Albedo


 * "Overseer of the Floor Guardians Albedo, at your command."
 * - Albedo's Introduction

Albedo (アルベド) is the Overseer of the Floor Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She is in charge of the general management and supervises the activities of the seven Floor Guardians, meaning that she ranks above all the other NPCs in Nazarick. She is the sister of Nigredo and Rubedo. She was created by Tabula Smaragdina.

Appearance
An impeccable beauty, Albedo is a woman with lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a goddess. She has golden irises and vertically split pupils; on her left and right temples are two thick horns protruding crookedly, and on her waist are a pair of black angel wings.

Albedo wears a pure white dress with silky gloves covering her slender hands, and a golden spiderweb necklace that covers her shoulders and chest. In combat, she wears an impressive black full plate armor with a unique helm and carries a battle-axe with her.

Like Shalltear, Albedo has a true form as a heteromorphic race NPC. Shalltear called her "Big mouthed gorilla" when they quarreled, so her true form may be quite large in size.

Personality
Extremely loyal and extremely in love, Albedo is completely infatuated with Ainz, often showing obsessive tendencies when it comes to his affairs. She is always vying for Ainz's affection, showcasing outbursts of jealousy whenever anyone else appears to be getting close to him. Yet despite this, she states that as the Supreme Ruler, it would be bizarre for him to only take one wife, implying that she would be content with him taking others as wives as long as she was the one he loves the most.

Among all the Guardians, She is the most vocal when it comes to expressing her opinions. She will openly denounce any statement or action deemed inappropriate, reaching the point where Ainz sometimes considers it an annoyance.

As the Overseer of the Floor Guardians, she is very levelheaded. Albedo can make calm and collected judgments that even Ainz, sometimes, doesn't think of. She takes Ainz's orders as top priority and absolute, punishing anyone, even a Floor Guardian, who'd dare to belittle his orders. Like many others in Nazarick, she absolutely loathes humans and views them as an inferior species.

Below are her settings written by Tabula Smaragdina:

She's a demon whose position is the highest as the Overseer of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and a beautiful woman who possesses glossy and long jet black hair and gold pupils.

Because she's taking pride in her own position, she stands off against invaders with her confidence and dignity from a far off high position.

For example, no matter how wise and brave of an enemy she's recognizing a strong person, she will never acknowledge them as someone of the same rank.

It's because she knows that she was given such position.

The abilities she has are also something only adequate for the position of the Overseer of the Guardians and she's excelling remarkably in ingenuity and battle abilities. However, it doesn't mean that there aren't points where she doesn't fall behind some other beings in each field.

For example, there is Demiurge's ingenuity or Shalltear's battle abilities, but she won't lose to anyone in the management of Nazarick and also in its internal administration.

Other: Feminine works ―She excels especially in general housewife work. She can sometimes be seen engaging in feminine works like knitting and cleaning in her spare time.

The reason is unknown, but she is tidy, and she seems to be driven by the desire to tidy when she's seeing a suitable way of tidying up.

She especially seems to have a personal opinion about sorting bookshelves.

However, she considers other people as other people, so it's rare for her to coerce others to clean. Although, she also have the habit to stockpile her own goods collection, and that leads in quite a disorder. That's why there is room for doubt about her being truly tidy.

Is she perhaps acting "like she considers to be the perfect woman"? There is no positive proof, I can't ask because she's frightening.

Very many people are likely to believe that it's said that she an angel or a goddess as she never destroys her gentle smile, and her calm way of talking is lady-like.

Actually, she has that atmosphere and appearance, so it's not strange that there is a misunderstanding.

Actually, that's not an incorrect viewpoint.

Originally, the plan was to make her as the highest-ranked angel, but she came to life with an appearance greatly distorted by the fusion with monsters from the world of dreams. For that reason, her personality and also her true appearance were twisted, with coldhearted cruelty and sly inhumanity, she got disposition to feel pleasure in causing agony, death and despair to enemies.

Her usual facial expression thoroughly shut out her lust to cruelly torment the weak that gush forth from inside her own heart, like a lid.

If it breaks, she will start to act in a way that can make you think that, after all, Empress Lü Zhi or Empress Zetian have done mere human acts.

But that's relevant outside of Nazarick. However, people who don't serve Nazarick should feel at ease, or rather, that lid is quite firm, and shouldn't break down easily.

She's assuming the position of the Overseer of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick ―Unless she forget that she's gathering a lot of attention. I digress, but I said that she usually has a smiling face, but that doesn't really mean that she only has that facial expression. I'm saying that's her poker face. She has her own variety of facial expression such as getting angry, frowning and faking crying. By the way, even while she's torturing fools who have commited hostile act, she won't destroy that polished lady-like attitude. She surely is a perfect beautiful woman by just her outward appearance. By the way, she's a slut. ( => She's madly in love with Momonga.)

Background

The Undead King Arc
Moments before YGGDRASIL is expected to shut down, Momonga changed Albedo's character information to be in love with him as a joke.

Ainz orders her to assemble the floor guardian at the six floor. She and along with Demiurge are the last floor guardians to arrived. They introduce themself and pledge their absolute loyalty to Momonga.

Albedo accompany Ainz to the Treasury to get a World Item. She encounters her creator, Tabula Smaragdina but found out it wasn't him, it's was Pandora's Actor, Ainz's personal NPC creation. Albedo tries to persuades Ainz to never leave Nazarick but Ainz reassures her that he will kill Shalltear. Ainz orders Albedo to restraint anyone, who likely to intervene his fight with Shalltear. She restrainted and tells Demiurge that Ainz will emerge victorious against Shalltear.

After the revival of Shalltear, Albedo and the other floor guardians beg Ainz to never do such a thing again, and to allow them to handle any future incidents that may come.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
When she hears Cocytus's suggest on sparing the lizardmen, she was enraged. She threatens Cocytus for disobeying Ainz's order but Ainz restrained her and Ainz's complied with Cocytus' suggestion. Albedo, along with the other Floor Guardians threatens and intimidates the lizardmen so that they become part of Nazarick.

The Two Leaders Arc
In Ainz's bedroom, after hearing Ainz's said, she tries to rape him but was restrained by Mare and several Eight-edge Assassins. She was then punished to three days of solitary confinement.

Albedo and Shalltear wish to bath with Ainz, but he refuses and sends them to the ladies' bath. They try to go to the men's bath but were attacked by Lion Golems, with the other male Guardians soon joining in.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
Albedo stayed behind in Nazarick while Demiurge and others supported Sebas Tian in rescuing Tsuare from the Eight Fingers.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
