The Noah

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/current_noah_family.PNG
Current members of the Noah clan note . Foreground: Lulu Bell (transformed into a panther), Fiedla, Road, Tyki, Mightra, Devit, Jasdero, Mercym, Tryde, Wisely and Sheryl; Background: The Millennium Earl.

A group of fourteen (normally thirteenth) humans who have awakened the "Noah gene" in their bodies, activating a "memory" of the surviving group of humans during The Great Flood. This transformation gives them superhuman powers, as well as control over the Akumas and immunity to their blood. If one of them is killed, his/her memories are able to reincarnate in another human, making them virtually immortal. They are led by the Millennium Earl (who is at the same time Adam, the first of the Noah), and serve as the main antagonists of the series, opposing the Black Order and the Innocence. They call themselves the true apostles of God, for reasons unknown at the moment.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: While the color of their skin in their Noah forms tends to vary between grey and brown in the manga, they are portrayed consistently as gray in the first anime, while in Hallow their skin color varies between gray and brown (this last one notably when they are in their intermediate form between human and Noah).
  • Ambiguously Brown: The Noah's skin in their true form is colored between believably brownish and inhumanly greyish depending of the medium. The Earl is consistently gray, though.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: With the exception of the 14th (that is the other half of the Earl), after awakening as a Noah, the new members of the clan inherit a determinate aspect of Noah depending on what Memory they get, which gives them certain Dark Matter abilities apart from the general powers the Noah have. The Memories include:
    • 1st Memory: Adam (so far not stated to represent anything in particular).
    • 2nd Memory: Tryde (Judge).
    • 3rd Memory: Joyd (Pleasure).
    • 4th Memory: Desires (Desire).
    • 5th Memory: Wisely (Wisdom).
    • 6th Memory: Fiedla (Corrosion).
    • 7th Memory: Mercym (Pity).
    • 8th Memory: Wrathra (Wrath).
    • 9th Memory: Road (Dreams).
    • 10th and 11th Memories: Bondom (Bonds).
    • 12th Memory: Lustol (Lust).
    • 13th Memory: Mightra (Ability).
  • Avenging the Villain: According to Sheryl, one of the reasons why they awakened Alma Karma and turned him into an Akuma was to avenge Skinn Bolic's death in the Ark at the hands of Kanda, forcing him to fight his first friend to the death once again in order to make him pay for killing one of the family.
  • Back from the Dead: Zigzagged. If one of the Noah is killed, the human carrying the memories will die for good, but the Memory of the Noah will survive and reincarnate in another host that will replace to previous one. So far, only Skinn has been killed, but the Earl is expecting for the new host of the Wrath of Noah to awake at any moment.
  • Color-Coded Characters: For some reason, following the Black Order Invasion arc, all of them except for the Earl (who keeps his previous clothing style), Mightra (who remains covered in their weird hood) and Lulubell (who spends her next appearences transformed into animals), they are shown wearing some strange white outfits, probably to contrast with the black uniforms that the Exorcists wear. They seem to only wear them when they are in important situations, as they still use their civilian clothes while incognito.
  • Color Motif: Opposing the green of the Innocence, the Dark Matter the Noah use is depicted with a deep purplish color symbolizing its evil nature compared with the holy element of their rivals.
  • Enemy Civil War: The Noah secretly hate the Millennium Earl as he's "The Pillar" that destroyed their world thousands of years ago. They've been tormenting him for years. Even then, not all of them are on the same page in regards to getting revenge for the lose of their world, as Tyki and Road secretly conspire with Cross and Allen to stop Mana from being forced to be the Millenium Earl.
  • Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: Literally as they are technically a family (though one united by the memories of Noah rather than blood). The Noah are shown to truly care and get along with each other and are often seen engaging in mundane activities with other members of the family while not fighting the Exorcists. However, the love of the family towards the Earl was questioned in the flashback of how Allen met Mana, as Cross says to Road that they are using the Earl for their own purposes and he's not in truth part of the family.
  • Facial Markings: Stigmata, with their number varying between member and member.
  • Human Subspecies: They are humans who inherited the genes of Noah and his family, which turns them into periodic reincarnations of members of the ancient household.
  • Light Is Not Good: During the Alma Karma incident, they appear wearing Stripperific white clothes, seemingly to contrast the black uniforms of the Exorcists. Of course, their ultimate goal is to destroy the world, so they’re far from benevolent.
  • Our Dark Matter Is Mysterious: Noah employ for their purposes a substance opposite to Innocence known as Dark Matter, which gives them their abilities and allows them to destroy Innocence and in the case of the Earl, create Akuma. It usually appears as a purple colored power normally employed in the shape of energy beams.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Purple is the color of the Dark Matter abilities the Noah and the Akuma use and serves to display their power and might.
  • The Remnant: As implied by the name, Noah are remnants of humanity after they were destroyed by God. It's revealed that they are the survivors of the destruction of their entire world.
  • Trauma-Induced Amnesia: As a result of the 14th's killing them 35 years ago, all of the Noah but Road and Wisely had their Genetic Memory irreparably damaged, the damage in turn causing them to be triggered whenever the events of 35 years ago are brought up. In truth, the previous incarnation of Wisely locked those memories away deliberately, fearful of what the knowledge of Nea and his relationship with Mana would do to the Noah. He only decides to unlock them after seeing just what Apocryphos is capable of and reaching the Godzilla Threshold.
  • Slasher Smile: They tend to sport wicked, demented grins when they are tormenting their enemies (especially when they do it in unpleasant ways, that tends to be more often than not). It must run in the family.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: The all have yellow eyes, hinting their superhuman nature.
  • Villains Out Shopping:
    • When Tyki is invited over to the Millennium Earl's lair, he ends up having to help one of the Earl's favorites, Road Kamelot, with her homework.
    • The Noah family in general would be a normal, happy family, enjoying family dinners and helping each other out when they need it, if not for the whole "wanting to destroy the world/kill God" thing.
    • Tyki also has friends from before he awakened as a Noah. Whenever he's not being an evil henchman, odds are, he'll be with them. This was actually how he met Allen the first time.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: The Camelots, Tyki and the Earl lead double lives as revered socialites. The Earl in particular is ironically shown to be quite kindhearted and generous in his human persona.

    The Earl of Millennium 

    Tryde 

Tryde

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tryde.png

The second apostle and the Noah of Judge (Tryde). A quiet young man with a serious expression. His role among the Noah is to ensure that no betrayals happen in the family.


