Noctis

His Aspect has to do with souls; he inherited a few things and a lot of knowledge from Aidre. He can remove, destroy or keep the memory of someone to himself.^[15]

The deal between Weaver, the Demon of Fate, and Noctis was formed when Noctis asked for Weaver's help in slaughtering the Chain Lords, breaking the shackles forged by the Sun God, unleashing Hope upon the world, defying the will of the gods, and ultimately helping him die, offering his heart and any price in return. Weaver agreed to help him break the chains of Hope and defy the gods, but rejected death as payment, declaring that death would not absolve a debt owed to the Demon of Fate. Instead, Weaver demanded his life rather than his death, cursing him to live, to hope, and to serve Weaver, along with "the one in the north". To seal the bargain, Weaver seized a String of Fate from the great tapestry, altered it by force of Weaver's Will, and embedded it into Noctis, piercing his chest and binding him to a new fate as a new heart beat within him. By doing so, she made the will of the Sun God irrelevant, declared that only Weaver's will now mattered, stripped Noctis of his belonging to the gods, and claimed him as Weaver's own, commanding that he call only the name of Weaver.^[23]

Noctis' fate was revealed through the thread of his fate, which Shadow briefly examined. In the life he saw, Noctis was a young, brash Transcendent champion who wanted to reshape the world into a more beautiful form. Although he hid his keen perception and compassion behind a mask of carefree shallowness, witnessing the suffering, fear, and bitter plight of the weak deeply affected him. Despite the darkness of the world, he continued to believe in brighter things and held on to hope. One day, a shining god asked him to become “a chain that bound hope,” and he agreed. What followed was madness that lasted far longer than any mortal was supposed to live. As he carried out his maddening duty, human lives in distant realms improved, ushering in a golden age in which Corruption no longer tormented humans.^[24]

Afraid of what would happen if he broke the chains of hope, Noctis eventually decided to act and made a deal with a daemon. His original fate was discarded and replaced by another, stolen fate that could allow him to die but also demanded that he live a little bit longer. He became the High Priest of the Nightmare Spell, a heretic pursued by everyone who worshipped the great gods. Through talent and tenacity, he spread the Nightmare Spell across existence, eventually becoming Supreme just before the Doom War began. As the war consumed countless lives and spread destruction across every realm, spreading the faith in the Nightmare Spell became easier. Eventually, the world itself came to an end, and myriad people, the gods, and even the daemons perished. Despite losing his immortality, his spirit sustaining dreadful wounds, his Domain being annihilated, and his followers scattering or perishing, Noctis remained alive.^[24]

With little left to do, Noctis set out on one last journey to bring the Nightmare Spell to the few people who had yet to perish on the ruins of the destroyed world. He eventually reached a land consumed by eternal darkness, where he helped humans fight the terrifying creatures dwelling there and offered those willing the chance to become carriers of the Nightmare Spell. However, the very people he had tried to save eventually betrayed him. Taking advantage of his weakened state, they imprisoned him in a small cell beneath a magnificent cathedral, bound him with powerful sorcery, and shut the door because they did not trust him as a heretic. While imprisoned, Noctis felt seeds of Corruption blooming in his soul and realized that he would eventually succumb to it. Refusing to let his soul become impenetrably dark, he traced his final farewell in the dust: "Hail Weaver, Demon of Fate, Fistborn of the Forgotten God!" He then remembered his life, the battles he had fought, the friends he had made and lost, and the pleasures and beauty he had experienced. Satisfied that his life had been everything he had hoped for, Noctis said farewell, shattered his spirit, and extinguished his soul.^[24]

• According to the rune description of Covetous Coffer, Noctis had several treasure chests in possession, including Mordant Mimic.^[25]
• Noctis had been speculated as the captain of the ancient ship, the master of the Mimic, and the person whose face was depicted on the miraculous coins.^[26][3][12] He was also probably the one who had created the coins, in the first place. That's why they could only be used in his Sanctuary.^[26] This had been proved correct inside the second nightmare.^[27]
• He was a self-proclaimed genius. He paid storytellers to spread rumors that no one smarter than him in the Kingdom of Hope.^[4]
• He seemed to perform divination and prepared to do something drastic prior to Sunny's meeting with him.^[8]
• He was served by mannequins that bore a close resemblance but far less feral, ancient, and corrupted version of a Sailor Doll.^[8]
• He confirmed that he was one of Hope's shackles and so was his friend who is also a shadow, just like Sunny.^[28]
• In one of the countless nightmares Sunny faced, there's a vague memory where he had been turned into an obedient wooden doll by Noctis.^[12]
• He doesn't wear black because according to him it doesn't suit him.^[27]
• He was the self-proclaimed best player in all of the Kingdom of Hope. He won the ship and the obsidian knife from the One in the North by playing cards.^[27]
• He gave Sunny an emerald trinket, a very rare and precious magical amulet. It can project someone's thoughts outward and vocalize them, turning thought into sound.^[29]
• He revealed that he wants to gather the knives, start a war against both the Ivory City and the Red Colosseum, kill all of the Chain Lords, defy the Lord of Light, break the will of gods, and release the Demon of Desire out of her prison.^[30]
• He takes breakfast very seriously.^[17]
• He built his home inside the ring of menhirs itself, coincidentally, the residence was situated in the same place where the White Feather Clan had established their stronghold in the future.^[17]
• He was amazed by the armor of Saint and how its fit and design were forged.^[31]
• He can't recreate Welthe's amulet because the sorcery used to enchant it is not something he has ever seen before. It was made for a reason that eludes him and by someone far more powerful than he is.^[32]
• Of all the seven of the Chain Lords, only Sevras and Noctis belong to divine bloodlines, god lineage.^[33]
• He spent several centuries infusing his shrine with moonlight.^[16]
• He befriended Sunless because the latter holds his death.^[34]
• Before, he left for good he told Sunny to never trust the gods.^[1]
• In Chapter 2728-2730, Noctis was seen again in one of the fragmented memories of Cassie. (Refer to Cassie's Fragmented Memories)
• Noctis' grandmother was the Goddess of the Moon, also known as Beast God, who inhabited a Divine avatar. Although she was a terrifying and unfathomable deity, she was childish when visiting Noctis during his childhood at the temple, appearing only once every few years. Noctis remembered those rare visits fondly, and he would eventually outlive his grandmother.^[35]
