Description
Nox serves as personal security for Count Parks Orlok alongside her brother Manet. Tasked by the Vampire Queen to monitor Parisian vampiric activities, she operates primarily in the human world instead of the vampire realm Altus. Her duties encompass protecting Count Orlok and acting as his designated observer during field operations; she refers to herself as "Count Orlok's eyes" when witnessing events such as the curing of the curse-bearer Thomas Berneux.
Physically imposing with a severe gaze, heavily lashed eyes, and silky dark hair, Nox typically wears a long black dress featuring ruffles and bows, reminiscent of a maid's uniform.
Her personality reflects her security role: wary of intruders and distrustful of strangers. Rudeness or arrogance easily irritates her, exemplified by her reaction to Vanitas entering Orlok's chambers uninvited. She exhibits impatience and frustration with those outside her trusted circle, displaying open dislike for Vanitas due to his human nature and perceived disrespect, though she tolerates him for his ability to cure curse-bearers. Nox harbors strong prejudice against dhampirs, disliking their presence intensely. A notable exception to her severity is her passionate adoration for the cat Murr. She visits Hotel Chouchou specifically to see him, and her desire to spend time with Murr can override her dislike of Vanitas, prompting extended interactions for the cat's benefit.
Nox shares a close working relationship with her brother Manet, forming an efficient security unit. While generally aligned, Nox tends toward greater aggression and protectiveness, often overseeing Manet more than he does her. Beyond her duties for Orlok, she maintains functional working relationships, such as assigning errands to Noé Archiviste.
Documented activities include confronting Vanitas after his unannounced entry into Orlok's office at Galerie Valentine, asserting that ill-mannered intruders warrant harsh treatment. Later, she and Manet secretly observe Vanitas curing Thomas Berneux, reporting the events to Orlok before pursuing the awakened Thomas. They discover Thomas deceased, leading to speculation about responsibility.
As a vampire, Nox possesses enhanced strength, speed, and endurance. Her primary combat ability involves extending her nails into weaponized claws for attack or defense.
Her name originates from a phrase in Roman poet Horace's Odes: "omnes una manet nox," meaning "the same night awaits us all." This naming convention is shared with her brother Manet, reflecting a thematic connection to mortality.