  • All There in the Manual: His role in the series has been incredibly scarce, so most of the info regarding him comes from the fanbook Gray Log.
  • Cool Sword: During his attack on the Socalo squad, he appears to have a weapon resembling a sword behind his back. He doesn’t get the chance to use it, however.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: The name of his Noah Memory has been shaky, with many translations using either “Toraido” or “Tryde”.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: He has only been referred to by the name of his Noah memory by Wisely. His actual name so far has never been revealed in any media.
  • Perpetual Frowner: A rather menacing frown seems to be his default expression.
  • The Quiet One: Doesn’t say a word in any of his appearances, remaining silent with a grouchy expression. His section in Gray Log even states he dislikes talking.

In casual clothes 

Human form 

The third apostle and the Noah of Pleasure (Joyd). One of the first Noah we meet, who is perpetually surrounded by a cloud of butterflies. He originally lived as a homeless worker with his normal human friends while sometimes going back home to the Earl to do jobs (mainly killing people) because he thought it was fun. At the end of the Ark Arc, he was temporarily controlled by his Noah, which resulted in some new scars and long hair. Despite it being said that his Noah has 'awakened', the only significant change to his personality seems to be being very very cheerful around the hero.


  • Affably Evil: Hey, he's a pretty polite guy for someone who's supporting the End of the World as We Know It. Makes more sense with the reveal he's not really supporting it, his Noah Memory is just compelling him to.
  • Ambiguously Related: It's regularly noted that Tyki has an uncanny physical resemblance to Nea D. Campbell, but what connection they share is still an unknown. Apocryphos claims Tyki's Noah Memory, "Joyd", still holds an attachment to Nea, with his regrets causing him to reincarnate into someone who physically resembles Nea, that person being Tyki.
  • Author Appeal: The author admitted to creating him just because she wanted another really handsome guy to draw, and it shows.
  • Ax-Crazy: What do expect from a guy who literally crushes your heart and uses Tease that eat people from the inside. Largely begins to be subverted following his battle with Allen on the Ark.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: In the sense that he knows so little about the Noah and their history compared to his "siblings" that he is practically an Audience Surrogate for that part of the lore. It might have to do with the fact that his Noah memory was seriously damaged.
  • Beat Still, My Heart: How he usually uses his Intangible Man powers.
  • Body Horror: He inflicted this on Allen, and his One-Winged Angel form has some aspects of this.
  • Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: The Tease (Teez? Teaz? Tese?) he carries around with him.
  • Cool Big Bro: He´s like one to Road.
  • Evil Feels Good: Initially shown to enjoy his 'black' side, but this starts to lessen after his battle with Allen and learning about "Joyd".
  • Friendly Enemy: Ehhh, kinda. He took an interest in Allen after he learned that the kid had survived their first encounter, which eventually grew into genuine respect and fondness to the point he (along with Road) rescued Allen from a sentient Innocence. It's very one-sided, however.
  • Hero Killer: For the moment, he's the Noah with the highest body count of all the series. He so far has killed general Yeegar, Daisya Barry, Suman Dark and his two partners and Klaud's team. He also was on the verge to kill Allen too.
  • Intangible Man: Tyki's special power as a Noah allows him to manipulate all matter of this world, though that is usually used to make him able to phase through things at will. The extreme of this ability allows him to even create vacuums by rejecting the oxygen and ambient air pressure around his enemies.
  • Lascivious Beauty Mark: As a character explicitely created to be a bonafide Mr. Fanservice, Tyki possesses a small mole under his left eye who helps to convey the feeling he's a sensual character.
  • Like Brother and Sister: All the Noah are family, but Tyki and Road in particular seem to treat each other like actual siblings (although, being The Tease, he has mock-flirted with her at least once) and seem to hang out on and off the job more than the others.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Hey, the author herself wanted to make another handsome guy, so she made him.
  • Nightmare Face: Holy mother of god, get me the fuck away from this guy.
  • One-Winged Angel: His true form is a scary one.
  • Painted-On Pants: In his Noah outfit.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Literally. When he's not on business for the Earl he works in a Portuguese mine together with a friend and an orphan. He's also a pretty good guy when he's not angry.
  • Scars Are Forever: He has massive scars across his chest from his fight with Allen in the Ark.
  • Significant Birth Date: His birthday revealed in Grey Log is on Christmas Day, same as Allen's. And considering the whole mystery with how Tyki looks like Nea, its likely to have some intentional meaning.
  • Slasher Smile: The last thing you see before Tyki pulls your heart out without leaving a mark on your outer body is this.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Almost every scene has him smoking a cigarette.
  • Split Personality: 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 aware of both personalities and he lives comfortably with both sides, exchanging both of them wherever he needs. It's 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.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: A really terrifying knight with insect-like tentacles.
  • Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He can also get pretty snarky.
  • Tranquil Fury: Road notes that this is when he is at his scariest.
  • Walk on Water: His selective interaction ability allows him to do this.

    Sheril Kamelot 

Sheril Kamelot

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (JP), David Matranga (ENG)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sheril_kamelot_hallow.png

The fourth apostle and the Noah of Desire (Desires), as well as Road's adopted father. He works as a government minister, and is very flamboyant. His ability is telekinesis.


  • Ax-Crazy: He can become very violent and deranged in certain situations, most of them involving Road.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Don't be fooled by his silly antics, Sheril is actually as brutal as the rest of his kind, and when he's angry, he can be quite merciless. Just ask Lavi.
  • The Chessmaster: In his debut chapter, he's shown to organize a mock assassination attempt on himself during a diplomat reunion in order to keep a war with another nation, thus ensuring more people will die and become Akuma for the Earl.
  • Doting Parent: To Road. He got married just so he could adopt her.
  • Evil Chancellor: As a trusted government minister, he's able to manipulate politics to help out the Noahs.
  • Faux Affably Evil: At times, he may come as polite, but that attitude hides a mocking intent behind, and he quickly reverts to his usual sadistic persona.
  • High-Class Glass: During his acting as a minister, he's seen wearing a monocle on his right eye, giving him an air of sophistication.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: As there's no official English spelling, fans vary between Sheril, Sheryl, Cyril, and plenty more. The latest fanbook (Gray Log) does note his name down being as 'Cheryl' though.
  • Large Ham: Has several moments, normally related to Road.
  • Last Episode, New Character: He actually appears in the last episode of the first anime. However, unlike in the manga, his appearance is so minor (he doesn't even gets to have any spoken lines) that it may be a cameo.
  • Mask of Sanity: He publicly appears as a polite and professional politician, but under that facade, lies a depraved and sadistic individual infatuated with his adoptive daughter to disturbing extremes.
  • Mind over Matter: This is revealed to be Sheril's power as a Noah.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: He merrily gets too close to Tyki and Road (his daughter she's just playing the part and is Older Than She Looks, but still), and also holds poor Tokusa while he uses his Noah ability to attack him.
  • Papa Wolf: To Road. When Road disappeared, he went straight to torturing Lavi to get info out of Bookman.
  • People Puppets: In recent chapters, he's shown using his telekinesis on members of the Order in this manner.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: While exercising his role of a minister, he appears wearing formal clothes.
  • Slasher Smile
  • Stepford Smiler: For the most part, Sheril is always smiling in more or less the same way, his genial smile and Slasher Smile being virtually identical. When his true nature is showing through, however, his eyes convey it quite clearly.
  • Softspoken Sadist: Outright says to Allen to cooperate with them during the beginning of the Alma Karma arc otherwise he will torture the scientists present.
  • Yandere: For Road, big time. He's so obssessed with her that any harm she receives sends him into a berserk rage. When Tyki tells him that Road dissappeared protecting Allen from Apocryphos, he absolutely loses it and brutally push Lavi against a wall, asking then Bookman about the relationship of the 14th Noah and Road with a psychotic look.

