Clavu

Sous-chef is an NPC of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He normally works in the Restaurant of Nazarick, but on a specific day of the week, he manages a bar in the 9th floor.

Appearance
As a myconid (Mushroom-man), Sous-chef's head is similar to the mushroom Hydnellum peckii.

Personality
Very proud of his job, Sous-chef is satisfied working in his bar. He prefers silent, elegant male guests. He also gives careful consideration to his guests like giving a straw to Eclair though those without manners will upset him. Like all the inhabitants of Nazarick he is fiercely loyal to Ainz and the Almighty 41 Supreme Beings. While he dislikes outsiders joining the Great Tomb of Nazarick like the rest of the denizens of Nazarick, he is willing to cooperate and see the potential advantages they provide to Ainz and Nazarick.

Background
He manages a bar that is quite small and spanning about eigth seats altogether. His regular customers like Demiurge, Cocytus and Eclair are rare. Being drunk is treated as "poisoned" in YGGDRASIL but most of the NPCs are resistant to poison. Still there are guests who come to enjoy the atmosphere.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
Sous-chef in a poor case of misjudgment had initially invited Shalltear Bloodfallen to his bar on the ninth floor after seeing her depressing state from her involuntary rebellion. Unfortunately the Sous-chef soon discovers Shalltear's graceless behaviors upsets him, so he adds food coloring to vodka and serves it to Shalltear. Entertaining her as best he can with his bar-keeping skills, the two are joined by the assistant butler, Eclair Acleir Aicler. Sous-chef, Eclair, and Shalltear talk in his bar about the recent changes and additions to the sixth floor, particular the forest sprite and the transplanted crops.

The Two Leaders Arc
The Sous-chef went to the recently established village area on the sixth floor of Nazarick. There he is seen by the Floor Guardians, working the land alongside Pinison, tending a tomato patch that he plans to use to create tomato juice. In addition he’s been raising raising a batch of mandrakes, teaching the sem-intelligent plants to praise Ainz Ooal Gown’s name.

Abilities and Powers
Sous-chef is second in command of the restaurant of Nazarick so it can be inferred he is a skilled cook. In addition, thanks to the new source of fresh produces from the 6th level, he is able to create higher quality dishes.

Eclair Acleir Aicler
Eclair is one of Sous-chef's closest friends. Since they both work on the ninth floor they see each other almost everyday. They share a close friendship, the myconoid evening allowing Eclair to call him by his nick-name "Piki". Unlike the treatment he gives to Shalltear, Sous-Chef is considerate to Eclair's inabilities to use his arms and he gives his young Bird friend aides such as a straw to be able to drink in a dignified manner.

Cocytus
One of Sous-chef's regulars at the bar.

Demiurge
One of Sous-Chef's regulars at the bar.

Shalltear Bloodfallen
Initially Sous-chef had no prior association to Shalltear after the 'Bloody Valkyrie' incident. After Shalltear was freed from her mind control, she was filled with self-pity and embarrassment that she interned herself in the Sou-chef's bar, much to his displeasure. He found her to be lacking gracefulness and character as compared to his other male patrons. However since she is a Floor Guardian, he kept a face of politeness though subtly being rude to her and providing cheaply made drinks.
