He tells her he is from years in the future and offers to take her to Lightning. The next day, Noel and Serah enter the Time Gate after finding an artefact to activate it, and fly through the Historia Crux. They emerge at Bresha Ruins in 5 AF and are attacked by an invisible giant, Atlas , who retreats further into the ruins. Noel and Serah are taken into custody, but are freed by Academy scientist Alyssa Zaidelle who wants to learn about the gates and paradoxes, but as long as Atlas is around causing trouble, the ruins will be closed off.
Noel and Serah resolve the paradox affecting the area by destroying Atlas and the Bresha Ruins are restored to their former glory. After finding an artefact and activating another gate, Serah has a vision and lies to Noel saying it's nothing, although he doesn't believe her. The area is darkened by a paradoxical solar eclipse and they meet the Academy leader, a year-old Hope Estheim , who has full knowledge of Noel due to the events at Bresha Ruins five years ago.
Hope and Alyssa, who is now Hope's assistant, talk about the Farseers who used to live in the Paddra ruins and a seeress Yeul who had foretold the nation's destruction.
Noel is amazed there were once so many Farseers they had populated a city. Noel uses one of Hope's tools, an ancient device called the Oracle Drive to induce images of Lightning and the events of the Day of Ragnarok ten years ago. The device displays grainy images of Lightning's battle with Caius in Valhalla. Noel and Serah use the artefact given to them by Hope to resolve the paradox affecting the area, and, in turn, the Oracle Drive.
Caius explains Yeul does not exist as a single person, and that he has come to punish Serah and Noel for tampering with the timeline.
Before Caius can kill Noel, Yeul steps in, saying time has already been changed, and she and Caius leave. Returning to the Yaschas Massif in 1X AF, Serah and Noel enter an alternate reality where the eclipse never occurred and see the now clear images of Lightning in Valhalla, and the Oracle Drive projects images of Caius and Cocoon falling.
Noel says in his time the world fell into ruin after Cocoon's fall, but Serah assures they can prevent it. As Serah begins to doubt them ever finding her sister, Noel reassures they are one step closer to Lightning with each gate they pass through. After activating the gate in the Bresha Ruins' underground tunnels, Noel gets concerned for Serah and asks if she is having more visions, but she lies to him again.
At the Sunleth Waterscape in AF, they witness Miniflan appear out of nowhere in a phenomenon caused by a paradox. Serah has a vision and runs off frantic. Noel tells Snow he will handle things, but Snow shoves him aside and the three defeat the monster together.
The Miniflan reform the monster and the party retreats at Noel's insistence. Noel criticizes Snow, telling him people who do not know when to retreat don't live long, but ultimately decides to put their differences aside and work with him. After finding an artefact to open the gate to the next location, Noel tells Snow to wait for him and Serah to return. In the Coliseum , Noel, Serah, and Mog encounter the Arbiter of Time , who demands they leave and gives them a fragment in return.
Noel says Snow is the type of person who likes to charge into danger thinking self-sacrifice will save everyone, but only gets innocent people killed. AF and resolve the anomaly causing Royal Ripeness to continue growing, they return to the Sunleth Waterscape and find Snow not waiting for them as he had promised, but on the ropes in front of the flan that has reduced in size.
After defeating the giant flan for good, Noel accuses Snow of being self-centered and never thinking about how he hurts the people he is supposed to protect. Snow tells Noel he must have protected loved ones back in his own time, but Noel says he couldn't protect them all which is why he is now alone.
Snow entrusts Serah's safety to Noel and vanishes. Noel speculates it is because Snow does not belong in this time and the paradox had been resolved. Noel believes the Farseer tribes had a girl with the same appearance and power and the name Yeul was passed down through the generations.
When Serah asks how his era will change if they solve the paradoxes, Noel believes it will be a future where he does not exist, but is fine with it since it would be better if his time had never happened. The trio arrives at the city of Academia in AF where people are mysteriously transformed into Cie'th. Caius appears and calls the trio contradictions in the timeline.
He claims Serah and Noel were killed after learning the forbidden history sealed within a tower two hundred years ago and have now appeared before him alive and well, a paradox in itself.
They find Yeul being attacked by Cie'th and Noel holds the dying Yeul in his arms who tells them Caius wasn't in the city. They use the artefact given by Yeul to travel years into the past to the Augusta Tower , where Noel and Serah learn Hope had created a Proto fal'Cie to keep Cocoon airborne without its pillar.
Noel confesses he sensed something off about Caius in Academia, and thinks he wasn't the real Caius. Noel, Serah, and Mog meet an artificial duplicate of Alyssa who tells them of an incident that occurred in the tower years ago at 13 AF: Hope and the real Alyssa were killed as they were in the way of the Proto fal'Cie's A.