    Wisely Kamelot 

Wisely Kamelot

Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (JP), Micah Solusod (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wisely_hallow.png

The fifth apostle and the Noah of Wisdom (Wisely). He's the last of the original Apostles of Noah to awaken in the current generation. His ability as a Noah is his 'demon eye' which affects the brain.


  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's still a big threat, but he seems a little more "out there" than many of the Noah.
  • Exposition Beam: He uses one of these on Kanda and Allen in chapter 189 which leads into Kanda's and Alma's backstory arc.
  • Extra Eyes: There are three extra eyes in his forehead.
  • Mind Rape: His powers can do this.
  • Mr. Exposition: Due to being the only Noah aside from the Earl and perhaps Road who hasn't lost their memories, he fills in quite a bit about the original Noah.
  • Power Dyes Your Hair: One chapter starts with him awakening as Noah- the page is coloured and his hair is brown. It turns white the second his Extra Eyes show up.
  • Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: Like other Noah, he has dark skin and his platinum blonde hair makes him stand out for his unique telepathic power.
  • Telepathy: However, he has been unable to read Alma, whose mind was too closed off even for him.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: He's one of the antagonists and has platinum blond hair.
  • Your Head A-Splode: He can crush people's brains at will.

    Fiedla 

Fiedla

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fiidora_hallow.png

The sixth apostle and the Noah of Corrosion (Fiedla). One of the Noah that woke off-screen. Attacked Lavi and Bookman, and took them as hostages. Also injured Chaozii.


  • Body Horror: When he attacks Link, his entire torso is shown to form the Noah's grin smiling.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: After Link releases the Earl from his bindings, Fiedla doesn't want to fight anymore and asks Link to release him so he can go back and eat.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: Has Extra Eyes on his tongue.
  • Eye Spy: His power can also be used to spy on people from within.
  • The Quiet One: Doesn't speak much when he chats a bit with Tyki, but then again, look at that tongue.
  • Terrible Artist: Seems to like doodling.
  • The Virus: What his power appears to be.

    Mercym 

Mercym

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mercym.PNG

The seventh apostle and the Noah of Pity (Mercym). A relaxed, muscular man always seen wearing sunglasses.


  • Anachronism Stew: Though there were sunglasses in the 19th century, the ones Mercym carries look too modern for the setting. A subtle hint to how they're not from the 19th century, they're from his old world before it was destroyed, which was much closer to the modern day.
  • Ambiguously Brown: His full lips, hairstyle and broad nose point to him being of African descent, but nothing has been confirmed at the moment, as he has only been seen in his Noah form. Doesn’t help that he belongs to the already Ambiguously Brown Noah Family.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: In his brief battle against Madarao he’s only shown fighting with punches and kicks without using any kind of weapon or Dark Matter ability.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: The name of his Noah Memory has been shaky, with many translations using either “Maashiima”, “Mercym” or “Maushyma”.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: He has only been referred to by the name of his Noah memory by both Wisely and Fiedla’s parasitic tongue. His actual name so far has never been revealed in any media.
  • The Quiet One: In his brief screentime confronting Allen, Madarao and Tokusa he barely says anything and lets Tyki and Sheryl do the talking.
  • Sinister Shades: He wears a pair of anachronistic sunglasses. This makes him look more modern than the rest of the Noah, who tend to wear clothes more suited for the 19th century setting.
  • Smug Smiler: During his fight against the Exorcists in Jordan at the beginning of the Alma Karma arc he’s seen smiling confidently, hinting a mocking aura.
  • Sunglasses at Night: No matter the situation, he always has his shades with him. According to the fanbook Gray Log, the shades are a necessity for him.

    Skinn Bolic 

Skinn Bolic

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (JP), Sonny Strait (EN), Nacho Aramburu (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skinn_bolic_3.png

As a human 

Transformed 

The eight apostle and the Noah of Wrath (Wrathra). A brutish man who adores to eat sweet things and holds a particular deep hatred towards the Innocence even among the rest of the Noah. His Noah power allows him to turn into an armored being with the ability to generate lightning. He was a dock worker in New Orleans before his heritage surfaced. He gets killed by Kanda during the Ark Arc after a fierce fight.


