Eye color: Once gold, now red
Honorable, Loyal, Intense
—⠀Personality In Three Words
Noel is one of the Seven Heroes and one of its founding members alongside Wagnas. While Wagnas is the leader of the group, he acts as a mediator between its members, having recruited (and accepted) many of them such as Dantarg, Kzinssie and his sister Rocbouquet. Despite being a powerful swordsman, he prefers to solve conflicts with diplomacy instead of violence.
Seeking knowledge throughout the cosmos, Noel aims to assimilate masters of trades and may come off as one of the pickiest "eaters" of the group. In his later years, most if not all of his targets are given ample time to showcase their forms of strength and intelligence so that he may assess them. He will test their might before their souls are his.
A millennia ago, the world was threatened by the Dread Queen and her relentless army of Termites. In the face of certain doom, Wagnas, a devout priest, and Noel, a formidable and skilled fighter, summoned the finest warriors from across the lands to battle.
To combat the overwhelming army of the Dread Queen, the Seven Heroes resorted to forbidden magic, a power which allowed them to merge with the souls of other creatures, absorbing their strength. Owed to this magic, the Seven Heroes emerged victorious, securing the salvation of the world.
However, the very power that had saved the world soon became a source of apprehension among the other ancients. Fearful of the assimilation abilities wielded by the Seven Heroes, they soon became convinced that the Seven would someday turn their potent abilities against those they once saved. They sealed the Seven Heroes away in another dimension, condemning them to an existence beyond the realms of time and space. The heroes, betrayed by the very people they had saved, vowed to one day return and exact vengeance upon the world that had shunned them.
One thousand years later, the Seven Heroes rose again, more powerful than before. Defeat was meaningless– their true bodies remained concealed in the dimensional rift. Until their genuine forms were vanquished, they would persist in their cycle of reincarnation.
Bound by a blood oath, the last remaining hero among them would fiercely guard their true bodies to the bitter end.

Noel has been listed as having an official maximum speed of 30 m/s.
He is a character of loyalty and honor by default, but it could be theorized that his loyalty to Wagnas and the other heroes is bred in part by guilt. He was the one to promote assimilation magic and feels a need to take responsibility.
Noel's pursuit of knowledge is a double-edged sword; he strives to obtain knowledge largely through assimilation, but the act of assimilation affects his faculties in turn. Intelligent as he is, he is just as marred as his methods and subject to error even still.
His sanity dwindles much like any other hero's; however, it could be said that some of his additional clarity is due in part to the parasitism of Etherealism as it itself has grown within him, robbing his body of some assimilated "nutrition," so to speak.
There are instances in which the Etherealism may cause his eyes to shift to a bright blue. This shift is often accompanied by a change of temperament as well.
