Sebas Tian


 * "Taking you easy? No, you are the ones who're taking me easy. My name is Sebas. The one who gave me my name is the strongest warrior. The master I serve is a Supreme Being. But, I can see it's no use talking about him to lower creatures such as yourselves. I grow tired of talking. Let's finish this."
 * - Sebas Tian to Six Arms.

Sebas Tian (セバス・チャン) is the head butler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick with several menservants and other butlers under his command. He was created by Touch Me. He is also the leader of the Pleiades Six Stars.

Although he is not one of the Floor Guardians, his power closely rivals theirs. In a way, he is independent of their chain of command. He originally served as Nazarick's last line of defense alongside the Pleiades on the 9th Floor, to give time for the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown to prepare for their final stand in the Throne Room.

Appearance
Sebas Tian has the appearance of an elderly butler and he is dressed gracefully in his traditional black uniform. Sebas's hair is entirely white, just like his immaculate beard. He has visible wrinkles on his hollow face, which makes him seem gentle in appearance, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's. However, in the manga his beard is longer, his shoulders are not as broad, and his face is also older.

Personality
Like his creator, Touch Me, Sebas Tian has a great deal of personal justice. Unlike many other denizens in Nazarick, he does not completely despise humans or see them as inferior creatures. Instead, he believes that some humans are good people and it is the duty of the strong to protect the weak. Humans with an ugly nature disgust him and he will not hesitate to kill anyone who dares to oppose Nazarick. Sebas also tends to question his own actions whether it was right or wrong of him to do them contrary to his master's order. Not sure why he does it, Sebas does believe that Touch Me's will was what encouragingly motivated him to act the way he did and that it conflicts with the will of his current master.

When encountering humans who are not purely motivated by personal gain, Sebas believes this was the reason of why he could not bring himself to hate humanity. Sebas believed that it was wrong to cast out a pitiable existence simply due to possibilities of risk. Because of the conflict in his personalities mirroring Touch Me, like Demiurge to Ulbert, the two NPCs do not appear to get along very well with each other, as their characteristics are polar opposites. According to the author Maruyama, the reason behind why Sebas had quite a decent personality was due to not having any settings written by his creator Touch Me at all. He even noted largely, because he is a blank-slate character, the number one NPC most influenced by their creator was particularly Sebas.

He is kind and friendly towards humans. Sebas acts heroic in what he does, looking and wanting to help as many people around him as he could. If he sees someone in trouble, Sebas would go out of his way to lend a hand until it is done from start to end. He would delay his duty and mission a little longer to take care of lesser important matters like those first. Nevertheless, Sebas have no intention of saving those who only pray for others to extend a helping hand. However, he would go forth to help any like Tuare out in their hour of need if in the event that someone is struggling and striving to live.

Background
Sebas Tian was created as a butler by Touch Me. He and the Pleiades served as a last line of defense against intruders, holding them off for as long as possible. However, because he is unlikely able to stand against enemy players who managed to come this far, his only real purpose was to distract the invaders until the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown were fully able to prepare for their final stand in the Throne Room. While so, Sebas does not seem to hold as much malice and hate towards outsiders like humans than his fellow Nazarick denizens who does.

Unlike most residents of the tomb, Sebas harbors doubts about their thought process where "Everything which does not belong to Nazarick is an inferior lifeform," and "Other than a rare few exceptions, humans and demi-humans are weaklings that must be trampled." Rather than follow by their creed, Sebas operated by his creator’s credo that "those who do not save the weak cannot call themselves strong." However, after meeting wretched individuals like Zach, he starts to feel that there might be some truth to what the Nazarick's denizens say after all.

When on a reconnaissance mission with Solution, Sebas had not permitted her to capture and eat any humans during their journey, save the ones who had tried to ambush them. In Re-Estize while gathering information, he usually pay a visit to the Adventurer's Guild every morning and recorded all the requests on the notice board in his notebook before the adventurers could take them. Along the way at some point, he had also pay several visits to the Magician's Guild to purchase low-tier magic scrolls every now and then. Sebas had committed all the information he had obtained in the Royal Capital even street gossip to paper before sending it to Nazarick as reports.

Currently, after the founding of the Sorcerer Kingdom, Sebas' duty and mission has been relocated to E-Rantel at the moment under Ainz's order.

