- Ordered to remain alone in Nazarick, he was in charge of setting up the Empire's liaison office there (the novel gives him no "ambassador" title)

- After the Empire became a vassal of the Sorcerous Kingdom, he was appointed chief secretary and again serves as the emperor's secretary (Vol. 13; there is no direct statement that he was "reinstated after vassalization")
