Suzuki Satoru

Suzuki Satoru (鈴木悟) is the main protagonist of the Overlord Bonus Volume. Similar to his mainstream counterpart, Suzuki Satoru finds himself in the New World after the shutdown of YGGDRASIL. Though he appears two hundred years from the current series.

Appearance
Suzuki Satoru has the appearance of an Overlord, an undead skeleton creature who is devoid of skin and flesh. He tends to mainly wear an elaborate, jet-black academic gown adorned with golden and violet edges. When he had no clothes on, his whole body alone is purely made up of just his bones. He also has a dark red orb floating under his ribs that emanates a feeling of dread.

Furthermore, he has a type of tiny dark red glow radiating from inside his empty eye sockets. Sometimes, however, that glow can become largely intensified, leading it to elicit faint reddish flames flickering about in both his two eyes. Additionally, Satoru has a dark halo-like object glimmering right behind his head.

Personality
Like his mainstream counterpart Ainz Ooal Gown, Suzuki Satoru is reminiscent about the old times he spent in the game alongside his guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown. In addition, Satoru is still operating under the mindset of a YGGDRASIL player, believing that there are powerful foes secretly lurking all around him.

This anxiety and paranoia Suzuki has about these foes often led him to overestimate their capabilities than normally. It came to the point where he tactically made strategies ahead of time in case he assumes the worst scenario will happen to him. He conducts these plans with caution and made changes to them accordingly whenever it doesn't happen as planned. Since he is no longer in a game, Suzuki also acts doubtful towards his own abilities as a magic caster.

Being the former salary-man that he is, Suzuki would approach people like Keno Fasris Invern with a tactful mind, using and relying on his previous real-world experience for guidance along the way. Nevertheless, Suzuki is a reasonable person who was willing to offer a way in helping Keno out with her situation shortly after meeting her. He is also an ambitious person who does experiments for the right reason, trying to better understand the differences and similarities between YGGDRASIL and the New World logically.

Background
Suzuki Satoru supposedly has the same origins and background as his counterpart, Ainz Ooal Gown. Unlike Ainz, Suzuki has no NPCs or many collections of items from the Great Tomb of Nazarick to depend and rely upon. Furthermore, this was due to the fact that they were not transported together with him in the New World.

During the final day of YGGDRASIL before its imminent shutdown, Suzuki thought about organizing a certain plan he had prepared for today. In order to celebrate with his friends who had managed to come back to the guild on the last day of this game's operation, Suzuki had gone to a shopping district that he almost never visited. There, he would go around purchasing vast quantities of items, intending to utilize them to conduct an event.

However, due to getting bored while doing so, Suzuki only utilized 75% of the ten thousand fireworks which he bought from the shopping district and arranged it in a small island floating above the Grenbera Swamp. His original intention was to take part in the event with several guild members, setting off fireworks and watching it occur with him. Unfortunately, since none of them had stayed around until the very end, the continuation of the plan was no longer considered a necessity to him.

In the end, Suzuki spent his remaining time outside Nazarick, watching other fireworks be set off into the sky from afar alone with nobody around by his side but him.

