## Appearance

### **Physical**

He has blonde messy hair and blue eyes, with a bandage over his nose. Instead of his burn scar, there are black tire tracks over one side of his face.

### **Outfit**

In this costume, Norton wears a white shirt underneath a brown leather jacket. There is a patch on the chest and a star symbol on the shoulder of the jacket, and partially-stitched tear on the left front side. His pants are blue jeans with patch pockets and padded knees. He has black leather gloves reinforced with metal plates, and steel-toed leather boots. A key and a glowing light hang from his belt.

He wears a protective helmet that is mostly white with a blue and red brim. There is a metal shade on the backside covering his neck, and a chin guard on the strap keeping it on. On the front of the helmet is a propeller entwined with purple tentacles.

A rocket-like piece of equipment with sparks flying off it is worn on his back. He can be seen removing it in the showroom animation, and attaching it to the side of his car to accelerate its speed.

### **Item**

His magnets are industrial looking bronze discs, with a patch of red paint on one side, and a compass on the other.

### **Special Effects**

Sparks and flames fly out of the end of the car part he carries on his back.

## Trivia

* The racecar he uses during the Call of the Abyss IV trailer appears in his showroom.
	+ It resembles a 1930's Austin 7, and the license plate itself reads "AUSTIN7"
* He's based off of the Spanish epic hero "Don Quixote".
	+ Both Don Quixote and Highway Cavalier believe themselves to be the only "true" knights/racers of their time, despite it not being accurate to reality.
	+ Highway Cavalier calls his Austin 7 "Rocinante" in the COA IV trailer, a reference to Don Quixote's horse in the novels, Rocinante.
* Cavalier can be used to describe someone who is dismissive and uncaring, implying his character at the beginning of COA IV acted as such before befriending the other racers.