On the tower's top level, they encounter the Yeul they had met in Oerba who gives them an artefact and implores them to protect time. She reveals Caius is immortal and retains memory of all timeline events.
She says Lightning disappeared because the future had been changed, and if Serah and Noel solve the paradoxes, the past will return to how Serah remembers it.
Yeul tells them the Caius from Academia was a copy made by the Proto fal'Cie Adam, the source of the paradox, and the real Caius is in the tower, then implores they show her a new future. Noel, Mog, and Serah battle Adam, who keeps returning whenever defeated until Serah erases it from existence by scolding Hope out loud for creating it. Serah has another vision and blacks out, but Noel brings her back. They meet up with Hope and Alyssa, who explain Hope scrapped the Proto fal'Cie project after seeing Serah yelling at him through the Oracle Drive, and he and Alyssa went into the future in a time capsule he invented.
They plan to build a man-made Cocoon made airborne through the use of five Graviton Cores. After finding the cores, Noel and Serah get an artefact from Alyssa. Noel, Serah, and Mog enter the Historia Crux, but Noel becomes separated from Serah and Mog as a result of Alyssa betraying them, having given them a booby-trapped artefact from Caius. He emerges in the Void Beyond and engages Caius, but is defeated and disappears into a dream world based on his home world, reliving the highlights of his past without acknowledging Serah watching and following him.
When Noel is being pulled off the ground toward a light in the sky, Serah grabs hold of his arm and calls out to him and he remembers her. She tells him he was living in a dream and light is restored to the Dying World. Noel tells Serah he has regained some of his memories and that she is at risk of dying since she has the Eyes of Etro like Yeul, but Serah chooses to continue since it's what Lightning wants.
Activating the Oracle Drive at the Farseers' Relic, the two discover that Yeul's final vision was a grainy image of reuniting with Noel. Noel vows to settle things with Caius once learning he is the one causing the paradoxes.
They emerge in what appears to be New Bodhum in AF. The village is a wasteland, and on the beach Lightning appears from a portal saying they are in a future she could not save.
Lightning says Caius plans to kill Etro while she sleeps in Valhalla and unleash chaos into the world through an unseen doorway that opens for the souls of the departed to create a timeless world. Lightning says that in AF, Caius will attempt to bring down the old Cocoon and Hope's new one in one fell swoop. Mog reveals the final Time Gate and Lightning returns to Valhalla. Noel, Mog, and Serah travel to Academia in AF, the time of the prophecy of Cocoon's fall, and hear Yeul's voice telling them not to fight Caius and risk killing Etro.
Caius enters Academia from Valhalla to battle them and a wormhole opens in the sky. Caius in his Chaos Bahamut form flies into it. Noel, Mog, and Serah jump into the wormhole and emerge in Valhalla. Odin saves them from their fall before they face off against Caius on the beach. Noel tries to convince him Yeul wanted to be reborn so she could be with him, but Caius does not listen and Noel cuts him down.
Caius transforms into Jet Bahamut and Noel covers Serah from its blast. As they fall into the bottomless abyss beneath Valhalla's waves of chaos, they are saved by Lightning. Caius claims to have killed Lightning, but Noel knows he is lying. Noel disarms Caius when he threatens Serah, but stops himself from impaling him at the last second.
Caius forces Noel's blade through his chest, telling him to bear the burden of the eternal paradox. Noel laments how Caius had been consumed by sorrow and despair due to watching so many Yeuls die over the centuries, and how he sought to die in Valhalla. Noel places Caius's sword as a grave marker, hoping his former mentor finds peace. After the gate to Valhalla closes, Serah thanks Noel, but has another vision and dies in his arms.
Noel remembers Caius's words about the Heart of Chaos, Etro's own heart that had been given to Caius eons ago, realizing he played into Caius's scheme and killed the goddess as Gran Pulse and Bhunivelze are infected by chaos.
Five hundred years ago, I committed the ultimate sin. One more death on my conscience won't do anything to me. Aiding Snow in hunting monsters, Noel felt helping people would allow him to atone for his mistakes, but Snow never blaming him for Serah's death became too much for Noel to bear, and after Hope disappeared, Noel lost contact with Snow.
When the Order of Salvation —followers of the God of Light Bhunivelze who has promised to create his followers a new world—arose as the new authority in Nova Chrysalia, Noel was suspicious of them. He sneaked into the Luxerion Cathedral to warn them, gaining the title of Shadow Hunter. Learning Snow had accepted the title of "Patron" from the Order angered Noel, and he refused to consider Snow's side of the story.
When the rumors of the savior began to spread, a mysterious girl called Lumina appeared along with an Oracle Drive containing a fake prophecy of Noel killing Lightning and being reunited with Yeul in a new world.
