Captain Nopopon

Captain Nopopon was a legendary Nopon pirate in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, who sailed around the Cloud Sea in Alrest's ancient times. Afterward, he founded a trade guild that would later become the Nopon Trade Guild. He wore an eyepatch over his left eye and a pirate hat.

Lore
As a pirate, Captain Nopopon sailed the Cloud Sea, fighting for the treasure and riches that could be found there. After growing weary of the fighting, and remarking that the Non-Nopon did not take the Nopon seriously, instead seeing them as charming and harmless, he decided to use this to his advantage. Instead of speaking in what is now ancient Nopon, in a grammatically correct and educated way, he decided to speak in grammatically imprecise sentences and fluff his fur to make himself sound and look cuter, creating the modern Nopon language in the process. He used this change to his advantage diplomatically and laid the foundations for the first Nopon Trade Guild.

At some point later, what is said to be one of his descendant founded the Argentum Trade Guild. A statue of Captain Nopopon was put at the Noponya Shrine with coordinates to an ancient Nopon base of activities, where Garfont Village now stands, where his logbook was hidden.