The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country Arc
Finding himself in a ruined city Suzuki decides to explore. He finds that the city is overrun by zombies. Noting that he wasn't in YGGDRASIL anymore, he senses the presence of an undead that is behaving strangely in that it intentional runs away from him compared to the other mindless zombies. Suzuki catches the undead who turns out to be a little girl. Suzuki guesses that she is a vampire and courteously introduces himself and wishes to learn what is going on. The girl with great hesitation gives her name as Keno Fasris Invern and after bringing him to her home in the sewers later explains her story to him and the fate of Inveria. The nation had been cursed with some sort of spell turning the inhabitants into zombies, except Keno who for some reason maintained her reasoning. The girl was fearful of him believing him to be the powerful undead that now had taken residence in her family's castle. Begging him to punish her and to restore the people to their original forms, Suzuki manages to clam her down elaborating that he was a traveler that came to the city. Seeing an opportunity, Suzuki offered to help rid the city of the undead believing it to be responsible for the fate of Inveria. Keno believing if they killed the magic caster it would return them to normal agreed to the plan. Suzuki though was wary of the undead as it resembled an Overlord like him. Using very precaution he sent a zombie dog to infiltrate the castle just to get close enough for him to teleport and obliterate it. After dispatching the undead with little effort Suzuki saw he was mistaken. Further investigation revealed that the undead magic caster was researching the undead phenomena that afflicted the city. It soon was obvious that the undead was not responsible, though the pair gained access to the nation treasures, one being Lost White, that could resurrect a deceased and restore them to human form. Suzuki doubtful that it would be simple suggested they use a test subject. The item failed to resurrect a zombified guard. Suzuki seeing Keno in despair offered to use his magic to undo the curse, bringing forth Shooting Star. However after he used the magic ring to wish for a way to restore the inhabitants, the spell too failed. Suzuki did not take this in defeat, insisting that perhaps a way to undo the curse existed out in the world. He offered his services to Keno who he vowed to restore her family and friends. Keno who had been trapped in the city for over forty years longed to see the world accepted and the two set off on a wagon and a Golem Horse.

Ever since meeting Keno Fasris Invern from the ruined city she was living in and befriending her, the two went on a journey together that lasted as long as five years already onward. During their journey, they happen to encounter various powerful undead from Corpus of the Abyss. Amidst many of his encounter with the liches, Suzuki alongside Keno would hunt down each one of them silently to gather information, acquire the latter's findings, and wealth. They mainly hunted the organization due to them being evil and also to seek answers to Keno's dilemma in turning the undead back into the living. However, none of the magic casters provided a satisfactory answer.

Keno Fasris Invern
Initially, Suzuki was wary of Keno and thought she has bad intentions in mind when trying to work alongside him. Nonetheless, he was still willing to go out of his way to help Keno look for a cure in restoring her undead countrymen back to normal. They have been going on an adventure together for the last five years since meeting each other. He often sees her as a child who needs to be taken care of, looks after and is protected. However, he would sometimes go to great lengths, assisting Keno in becoming stronger by slaying injured monsters above her level that Suzuki has chosen not to finish off completely. Over the course of time, Suzuki grew quite fond of her due to the classes she has acquired levels in. Another reason for this affection was, of course, was the fact that she is a guild member of the newly-founded Ainz Ooal Gown. Apart from that, she was the only friend he has made in the New World and care for. Suzuki has even share his own YGGDRASIL items and stories to Keno openly. In particular, he entrusted the items to her, knowing full well that she must use it under the right conditions such as the threats they encountered during their journey. At the same time, he is also incredibly reliant on Keno for the magic knowledge she learned with him along the way.

Corpus of the Abyss
When Suzuki and Keno silently hunted down and killed off several undead from the organization, the latter started to try and find some way in tracking down the unknown assailant. However, as they failed to identify that it was the work of Suzuki with their intelligence network, the organization began to develop fear for the first time despite being an undead. Not knowing who was behind the killing of their fallen members, the organization wishes to offer whoever is doing it an unconditional surrender in order to save themselves from being murdered like their companions. At first, they wanted to take arms against the murderer which is Suzuki but gave up the will on doing so after knowing that forty-percent of their members have been wiped out mysteriously for reasons they are unable to comprehend.

Brightness Dragon Lord
Suzuki considered the Brightness Dragon Lord to be the first powerful adversary he encountered in the New World. This brief battle between the two ended in a draw with Suzuki Satoru fleeing after gathering enough information on the creature's fighting power. He had stated that if the dragon's might was only to the extent that it had shown, then he would certainly defeat it were they to battle again. It was noted by Suzuki that he didn't want to fight an enemy of that level again. Brightness Dragon Lord was most likely the person who Suzuki was able to acquire some information about players from. Through obtaining such information, Suzuki learned of the fact that Dragon Lords like it don't get along well with players as both sides are hostile to each other.

Cure Elim Los Malvar
Suzuki had nothing but contempt for the dragon as he was responsible for Keno's suffering and the destruction of her kingdom. When Cure Elim Los Malvar, corpse died and corpse disintegrated Suzuki thought it was a pity he couldn't harvest the dragon.
