Jaldabaoth (ヤルダバオト) or more infamously known as the Demon Emperor was a persona crafted by Demiurge in order to terrorize denizens of the New World, while hiding his relation to Nazarick. Demiurge personally played the part of the Demon Emperor at his inception. However, he later passed down that identity and role onto a summoned Evil Lord Wrath during the war with the Roble Holy Kingdom.
Appearance
Jaldabaoth was an Evil Lord Wrath Summon, thus he possessed the same exact appearance as the original.
Personality
Like most demons, Evil Lord Wrath views humans as lesser lifeforms. Common to all demon-kind, he is a sadistic individual, who is willing to use a female human as a blunt weapon.
As a demon, he did not enjoy simply tormenting the weak. Rather, he enjoyed toying with the weaklings who thought they were very strong.
Background
The identity of Jaldabaoth was initially created by Demiurge to serve as an archenemy for the adamantite adventurer Momon who in reality was his master Ainz Ooal Gown. The demon made his first appearance as Jaldabaoth in Re-Estize, attacking the capital city, under the ruse of searching for a powerful magic artifact. After putting on a flashy duel with Momon, the demon retreated, supposedly in fear of the adventurer's strength, elevating Momon to a national hero. Though Jaldabaoth was technically the loser in the battle, his existence caused a stir amongst the various nations, inscribing his name as a new terror that could threaten the world.
Chronology
The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
- Main article: The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom I and The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom II Arc
During Demiurge's battle with Remedios Custodio and her Paladin Order, an Evil Lord Wrath Summon switched places with him, posing as a full demonic transformation of Jaldabaoth. Evil Lord Wrath immune to all of the paladins attacked, calmly approached the Holy Queen, Calca Bessarez, capturing her and proceeded to use her like a bludgeon against the defenders of Kalinsha. As a result, the paladins refused to fight him, afraid of killing the Queen in the process.
While believing the Evil Lord Wrath to be Jaldabaoth's true form, his actions and dialogues in front of Remedios with her fellow soldiers caused them to stay on guard for what he is planning to do next. Later, Jaldabaoth summoned a [Meteor Strike] under the signal from one of his hand gestures. Afterwards, the city gates ended up becoming destroyed, allowing the Demi-Human Alliance the opportunity to invade.
Shortly after the Fall of Kalinsha, Jaldabaoth's forces quickly conquered the Northern Holy Kingdom. All the human settlements were occupied by the demi-humans and turned into death camps on the demon's order. Months after Northern Holy Kingdom Army was destroyed, Jaldabaoth began directing his forces to concentrate on the Southern Holy Kingdom.
When the Sorcerer King killed Buser, the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army is able to successfully liberate Loyts from the demi-human's control. Learning of this news, the Demon Emperor ordered Rokesh to deploy the Demi-Human Alliance and retake the city and slaughter all the humans. In addition he ordered the commander to allow the humans to wait a few days, and engage in psychological warfare on the human resistance so as to break their morale.
Abilities and Powers
Jaldabaoth is an Evil Lord Wrath Summon, and possesses the same powers as the NPC Evil Lord Wrath in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Though despite matching the original in power, since he is a summoned monster he is unable to use summoning magic.
On the other hand, he was able to proficiently used Calca Bessarez as some sort of weapon in battle. After weaponizing the Holy Queen, every swing he does to targets like Remedios Custodio is strong enough to send them flying upon impact.
