**Caron** is one of the few protagonists of the *Noel The Mortal Fate* game. He is one of the few playable characters and the character the player will take the role of most of the time.

## Appearance

At first glance, Caron appears to be a human with the head of a crow or raven. Despite his complaints about not being a bird but being a devil, he still gets called a bird or crow. It's heavily possible that Caron is some sort of bird devil though, as, in Season 3, the player is able to find what seems to be like Caron's fur/feathers.

In Seasons 1-8, Caron wears a formal outfit consisting of reds and blacks. He also has a pin seeming to be an upside-down cross. At the end of season 8 though, during the car chase, Caron switches outfits from the normal one he'd been wearing throughout the game to the outfit in the picture to the right. He also grows longer hair/feathers.

## Personality

Caron is a serious, level-headed individual, a young devil who is haughty of his title as a Great Devil and greatly respects the devil's contracts. However, he was not aware much about the specificness of the price he will give to his contractors and only enjoys toying with their desires as a normal Devil would do. However, Caron has changed his way of thinking and he changed from a cruel and ruthless individual suitable for an image of a devil who would toy with his contractees' wishes to a devil upon being affected by his two fateful contractors and an old devil.

Throughout the series, Caron has become more and more mature as he finally understood the meaning of being a Great Devil, which is *finding his way to grant the wish of the contractor without much concern about his pride as frequently anymore*. He no longer puts himself as the cruel and manipulative devil that people imagined. In addition, Caron has become honest and humble, admitting his weakness and ineptitude. Unhesitatingly gave Noel his respect for her determination and willpower upon recalling his memories and seeing Noel's strong will by walkthrough Caesar's wind of sorrow to save Jillian and lamented himself for only being able to protect himself while unable to protect Noel against Burrows' attack when the two of them were defeated by Burrows's power.

Despite being a devil, Caron is a noble individual with a high sense of morality who has his code of honour compared to some humans in the series: He got angry at Cybilla for tricking an uninformed girl into making a contract. As Caron has become more mature with his role and takes Caesar's last words and actions to heart, he disagrees with Spica about the idea of toying with their contractor as a devil as he believes a Great Devil should accomplish the contractor's will, rather than toying with them.

Above everything, he truly cares for Noel and their allies and unhesitatingly saves them when they need it. He saves Noel from the fall after he removes her arms and legs, gives her prosthetic legs despite being strangers in the first season, and takes care of her for two months after the Ceremony events. Later, he rescues Oscar in the mountain cottage, saving the underground-trapped Fugo's group while being hunted down by the OCT. His consideration towards Noel was later shown in season 3.5 as he offers her a week of vacation as a mission in their revenge to lift her spirit after the encounter with Jilian and Caesar.

Among his allies, Caron is one of the most rational, capable of thinking and making strategies with a cool head, as he slaps Noel out of her rage to prevent her from killing Cybilla Becker. He has a good sense of humor as he often bickers with Noel and some of Bomber's gang. Caron's pride is also highlighted throughout the series in a comedic way, taking being called a crow as an offense to him and frustratedly retorting at some people for calling him so, indicating that he is easy to be offended. However, it is worth noting that by the time he meets Noel, Caron has mellowed out significantly and only retorted when someone calls him a bird, while when he meets the young Russell Burrows, he would consider using violence on those who dare to do so, incidentally the mafias whose chasing the latter.

## Relationships

### Contractors

#### Noel Cerquetti

Noel and Caron are almost always together in the series, as Caron is her caretaker and bodyguard figure. The two first meet when Noel summons Caron as a trap set by Russell Burrows and Cybilla Becker. After removing Noel's arms and legs, Caron hears Noel's cry offered and interprets it as a second contract. He then saves Noel, giving her prosthetic legs, and after helping Noel to have a clearer view of Burrows, the pair start to work together to get revenge on Russel Burrows.

Over the seasons, Noel and Caron work together on their revenge plan. While in earlier seasons the two only saw each other as a tool to get revenge on Burrows, the two start to understand one another as time passes and form a strong bond, allowing Noel to Fall for the first time. Despite their occasional bickering and sometimes making fun of each other, they are willing to risk themselves for their partner as demonstrated throughout the series. Caron admits that he is impressed with Noel's strong will and boldness, claiming that it is what makes them come this far and ensures their success in the path of vengeance.

Throughout the series, it is evident that Caron deeply cares for Noel's well-being and safety despite saying to her that he only helps with the contract in the first season. Not only take care of her daily life (cooking, cleaning, clothing her, etc.,) since she only has one arm and thus can not take care of herself, but he was also considerate of her mental health, evidenced by his offers to her a vacation in a week as a mission to lift her spirit after seeing Noel got depressed after learns that Jillian has become a Demon. From that point, it can be sure that he has grown to become fond of his demon partner and he sincerely cares about her on a personal level.

His care for her also extended to the way he helps her fulfill her revenge, ensuring that Noel will not get her hand dirted in the path of revenge. In that process, Caron has changed his way and instead of using dirty and violent tactics like when he did to help Russell, he chooses stealthy tactics and would avoid unwanted confrontations as much as he can despite the risk and inconvenience. Caron believes that if she completes her vengeance by killing her enemies will only make her become a killer which has no difference to Russell and Cybilla. Thus, he snapped Noel out of her blind rage by slapping her before she shoots Cybilla to her death. Indicating that he wanted the best for her not because of her desire for revenge but for her life and future.

Caron did admit to Spica that he did not want to manipulate Noel as his former self did to Russell and instead, he wanted to show her a beautiful life.

