Shizyuutensuzaku (死獣天朱雀) is the oldest guild member of Ainz Ooal Gown and regarded as one of the Forty-One Supreme Beings by the NPCs of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Appearance

Shizyuutensuzaku is a Nue with the face of a whiskered monkey, hands and feet of a tiger and the head of a snake as a tail. He wore a red kimono with gold embroidery and wore a tate-eboshi on his head.

Personality

Due to working for a university run by a megacorporation, Shizyuutensuzaku preferred not to get involved in guild politics as he was already exhausted in school politics, and interacting with students and corporates in real life. He was not always a calm and composed man, but had a wild side that loved to PK.

To him when PKing, it’s an opportunity to vent out his frustrations, by imagining the players he hunts are the students that give him headaches.

Background

Shizyuutensuzaku's Emblem

In real life, Shizyuutensuzaku was said to be a university professor according to Momonga. He is also considered to be the oldest member of Ainz Ooal Gown to be playing YGGDRASIL at his age.

Shizyuutensuzaku also enjoyed playing shogi with Momonga, ending with the two games of shogi with the game world of YGGDRASIL. The two would enjoy the game so much that they would even forgo going on adventures in YGGDRASIL.

When Rainbow Drops was released into YGGDRASIL, Ulbert Alain Odle suggested that the guild try to get Shizyuutensuzaku to use it.

To dispute Tabula Smaragdina's changes done to Albedo, Peroroncino called on one of Ainz Ooal Gown's intellectuals to argue his case against Tabula. In the end he Punitto Moe answered his call as he was still online at the time, which relieved him, as Shizyuutensuzaku would have been his back-up plan. Though Punitto Moe claimed that find the argument an area of expertise.

He was among one of the few guild members to have his emblem get called out by Momonga during the day of the game's shutdown.
