Decem Hougan
Last king of the Elf Country · Other Factions · Human species (Elf) · Lv At least 70 but under 80 (Ainz's estimate from his HP and MP)
Personality
Extremely narcissistic and arrogant, respecting only himself and caring nothing for his country or people. Obsessed with breeding an army of powerful beings from his own bloodline to conquer the world, he treats his children and women alike as tools; until his death he could not understand why he met such an end.
Abilities
- Summons the level-87 Primal Earth Elemental "Behemoth" (he did not name it); he can command elementals stronger than himself at the cost of continuously draining mana during battle; presumably summons it with an item left by his father
- Can use magic up to the 10th tier, such as <Mercy of Shorea Robusta>, <Tempest>, <Shining Burst>, <Aspect of Elemental>, and <Tremorsense>
- Physically tough; even Ainz has no chance against him in close combat; Ainz's <Time Stop> and Aura's <Shadow Sewing Arrow> do not work on him
- Over a hundred years ago he dealt heavy damage to the Black Scripture, and he has also slain an Elder-class dragon
History
- His father was one of the Eight Greed Kings (an elf). He once cooperated with the Slane Theocracy but later betrayed it, deceiving, imprisoning, and raping the Theocracy's trump card Faine; the child born of this is the Extra Seat, which is considered the cause of the war between the two countries
- Vol. 11: As the Theocracy's great army closes in, he refuses to save his country, intending to go to the Theocracy himself after the country falls and reclaim "his child"
- Vol. 15: Sends his daughter Rugi to the front, watches idly as the Holocaust Scripture kills her, then summons Behemoth to kill Schoen of the Holocaust Scripture; Rugi's mother throws herself to her death, which leaves him unmoved
- Vol. 16: Mistaking Aura and Mare for his grandchildren, he declares he will breed with them, enraging the invisible Ainz and fighting him; with Behemoth destroyed and himself badly wounded, he flees
- Vol. 16: Fleeing back to his bedchamber, he runs into the Extra Seat, who stomps his chest in; he revives through a prepared means of resurrection (whether magic or an item is unknown) and is killed again
Trivia
Decem means "ten" in Latin, so some readers speculate his father's name was "Kurō Hōgan" (Minamoto no Yoshitsune).