The Undead King Arc
Sebas was the second person Momonga spoke to when he first arrived in the New World. His orders were to exit the Great Tomb of Nazarick and immediately investigate the surrounding region after it was transported into the New World. Under Momonga's order, if Sebas encounter intelligent creatures, he must interact peacefully with such lifeforms and invite them to the Tomb. For that reason, Sebas was tasked with attempting to accommodate the other party as much as possible during negotiations. While so, he cannot stray more than one kilometer from the tomb and avoid unnecessary combat.

Sebas found that the tomb is surrounded by grassland, with no intelligent creatures or man-made structures in sight except for Nazarick. He found the skies in the New World as completely normal and similar to Nazarick much to Momonga's surprise. Sebas continues his investigation of gathering information about the outside world for as long as twenty minutes before he heads back to Nazarick. When he returns to the tomb, Sebas would later report this finding including the small animals with no combat power spotted to all who are present including the Floor Guardians on the 6th Floor, Amphitheater. Since Momonga suggested ideas for how to protect Nazarick, Sebas believes that they should be able to perform some sort of eye-deceiving camouflage to fool invaders like Mare wanted. Before Momonga leaves the meeting, Sebas made sure to pay his respects to him, describing Nazarick's ruler as merciful for staying by their side until the very end and having not abandon them like the other 40 Supreme Beings.

Once the meeting is over and Momonga had left the Amphitheater, Sebas informs Albedo that he is going to part ways with the Floor Guardians in order to return to his master's side. Before he sets off, Sebas was advised by Albedo to report to her if anything happens on his end especially in the event that Momonga were to summon the Floor Guardian Overseer, he must let her know immediately.

When Momonga returned after surveying Nazarick, Sebas lectured and accosted him for not bringing his personal guards along during his excursion to the surface. The butler stood by Momonga's side the entire time as he was experimenting with the Mirror of Remote Viewing, and praised his master when he successfully figured out how to control it. However, upon seeing how Sebas sternly view the massacre occurring in Carne Village, Momonga could not help but feel obliged to help the villagers at the sight of the situation. With Ainz heading out to save the village, Sebas was given the order to put Nazarick on maximum alert and tell Albedo to be fully equipped but without Ginnungagap before having her follow after his master. After that, Sebas had to prepare support units which will be sent to the village stealthily and invisibly to keep close watch and guard over it.

The Emissary of the King Arc
Sebas Tian is summoned by Ainz to give a report on the status of the regular maids. Sebas Tian states that they are performing their duties as intended. He is stunned that Ainz wishes to give the maids and manservants breaks, as it is unnecessary due to the magical items they use to eliminate fatigue and the idea of resting when they should be serving the Supreme Being. He comes around to the idea in that Ainz reasons that the breaks are are opportunities for self-reflection to improve themselves better in serving him. Now a firm believer, Sebas Tian eagerly states that he will handle the management and incorporate it to the maids' schedule.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
While Ainz had been masquerading as an adventurer, Sebas and Solution Epsilon were ordered to disguise themselves as wealthy and influential humans to gather information. Particularly, the roles they played were an elderly butler and a spoiled, rich noble. Under Ainz's order, Sebas and Solution were both instructed to capture human criminals who know Martial Arts or magic, whose absence will go unnoticed.

At the Shining Golden Pavilion, Sebas and Solution had lodged in this inn under the backstory of being an heiress and her faithful butler who hailed from a city in some part of the Baharuth Empire. They had shown the ample purchasing power such a background would merit, in order to see how the people around them would react. After Solution made loud complaints about the food, giving everyone a bad impression of her, it was Sebas's turn to act. Sebas apologized for her behavior and offered to pay for everyone's meals. As they prepared to leave, Zach, a hired hand, attempted to delay their departure with his own excuses. Sebas sees through his treachery and allows him to finish whatever he needs to do while their luggage were being packed onto the wagon.

Sebas approached by Baldo Lauffray, was reminded that Zach is not trustworthy for the job of handling transportation. Although Sebas reasons to the merchant that this was a choice decided by his mistress, he was advised by the latter to have Solution reconsider her decision. However, Sebas made Baldo believe that he cannot question his mistress Solution's decision, reasoning that her father's kindness was part of why he won't go against it or her requests. Hence, Sebas decline Baldo's offer to have bodyguards traveled along with him and Solution, solely because his mistress don't like having people by her side.