Noel had become consumed by guilt, feeling responsible for the world's current state and Serah's death. He became a vigilante in Luxerion and developed a reputation as a deadly swordsman and an enemy of the Order, gaining a following in the Children of Etro , a cult that worships the late goddess. Noel witnesses Lightning's arrival in Luxerion and stalks her as she investigates the murders of pink-haired women in the city being committed by a group of fanatical followers of Etro, collectively known as the Children of Etro.
When Lightning finds an Oracle Drive, Noel ambushes and briefly clashes with her while Lumina watches with amusement. Noel explains the prophecy says Lightning needs to die by his hand, but runs off as it is not yet time for him to kill her. When Lightning saves the newest victim of the Children of Etro, Noel aids her in dispatching the cultists and tells them he has no affiliation with "fanatics with blood on their hands.
Lightning finds him by another Oracle Drive, viewing the prophecy and reaffirming his belief that he must kill her. Lightning comes to understand Noel is obsessed with the prophecy for the hope of meeting Yeul again.
Provoked by Lightning, and believing that one final death on his conscience means nothing, Noel attacks her. However, when he gets an opening to strike at Lightning, he destroys the Oracle Drive instead, knowing that killing Lightning is not what Yeul would want. He realizes that while Yeul never gave up hope, he himself gave into his guilt, letting it dictate his decisions.
Yeul's spirit appears from the damaged Oracle Drive to tell him they'll be reunited soon, giving Noel closure as Lightning saves his soul. Noel asks if Bhunivelze's new world will be a paradise, but Lightning says it will be a world where people will simply live and work together. Noel decides to stop living in the shadows, and departs on good terms, Lightning having understood his motives. Later, she can spot him around Luxerion helping out the citizens. On the evening of Nova Chrysalia's final day Noel arrives at the Luxerion Cathedral and saves Lightning from a Chimera , curious as to why she is fighting the Order.
Noel concludes there could be only one reason she would turn against Bhunivelze: to save Serah. Noel fights alongside her and stays behind to hold off Bhunivelze's devouts and monsters while Lightning rushes to stop the Soulsong , a ritual that would obliterate the dead, including Serah's soul. Lightning succeeds, but Noel and the others are captured by Bhunivelze with their souls sealed in his body. Lightning travels to Cosmogenesis to face Bhunivelze and frees Noel and the other souls and they work together to defeat Bhunivelze.
After Bhunivelze's defeat, he finds Yeul and her past lives who have agreed to remain in the forming unseen realm to fill the late Etro's position in maintaining the cycle of reincarnation and thus the stability of the new world. Noel protests to their choice, and Caius, still alive due to having become a manifestation of Chaos itself, asks if he would rather take Etro's place than let Yeul be bound to another fate. When Noel is willing to take the burden, Caius tosses him away from the forming black hole as Nova Chrysalia collapses, alongside Yeul's final incarnation from Noel's time, ultimately fulfilling the promise she had made to him as they depart for the new world together.
In the new world, the reborn Noel and Yeul move to the subtropics where they live in a two-story wooden house near a busy marketplace, as after an age of loneliness they find the sight of people comforting. They are visited by Aoede , a reporter who investigates stories of people having memories of another world, and Noel relates his story from the old world's alternate timeline in AF to being the Shadow Hunter in Luxerion.
Noel admits his time of dwelling in regret over Serah's death in Nova Chrysalia gave him an understanding in Caius's motivation to destroy the world. After the interview the three have lunch at the market and Noel gently watches over Yeul as she dances in reverie of all the sights.
Before Aoede leaves Noel directs her to Fang and Vanille. Outside his original appearance, he mainly wields the ice element. Noel is geared toward high Strength and HP, as opposed to Serah's better proficiency in magic.
The design of his sword, now called "Shadow Hunter", has changed: it retains the same stylized flames and consists of two blades that can combine into a lance, but the color scheme is black with gray patterns across the blades and hilts.
He is a self-sufficient hunter and a fighter. Due to the effects of a time paradox, Noel suffers from amnesia. Coming from a future where humanity is almost extinct, he has some trouble with his speech, so he tends to speak in a straightforward manner.
He is excited to explore new places and meet new people, and is defined by his determination to protect others, evident by how he is protective towards Serah despite hardly knowing her. He asserts himself to others, and remains calm and collected when facing people with provoked anger, such as the members of NORA. Noel stands by his beliefs and morals, and as a remnant from his upbringing, values life and is reluctant to hurt or kill others unless necessary.
This initially makes him dislike Snow Villiers for his brash personality, and having his head in the clouds believing in self-sacrifice. He no longer feels anyone's death adds to his already-burdened conscience, though his attitude of killing only when necessary remains in his work as a vigilante.
Noel is more serious, determined, and aggressive than he was years before, though he partially returns to his old self after Lightning helps him let go of his guilt. Heroes Wiki. Heroes Wiki Explore.
