Tsaindorcus Vaision
Platinum Dragon Lord / Permanent Councillor of the Argland Council State / former member of the Thirteen Heroes (commonly called "Tsar"; to Ainz he used the alias "Riku Aganeia") · Argland Council State & the Dragon Lords · Dragon (true Dragon Lord) · Lv Unknown (racial levels not recorded; Pandora's Actor judged his armour to be a roughly level-90 tank)
Personality
Gentle and merciful with a soft way of speaking, and close to his old friend Rigrit, yet willing to shed blood for the greater good, even considering sacrificing allies. He loathes the players' overwhelming power and sees himself as the world's guardian; fighting the "Sorcerer King" he barely spoke, only venting his discontent and anger, yet wavered when his opponent showed weakness and begged for mercy (unverified).
Abilities
- Wields the new world's native "Wild Magic": Cloak of Light, World Teleportation and World-Isolating Barrier; the barrier seals off a wide area and prevents escape by teleportation
- Fights by remotely controlling a hollow suit of platinum armour, accompanied by a floating spear, katana, hammer and greatsword; each casting of Wild Magic consumes the stamina poured into the armour
- His draconic senses are extremely keen, seeing through invisibility, illusions and Perfect Unknowable; he has immunity to instant death and countermeasures against time effects, so Time Stop and Grasp Heart do not work on him
- Has abilities that give him an advantage against undead; the author calls him the "natural enemy" of Ainz and Shalltear
- Keeps one of the eight weapons left by the Eight Greed Kings (a guild weapon); the Theocracy surmises that the World Item "Downfall of Castle and Country" would not work on him
History
- Son of the Dragon Emperor, called the strongest Dragon Lord by Rigrit and the Slane Theocracy; he has killed players, and has set up bases in many places to conduct organised experiments, the most powerful of which is in the east, entrusted to a Dragon Lord confidant
- Two hundred years ago, remotely controlling his hollow armour, he subjugated the Evil Deities as a member of the Thirteen Heroes; after revealing his identity his comrades were indignant at being "deceived"
- Around the time of Vol. 3, while searching for powerful items with his armour, he encountered the mind-controlled Shalltear and retreated after the armour's right shoulder was pierced
- Vol. 7: Catching up with the visiting Rigrit, he reveals that he encountered a mysterious vampire while searching for items with his armour, judges that the "once-a-century swing-back" (揺り返し, i.e. the arrival of players) may be happening again, and asks her to gather information on items rivalling guild weapons or special YGGDRASIL items
- Vol. 10: The Slane Theocracy's leadership regards him as the greatest threat and, wary of him, dares not deploy the Extra Seat (unverified)
- Vol. 14: Working with Azuth of Crimson Drop he separates the Sorcerer King (actually Pandora's Actor in disguise) from his retinue and duels him with his armour but fails to finish him, retreating after Albedo breaks the barrier with a World Item; he cannot tell who is a player and who an NPC, but believes that fighting in his true body he would never lose to the Sorcerer King, and privately considers whether he should kill Azuth to take his reinforced armour
Trivia
In the author's Twitter ranking of supporting characters' levels, "the platinum armour (when operating one body)" ranks above the Black Scripture's First Seat, prompting much reader speculation about the level of his true body.