  • Ax-Crazy: Even for the standards of the rest of the Noah, he's very unstable and insane, mostly due how traumatic his awakening as a Noah was, as well as having the memory of Noah completely taking his personality.
  • Blood Knight: Skinn loves to fight. A lot. This is the reason why he never attacked the Tiedoll's unit by himself, because he couldn't pick whom to fight first. He finally get his wish when he engages in a fight with Kanda in the Noah's Ark.
  • Body Horror: Whenever Kanda attacked him it tore off huge chunks of his body and left him covered in huge gashes. By the end of his battle both of his arms and half of his torso is gone.
  • Breath Weapon: One of the applications he gives to his lightning powers is the one to shoot concentrated beams of electrical energy out of his mouth. He starts his fight with Kanda by throwing one of these at him.
  • The Brute: A pretty classic example. He's a mountain of muscles, is nasty, not very bright, loves to fight and is very powerful.
  • Character Death: So far, he has been the only Noah to be killed in the series.
  • Dirty Coward: Subverted. Kanda initially thought he was one all the times he attacked the Tiedoll's unit, as he sent the Akumas to do the dirty job while he was hiding away from the battlefield (not very succesfully, as Kanda spotted him several times during those figths), but during their battle in the Noah's Ark, Skinn reveals to him that the only reason why he didn't attacked them was because he couldn't decide whom to start fighting with between Kanda, Marie and Tiedoll.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: An Akuma maid serves him something that it's not sweet? Skinn beats the hell out of her until he's satisfied.
  • Dumb Muscle: Skinn is not the smartest fellow around. His fighting style is simply crush or electrocute the enemy without second thoughts and doesn't bothers to use complex strategies, just limiting himself to charge straight to his target.
  • Establishing Character Moment: The first time he appears on screen, he beats brutally an Akuma maid just because the food she served wasn't sweet, introducing him as a very wrathful individual who loves sweet food.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Considering who voices him, this is expected. As such, Skin possesses a low, guttural voice showcasing his brutality.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: As the Noah representing the aspect of Wrath, Skinn makes justice to this title by possessing a really prone-anger temperament and zero amount of restraint when someone or something ticks him off. The cause that can make him furious range from being served non-sweet food to anything regarding the Innocence, who turns him completely insane. Noticeably, he was a lot more milder and quiet before his awakening as a Noah, but the memory who awakened inside him turned him into a wrathful mess.
  • Killed Off for Real: Zigzagged in his case. Skinn as the human carrying the memory of the Wrath was killed in the Noah's Ark by Kanda, but the memory of the Noah Wrathra survived. The Earl is currently awaiting for the new host of Wrathra to awake, but, so far, nothing to the respect has happened, nor it has been hinted.
  • Light Is Not Good: His true form is golden, and his lightning creates a lot of light, but, as a member of the Noah, he is an antagonist, and one of the most brutal ones of its members.
  • Made of Iron: He survives several attacks from an exorcist who can cut a level 3.5 akuma in half!
  • Mighty Glacier: In contrast to Kanda (who is both fast and strong), Skinn is very strong and can shoot devastating attacks, but he lacks the speed that his opponent has.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: As a result from being overtaken by Wrathra, his eyes turned iris-less, thing that gives him a feral appearence. Curiously enough, when he enters in his One-Winged Angel form, he gains the Supernatural Gold Eyes that all of the Noah have.
  • One-Winged Angel: His Wrath of God ability covers his body in a golden armor of electricity with several curved spires emerging out of his body, making him bulkier and giving him the ability to manipulate lightning, with the bonus of being able to regenerate from wounds.
  • Psycho Electro: His Noah power consists in the manipulation of lightning, and he's a vicious brute who loves to fight and destroy his enemies.
  • Reduced to Dust: After all the damage he took in the fight and being vertically bisected by Kanda with his last attack, Skinn's body gives up and disintegrates into dust, leaving only his clothes behind.
  • Sanity Slippage: His awakening as a Noah was so traumatic that his previous mild-mannered personality was changed by his current wrathful and brutal behaviour, being completely taken by the memory of Wrath. During the climax of his fight with Kanda, the little remain of sanity he has gets thrown in the trash as he becomes completely taken by his inner Noah in his last attempt to kill the Exorcist.
  • Shock and Awe: He has the power to generate and manipulate purple lightning out of his body, being able to shoot lightning bolts, shape his attacks into wheels or conduct it towards his enemies to hurt them when they touch him.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He's killed in the Ark just after being fleshed-out, but his role serves to introduce the reincarnation of the memories of the Noah, that would be an important plot point later.
  • Sweet Tooth: Explained in a flashback that when he first regained his memories, he started biting off his own fingers. Road and the Millennium Earl gave him candy to calm him down.
  • Tears of Blood: After being mortally wounded by Kanda, Skinn starts to cry blood as he remembers the moment of his awakening and the hatred he feels against the Innocence, recovering his strength for a last assault against the Exorcist.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: His inner voice unrelentingly repeats this.
  • Unstoppable Rage: He's the Noah of Wrath. Not that it stops Kanda from cutting through him like a piece of paper.
  • Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: Since his abilities come from Dark Matter, his lightning attacks are portrayed as purple colored.

    Road Kamelot 

Road Kamelot

Voiced by: Ai Shimizu (JP, 2006 anime), Yui Kondo (JP, Hallow), Cherami Leigh (EN), Sara Polo (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/road_kamelot_hallow.png

The ninth apostle and the Noah of Dreams (Road). 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. She can travel between dimensions and control the Ark. She was shown to have survived her whole body exploding into sand/dust in the Ark, and cannot be harmed by physical attacks unless they are inflicted from inside of her dreamworld or inflicted by Apocryphos.


  • Affably Evil: 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 Allen.
  • The Bus Came Back: Returned in chapter 219, though in an energy sprite form that according to Wisely is the most she can muster at the moment, the aforementioned hit from Apocryphos having hurt her a LOT.
  • Character Development: Interestingly, while she remains a Noah and averts Villain Decay, she seems to behave a little less sinister each time Allen meets her. She's gone from stabbing him in the eye the first time they met, to kissing him the second time, and now she's saved his life twice in the last few days because of her feelings for him. Her attraction to and concern for Allen appears to be the cause of her decreasingly antagonistic behavior, so it's likely she'd still be pretty scary if she was dealing with anyone but Allen. Of course proven when she attempts to Mind Rape Lavi.
  • Creepy Doll: In chapters 187 and 188, Road is seen in the form of one of these.
  • Daddy's Little Villain: Her relationship with the Millennium Earl is a perfect example of this trope.
  • Dark Action Girl: She is powerful, though her fighting style is not physical and she prefers to destroy her victims mentally using her dreamworld.
  • Deliberately Cute Child: 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 Sheril...
  • The Dragon: Among the Noah, she seems to be the one closest to the Earl and the only one who knows his true goal, while the other members just go along with whatever the Earl tells them to do.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She cares really deeply for her family. Also Allen, but then again, he is family.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: She really didn't like the whole deal with Kanda's memories.
  • Evil Is Petty: She once forces the Noah to make her homework for her. Surprisingly, the Earl complies voluntarily with comical motivation.
  • Fanservice Pack: 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. Lampshaded later on in one of Komui's Discussion Room Talks.
  • Finger-Lickin' Evil: Technically, she was licking one of her candles, but the effect was there.
  • For the Evulz: Why she's willing to create a door that would allowing the Exorcists trapped inside of the arc to escape, but the only way they can get to it is if they battle the Noah who are also inside of it. Really the only reason the others do it too. And she decided that messing with Allen would be more fun than others, that's why she chose him.
  • Genki Girl: Albeit a rather creepy one.
  • Little Miss Badass
  • Mind Rape: What she does to Lavi while he is in her dreamworld. And also to Marshall Yeegar earlier in the series, also in her dreamworld. Heck, her dreamworld specialises in this.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: She's all over Allen whenever she can possibly manage it.
  • Older Than They Look: The only Noah besides the Earl not to be killed by the 14th 35 years ago, so we know she must at least be around that age at the minimum.
  • Perky Goth
  • Put on a Bus: Had been missing since she and Tyki bails Allen out of the Order, taking a hit from the Apocryphos in the process.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Comments on how sweet Allen is for crying over a lost soul, and is later shown to be openly smitten with him. Of course, you can't really blame her.
  • Slasher Smile: All members of the Noah family have sported one of these at some time or another, Road just does it more frequently.
  • Villainous Crush: Interestingly, this seems to be a source of Character Development for her, since her crush on Allen makes her act nicer to him and help him out when he gets in a jam more than once.
  • Villainous Rescue:
    • When Allen was being consumed by Kanda's memories during his Journey to the Center of the Mind in chapter 192, Road stepped in and saved him for no apparent reason beyond affection.
    • She also teamed up with Tyki to save Allen from being possessed by a sentient innocence...and even wound up Taking the Bullet (a rather painful-looking punch, in this case) for him!