Afterwards, he visited Solution in private to tidy the remaining luggage. He allows Solution to rest until they are ready to set out while verifying from her to see if their prey Zach is moving according to their plan. When Solution asked of disposing the man, he say it should be acceptable as long as she get permission from Shalltear. Upon clearing up the luggage, he had Solution gave him a summary report of what Zanac was plotting with his collaborator.

As the carriage goes on its way, Sebas engaged in a discussion with Shalltear, who joined them on their segment of the journey. He learns the origin of Shalltear's relationship with Aura was connected to their creators being siblings. Not only but Sebas' misconception of the seiyuu was also cleared up by Shalltear after the latter clarify to him what its true power was. When Shalltear asked why neither he nor Demiurge get along with each other, Sebas admits he have no clue himself why but felt it was some instinct and feeling from his creator deeply engraved within him.

On the other hand, Sebas told Shalltear about the tale of the time when outsiders invaded Nazarick and how the 8th Floor put an end to their invasion. He informs Shalltear that Ainz's personal NPC creation does not lied on the 8th Floor but in Nazarick's Treasury where it is guarded by Pandora's Actor. Knowing that the mystery of the 8th Floor remains unknown to them both, he advised Shalltear to not illegally access that location until their master Ainz finally permit them. Sebas had also asked Shalltear for permission to let Solution have Zach for herself which she accepted.

Sebas got into an heated exchange with Shalltear upon mentioning the fact that either Demiurge or Aura were suitable for her job than she can do. Threatened with violence by Shalltear, Sebas apologetically admits he had misspoke by accident and that his concern for the vampire was whether she got [Blood Frenzy] under control in their mission. Once the bandits targeting them had been lured out and slaughtered, Sebas and Solution split off from her, taking control of the carriage used formerly by Zanac.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
and The Men in the Kingdom II Arc While walking as a passerby the streets of Re-Estize, Sebas came across an old lady in trouble and lend the latter a hand by walking her home. When he got done sending the old lady home, Sebas continued on to his original destination which is the Kingdom's Magician's Guild. He goes there to examine various magic scrolls on sale and look to purchase one that caught his interest, choosing to get the kind that is imbued with the 1st tier spell, [Floating Board].

After buying a Floating Board Scroll, Sebas calls on his Shadow Demon to go and inform Solution that he will be returning late. With that settled, he plans to move independently as part of his intelligence-gathering duties, seeking to fully familiarize himself with the layout of the Re-Estize Capital. Moving away from the central district of the capital, he took a shortcut through a very secluded, back alleyway. While walking by a pub, a sack is thrown out of the door which Sebas had taken notice of much to his displeasure. Looking to overlook what he had seen, Sebas attempt to move pass it until something took hold of his leg. Sebas' leg was gripped by a badly beaten girl who stared at him as if she is asking for help desperately.

Before Sebas could completely asked her to let go of him, some man came out from the pub's door to confront him. Sebas got into an argument with the man, threateningly interrogating him about the origin of this badly-beaten girl. Nonetheless, Sebas was warned by the man that the girl belongs to his group and if he was to take the girl away from him, it would be consider breaking the Kingdom's law and is viewed as kidnapping. Sebas was provoke further by the man that he would be troubling his master/mistress if she caught wind of his action. However, Sebas counters back with a lie he made up that there is a law in the Kingdom which requires him helping those in need without fear of legal consequences.

Meanwhile, Sebas asked the woman if she wanted to be saved by him. After getting a reply from her, he prepares to take her home with him before being stopped by the man. The man attempts to convince Sebas not to rescue her when both their lives will be put at risk by the Eight Fingers as the butler is interfering with their criminal operation. In the end, Sebas decided to lend the man a pouch of money to hire an adventurer who can help him flee from the Eight Fingers. This way, Sebas thought it would also help himself buy some time to heal Tuare and bring her to his mansion safe and sound.

Upon his return to the mansion, Sebas had Solution healed the wounds of Tuare using the Healing Scroll and perform a health examination on her. Sebas also orders Solution to not report this to Ainz or Nazarick as he doesn't want to trouble his master with such matter concerning Tuare. Leaving Solution to take care of her wounds, he went off to buy food to prepare for Tuare until she regains consciousness. After she is fully recovered and having ate her supple, the woman reveals herself to Sebas as Tuare while he introduces himself as being a servant of his mistress Solution. Sebas reassures Tuare to be at ease and have a good rest as she is safe from harm under his protection, comforting the girl with a hug. He also wiped away her tears with a handkerchief after recalling that his master had done something like that to Shalltear. Seeing that Tuare had nobody to turn to for help in leaving the capital safely, Sebas considers the idea of making her a maid.

