If you have watched the anime Overlord or read the light novel, you have heard of an essential character named Albedo. Albedo is the Overseer of the Floor Guardians and a key figure within the Overlord series and has also become a staple when referencing the series.
She is a non-playable character who is madly in love with Ainz Ooal Gown and is the one at his side at all times. She is also a succubus with two horns and black wings on her lower back. Here are ten vital facts you may not have known about the Overlord character Albedo.
10 HER ORIGINAL SETTINGS WERE ALTERED
As a non-playable character, inside of the video game Yggdrasil, she had settings that her creator, Tabula Smaragdina, gave her to make Albedo more unique. While Albedo's original settings were not as different from the current her, she was programmed to be "a beautiful woman who also happened to be loose."
However, he changed her settings before the video game shut down to say, "she is madly in love with Momonga," which is why she acts this way towards him.
9 SHE IS THE GUARDIAN OVERSEER
There are seven Floor Guardians within the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which Ainz Ooal Gown is the leader of every since being inside the game. The Floor Guardians have the highest authority within the Great Tomb of Nazarick with Albedo being the leader and best in administrative ability.
Albedo acts as the overseer, meaning she is the second most powerful behind Ainz and is to be at his side for most of the time. Although we have seen her power and strength in the first arc of the light novel and anime, she mostly stays by Ainz's side and deals with trivial matters to lessen his workload.
8 SHE HAS SEVERAL VARIETIES OF UNDERWEAR
Most fans seem to forget the fact that Albedo is a succubus as she has quite a unique design. No one would have thought a succubus would have horns and wings positioned on her lower back. Although Albedo can only wear one pair of clothes as a non-playable character, she does somehow have different types of underwear.
Although Albedo is never in any other clothes and she appears to sleep without any clothes, its a wonder where and when she had time to prepare all this lingerie until it is told that Albedo's creator prepared this for her.
7 SHE IS THE SECOND NPC TO RECEIVE THE RING OF AINZ OOAL GOWN
Yes, the second. The first non-playable character to receive the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown was Mare Bello Fiore in the first episode of the series.
After Albedo saw the ring on Mare's ring finger, she had quite the reaction. Seeing this, Ainz decided to give Albedo one in fear of what she may do, and she makes sure to wear it fondly, all while thinking of it as presumably a wedding or promise ring.
6 HER KARMA LEVEL IS NEGATIVE 500
A succubus is a type of female demon, after all. Albedo harbors quite the hatred towards humans besides Ainz, which can perhaps be because all of them left except him when Yggdrasil shut down. Albedo's karma is an astonishing negative five-hundred, which is precisely what Ainz's karma is in the light novel.
To show the difference, Aura and Mare Bello Fiore's karma is at a negative one-hundred, which makes them neutral-evil.
5 SHE HAS A BODY PILLOW OF AINZ
Whenever Albedo is left inside the Great Tomb Of Nazarick when Ainz dons his disguise as a traveler, they sometimes show what the other Floor Guardians are doing, with emphasis on Albedo.
In the first chapters as well as episodes of Overlord, Aledo somehow has a body pillow of Ainz and usually awaits his return in his bed. It's a wonder where she even bought it.
4 SHE HATES ALL OF THE CREATORS EXCEPT AINZ
While the other Floor Guardians hold somewhat of a fond memory of the human who created them, Albedo is the opposite. While she admits that she would not be here if Tabula Smaragdina did not create her, she hates him for an unknown reason.
This may be because he left when Yggdrasil was shutting down or because she genuinely hated him. Either way, the only human Albedo cares about is Ainz.
3 SHE IS A PURE SUCCUBUS
This fact was shocking to believe to the Floor Guardians, as well. During a season of Overlord, Albedo is preparing to ride her bicorn along with Shalltear. However, when she tries to sit atop of it, it keeps her off for not being an impure maiden.
When Shalltear asks how she is still pure for being a succubus, Albedo responds that she is saving herself for the man she loves, Ainz.
2 SHE HAS TWO SISTERS
Albedo has a younger sister and an older sister. Her younger sister is named Rubedo, while her older sister is Nigredo. While we may have never seen them make their debut in the anime, they are present in the light novel and manga.
Rubedo is the "Strongest Entity of Nazarick" while Nigredo was imprisoned in the Frozen Prison during her debut because she is quite crazed. Opposite to Albedo, who is a Succubus, her sisters are of a Heteromorphic Race.
1 SHE DIDN'T EXIST IN THE ORIGINAL WEB NOVEL
In the original web novel of the series Overlord, Albedo did not exist. This holds true for characters such as her sisters Rubedo, Nigredo, Mare Bello Fiore, and a couple of more characters.
This is a hard fact to believe as Overlord would perhaps feel like a different story if Albedo was not included, which is probably why the author decided to add more characters.
