Philip Dayton L'Eyre Montserrat
Head of the baronial House of Montserrat, called "the ultimate idiot" by Hilma · Re-Estize Kingdom · Human · Unknown
Personality
An overconfident, ambitious incompetent utterly lacking in self-awareness. Extremely proud, he is always baffled that others can't think of something so simple, yet in reality he can only devise ideas that don't even rise to armchair theory. He fantasizes about manipulating the Sorcerer Kingdom and marrying Albedo, and among readers has become a byword for "an idiot who thinks he's clever."
Abilities
- No combat or political ability whatsoever
- Wears full plate armor gifted by Hilma; it carries defensive enchantments but no weight reduction, so it is very heavy for him
History
- Third son of a minor noble house; when his second brother died of illness and his eldest brother was killed in the Katze Plains massacre, he unexpectedly became heir and was overjoyed (Vol. 10)
- At the banquet for the Sorcerer Kingdom's envoy Albedo he approached her himself, and with Hilma's arrangements formed a new faction made up of second and third sons (Vol. 10)
- After inheriting the house he recklessly reformed his domain, lowering food production and earning his subjects' contempt (Vol. 14)
- Together with Barons Delvi and Rokirlen he raided the Sorcerer Kingdom's food convoy bound to aid the Holy Kingdom, which triggered the Sorcerer Kingdom's declaration of war on the Kingdom and its destruction (Vol. 14)
- While he hid in his mansion, Albedo came in person and "dealt with" him together with the two barons and his subjects; Vol. 15 hints that he is still being "cared for" by Albedo in the Frozen Prison (Vols. 14–15)
Trivia
While the geniuses were baffled by his outrageous act, only Ainz, an ordinary man, guessed the truth by thinking like an ordinary person.
