Calca Bessarez
カルカ・ベサーレス
Holy Queen of the Roble Holy Kingdom; "the Holy Queen of Purity"; "Treasure of Roble"Roble Holy KingdomHumanUnknown
Personality
Kind and honest, she sincerely wishes for her people's happiness, is willing even to accept trustworthy demi-humans, and does not judge Ainz with prejudice. As a monarch, however, she is too pure and too eager to please everyone; unwilling to use hard-line or dirty methods, she cannot control the southern nobles. In private she is single-mindedly set on finding a husband who truly loves her, and to that end is all but obsessed with beauty care.
Abilities
- A prodigious divine magic caster who could use 4th-tier magic at 15; her magical power is among the greatest of all the Holy Kings
- Can summon the 4th-tier angel "Principality of Peace," use [Holy Ray], and enhance her spells with [Twin Magic] and [Penetrate Magic Resistance]
- Her crown is the focus item for the grand ritual spell [Last Holy War]
- Created many divine spells for beauty and skincare, which were lost when she died
History
- Her beauty and magical talent overcame her low place in the line of succession, and she took the throne with the backing of the previous Holy King and the temples; in nearly ten years of rule she made no major mistakes (background, Vol. 12)
- When Jaldabaoth invaded with his army, she led her guards, Remedios's 25 elite paladins, Kelart's elite priests, and high-ranking adventurers to the square where he had appeared. She first talked with him to gather information, then supported Remedios's charge with angels and magic (Vol. 12)
- After Jaldabaoth revealed his true form, a demon who appeared via [Greater Teleportation] during the retreat seized her by both legs and swung her as a bludgeon; her face was smashed into the ground, her nose crushed, and her front teeth broken (Vol. 12)
- She then went missing, and the Liberation Army judged her dead (Remedios refused to accept it) (Vol. 12). Later Jaldabaoth appeared with her rotting lower half and hurled it at the charging Remedios, scattering the remains (Vol. 13)
- Her remains could not be preserved for a state funeral, so the Liberation Army cremated them on the spot; her upper half is still missing. The Holy Throne passed to her elder brother Caspond (actually a doppelgänger double) (Vols. 12–13)
Trivia
Because she was swung as a weapon, readers nicknamed her the "Holy Club," and the author himself calls her a "bludgeoning weapon."
Relationships
