Biography
Suzuki Satoru (Japanese: 鈴木悟, Hepburn: Suzuki Satoru)
Early in his life, Suzuki lost his mother when she overworked herself to death. Her death occurred in the kitchen of Suzuki's home, where she collapsed on the floor while trying to make his favorite dish. He vividly remembered seeing it happen with his own eyes in the morning upon waking up. In terms of receiving fatherly love from his father, he claimed to have never experienced something like that before in his life. On the other hand, Suzuki Satoru was an elementary school graduate and salaryman who lived alone in a broken-down apartment. Though he not have any real family or friends to support him, he dedicated his whole life instead to the DMMO-RPG, YGGDRASIL, and just his guild where he operated under the player name of Momonga (モモンガ). When Momonga first began playing YGGDRASIL, the idea of killing heteromorphic races was a common practice in YGGDRASIL. At that time, he was one of the targets who was hunted down and killed by PKers multiple times. Having enough of the harsh treatment, he was very close to quitting the game until Touch Me's words had saved him. At some point in time, during a meeting with his clansmen, Touch Me thought of disbanding the Nine's Own Goal and wanted to form a guild and recommended Momonga to be their leader. Once the clan was dissolved and the members present agreed to accept Momonga as the guildmaster, he and friends created an official guild called Ainz Ooal Gown. Carrying out the role as the Guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, Momonga was now tasked with miscellaneous work, such as contacting people in the guild from this moment forward.
Right after the guild was created, Momonga would lead Ainz Ooal Gown and its members to an unknown dungeon called the Great Tomb of Nazarick thanks to the efforts of his friend, Nishikienrai, for locating it. Due to Momonga's leadership and cooperation with his guild members, it led to the guild being able to conquer the Great Tomb of Nazarick and shortly afterward, also acquiring a World Item called the Throne of Kings the same moment they cleared the dungeon. The dungeon would later serve as Ainz Ooal Gown's future guild base while dealing with the invasion of players intruding on their location. On the other hand, there were other players who started to perceive the guild of heteromorphic races as evil beings that must be defeated at all costs. Hence, the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown, including Momonga, thought that it was only proper for them to become real monsters. It was indicated during the players' invasion of their guild base that Ulbert suggested they should also act as final bosses unless the enemies were able to reach them. During those years, Momonga and his guildmates spent most of their work and effort focused on building their guild weapon, the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. In addition to that, Momonga and his guildmates created their own customized NPCs, which for him was Pandora's Actor. He made Pandora's Actor to not only preserve the identity of Ainz Ooal Gown, but to serve in protecting the guild's Treasury for starters. At some point in time, however, nearly 37 out of his 41 guildmates quit the game altogether, leaving the guild and giving away their player's equipment to Momonga. Not only did they quit the game, but they also deleted their character's avatar completely. This was due to the real-world issues that they had to deal with. He would later store most of his guild members' equipment in the Treasury for safekeeping. Momonga also made all of the Avataras in the image of his guildmates who quit the game.
His life was an endless cycle of going to the office to work. He had often seen kids who had just graduated elementary school working alongside him on the job. By the year 2138, Suzuki left home while heading to his workplace, he wore an air filtering mask and goggles to prevent himself from being affected by the toxic air outside. He used to be the sort of person who was not bothered by seeing the corpses of orphans since he encountered them so often on the streets that it was hardly a rare occurrence for him anymore. As a salaryman, he recalled how his bosses announced to their employees that they would only begin work once everyone including himself had arrived on time. Thus, all he could do was suppress the urge to go home, because he truly understood how they felt. The kind of people Suzuki hated by far were those who rejected other's opinions without offering solutions of their own as well as crappy customers who knew nothing. Sadly, his fun memories of the times he spent with his friends as members of Ainz Ooal Gown were all he had in the game compared to the real world. Momonga's daily livelihood to the game had even gone so far to the extent where he used up most of the money financially obtained by him from working to have it purely used for YGGDRASIL. His salary earnings were meager, but he still lived above the poverty line. Momonga had an ample balance in his bank accounts, yet he had no idea how to spend that money. In the end, it was apparent that Momonga had already spent almost one-third of his monthly salary on cash purchases for the game.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Ainz Ooal Gown had the form of an undead skeleton creature who is devoid of skin and flesh. He tends to mainly wear an elaborate, jet-black academic gown adorned with golden and violet edges. When he has no clothes on, his whole body alone was purely made up of just his bones. He also had a dark red orb floating under his ribs that emanates a feeling of dread. Within the new world, he decided to adopt the name of his guild as his new name and came to be known as Ainz Ooal Gown (アインズ・ウール・ゴウン). In his disguise as a knight, he operated under the name of Momonga (Japanese: モモンガ) where he disguised his true nature from outsiders.
Powers and abilities
Originally, Suzuki Satoru was an ordinary human being born in the real world.
To the NPCs of Nazarik, he was regarded as the highest of the Almighty Forty-One Supreme Beings.
The maximum amount of spells a level 100 player could learn was 300. However, Ainz used his special ability "Dark Wisdom" to learn and memorize 718 different spells. Even those spells he had not learned could still become a weapon to read his opponents’ strengths, once Ainz knew of them. As part of Ainz Ooal Gown, he was easily ranked in the top five amongst his guild members when it came to magical knowledge.
