Marquis Boullope


 * "Hmph! Who's this Ainz Ooal Gown? Like Lindon said, what can one man do? If he flies, we'll shoot him down with bows. The same if he attacks from far away. What can one magic caster do? Those stories of magic casters who change the battlefield by themselves are just that, stories!"
 * - Boullope disregarding the threat of the self-proclaimed Sorcerer King.

Appearance
Marquis Boullope's age was around in the fifties and his face was heavily scarred, like that of a warlord.

The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
When the Baharuth Empire declared that it would conquer the fortress city of E-Rantel for its rightful ruler, Boullope was confident that the Royal Army would overwhelm the Empire and its new ally, Ainz Ooal Gown. He also convinced King Ramposa III to allow Barbo to take a unit of five thousand men to investigate Carne Village and its relationship with the magic caster.

Marquis Boullope commanded the left-wing of the Royal Army before the battle in the Katze Plains. He was among those that were killed by the spell Ainz used to summon the Dark Young.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
Marquis Boullope and Marquis Raeven was mentioned in passing by the mercenary leader escorting Christopher Olson and his cargo to Re-Robel. He labeled them as nobles that were the riskiest to pick a fight with. Both of them have strong armies stationed within their own territories and it’d be dangerous to bump into them. The mercenary warned that even though the two nobles both suffered great losses in the war their caravan shouldn’t be careless.

Ramposa III

Barbro Andrean Ield Ryle Vaiself
Marquis Boullope sponsored Barbro's claim to the throne and even married his own daughter to him. However, it's implied he actually just wanted to turn him into a puppet ruler under his control. Because of the resources, he put into him, the Marquis went to great lengths to ensure his safety, even if it's against the prince's will.

Elias Brandt Dale Raeven
Marquis Boullope sees Marquis Raeven as a fellow member from the Noble faction unaware that Marquis Reaven is actually the leader of the Royal Faction. He knew the man was talented, and as a result, criticizing him would be very difficult. When he suggest by making himself command the Royal Army, the King choose Marquis Raeven instead, he could not complain if it was Marquis Raeven.

More importantly, Marquis Raeven had broad connections, and many of his men owed him favors. If he tried to criticize Marquis Raeven too harshly, it would only make them doubt him instead.

Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra
In the Mass for the Dead continuity, it's revealed that Boullope knew Lakyus during her younger years when she was a noblewoman. It appears that she caused a disruption at a ball once at his residence, though he forgave her. It's also hinted that they may have a familial relationship as he insisted her in calling him "uncle."
