Roberdyck Goltron (ロバーデイク・ゴルトロン) is a worker and cleric of Foresight. He and his companions volunteered to explore and investigate the mysterious Large Tomb, which ultimately led to their downfall.
Appearance
Roberdyck has blonde hair and blue eyes with a neatly arranged hairstyle, and a beard that is thoroughly trimmed. His appearance is of a wise man that gives off a hearty impression.
He wears full body armor with an outer garment embroidered with the symbol of a crest. A morning star is hoisted on his waist and a necklace bearing the same crest as his outer garment can be seen hanging from his neck.
Personality
Roberdyck is a very kind individual, becoming a worker due to his frustration that he was not allowed to heal people for free. Most of the money he earns is donated to orphanages.[1]
Background
Roberdyck was originally a high-class cleric, but became tired of all the bureaucratic red tape that prevented him from helping those in need, so he decided to become a worker.[2]
Chronology
The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
- Main article: The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Roberdyck and Arche had just returned to the Singing Apple Inn after confirming the information on a recently discovered tomb by Count Femel. He learned of Arche's family's financial status and pitied her situation. He and the rest of his team wholeheartedly agreed to give the Count's reward to Arche in order to pay off her family's debts. Later, while shopping with Hekkeran Termite, Roberdyck contemplated the future of Foresight.[3]
Roberdyck and his companions soon arrived and discovered a huge amount of treasure in one of the four affiliated tombs. When they, along with the worker groups Heavy Masher and Tenmu, entered the depths of the mysterious Large Tomb, their party fought against hordes of undead. At some point after splitting up from the other two groups, they eventually triggered a trap, transporting them to the Colosseum on the 6th Floor, where ended up meeting the master of the tomb, Ainz Ooal Gown, and some of the Floor Guardians. Desperately, Hekkeran tried to deceive him, but Ainz saw through his lies and fought them as a warrior. Later, Ainz decided to fight them as a spellcaster. After Ainz took off one of the rings, Roberdyck went to heal Arche after she started vomiting from the tremendous amount of power she sensed coming from Ainz and warned them that they had to run or they would all die, with Roberdyck agreeing with her, revealing that his knees almost caved in after Ainz took off his ring. After Hekkeran ended up being paralyzed by Ainz and knowing that they're outmatched against Ainz, Roberdyck gave Arche his money and told her to escape, telling her that her sisters needed her, while he and Imina would stay behind and hold off Ainz for her.
After Arche flees from the Colosseum, both he and Imina plead with Ainz to show Arche mercy, hoping to convince him to let Arche live. However, Ainz instead orders one of his subordinates, Shalltear Bloodfallen, to hunt Arche down and kill her mercifully. Hearing this, Roberdyck angrily demands to know why Ainz thinks having Arche killed would be considered a mercy, to which Ainz tells him that, in his eyes, death is not a punishment, but a release from suffering. Hearing this, both Roberdyck and Imina decide to fight Ainz with everything they have. However, they are both defeated, with Roberdyck being the only one still conscious. Remembering Ainz's words about death being a mercy, he asks Ainz about what fate awaits him and is horrified when Ainz reveals that he plans to use him as a lab rat in the study of faith-based magics.[4]

Roberdyck came to E-Rantel with his comrades and was hired by Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix. They trained with other workers at the Quarry under the command of Zero and Six Arms. However, some of his comrades loathed working with a few characters.[6] Roberdyck and his team participated in a plan to cull the Chaos Beast horde approaching E-Rantel. However, the Bloody Emperor used the workers to lure the horde of Chaos Beasts into a trap. Roberdyck was among those that fell into the trap.

Relationships
Hekkeran Termite
Roberdyck respects Hekkeran as both his leader and friend. Hekkeran is willing to listen to Roberdyck for advice when the former is unsure of something.
Imina
Imina and Roerdyck are on good terms. They were able to tell what the other was thinking when only they were left to fight Ainz Ooal Gown.
Arche Eeb Rile Furt
Roberdyck considered Arche's membership into Foresight to be a godsend, as the team could not have accomplished many of their missions without her. Later, knowing that they were no match against Ainz, Roberdyck gave her his money and told her flee, telling her that he and Imina would buy her some time.
Ainz Ooal Gown
Upon trying to fight Ainz, Roberdyck realized that they were facing a very powerful individual. When Ainz removed the ring he wears to hide his magical power, Roberdyck commented (in spite of the fact that he wasn't using detection magic) that he felt a dreadful sensation feeling that the atmosphere had changed drastically. While he did try his best to cover Arche and buy her time, he gave up and resigned himself when Ainz casually remarked that he was using magic to stop time and moved around rather than utilizing teleportation magic. The fact that anyone had the power to affect the flow of time shocked Roberdyck and he realized the futility of fighting Ainz, who had the power that could only be referred to as god-like. After Ainz orders Arche to be killed and upon learning of Ainz's interest and plans for him in his experiments, Roberdyck sees Ainz as a complete monster.