Jasdevi 

The tenth and eleventh apostles and the Noah(s) of Bonds (Bondom). These twins have chased Cross Marian worldwide, getting more and more debt along the way. They're out to pass the debts on to Allen Walker. The twins' Noah ability is materialization, and shooting several different elements by mental will. If the two sing a song and shoot each other, they turn into their original form, Jasdevi. Krory fights them on the Ark.


In General

  • Beware the Silly Ones: Big time. 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), adopt a chicken for no discernible reason, and shoot Allen with the balled up invoices to get him to pay for them before dissolving into tears. One of them even bites the handkerchief at one point. They spend most of their time being hilariously incompetent at just about everything but once they get into the fight they manage to make three fully capable exorcists plus an injured Lenalee and Chaozii look like complete idiots.
  • The Bus Came Back: In chapter 187, they are revealed to have survived their battle with Krory.
  • Creepy Twins
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Related to Beware the Silly Ones above. Hilariously incompetent and moronic in day to day life and probably one of the most dangerous Noahs of all once sufficiently angered.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: They definitely care about each other if no one else. Post bus ride they are more often than not seen holding hands or being generally very close to each other. One can only assume that almost dying made their bond even stronger.
  • Evil Is Petty: The main conflict they have with the Exorcists in the Ark is to make Allen pay all the debts Cross left them, starting a death battle for something that was the result of their own stupidity.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Devit's pants.
  • Finishing Each Other's Sentences: When they're not speaking in unison they tend to do this.
  • The Gunslinger: Before they actually get serious about fighting.
  • Hypocrite: They have no problem deeming Krory as a blood-sucking freak, however, they get enraged when someone else refers to them as a monster.
  • Imagination-Based Superpower: The power of the Bonds of Noah consists in materialize stuff they imagine (normally in the shape of bullets), with the condition that both twins have to think of the same thing at the same thing. While fused into Jasdevi, the power becomes unlimited, with Jasdevi being able to create almost anything he can think on and even manipulate his body at will.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Jasdebi/Jasdevi and Devito/Debito/David/Devit/Debitt. Word of God is that it's Devit for the latter. Presumably, based on that it will be Jasdevi for the former.
  • Iron Maiden: A creation of them they used twice:
    • As Jasdevi, they materialize one to surely kill Krory in a sadistic way, offering to give him a coffin in the shape of an iron maiden that crushes and stab the Exorcists to near death. Krory only manages to survive by taking his Innocence to its limits.
    • Later, as the twins, they use it to trap Apocryphos after he kills Timcanpy. However, the Innocence casually breaks it without trouble, forcing the twins to face him directly.
  • Laughably Evil: Their sheer incompetence is really amusing, even for the Noah's standards (who are hilarious, in a very twisted way).
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Both of them have long hair when they appear again.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: As they come off as ridiculous and annoying brats, Exorcists hardly think of them as a threat. After being told off too many times by them, Jasdevi finally snap and remind the cast and viewers alike that they're freakin' Noah.
  • Painted-On Pants
  • Put on a Bus: They disappear for a long time after Krory defeated them in the Ark, reappearing during the Alma Karma incident along with the rest of Noah before engaging General Socalo's unit in battle in Russia.
  • Revenge by Proxy: They are humilliated and indebted by Cross multiple times, so when Road tells them Allen is in the Ark, they decide to take revenge on Cross by making his student pay for all the debts the General put on them. It goes to the point that even as the more serious Jasdevi the main goal of the twins is still making him take care of the debts.
  • Sibling Fusion: If cornered, they are able to merge together into a single entity known as Jasdevi by shooting each other in the head with their guns. It's said by Jasdevi that he was originally a single individual who split up into Jasdero and Devit, and that his Noah awakening may have something to do with the origin of the twins.
  • Single-Minded Twins: An actual superpower of theirs.
  • Skewed Priorities: Even in the middle of an Ark about to crumble into nothing, they still want to use Allen as a scapegoat for all the debts Cross gave them.
  • Speak in Unison: They speak simultaneously all the time.
  • Superpower Lottery: In theory, they may have the single most powerful ability in the series, being able to make anything they both think of at the same time come real. If they werent crazy Cloudcuckoolanders, they could use this to say, fill the entire room with lava or make their opponent's head explode.
  • Tag Team Twins
  • Those Two Guys: As typical fictional twins, they are always shown together.
  • Twin Telepathy: Capable of this is necessary.

Tropes exclusively applied to Devit

The leader of the twins and the most functional one. A rambunctious, immature teen with a short temper who likes to look down on others.
  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: A rare case of one Cloudcuckoolander taking care of another one, somewhat. Devit is the twin with a firmer grip on reality and nudges his brother along and keeping him focused on occasion. That being said, he's pretty damn goofy himself.
  • Jerkass: He's very rude towards his opponents and even his allies, coming as a huge bratty teenager.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Played With. Devit is more analytical and down to earth than his brother, but only compared to him. Most of the time he's as much of an idiot as he is.

Tropes exclusively applied to Jasdero

The other twin, way more childish and immature than his brother. He's giggling all the time and has blond hair unlike his brother.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: A rare malicious variety. While both he and Devit are pretty ridiculous, Jasdero is far dumber and airheaded. He ends up casually carrying around a chicken left behind by Cross, for goodness's sake.
  • He Cleans Up Nicely: Before the Alma arc he looked weird and doll-like. Upon his reappearance while he's not wearing make-up nor has his mouth stitched he looks more conventionally handsome.
  • The Hyena: Jasdero tends to gigle all the time with an obnoxious "hee-hee!", even when he's in troubles.
  • Mouth Stitched Shut: His original design had his mouth stitched, though it didn't stop him from speaking in any way.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Compared to Devit, Jasdero comes as dumber and less functional, with his brother leading him when they fight.

