Description
Éclair Éklair Éklare serves as assistant butler for the Great Tomb of Nazarick's 10th Floor, acting in head butler Sebas Tian's absence. Created by Supreme Being Ankoro Mocchi Mochi, his personality includes a programmed, treasonous ambition to conquer Nazarick, intended as a joke. Despite this drive for power stemming directly from his creator, he maintains unwavering loyalty and respect toward all Forty-One Supreme Beings.
Physically resembling a Rockhopper penguin with blond plumage, his avian physiology limits mobility, requiring transport by manservants. This does not hinder his meticulous cleaning standards; he boasts his work renders surfaces like toilets hygienic enough to eat off. His personality blends arrogance with earnest dedication. He frequently proclaims his intent to rule Nazarick, believing hard work will earn recognition, such as toasting to himself during formal dinners—an act met with cold disapproval. He sympathizes with betrayal victims, notably attempting to recruit Shalltear Bloodfallen after her mind-control incident, inadvertently worsening her guilt.
His role spans comedic and supportive moments across various arcs:
- In *The Two Leaders Arc* and *The Pleiades Day Arc*, CZ2128 Delta cuddles him like a plush toy, causing distress and evasion, prompting CZ2128 to seek substitutes on the 6th Floor.
- He comforts Shalltear in the 9th Floor bar, urging her to accept Ainz Ooal Gown's forgiveness, bonding with Sous-chef ("Piki") who serves apple juice.
- During *The Dinner Is All Nazarick Members Arc*, his toast leads the Head Chef to consider Albino Penguins as ingredients, alarming him.
- In *Ainz’s Ambition Arc*, he participates in comforting Ainz on vacation.
- He nearly reveals Pestonya Shortcake Wanko's secret request to spare humans during the Re-Estize invasion but is silenced by CZ2128, showing situational awareness.
Spin-off media expand his interactions:
- In *Overlord: The Undead Oh!*, the Pleiades force him into their maid café; mistaking roleplay for submission, he declares himself ruler, leading to humiliation.
- *Pure Pure Pleiades* highlights his exaggerated demeanor, noted by Ainz as influencing NPCs' overacting, confirming parallels with Pandora's Actor's theatrics.
Combat ability is minimal at level 1, focusing solely on non-combat duties. Relationships include camaraderie with Aura Bella Fiora, Mare Bello Fiore, and Yuri Alpha (linked to creator friendships), fear of CZ2128 Delta's affections, and mutual respect with Demiurge during professional exchanges—Demiurge acknowledges Éclair's duties but would eliminate him without hesitation if ordered by a Supreme Being.
