History Characters / DGrayManTheNoah

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's been alive since before Noah's flood [[spoiler: and since his real name is 'Adam', may have been around a lot [[BibleTimes longer]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic than that]]]].

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: It turns out in chapter 218, he has a lot of instability and hatred behind his jolly attitude]]. Although as of recent chapters, he shows much more emotions than he did previously.

** [[spoiler:Losing the Arc is the first time his plans have suffered a major setback]] resulting in a terrifying NightmareFace.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:His past revealed by a sudden flash of memory seems to suggest he has a lot more reason to hate Exorcists and Nea than simply EvilIsPetty]].

* AffablyEvil: She seems like a sweet girl around the Noah, who has a thing for lollipops and asks Tyki to help her with her homework... she also caused an Akuma to self-destruct just to anger off Allen.

* FanServicePack: Compare Road's initial appearance to how she looks now. Slight difference, no? Rumour is that because Road's initial design led to so many questions from readers about whether she was male or female, Hoshino decided to make it more obvious.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Related to BewareTheSillyOnes above. Hilariously incompetent and moronic in day to day life and probably the most dangerous Noah of all once sufficiantly pissed off.

* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]: Jasdero. Before the twins were put on a bus he looked...weird. Now he can give his brother a run for his money.

%%* PaintedOnPants

Skinn Bolic is the Noah of wrath. He can turn into a giant golem who shoots lightning. He likes sweet things. He was a dock worker in New Orleans before his heritage surfaced. He also gets killed by Kanda during the Ark Arc.

%%* TheBigGuy

Lulu Bell is the Noah of Form (Noah of Lust is now known to be a [[http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=837441&postcount=12 mistranslation]] of the correct term) who led an attack on the Black Order H.Q. which caused the death of several people including Tup Dop. Lulu Bell can transform into anything she wants to.

Wisely is the last of the original Apostles of Noah to awaken. He's believed to be the Noah of Wisdom, and his ability as a Noah is his 'demon eye' which affects the brain.

* MrExposition: Due to being the only Noah aside from the Earl who hasn't lost their memories, he fills in quite a bit about the original Noah.
* PowerDyesYourHair: One chapter starts with him awakening as Noah- the page is colored and his hair is brown. It turns white the second his ExtraEyes show up.

* SlasherSmile: Several times when speaking to the Earl.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: For a long time, he's known simply as the 14th Noah. His true name is revealed to be Nea [[spoiler: D. Campbell]].

%%* SmokingIsCool
* SplitPersonality: {{Zigzagged}}, if not {{subverted}}. Tyki says he has both a "white" and a "black" side. The white one is his normal, human life whom he spends along with his human friends, while the black one is his Noah side. However, unlike most examples, Tyki is both aware of both personalities and he lives confortably with both sides, exchanging both of them wherever he needs. Is mentioned however his white side was somewhat erased after the exorcism Allen performed on him failed and Joyd took control of him in the Noah's Ark, as he is having troubles adjusting to his new situation.

The first Noah ever encountered by Allen, she has the appearance of a small girl with spiky black hair. However, she is called the oldest Noah by other members of the family, implying that she was the first to awaken as one. Road is the Noah of Dreams, allowing her to travel between dimensions and control the Ark. She was shown to have survived her whole body exploding into sand/dust in the Arc, and cannot be harmed by physical attacks unless they are inflicted from inside of her dreamworld.

* AffablyEvil: She seems like a sweet girl around the Noah, who has a thing for lolipops and once asked Tyki to help her with her homework... she also caused a Akuma to self-destruct just to piss off Allen.

* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She can fake being a cute little girl quite easily. Her human adoptive mother appears to be completely oblivious to Road's darker side. Then again, she's married to Cheryl...

%%* OlderThanTheyLook
%%* PerkyGoth

* {{Adorkable}}: For all that they're villains they are, in the end, just dorky teenagers. They let themselves be pressured into working off Cross' debt (which is already hilarious for the ''bad guys''), adobt a ''chicken'' for no discernible reason, and shoot Allen with the ''balled up invoices to get him to pay for them'' before dissolving into [[OcularGushers tears]]. One of them even [[BitingTheHandkerchief bites the handkerchief]] at one point.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: One of the rare malicious variety and both of them are this, Jasdero far more so than Devit however. He carries a chicken around, for fuck's sake.

%%* TagTeamTwins
%%* ThoseTwoGuys

%%* MightyGlacier
%%* PsychoElectro: His power.

%%* TearsofBlood

%%* DarkActionGirl

* PettheDog: Her relationship with Mimi.

%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Her power.

* ExpositionBeam: [[spoiler:He uses one of these on Kanda and Allen in chapter 189]].

* {{Telepathy}}: However, he has been unable to read one person, whose mind was too closed off even for him.

%%* WhiteHairBlackHeart

* TheQuietOne: Doesn't speak much when he chats a bit with Tyki, but then again, look at ''that fucking tongue''.

A man who's shrouded in mystery. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The 14th Noah.]] The only facts known about him so far are that he backstabbed his own family 35 years ago, killed almost all of them, failed with his biggest goal and was forced flee from Millennium Earl with his brother for years. He made a pact with Cross Marian, and requested that he watch over Mana, until he returned one day. The future host happened to be Allen, of all people. While it's unclear when exactly were the 14th's memories implanted to him, Allen just was unfortunate enough to be nearby when he died[[note]]Which is canonically established in chapter 206 to be well before Allen's conception[[/note]]. He's now gradually taking over his host's body and mind.

* {{Doppelganger}}: When he appears in [[spoiler:Allen's mind]], he looks almost exactly like Tyki Mikk. This was discussed in chapter 183, when Wisely saw Tyki and was surprised that he looked exactly like "that man".
* EnemyWithin: He's one of these to [[spoiler:Allen]].
* EvilLaugh: When he laughs, ''even the ground rumbles.'' As seen in chapter 198.

