It’s a question that pops up surprisingly often, and for good reason! When you’re diving deep into the intricate lore of a series like Overlord, every character detail feels important. So, let’s clear the air right away regarding the age of a particular character: Bond Forger.
Here’s the definitive answer: Bond Forger is not a character in the Overlord series.
That’s right! If you're looking for information on Bond Forger, you'll find him as the beloved psychic dog from Tatsuya Endo’s popular manga and anime, Spy x Family. It's easy to get wires crossed with so many fantastic anime and manga worlds out there, but in the dark fantasy realm of Nazarick, Bond Forger doesn't make an appearance.
But don't click away just yet! While Bond Forger might be absent, the Overlord universe is rich with fascinating characters whose "ages," lifespans, and very existences are far more complex than simple biological years. From immortal undead overlords to ageless magical beings and long-lived demi-humans, understanding how time and existence function within the New World is key to appreciating its depth. This Super Pillar Hub will guide you through the various ways characters in Overlord experience and defy the passage of time.
Unraveling the Mystery: Who Are Overlord's Characters, If Not Bond Forger?
Since Bond Forger isn't part of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, let's turn our attention to the actual inhabitants. The world of Overlord is primarily populated by beings who defy conventional aging, thanks to their origins as Non-Player Characters (NPCs) from a virtual reality game, YGGDRASIL, or as native inhabitants of the New World with varying lifespans. Unlike humans, many of Nazarick’s residents don't have an "age" in the traditional sense; they simply are.
Eternal Reign: Ainz Ooal Gown and the Supreme Beings
At the very heart of Overlord is Ainz Ooal Gown himself, once the human Satoru Suzuki. Upon his transformation into a powerful lich, Ainz became immune to death, aging, and biological needs. His physical form remains perpetually as it was when he arrived in the New World. He exists outside the constraints of time, a living (or unliving) monument to his guild. To truly grasp his journey from a salaryman to an undead king, you'll want to .
Similarly, the other 40 Supreme Beings – Ainz’s former guildmates – are revered as gods by the NPCs of Nazarick. While they are no longer present in the New World, their influence is eternal, and their creations (the NPCs) retain their programmed characteristics, never aging. To understand the profound impact these absent creators have on Nazarick, .
Nazarick's Immortal Hierarchy: Floor and Area Guardians
The most powerful and loyal inhabitants of Nazarick are the Floor Guardians. These NPCs were meticulously crafted by the Supreme Beings, each with a detailed backstory and personality. Because they are magical constructs, they do not age.
- Albedo, the succubus Overseer, was designed to be in love with Ainz. Her beauty is unchanging, an eternal testament to Tabula Smaragdina's intricate programming. To learn more about her devotion and role, .
- Shalltear Bloodfallen, the vampire of Floors 1-3, is also an immortal being, forever young and powerful. Her battle prowess is legendary. You can get a full understanding of her capabilities by checking out .

His programmed flamboyance makes him a standout character, and you can .
The Pleiades and Other Timeless Servants
The Pleiades Battle Maids serve as Nazarick's last line of defense before the final floor. Much like the Floor Guardians, they are NPCs and do not age. Each maid has a distinct combat style and personality, from the noble Sebas Tian to the predatory Solution Epsilon. Sebas, in particular, stands out for his unique moral compass, making him an intriguing character to study. . To delve into the group as a whole and their individual capabilities, .
New Worlders: Living and Aging in a Mortal Realm
While Nazarick is filled with immortal and ageless beings, the inhabitants of the New World experience life and death much like humans do. Their lifespans vary depending on their race, but they are generally finite.
- Humans: Characters like Enri Emmot from Carne Village, the warrior Gazef Stronoff, or the scheming Princess Renner all operate within human lifespans. Their struggles, alliances, and eventual fates are often dictated by the limited time they have. Ainz's actions have had profound effects on many of them, transforming some (like Climb and Renner) into new, non-aging beings. For a detailed look at how these characters shaped their world and interacted with Nazarick, . You can also explore the fate of a major human kingdom by reading .
- Demi-humans: Races like the Lizardmen, Quagoa, and Frost Dragons have varying lifespans. Lizardmen, for instance, live longer than humans, but are still mortal beings capable of reproducing and passing on their lineage. Their culture and struggles are compelling, especially after their encounter with Nazarick. .
- Carne Village: A specific example of human and goblin interaction with Nazarick. The villagers' lives are irrevocably changed by Ainz's protection, showcasing how even mortals can thrive under his rule. To see how this small community evolved, .
- Eight Fingers: This criminal organization within the Re-Estize Kingdom also consists primarily of humans, all subject to mortal lifespans. Their dark dealings and the impact of Nazarick's intervention highlight the fragility of mortal power structures against immortal might. Explore their role in the New World's underbelly by checking out .
- Evileye: A unique case, Evileye is a powerful vampire and a former member of the legendary Thirteen Heroes. While originating from the New World, her vampiric nature grants her an extended, near-immortal lifespan, though she is still distinct from the YGGDRASIL NPCs.
The Truly Ancient: Dragon Lords of the New World
If we're talking about age in the New World, the True Dragon Lords are among the oldest and most formidable beings. Dragons can live for centuries, accumulating vast power and wisdom. The Platinum Dragon Lord, for example, has been alive for hundreds of years, making him a living relic of the world's ancient history and a cautious observer of Nazarick's rise. Their long lives have given them unique perspectives and immense power, making them a force to be reckoned with. For more on these majestic and ancient beings, .
A World Beyond Simple Ages
So, while Bond Forger isn't going to show up demanding treats in Nazarick, the question of "age" in Overlord opens up a far more intriguing discussion. It's less about a character's chronological years and more about their fundamental nature: Are they an ageless NPC, a long-lived demi-human, or a mortal human caught in the tide of Ainz's ambitions? This distinction shapes their motivations, vulnerabilities, and ultimately, their place in the grand tapestry of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Exploring these concepts truly enriches your understanding of the series and its incredible cast.
