Azuth Aindra

Azuth Aindra (アズス・アインドラ) is an adamantite ranked adventurer and a member of Red Drop. He is also a noble and the uncle of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra.

Appearance
Azuth is presumably middle-aged, with handsome features and an athletic build. He has long blonde hair, which is mostly trimmed back, with streaks framing his face, his right streak is dyed red, and displays a long braid tied behind his left ear. He also sports a dark goatee, also braided. Beneath the clothing he wore, it was said that Azuth possess well-defined abs and puffed-up pecs.

Personality
According to Lakyus, Azuth was the type to act all honest and upstanding when meeting someone for the first time. She even said he was also the type to spout corny lines. Azuth was also the kind of person who dislike the proper etiquette of being called by his full name. Even when he was under the presence of people more powerful than him, he was not the least bit afraid of provoking them regardless as noted by Lakyus.

Later it was shown that Azuth himself possess several "eccentric" traits, with this traits being his extremely luscious/perverted/sexually free mindset/lifestyle, as seen where he possessed little to no shame at openly inviting his niece and her teammates into a room while he was sexually fondling two half-naked escorts. With Azuth himself deeming his mindset to be "normal" despite his niece's repeated saying that it was not.

Background
Azuth is a descendant of a member of the Thirteen Heroes and inherited his ancestor's battle suit, which gives him abilities on-par with a level 60. With this power, Azuth became a member of the Re-Estize Kingdom's first Adamantite-Ranked Adventurer Group, Red Drop.

At some point, however, Azuth left the group and went into retirement. He also gave up his title as a noble, though he remains an honorary knight. While in retirement, he shared tales about his adventures with his niece, Lakyus, which inspired her to become one as well.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
and The Men in the Kingdom II Arc Azuth is mentioned when Gazef asks Climb which Aindra is meeting with Princess Renner. During the Demonic Disturbance, Lakyus had managed to make contact with him and his team, however since they were in a secret mission in the Argland Council State, they were unable to reach them in time to help.

While Lakyus fight off the demons, she began pondering who was it that said she should be using her head for better things, thinking it was either Evileye or her uncle Azuth.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Azuth appeared at E-Naüru where he saved Scama Elbero and her team from a Death Knight and Death Warrior at the Battle of E-Naüru. Using his Armor of Reinforcement he easily dispatched the undead. After giving Four Armaments a salute, he flew from the battlefield.

Azuth later reappeared in the royal capital and attempted to convince his brother to escape the Kingdom. His brother refused to heed his warning, but allowed his son to be placed under Azuth's care. Azuth then ordered his team to transport his nephew to the Council State while he remained behind in the Kingdom as he was called to a secret meeting along with his niece and Blue Roses.

He was already waiting at the predetermined inn fooling around with two escort women, by the time Blue Roses arrived. After Evileye used her abilities to get the escorts to leave, Azuth though disappointed that his fun was over offered Blue Roses to use the escape route he planned in the event of the Kingdom's demise. The adventurers refused intending to stay and fight, which Azuth believed was hopeless against the Sorcerer King after taking into careful consideration the various rumors surrounding that undead entity. Hence, he refused his niece's offer to join their fight against the Sorcerer King, advising her that the Sorcerer King was not an opponent mere humans like them should face off against but by other fellow monsters like it. He and the members of Blue Roses were then greeted by the arrival of the party who called who joined late to the meeting.

Led by a strange man and three compatriots, the identities of their mysterious hosts were revealed to be not just from the Slane Theocracy, but members of its elite unit, the Black Scripture. He demanded and asked the mysterious group about what country of their origin do they hailed from to which the 11th Seat of the Black Scripture responded but was stopped by her colleague, the 12th Seat. After seeing how the 5th Seat of the Black Scripture try to cover up their place of origin with an apology for interrupting what the former's colleague had to say, Azuth calls them out by stating that they're from the Slane Theocracy much to Blue Roses' shock. Azuth then went on to request the members of the Black Scripture on working together alongside the members of Blue Roses to fight the Sorcerer King to which the latter representative who is the 5th Seat rejected. Seeing that the 5th Seat is dodging his question with a scapegoat answer to be part of the higher-up's orders, he decided to still go out of his way and ask for their opinion anyways.

Before the Black Scripture head their separate ways from the adamantite adventurers, he questions the 5th Seat about whether Rufus is doing okay in the Theocracy much to his confusion. He egged the Black Scripture members further by inquiring the etiquette way of how they normally address an undead like Rufus as their lord.

Upon questioning them in that manner, he immediately received hostility by all four members of the Black Scripture present until they all eventually left the meeting afterward. After they were gone for good, he was scolded by his niece for attempting to provoke the Black Scripture. If not for the 5th Seat stopping his other Black Scripture members, Azuth believes that he would have probably been dead by now.

Shortly later, he was then asked by her what his plans are next since their meeting was now over and done with. Azuth revealed to her that he plans to wait around until the Sorcerer King’s army made its way to the capital. He noted how there was already a plan to send soldiers to the neighboring territories to take formations while seeing the possibility of them having a chance at victory was zero to none. He told Lakyus and the other members of Blue Roses that the Sorcerer King and his lackeys will come to the Re-Estize city sooner or later.

