> Rejoice, and worship the flame that incinerates the light! Praise the king of Nera, who's devoured the fire to ignite! I will wait for that to come in Hell, my King. When your Darkness stretches over the entire world!

> Nugal's final words

**Nugal** was a Villain and a former member of the Nameless. He was once a core member in Engen's groups of followers during the War of Inheritance and later sided with Engen and the other Villains during the Great War over a century ago. After their defeat he retired and started a family after having his son Bagna. Nugal would kill himself after meeting with Engen for one last time.

## Appearance

Nugal, in his younger days, was a tall brown skinned man with black eyes and hair styled in a short crew cut along with big mutton chops and chain hair pointed towards his mouth. He was muscular with thick arms that sported equally large arm hair. For clothing, he wore a military looking uniform with a green short sleeved shirt, large brown pants, boots, and a pocketed vase. But in the modern era, he would look completely different as he was skinny and emaciated looking. He wore shorts and was shirtless, but the most glaring change was his head taking on the appearance of a formless flame.

While in his monster form, he was a large entity with multiple arms and skulls that oozed what looked like pro material.

## Personality

Nugal was incredibly confident in his own abilities and showed great loyal towards Engen, having proclaimed himself the fire that will incinerate his enemies before his darkness could reach them as long as he lived in his youth. But after witnessing the Iron Witch's power, he was demoralized and lost hope as he saw her as a God.

## Background

Nugal's entire early life is unknown, but he was mostly likely born after the Chaotic Era. He once had an impressive reputation of as a powerful Gift user and even had an entire group of followers that admired him for it.

It's unknown when but Nugal met Engen, a candidate for the throne of Nera during the War of Inheritance. Having seen Engen's boldness in achieving his objectives and conviction towards life even in the face of immense adversity, Nugal grew to admire him and would swear his loyalty towards the would be king alongside Abyss Dancer, another powerful Gift user. He became a core member in Engen's group of followers in the war and fought in many battles together alongside Chain, another candidate and Engen's partner. The war would eventually end with Engen's victory and the previous king of Nera dying. In the following three days after Engen assumed the throne and was ready to inherit the The Torch, a woman appeared who called herself The Iron Witch. She would kill everyone in the area in a mere second and destroy the Torch. Nugal could only stand shocked while rattled with fear upon seeing her god-like power, realizing that his flames will never be able to burn her. He became demoralized after seeing the Witch and was convinced that she was a complete God above even the powerful Elders.

But while he was shaken by the experience, Nugal continued to support Engen and Nera, while no longer at its peak, was still strong enough to fight for a place of dominance in the world.  After the time in which the Witch appeared, certain rumors started to spread around the same time. A man known as the Skysword had gained the attention of the world as he killed numerous district lords and defeated one of the Elders, Yushin in a duel. The Skysword had gain enough power to form an organization called the Hero Clan based around his fame. It was only matter of time until the clan, having operated underneath the banner of justice, clashed with Engen and the remaining remnants of Nera in what would be called the War of the Reeds or the Great War. Nugal fought alongside his comrades in numerous battles during the war, but they would be defeated once again after losing two major battles in the war. The word of "Nera" ceased to exist with the clan banning its name after their victory. Nugal's entire activities after the war aren't fully known but he retired from the public eyes and was counted amongst the Nameless, the survivors of the war. He would settle down in a slum and start a family as he had a son Bagna during the modern era. It's unknown if he had a spouse or not but Nugal would rest Bagna in the isolated slum.

## Story

### The Torch Arc

Engen would send out a summon for Nugal to ask for his assistance in attacking the Hero Clan during their transport of The Torch, but he refused to answer his old friend's call and kept to himself. Engen along with Rachel would travel to Nugal's slums and confront him about his refusal. Nugal explained his reasons for not wanting to help as he realized that fighting was pointless as along as the Witch was still around. Nugal mocked Engen for still clinging to the glory days of the past, but Engen rebuffed his old friend by stating that he spoke nonsense and that his time has only begun. Nugal would then clash against Rachel in a fight. He lost the fight but only because he held back in seriously fighting Rachel after seeing her progress in mastering her abilities and innate full potential.