On the other hand, he was then questioned by Solution Epsilon as to why he would take a human girl back to their place which could jeopardize their mission. Sebas states that Tuare could be useful for their cover, as she would act as a servant in their mansion, making it look less suspicious of having just the two of them around. While Tuare works as a maid in the mansion where she had to cook food, Sebas made the choice to head to the markets and buy ingredients for her to use in making them. However, with his intention to have the girl get accustom to the outside world, Sebas easily convinced Tuare to go shopping with him next time. He reaffirm his promise to Tuare that he will eliminate any danger which may befall her, telling the girl to be at ease and have faith in him. When he brought up Solution to Tuare and the way she avoided her, he reassures the girl that his mistress often tends to act that way with everyone. He went as far as to compliment Tuare the beauty of her looks so that she feels more confidence in her own appearance, offering positive words of comfort before then hugging her.

Afterward, a group of guards led by Staffan Heivish and Succulent turned up accusing them of slave trafficking, making demands for them to pay a heavy fine and turn Tuare over to their custody. Sebas quickly realizes that these are corrupted guards working on the behest of the criminal group that he saved Tuare from. After getting the guards to leave without a fight. Sebas decides to go out and crush the criminal group to prevent any further trouble.

Sebas noticed that someone was following him and finds a boy being beaten up by a group of men. Sebas got into a fight with them and easily beat up the leader of the group, scaring the men away. Sebas meets Climb, who asked him to teach him how to fight. Sebas test Climb's determination by swinging his fist with intent to kill. Climb barely manages to move out of the way by overcoming his fear. They were interrupted by Brain Unglaus, who was watching them. They were then they are ambushed by assassins and managed to defeat them. They interrogated one of them and were told that they were sent to kill Sebas by Succulent of Six Arms. Sebas, along with Climb and Brain raided the brothel and successfully captured Cocco Doll and Succulent. Sebas returned to the mansion and was met with Solution out of her disguise, and in full battle maid equipment. She promptly states that Ainz Ooal Gown is waiting for him.

Sebas is then questioned by Ainz to test his loyalty and is ordered to kill Tuare. He attempted to kill her seriously but was blocked by Cocytus, stating that Sebas had already proved his loyalty. Afterward, Sebas is relieved to find that Tuare became a maid of Nazarick and is under the protection of his master's name. After the mission to gather information and the process of moving all the wheat from the storage in the Royal Capital is finished, Sebas and Solution prepare to return to Nazarick. However, Sebas finds out that Tuare is kidnapped by Eight Fingers and contacts Ainz immediately afterward.

Ainz was furious and ordered Albedo to send Demiurge, and several powerful servants to punish Eight Fingers. Sebas offered his thanks to Ainz for the support. Demiurge then explained his plan and sent him and Solution to rescue Tsuare.

By coincidence, Sabas then meets up with Climb, Brain, and Lockmeier. They exchanged information on their situation and decided that Brain, Climb and Lockmeier would search for Tuare, while Sebas went to the arena where four members of Six Arms were waiting for him. Sebas arrived as they are ready to execute him, but none were even capable of scratching him, and he kills them all in less than twenty seconds. He then leaves Solution to kidnap the audience in the arena and goes off to search for Tuare.

While Climb's group was facing Zero, Sebas entered the area after having rescued Tuare and tells Zero that he killed all of his subordinates. Zero responded by using his strongest attack on Sebas but he withstood it easily leaving Zero dumbstruck. He then kills Zero with a heel dropkick. After bidding farewell to Climb and Brain, Sebas carried Tuare with him to Nazarick, accompanied by Solution.

Ainz Raises Money Arc
When lending money to the Floor Guardians, Ainz indirectly ordered both Sebas Tian and Narberal Gamma to buy things for them. Later, Sebas, along with Narberal were called upon by the Floor Guardians to take part in an emergency meeting over the new cache of money they received from their master.