Tropes exclusively applied to Jasdevi

The combination of both twins and their trump card. Unlike his divided shelves, Jasdevi is way more brutal, intelligent, sadistic and powerful, being able to use a stronger and direct version of the materialization power of the twins. He appears in the Ark after the twins fuse following their anger at Krory for treating them like brats.
  • Jerkass: His personality takes more from Devit and it shows. Jasdevi is even more arrogant and condescending than the twins, spending most of his fight with the Exorcists smugly belittling and trash talking them.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Piercing his enemies with his hair or his creations is one of his favorite ways to fight. Ironically, Krory's blood mannequin later pierces his torso with his hand to recover the blood Chomesuke left in the last blood vial that Jasdevi drank to avoid the Exorcist to power up further.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's quite pretty and has a long mane of blond hair that he can even weaponize as Prehensile Hair.
  • Prehensile Hair: One of the applications he gives to his power is the one to manipulate his hair at will to make it grow and restrain and/or stab his enemies.
  • Sadist: While Jasdero and Devit are simply a pair of troublemakers who enjoy pranking others, Jasdevi is way more vicious and cruel in his methods, taking great pleasure in tormenting his enemies in painful and gruesome ways.
  • Voice of the Legion: In the vein of typical anime fusions in anime, Jasdevi's voice is depicted as having the echoing voices of Jasdero and Devit talking at the same time.

    Lulu Bell 

Lulu Bell

Voiced by: Arisa Ogasawara (JP, 2006 anime), Monica Rial (EN), Mar Bordallo (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lulu_bell.png

The twelfth apostle and the Noah of Lust (Lustol). An animalistic woman whose loyalty to the Earl is unbreakable. She led an attack on the Black Order H.Q. which caused the death of several people including Tup Dopp. Lulu Bell can transform into anything she wants to.


  • Arc Villain: Two times if we count the anime. The first in a Filler Arc (who lasted from episodes 41-50) situated before the start of the Fallen One arc where she attacks Allen and her friends multiple times, and the second in the Black Order Invasion arc, where she attacks the European Brand of the Black Order along with a group of Level 3 Akumas and Skulls to retrieve the Akuma Egg that Cross stole from the Ark. In the latter, she's eventually forced to retreat before the eventual appearence of the true antagonist of the arc: the Level 4 Akuma.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: She's presented in the manga during the Black Order Invasion arc, when she serves as the Arc Villain (before being replaced by the Level 4 Akuma). In the anime, however, she appears in a Filler Arc way before the start of the Fallen One arc, many chapters before her proper introduction in the source material.
  • Animal Motif: Cats. In the anime she appears many times transformed as one and when Wisely awakes and the Earl and the rest of the Noahs appear before him, she can be seen with the shape of a panther.
  • Badass Longcoat: In contrast to her usual black suit attire, she sports the Black Order's Branch Chief white coat that she weared while impersonating the deceased Andrew Nansen during her attack at the Black Order's European headquarters.
  • Captain Obvious: "Stop! If you damage the egg any further it will explode!" Well, yeah, that's kind of the purpose in case you hadn't noticed yet.
  • Cats Are Mean: In the anime, she often appears as a black cat.
  • Combat Tentacles: She can transform her arms into whip-like tentacles who can stab, grab and hit opponents, being her preferred way of fighting.
  • Dark Action Girl: She's a skilled fighter able to stand the attack from the General Exorcists for a while. She however prefers to leave the dirty work to the Akumas before engaging herself in a fight (both in the anime and the manga).
  • Dub Name Change: Is known as Lulubell in Spain.
  • Elemental Shapeshifter: She is shown to be able to turn into a water humanoid to trap Miranda (who was holding the Noah's Ark gate from taking the Akuma Egg with her Innocence) and later take her as an hostage when she was being overpowered by the Generals. In this form she's inmune to an extent to powerful physical attacks thanks to her liquid body, and can materialize physical arms in order to attack her enemies.
  • Emotionless Girl: In her normal form, her Noah one is more expressive.
  • Everyone Looks Sexier if French: Downplayed. Lustol awakened in the body of an attractive French woman, but she's for the most part reserved and not played for Fanservice.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Zigzagged. Noticeably, she always has her eyes closed while she is in her human form, but opens them in her Noah state.
  • Kill and Replace: Does this to Andrew Nansen to infiltrate in the European headquarters of the Black Order in order to retrieve the Akuma Egg.
  • Lady of War: She's calm and reserved, and her weapon is a more ladylike whip.
  • Not So Stoic: While she is usually calm and calculating (especially compared to the rest of the Noahs), she totally loses her mind when the Egg is destroyed by Allen, to the point of even cursing him. She later shed tears of rage.
    • During the Alma Karma arc, she is seen smiling viciously through the forehead of her dragon form while taunting Lenalee and her unit.
  • Panthera Awesome: Going along with her cat motif, she, for some reason, appears with the shape of a big black panther when the Earl and the rest of the Noah appear to greet Wisely after his awakening.
  • Pet the Dog: Her relationship with Mimi in the anime only.
  • Power Dyes Your Hair: She goes from blonde to brunette when she assumes her Noah form.
  • Shapeshifter Weapon: The whip she uses to fight while being in her normal form is created from her right hand.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Her Noah power gives her the ability to be able to transform into anything she wants. The rangue of what she can transform into goes from turning into people, animals (including mythical beasts such as dragons), objects, inanimate elements such as water and some kind of spider-like monster.

    Mightra 

Mightra

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mightra.png

The thirteenth apostle and the Noah of Ability (Mightra). An enigmatic figure covered in a weird outfit that doesn’t let anyone see their appearance. They are tasked with the technology that the Noah Family uses, and is the one behind the creation of the Ark and the spell that can turn humans into Skulls.


  • All There in the Manual: Their role in the series has been incredibly scarce, so most of the info regarding them comes from the fanbook Gray Log.
  • Evil Genius: They are the responsible of the creation behind the Noah technology (including their headquarters, the Noah’s Ark), and are shown to be a skillful magician too, if their spell to create Skulls is of any indication.
  • The Faceless: The extravagant suit they wear covers their body completely, so their true appearance is a total mystery. According to Gray Log, their mask is essential to them.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: The name of their Noah Memory has been shaky, with many translations using either “Maitora” or “Mightra”.
  • Minor Major Character: In spite of their role in the lore of the Noah, they have only appeared so far in the scene where Wisely awakens as a Noah, promptly disappearing from the story after the Earl declares the worldwide attack on the Order. Fanbook Gray Log states Mightra is an individual who works behind the scenes, so they never act directly. Case in point, they were aware of the events from the Noah’s Ark arc, but chose to stay true to their role and not intervene despite the arc taking place in their creation.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: They have only been referred to by the name of their Noah memory by Wisely. Their actual name so far has never been revealed in any media.
  • The Voiceless: They don't utter a single word in their only appearance, adding to their mysterious feeling.

