Background / History

Albedo is an NPC of the Great Tomb of Nazarick's Ninth Floor. Hades identifies her while observing Momonga in Carne Village, having previously acquired limited intelligence on Nazarick in preparation for opposing Ainz Ooal Gown. He notes that Nazarick's NPCs were created at level 100 and armed with divine-class equipment. 13 14

She accompanies Momonga during his confrontation with Nigun's forces. Protective of Ainz's status, she kills a soldier who attacks him and views the attack itself as disrespectful; Momonga orders her to stand down when Nigun deploys the Dominion Authority. 20

During Hades's assassination, Albedo is the initial target because she lacks time resistance. Hades freezes her with Silent Time Stop, places a Silent Teleportation Circle, then uses it to exile her to a forest near Nazarick. 21 22 23

Following Momonga's death and resurrection, Albedo reunites with Aura and Mare and establishes contact with Ainz. Her failure to protect him becomes the subject of a confrontation among the Floor Guardians. She accepts responsibility, is removed as Floor Guardian Overseer, and is confined to the Frozen Prison after completing defensive arrangements. 27 29 31 32 33

• Black armor 16 20
• Black wings, used for flight 22
• Long axe 22
• Bloodshot eyes when panicked over Ainz's disappearance 22

Personality

Albedo's actions are defined by intense devotion to Ainz. She regards attacks beneath his perceived stature as insulting, reacts with indignation when he swears by Ainz Ooal Gown's name for Gazef, and seeks to protect his dignity even when doing so conflicts with other Guardians. 16 20 29

When separated from Ainz, she becomes highly distressed and impulsive. In the forest, she frantically searches for him, releases an aura that disrupts the area, and nearly strikes Mare before recognizing him. 22

She is deeply ashamed of failing in her role as Ainz's vanguard. Although she initially attempts to protect Ainz's reputation by not revealing his death, she ultimately confesses her negligence and accepts punishment without resistance. 29 31

Trivia

• Hades specifically chose Albedo as his first target because he expected Momonga to possess time resistance while Albedo did not. 21
• Her lack of time resistance is attributed to Nazarick's NPC equipment design: its creators had not considered it necessary for guild NPCs in YGGDRASIL. 30
• Before her confinement, Ainz orders her to activate Nazarick's defenses and deploy stealth monsters for perimeter patrol. 32
