Noah

Noah (, Noah) is one of the main protagonists of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is a soldier from Keves and an off-seer.

Appearance and personality
Noah is a young man with long black hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes. His main appearance comprises a red jacket with a short sleeved turtleneck underneath, black pants with straps, and black boots. As an off-seer, Noah wore an all black dress uniform. Whenever he draws Lucky Seven from the Veiled Sword, his left arm is covered in a glowing armored gauntlet that compromised of the sword's sheath. His term mark is located on his right hand.

Noah is an off-seer — he often mourns for soldiers who have fallen in battle. He hates fighting and taking lives from others. He plays a black flute with golden decorations which used to belong to Crys. His experience with the deaths of many friends through war has led him to question why there must be fighting between the two warring sides.

Prologue
A young Noah and his friends, Eunie, Lanz and Joran are seen dashing through a crowd for the Queen's anniversary in. When the clock strikes six, time stops except for Noah. He then looks around in confusion before noticing a planet on a collision course with his world.

Main Story
Noah, Eunie, Lanz, Mwamba and Riku took part in the battle against Colony Sigma in which they are victorious. Noah is the only participating soldier not celebrating the victory, instead expressing unhappiness for the needless bloodshed.

In a flashback at the beginning of his second term, Noah, Eunie, Lanz and Joran battle Garvel and his gang in a training exercise. The fight goes bad with Lanz being pushed to his limits until Joran used his rod to heal Lanz, giving him the strength he needs to fend them off. But not without Joran being defeated by Garvel.

After the battle, an angry Lanz attempts to punch Joran for his recklessness only for Noah to stop him, followed by Eunie who claims that Joran did the right thing by saving him. Joran then claims that he let Noah down on his birthday. Noah and his friends then participates in a Homecoming (with their Queen even personally taking part).

Back in the present Noah is seen sending off several husks (even Agnian ones as their off-seers were killed in the battle) before all the transports take off without the party, much to the their dismay, forcing the party to make the long trek back to on foot. When they finally arrive, the party then head to the bathing tent. While in the tent, it is revealed through a conversation between the party that Joran was killed a couple years ago, and that his death is the reason why he became an off-seer in the first place.

The next day a royal decree was issued by the Castle. Colony 9's mission from its commander is to destroy a large ether source of unknown origin in the Alfeto Valley. Agnian forces are noted to also be targeting the ether source, alongside a potential third party. With these orders, the main group (accompanied by Mwamba and Riku as before) make their way into the valley.

On their way, the party came under attack by a Drifter Ropl which they swiftly defeat. Mwamba then decides to leave the group. The party then rests up at Forward Post Camp before the mission starts. During the mission, Noah realizes something's off, such as his Flame Clock filling up more from a fallen Agnian than usual.

When they reach the target area in, they came under attack by unidentified automatons which they destroy. As they get closer to the objective, the party notices a lone man defending the Ouroboros Stone (which was the soure of the ether). But when the party approaches the stone, they came under attack by Mio, Taion and Sena. During his scuffle with Mio, he notices her move is reminiscent of the Agnian Off-seeing tune. Through memorizing the notes, he manages to land a hit on Mio, before noticing the fighting has stopped. Despite this, Mio continued attacking Noah despite his plea to stop. It wasn't until the man, Guernica Vandham intervened and stopped them from killing each other.

In his past lives, Noah usually wore a camo green jacket, a lime green undershirt, black pants and black miltary boots. Noah uses the same sword N uses in the present

Noah continuously reincarnated throughout history. Unfortunately each of his incarnation ends in death which cultivates into one of his incarnations to become Moebius.

As a party member
Noah is a Swordfighter, with a combat style focused on melee attacks.