    The 14th: Nea D. Campbell 

Nea D. Campbell

Voiced by: Sanae Kobayashi (JP, 2006 anime), Ayumu Murase (JP, Hallow), Jerry Jewell (ENG)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nea_hallow.png
Click here to see his shadowy form 

The fourteenth apostle, mostly known as The 14th Noah. A man who's shrouded in mystery. He backstabbed his own family 35 years ago, killed almost all of them save for the Millennium Earl and Road, failed with his biggest goal and was forced to flee from the 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 diednote . He's now gradually taking over his host's body and mind.

Presumably he's taking into account the general info and handful of appearances he's had. That, and the fact that Earl is still sore for his killing attempt, as the 14th was his favorite among the Noahs.


  • Ambiguously Evil: Though in the past he killed all of the Noah except for the Earl and Road, he's definitely not an ally of the Order (he hates Innocence as much as the rest of the Noah, in fact), and wishes to kill the current Earl to take his place. His true intentions for this are so far unknown, with only a few hints revealed in the current manga arc.
  • Badass Longcoat: In his appearance inside Allen's inner world, he appears wearing a white(depicted in Hollow as beige) overcoat. His shadow also wears it.
  • BFS: A flashback shows him holding the exact same sword the Earl uses currently.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: He's out for blood against the Earl and he doesn't care about Apocryphos, but he's easily Allen's most personal antagonist.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Makes his first appearance during 59th chapter in Allen's ominous dream making a rather creepy first impression. It can be passed off as nothing, as Allen doesn't seem think about the dream afterwards.
  • Doppelgänger: When he appears in Allen's mind, he looks almost exactly like Tyki Mikk to the point where Allen initially thinks he is Tyki. This was discussed in chapter 183, when Wisely saw Tyki and was surprised that he looked exactly like "that man".
  • Enemy Within: He's one of these to Allen.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being a Misanthrope Supreme and clearly expressing a desire to kill him, Nea's affection towards his "older brother" is undeniable and he is visibly upset about the state he finds him in once he has finally manifested inside Allen. Flashbacks furthermore show him acting as a sort of beacon to Mana and his promise of "killing" him is looking more to be like a Mercy Kill.
  • Evil Laugh: When he laughs during Allen's transformation into a Noah after Kanda stabs Allen with Mugen, even the ground rumbles. As seen in chapter 198.
  • Evil Uncle: Since Mana is Allen's adoptive father and Nea is his brother, this , in a way, makes him Allen's uncle. He is also trying to take over his body at the moment, a process who would erase Allen's whole persona to reincarnate in the present.
  • The Faceless: The first time he actually appears in the series (when Allen enters in the piano room of the Ark), he appears as a shadow with no more features than his coat. We later got a look on his true face twice; we have a brief, vague glimpse of his face when the Earl dreamed of him promising to always stay by his side and looking to be in his teens, and then we get a good look at him in his Noah form, pictured above, later...
  • Flower Motifs: In one of Hoshino's Instagram's posts, she mentioned how poppy flowers represent Nea and his brother.
  • Forgotten Friend, New Foe: Chapter 215 reveals that, according to Nea at least, he and Allen were originally friends and Allen was the one who offered his body as Nea's new host. Judging by how hurt Nea looks after realizing Allen lost his memories, it's pretty safe to assume their friendship was strong and genuine though.
  • Killing Intent: Link notes that Nea radiates this whenever he is in control of Allen's body.
  • Living Memory: Was devoured by the Earl 35 years ago but his memory lived on being transplanted into Allen's.
  • Living Shadow: Zigzagged. He appears to Allen in the Ark as a shadowy figure with no distinct features other than his coat, eyes and grin, but only as a reflection of the room instead of a proper shadow. After the Ark arc, Allen notices that the "shadow" followed him outside the Ark and appears in the mirrors and reflections, though only Allen can see it. Though the shadow is harmless, Allen finds it unnerving.
  • Mysterious Past: Even with recent reveals in the manga, we barely know anything about him and Mana's past from the time they were split apart as the Millennium Earl.
  • Perpetual Smiler: The shadow of Nea always appear smiling, no matter the situation (though in some instances it appears without any mouth at all). It makes it the more creepy.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: He killed almost all of the Noahs 35 years ago, which is definitely no mean feat, and wants to kill and replace the Millennium Earl.
  • Slasher Smile: Almost every time when speaking to the Earl.
  • Spell My Name with a "The": For a long time, he's known simply as the 14th Noah. His true name is revealed to be Nea D. Campbell.
  • Split at Birth: He and Mana actually form the Earl together, they were just two halves of him born separately.
  • Split-Personality Takeover:
    • He pulls one of these in chapter 189, but then his host resists and regains control.
    • Tries this again in chapter 214 and succeeds.
  • The Starscream: His goal consists in killing the Millennium Earl and take his place. He attempted this 35 years ago before the start of the series, but ended being killed by the Earl, not before wiping out the whole Noah Clan except for Road. It seems he still wants to kill the Earl in the present, as he reveals (through Allen's body) to the Earl himself in the North American headquarters of the Black Order.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: Even in human form, he and Mana have gold eyes.
  • The Promise: Made an unknown one to Mana, and plans to fulfill it even now 35 years later. It's implied to be connected to his promise of slaying the Earl.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As the last page of Chapter 213 has recently shown, he used to be a nice kid before he turned evil.

Allies of the Noah

    The Akuma 
Artificial beings created by the Millennium Earl using human souls, and the main weapons the Noahs use against the Exorcists. To see the tropes related to them, go to the Akuma page.

    Lero 

Lero

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō (JP), Monica Rial (EN), Sergio García Marín (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lero.jpg

A specialized golem with the shape of an umbrella and a jack-o-lantern head at the end of the tip that faithfully serves the Millenium Earl. Cowardly and easy to scare, the Earl uses him to transport himself and to summon his sword (though he can summon it without Lero's help).


