiruge.

The Craftsman of Dwarf Arc
Not long after he came back from his business back in the Empire, Ainz has went and visit the Dwarven Kingdom in order to try to establish official relations with them through trades. More specifically with the objective to understand the runes they crafted into their items and weather if there was a possibility that another player had something to do with them.

It was also around this time that Cocytus has send one of the lizardman to hand his report in. He took the opportunity to ask the lizardman about information on the Dwarves in which he told Ainz that he does not know much other than there was someone from their tribe who had been to their nation before. The lizardman thinks Zenberu would be the best candidate to ask any information on them for that matter regarding the dwarves. After the talk, he also contacted both Fluder and Ainzach for any more information available. Unfortunately, they happen to know very little about it, so Ainz decided he should head to the lizardman village himself to ask for the information directly.

He went to the Lizardman Village to speak with Zenburu Gugu about the Dwarf Kingdom. While at the same time, as well as to offer his blessing for Zaryusu Shasha and Crusch Lulu's new born child, presenting them a gift to the lizardman chief as a reward for his loyalty. He made arrangement in bringing Zenburu with him to readily act as a guide during his journey to the Kingdom via Azerlisia Mountain range. Also, accompanying him along the way were a few of Ainz's personal picked guards, two of his Floor Guardians being Shalltear, Aura and their respective minions.

Finding that the Dwarven Kingdom proved to be a bit of challenge, Ainz has no other choice but to use his memory-control spell to get Zenburu to remember the details of his past journey. However, not even his spell was enough to make Zeburu remember much as they still think the terrain is proven to be very effective in hiding its entrance to the Kingdom. Nevertheless, Ainz and his group ended up eventually finding it, but what they stumbled upon was just an empty city with no signs of dwarves at all.