%%* LivingMemory
%%* MysteriousPast

%%* SlasherSmile
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: For a long time, he's known simply as the 14th. His true name is revealed to be Nea [[spoiler: D. Campbell]].

* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She can fake being a cute little girl quite easily. Her human adoptive mother appears to be completely oblivious to Road's darker side. Then again, she's married to Sheryl...

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: As there's no official English spelling, fans vary between Sherril, Sheryl, Cyril, and plenty more. The latest fanbook (Gray Log) does note his name down being as 'Sheryl' though.

%%* SharpDressedMan: And how!

%%* DarkActionGirl
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She can fake being a cute little girl quite easily. Her human adoptive mother appears to be completely oblivious to Road's darker side. Then again, she's married to Sherril...
%%* ElegantGothicLolita

%%* LittleMissBadass

Sherril is the Noah of Greed, and is Road's adopted father. He works as a government minister, and is very flamboyant. His ability is [[MindOverMatter telekinesis.]]

%%* DotingParent

%%* SlasherSmile
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: As there's no official English spelling, fans vary between Sherril, Sheryl, Cyril, and plenty more.

%%* CloudCuckooLander: Always.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The Earl is actually both Mana and Neah, who were born after the past Earl, their former incarnation, disappeared]].

* HatShop: He has a habit of wearing multiple hats [[spoiler: to cover the horns on his head]].

* AffablyEvil: He's basically [[AFatherToHisMen a father figure to the Noah]], is extremely polite and seems to forgive all of Allen´s actions because of the fact that [[spoiler: He has the 14th´s memories]]. He also shows in the Destruction of the Order arc that he is perfectly capable of wiping out the hero faction if he chooses to, yet doesn't, although he has become a lot more active as of late.

* BishonenLine: His real form is much more pleasant to the eye than the way we normally see him, to say the least.

* GentlemanAdventurer: His human form has some air to this, mainly for wearing Victorian clothes and having an eccentric personality.

* MonsterClown: With his caricaturesque physique and extravagant attire, along with his makeup-looking grey skin tone, he transmits a sort of friendly, comedic light, in the vein of a classic clown. However, it doesn't hide that he is a powerful and cruel villain under the giggles.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Very unlike the rest of characters, he is drawn in cartoonish, almost grotesque proportions, implying from his very appearance that there is something deeply wrong with this guy. It's not clear how much of it is an artistic resource for the viewer's sake and how of an in-universe physical semblance, as close-ups to his face show more humanlike features, but it is clearly

* PerpetualSmiler: He always has a CheshireCatGrin even when he's angry, [[NightmareFace which looks shocking to say the least]]. [[spoiler: Some chapters play with this trope as his face distorts into very bizarre shapes and more varied emotions]].

* TechnicallyASmile: His face is frozen in a semi-perpetual, enormous toothy grin. Some details, like him barely moving his mouth when talking or eating, hint that [[spoiler:it is actually a mask.]]

* {{Shotacon}}: It has recently been revealed that she has in fact [[spoiler: looked twelve for the past thirty-five years]], and she has a rather creepy affection for fifteen-year-old Allen Walker... [[spoiler: Though given the recent revelation that ''Allen'' might also be older than he looks, this may be some strange case of both sides being legal jailbait instead]].

* {{Lolicon}}: Tyki suspects him to have married only so that he could "adopt" Road; [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/d_gray_man/c158/3.html that's probably not far from the truth]].

->Voiced by Creator/SoichiroHoshi (JP)

* {{Acrofatic}}: [[spoiler: It's a disguise to mask his true slender physique]].

* GentlemanAdventurer: His human form has some air to this. (Hint: it's the hat).

* NiceHat: He wears a different hat every time we see him.

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: It turns out in chapter 218, he has a lot of instability and hatred behind his jolly attitude]].
* TechnicallyASmile: Although as of recent chapters, he shows much more emotions than he did previously.

[[Characters/DGrayMan Back to main.]]

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Comments on how sweet Allen is for crying over a lost soul, and is later shown to be openly smitten with him. Of course, [[MrFanservice you can't really blame her]].

%%* {{Bishonen}}

* {{Expy}}: Of the Wonder Twins, of all things.

The BigBad of the series, the Earl of Millennium (mostly known as the Millennium Earl to Western fans) doesn't look very dangerous due to his cartoonish appearance and cheerful attitude. However, looks are deceiving and this guy is responsible for the death of ''millions'' because of his Akuma.

He usually appears before a person grieving the loss of a loved one and politely offers to bring back the deceased back to life. If the offer is accepted, however, the Earl imprisons the soul in a ominous-looking black metal skeleton. The captured soul will then usually berate and curse the person who agreed to the deal...until the Earl completely takes control of the new Akuma and orders him/her to ''kill the other and wear their skin as a human disguise''. Only Allen's cursed eye is able to see who's really an Akuma in a skin.

* AffablyEvil: He's basically [[AFatherToHisMen a father figure to the Noah]], is extremely polite and seems to forgive all of Allen´s actions because of the fact that [[spoiler: He has the 14th´s memories]]. He also shows in the Destruction of the Order arc that he is perfectly capable of wiping out the hero faction if he chooses to, yet doesn't, although he has become a lot more active as of late.

* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Yeah, he might be utterly insane [[spoiler: Although he seems a lot more lucid in human form...]] but he's also a genuinely jolly old fellow who loves his family. His PersonOfMassDestruction family, but his family nonetheless.

* {{Satan}}: Has very clear aspects of this.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The Earl is actually both Mana and Neah, who were born after the past Earl, their former incarnation, disappeared]].