He suggests the adventurer group to run away instead while they still can for the sake of their own safety as Lakyus and her companions are not strong enough to trade blows with that undead. Caring for his niece's well-being, Azuth reiterated everything he had said before once more to emphasize that the Sorcerer King's power is not something to be trifle with and that they should run away. He told Evileye that even if the Sorcerer King occupies Re-Estize, he alone will be able to still escape alive. As they part ways, he went to the other room where his ladies are at after they were drove off by Evileye to work his hips.

Abilities and Powers
Even though Aindra is part of an adamantite team, he is actually far weaker than the rest of his peers in terms of pure strength and his actual power directly more comes from using the YGGDRASIL item that he owns in order to beat stronger opponents with his entire class and skills focused on using it.

Job Classes

 * Fighter (?)
 * Sniper (?)
 * Athletic Master (?)

Equipment

 * Armor of Reinforcement
 * Magic Gun (Sub-Machine Variant)

Ainz Ooal Gown
Even though Azuth hasn't personally met the Overlord in person, he was convinced that this war was going to end with Re-Estize wiped out. He also aware that even with his gear he is no match to be able to fight the powerful undead and would rather flee than face him directly.

Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra
Azuth is presumably close with his niece, Lakyus, as he told her stories of his adventures when she was young, which served as her inspiration to become an adventurer in her own right.

Later it was revealed that Laykus, while admiring and respecting her uncle as an adventurer, is greatly embarrassed by her Uncle's luscious tendencies and perverted/sexually exacerbated lifestyle due to her own pious beliefs as a priestess, causing her to constantly berate him due to his apparent shamelessness in openly having sexual relationships with escorts right in front of her and his own deeming that this behavior was "normal".

However despite these eccentrics when interacting with his niece, Azuth was noted to genuinely love and care for her, as seen where he offered Laykus and her teammates the chance to escape the Kingdom in order to avoid the Sorcerer Kingdom's onslaught of annihilation.

Unnamed Nephew
Although their exact relationship is unknown, Azuth was shown to have a positive enough relationship with his brother's son in order to help him escape from the Re-Estize Kingdom after the Sorcerer Kingdom declared full blown war on their homeland to the safety of the Argland Council State, after being requested by his father (Azuth's Brother).

Unnamed Brother
Azuth is also known to have a positive relationship with his brother, as seen where he was willing enough to accept and take on his personal request from him to evacuate his son to the safety of the Argland Council State for him. Azuth in turn was shown to be happy enough to take on the request and even have his entire team leave him behind in order to insure his nephew's safety.

Gazef Stronoff
It seems that Azuth and Gazef were on bad terms as the latter was surprised and somewhat nervous when informed Aindra is visiting, only display relief when revealed to be Lakyus.

Trivia

 * According to Lakyus, he seems to possess some sort of crucial intel on the Theocracy.

Quotes

 * (According to Lakyus): "If you long for a hero, then it is that hero’s duty to grant your wish."
 * (To Lakyus): "Naaah, I thought that you guys would come a bit later. Uhh, I'm not actually doing it on the bed anyway, so why should it matter?"
 * (To Lakyus): "You're just too inflexible in your ways of thought! It is in every man's nature to want to fuck beautiful women. My children would probably be born with the same gift too. Don't you know that it’s important to ensure that our bloodline continues on?"
 * (To Lakyus): "Hmm? Oy oy, you came here without knowing about them? Hmm, they're someone with a massive organization behind them, probably."
 * (To Lakyus): "...Pfff. Think over it. The Sorcerer King's army has killed every civilian along its way towards here and razed the cities too. To think that the capital would be any different, aren't you being a little too naive?"
 * (To Lakyus about the Sorcerer King): "It's impossible. Because I did not confirm his power directly, I could not say for sure. But if the rumours are all real, I— we can't win against that guy. Only a monster could fight that monster, it would be unwise for humans to intervene."
 * (To Lakyus): "...I knew this was a waste of time, that was why I did not bring the rest of the team along. I also told my brother to run away."
 * (To Lakyus): "Haaah. "What a bunch of...idiots. But, he did put his child under my care. They were taken by my companions to the Council-State and are probably there already."
 * (To the Black Scripture): "Oy oy oy, you're late already so don't go around spreading that dangerous aura. Did management mandate that you do? Do something this boring?"
 * (To the 11th Seat): "Hmph, this place was the exact reason why I called them over, I wanted you all to be as disgusted as I was."
 * (To the 5th Seat): "Trying to use your orders as a scapegoat, I see. Still, I'm interested to hear your personal opinion."
 * (To the 5th Seat about Rufus): "Oy, speaking of which...the mister named Rufus or Roof-Ass, is he still okay?"
 * (To the 5th Seat): "—Ah, is that so. I suppose it's only natural for people of your rank to not know him by name after all. So, how do you guys usually address that undead? Milord or something?"
 * (To Lakyus about the Black Scripture after they left): "Hah...? Indeed, that was pretty dangerous. I did not expect them to antagonize us that hard. If it wasn't for that man with the fake smile, I would have been dead. They were probably thinking something along the lines of, ‘rather than dirty our own hands, it'll be more beneficial if we let the Sorcerer King have his fill first before we have ours’ or something. Though I doubt we were worth that kind of consideration."
 * (To Lakyus): "Yup. I will do what I do best, and you should do what you do best. However, for the sake of my cute niece I will reiterate again. It's best for you all to run away. You are all nothing in the face of the Sorcerer King’s power."
 * (To Evileye): "Indeed, even I could not win against the Sorcerer King. I am but a mere man. But, even if the Sorcerer King surrounds the entire capital, I alone could still escape."