During the meeting, when the Floor Guardians began consulting Sebas and Narberal for market items that are worth exactly three gold coins, the two were unable to think of anything. Sebas intervened in the Floor Guardians' discussion, stating that Ainz may have been wanting to teach them the local cost of commodities in the surrounding lands. He thought that Ainz's intention for the Floor Guardians was to educate them in considering smaller factors when operating outside of Nazarick. At the same time, he began reflecting on his own past mistakes when dealing with Tuare and believed it was Ainz's motivation for doing this.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Sebas and Solution were present in the Throne Room of Nazarick, where Ainz personally thanked the two for their efforts in gathering information. Ainz offered Sebas a reward, where he initially declines, but gives into his master's insistence, requesting that he would be given clothes for Tuare. Not wanting to acquire high-grade materials from Ainz's collection, he asked if he'd be allowed to go with Tuare to the Kingdom's Royal Capital to shop for some clothes for her.

Though Yuri commented that the human was growing tired and requested to take a break, Sebas insisted that her training must continue. His reasons for pushing her was to prepare Tuare's for her role as a head maid in E-Rantel. Due to such important a role being bestowed upon her, he did not wish to embarrass Ainz.

Nazarick Mythology Arc
Sebas Tian attends a meeting with the Floor Guardians to devise a myth of Ainz Ooal Gown to incorporate in human society. He is the first to start, where his myth was centered around the Supreme Beings being viewed as righteous entities. When the world falls into chaos Ainz Ooal Gown as a hero of justice descends and restores order. Ainz notes it to be heavily based on Touch Me's notions and ideas.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Although Sebas was supposed to be on standby in the city of E-Rantel, he had chosen to return back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick and seek out his master. Upon seeing Ainz's return to Nazarick as well, Sebas informs his master that he was requested by the Area Guardians, Pestonya and Nigredo who had not received permission to leave their area to speak with him privately in their behest. Ainz agrees to the request and allows Sebas permission to join him in the Frozen Prison where Nigredo and Pestonya were at on the 5th Floor of Nazarick.

Once they are present, before beginning the main topic of discussion, Sebas lets Ainz sample some plain biscuits that he obtain from E-Rantel, explaining how the fortress city was able to develop it as part of the a food culture that had begun to change slowly. While so, he informs his master about the current abundance of cheap and fresh ingredients being brought into the city and how it helps made food like the biscuits improved. With that small talk out of the way, Ainz decided to shift the conversation back to why he visited the Frozen Prison in the first place.

During the main topic of discussion, when Ainz got done rejecting most of their suggestions with reason, Sebas who appears silent since their previous topic until he caught his master's attention. When his master look his way, Sebas voice his appreciation of Ainz for coming out here to listen to their suggestions. However, the moment Pestonya brought up the idea of letting humans escape alive as fearmongers who can start spreading the news of opposing the Sorcerer Kingdom to be hopeless, Ainz has decided to take the maid's suggestion into consideration.

 * (To Tuare): "Please do not let it bother you. It is a great honor for a man to lend his chest to a crying woman."
 * (To Tuare): "A handkerchief that cannot be used is a sad one indeed, especially one that cannot even wipe away a person’s tears."
 * (To Tuare): "Jewels are like that. Those without scratches are considered beautiful and valuable."
 * (To Tuare): "Like how people have their own definition of what they consider beautiful, 'I' believe that if a person's beauty lies separate from their appearance, it is not in their past, but their heart. Although I do not know all of your history, from what I have sensed of your inner self for these past few days spent with you, I do not consider you dirty in the slightest."
 * (To Climb): "Whether you survive is up to you...If you have something that you hold dear, a reason to crawl forward and cling onto your life, you will be fine."
 * (To Brain Unglaus): "It means that his loyalty was greater than his fear. Unglaus-sama, humans are able to display an incredible power if it is for those who are important to them. Like how a mother raises a pillar to save her child trapped in a house, like how a husband supports his wife with one hand when she is about to fall, I believe that is the strength of humans. This person here as well, he displayed that strength. And he is not alone in this.

If your opponent had the resolve to sacrifice an arm, it would have certainly meant your death. If your strength leaves you, win with your head. There are times when the mind surpasses the body."
 * (To Tuare): "I am a loyal servant to Ainz-sama and the 41 Supreme Beings. Even if a similar situation occurs, I will follow their order...So please, be happy amongst the humans. I will petition him to allow it...Ainz-sama can manipulate memories, so ask him to erase all your bad memories and be happy."
 * (To Tuare): "...You seem to take joy even in the most insignificant things. You are simply thinking that because of the hell you have been through."
