Gondo Firebeard

A dwarf who dreams of the revival and restoration of rune technology.

Compared to his grandfather and father, who were leading rune craftsmen, his talent as a rune technician is significantly inferior, but his passion for rune technology is extremely strong. His lack of talent as a rune technician is sympathized by those around him, and although positions with better treatment are available if Gondo desires, he refuses them to work as an ordinary miner, which allows him to take vacations easily for the sake of his dream. He is pained by the fact that the dwarves who are more talented than him as rune technicians have given up on the revival of rune technology and have become unwilling to take risks in mining.

His fervent desire not to let his ambitions and the names of his grandfather and father be extinguished resonated with Ainz's dream for the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown," leading to a mutual understanding.

He accepted Ainz's proposal for financial support and the recruitment of all rune craftsmen. When the dwarf nation abandoned rune technology, he understood that his existence had been discarded by his homeland and accepted the reality with tears. Afterward, he seemed to have come to terms with his feelings toward the dwarf nation, and his attitude of not hesitating to use any means for the revival of rune technology, which Ainz needed him for, was both admired and wryly smiled at by Ainz.