  • Animate Inanimate Object: Being an umbrella-shaped golem, he's able to move and has his own personality.
  • The Chew Toy: Outside transporting the Earl (or Road when she steals him from the Earl), his main role in the series seems to be being abused by nearly everyone and getting zero respect, all for the amusement of the audience. It tells you something when the ones who mistreat him the most are his own Noah allies.
  • Demoted to Extra: Though he initially had some presence in the earlier arcs, serving as a comic relief, he stopped appearing after the Noah's Ark incident, and his following appearances have been short and he hasn't speak at all.
  • Dirty Coward: In spite of his smug behaviour towards the Exorcists in the Noah's Ark, as soon as Road (the only remaining Noah fighting) is defeated and the Ark is close to being destroyed for good, he starts to cry and beg for the Earl to appear and save him and the exorcised Tyki.
  • Flight: His main ability is the one to float in the air, while also being resilient enough to carry people like the Earl or Road. This makes him a pretty good transport when the occasion needs it.
  • Golem: He's one In-Universe, but, following the depiction of golems in D. Gray Man, he's actually a magical device instead of an Artificial Human made from clay, though he still follows the "being created by magic" part, as he was (presumably) created by the Earl.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: His name has been romanized as Rero or Relo in some fansubs and scans. It doesn't helps both the "l" and "r" sounds don't exists in the Japanese language.
  • Living Weapon: Possibly zigzagged, if not subverted. He is initially used in Edo by the Earl to summon his sword in his fight against Allen, but when the Earl appears in the Noah's Ark to rescue Tyki, he has his sword with him without needing Lero's help. Moreover, considering Lero hasn't shown any offensive ability (not even when the Exorcists were beating him in the Ark), is probably that Lero is not really a weapon, but simply a catalyst that the Earl uses when he needs his sword, and his main function is to transport his master.
  • Only Sane Man: Surprisingly, even though he isn't free from quirks himself, he is this for the Noahs. While most of them tend to be erratic and take things lightly, Lero is quick to call them out of their antics, like when he reminded Jasdevi that they have a mission to follow when they were playing with Allen and his friends. And, suffice to say, he was absolutely horrified when Road kiss Allen (their enemy) as soon as she finds him in the Ark.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Despite being generally harmless and being the butt of the jokes more often than not, his only successful evil act was kidnapping a weakened Lenalee (along with Allen, Lavi, Krory, Kanda and Chaozii, who rushed to her rescue) into the Noah's Ark, leaving her and her friends at the mercy of the Noahs who were in the Ark.
  • Parasol of Pain: A literal example, as he is a magical, living umbrella. A subverted example too, as he is only a threat when the Earl uses him, otherwise he is a complete weakling, unable to even kill a normal human like Chaozii (before he obtained Innocence at least).
  • Smug Snake: He despises Exorcists as much as the Noah Family does, and doesn't waste his chance to taunt and mock them while trapped in the Noah's Ark. Unfortunately for him, he is way less impressive than his stronger and more competent allies, ending abused by the Exorcists for his troubles.
  • Stingy Jack: He is a golem with the form of an umbrella and a jack-o-lantern head. However, unlike the legend, he is completely harmless most of the time.
  • Verbal Tic Name: Always ends his sentences with "-lero", hence his name.

    Brokers 

In general

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broker_phones.PNG
Phones the Earl uses to communicate with his brokers.
Humans willingly working for the Millennium Earl in exchange for money, providing him with useful information either in the search of Innocence or human material to create new Akuma.
  • Greed: Brokers are mainly working with the Earl for the prospect of being paid in big quantities, not caring if they are hurting innocents. The Earl is apparently rich enough to pay all of them without going brankrupt, and he even says that losing a Broker doesn't means much because there are a lot of people coveting such position.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: In a world filled with murderous machines of carnage and sadistic superhumans who want to destroy the world, Brokers come as incredibly despicable people who sell their own kind for profit. Link outright says to the Broker nun from Timothy's orphanage that people who sell themselves to the Earl deserve no mercy.
  • Newhart Phonecall: In the conversations they have with the Earl, we only see him answering the calls and talking, while none of the Brokers are heard.

    Cell Roron 

Cell Roron

Voiced by: Mitsuaki Madono (JP), Chad Ford (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cell_roron.png
Known as "The Prisoner of the List Cage" Cell Roron is a small strange creature imprisoned in a playing card that serves Tyki Mikk. His job is to keep track of the people on the Earl's kill list and identify them so that Tyki can dispose of them.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's a tiny little man trapped inside a playing card who never smiles and is often seen crying.
  • The Eeyore: He's constantly miserable and easily driven to tears when he can't wash Allen's name off his wall.
  • Meaningful Name: Cell's a pretty fitting name for someone who's a prisoner.
  • Perpetual Frowner: He's never seen without a huge frown on his face. Being trapped inside a playing card and forced to serve the Noah may have something to do with it.
  • Psychic Powers: He can identify people listed on the walls of his prison by sight and knows when they have become deceased.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: He never directly hurts anyone and is implied to only be helping Tyki because he's being held prisoner. The only bad thing he does is identify Allen to Tyki as one of the people on his list.

    Teez 

Teez

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teez.png
The Teez are flesh-eating golems gifted to Tyki by the Earl that take the form of black butterflies. They can nest inside human beings and multiply by consuming their flesh, making them a dangerous threat even towards exorcists.
  • Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: They first show up near the end of volume 6 and are used by Tyki to murder Suman and then Allen after destroying his innocence. (Death.) This results in Allen narrowly surviving the ordeal and growing stronger as a result, culminating in him managing to restore and invoke his innocence on a higher level than before. (Rebirth.)
  • Golem: Despite looking like butterflies the Teez are actually artificial magical golems made by the Earl.
  • Playing Card Motifs: It's a bit subtle compared to most examples but their wings are designed with the four playing card suits. (Diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts.)

    Skulls 

Skulls

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skulls_3.png
The skulls are humanoid servants of the Millennium Earl that have chubby proportions and skull-like faces. Their main role is to serve as support for the Noah's forces through the use of powerful magic, though they also do more mundane jobs like cleaning and mending the Earl's clothing.
  • Immune to Bullets: It's noted in their profile that they resist bullets. During the invasion of the Black Order HQ a Skull is shot in the head by Reever at near pointblank range and responds with a slightly annoyed grunt of pain. That same arc showed that they are vulnerable to exorcist weapons and akuma attacks though.
  • Long-Lived: According to their official profile they can live for about 200 years on average.
  • Meaningful Name: Their name comes from the skull-like appearance of their faces.
  • Skull for a Head: The name kinda gives it away, but yeah, these guys look like robed humans with skull-like faces.
  • Was Once a Man: They can create more of themselves through dark magic once they find someone with a suitable brain. After a short incantation their victim is wrapped in a black silk cocoon that completely covers their entire body. Seconds after the spell is complete a new Skull then emerges, completely unaware of who it once was.

    Third Exorcists 
The surviving Third Exorcists (Madarao, Tokusa and Tewaku), who switched to the side of the Earl after the Alma Karma incident. To see the tropes related to them, go to the Black Order page.
