Noé Archiviste, a vampire and sole survivor of the Archiviste clan, can extract memories through blood consumption. Born beneath the Crimson Moon, he was orphaned by his clan’s eradication and raised by elderly human caretakers in Averoigne, France. Their deaths left him prey to vampire traffickers, who sold him to the enigmatic Teacher. Under this mentor, he bonded with the Teacher’s grandchildren, Louis and Dominique de Sade. A childhood trauma—Louis’s corruption by a corrupted True Name during a botched rescue—etched lasting guilt into Noé, fueling his resolve to prevent such tragedies. Tall and dark-skinned, Noé’s striking features include white hair and violet eyes that shift crimson. His wardrobe—black shirt, white pants, gloves, and trench coat—reflects others’ choices, not his own indifference to style. Childhood injuries left his face bandaged, and he once wore eclectic outfits, including girls’ clothing. Kind-hearted and idealistic, Noé navigates the world with emotional transparency and childlike curiosity, though his distractibility and naivety occasionally undermine him. Shaped by his adoptive grandparents and the Teacher, he rejects dishonorable acts, yet this moral rigidity sometimes paralyzes his decisions. Lingering loneliness and fear of abandonment haunt him, compounded by self-doubt over his Archiviste powers, which have alienated peers. Dispatched by the Teacher to investigate the Book of Vanitas, Noé meets Vanitas in Paris—a human professing to cure cursed vampires. Though repelled by Vanitas’s ruthlessness, Noé allies with him, intrigued by the Book’s promise. Their partnership oscillates between friction and fragile trust, with Noé clinging to the hope of unraveling Vanitas’s motives and averting further loss. In combat, Noé leverages vampiric strength and brawling skill but falters with advanced World Formula manipulation. His memory-reading ability unveils others’ pasts, though psychological turmoil can disrupt it. This power intertwines with his guilt over Louis’s death, as he revisits unresolved memories. Relationships anchor Noé’s journey. His bond with Dominique de Sade teems with mutual guardianship, complicated by her unrequited affections and fears for his vulnerability. Louis’s fate drives Noé’s crusade to save curse-bearers, mirroring his past failure. With Vanitas, clashes and camaraderie coexist, Noé growing increasingly perceptive of his partner’s hidden struggles. Chronicling events as memoirs, Noé’s narration foreshadows Vanitas’s destined death at his hands. This framing underscores his turmoil as he wrestles with morality, salvation, and the cost of connection, each choice heavy with the ghosts of those he could not protect.