#### Russell Burrows

Before the main series, Burrows signs a contract with Caron with the desire to become the mayor of Lhaplus. The pair work together in the plans planned by Caron and are truly close as a business. After gaining the position as the mayor of Lhaplus, Burrows not only didn't pay the price but he has started to change, much to Caron's horrors. After he abandoned and betrayed Caron, he orders his secretary to use Caron to trick Noel.

Upon the incident, the devil only has himself to blame for all the terrible things that happened, for having been such a bad influence and at the same time, held a grudge towards Burrows. After the incident, he realizes his flaws in the price he bestowed on the mayor and the error of his way of guiding his demon partner. Thus trying to be better with Noel as he realizes that controlling does not make a devil and grew to be considerate of her and guides her to be better than Russell himself.

Over the seasons, Caron and Noel become stronger and turns their former enemies into allies, and due to Russell constantly seeing them as easy to eliminate and entrusting their elimination to his underlings, which making Caron states that Burrows has become weaker than before as he is easily get defeated by Noel in Season 7. Unfortunately for them, Burrows has overcome his price and uses the power he has gained from overcoming the price to defeat him and Noel. However, as Caron becomes a full fledge Great Devil and upon unlocking Mortal Linker, he was able to fight back Russell's Mortal Anchor.

In Season 12, as Caron unlocked his ability to create his space-time dimension and cross The Sea of Truth, he became aware of Russell's motive and as Caron understood his old partner's thoughts and views, he successfully claimed his price, completing their unfinished pact and took away Mortal Anchor from the latter. Without the power of his self-devoured contract and the price has been taken, Russell became vulnerable until he claims the power of the Devil of The Beginning.

### Allies

#### Fugo Dressel

In Season 1, he was Caron and Noel's enemy hired by Burrows to kill them but failed and ended up in prison. In Season 5, he and Noel along with his gang in the abandoned Dressel's Steelwork organized a big-grand mission to rescue Caron. After successfully rescuing Caron and learning from Jino that Burrows was responsible for ruining his family. Enranged and in shock, Fugo decides to take revenge on the city's mayor and becomes the second ally of the pair in the process.

Afterward, they get along but not without occasional bickering, Fugo often teases and makes fun of Caron a lot, much to Caron's annoyance. Caron often refers to Fugo as uncivilized, and cocky while Fugo calls Caron an annoying crow. But they are often worried for each other whenever troubles happen to the group as in Season 8, Fugo himself wonders and hopes that Caron and Noel are still alive. While Caron hopes that he and the others are fine. In Season 9, Caron, Noel, and Oscar even rushed into Melloy and save Fugo's group in a nick of time.

#### Oscar Dressel

In Season 3, Oscar was the two enemies, and he was referred to by both Noel and Caron as "Ripper". Oscar antagonized him and Noel out of anger towards Noel for defeating Fugo. But at the end of Season 3, before being nearly killed by Caesar, he has taken Noel's offer to join them and become their first ally.

Caron seems to get along with Oscar better than his younger brother since Oscar is much more formal, mature, and considerate yet more civilized than Fugo's cocky and hot-headed traits. Oscar seems to consider Caron highly, trusts him as a comrade, and is one of the few people who didn't call him a crow. In Season 8, Caron and Noel learn that Oscar was imprisoned in the nearby cottage with them. So the pair decided to rescue him before escaping. Also, Oscar seems to be considerate towards Caron for his lack of knowledge of modern technology, as demonstrated when he learns and realizes that Caron does not know anything about seatbelts.

#### Python

Similar to his relationships with his friends, they care and unhesitatingly risk themselves out for each other. Python and Caron have a friendly and respectful-like relationship, similar to Oscar, Python is one of the few people who did not call Caron a crow as well as considerating Caron's tech illiterateness and would occasionally aid the latter to handling some devices such as laptops and cellphones and provide him with the updated information. Because of this, Caron seems to be fond of Python compared to the other members of the Bomber gang.

Additionally, Python was also the only member to note Caron's favorite drink.

#### Slug and Toad

They often made fun of Caron's appearance and called him a crow and his hopelessness with technology, especially Toad, which is much to Caron's annoyance. Nevertheless, they trust Caron and are willing to risk themselves for him and the same goes for Caron on several occasions.

#### Ribelio Strada

In their first met, Caron is wary of Ribelio when he introduces himself as the Lieutenant of OCT and was intimidated by his power. Upon knowing each other, the former has shown great consideration towards the latter as he has some similarities with his partner. On the one hand, after learning about his past, Caron advises him to be proud of his action of saving his friends, and later, tells him to be honest about his feelings with Spica. On the other hand, Ribelio wanted Caron and Noel to come with him to OCT and wanted to avoid a confrontation with them.

Similar to Noel, Caron views Ribelio as a rival and a friend, and the two men grew fond of each other in the process of Noel's vengeance with Caron being the one who sees through him the most and would often advise the latter and Ribelio, despite constantly defy their relationship of being allies but helps Caron and his group without any hesitation to prevent the corruption of OCT.

### Great Devils

#### Caesar

In their first meeting, Caron is surprised and intimidated by Caesar's presence and overwhelming power despite him being bounded and admits that if he has to fight against Caesar straight on, he will lose, thus the former would avoid a confrontation with the latter as much as he can. In Caesar's perspective, he is interested in the young devil for he is the devil's partner of the girl who is the center of his contract with Jillian despite not having much interaction with the latter. Despite being enemies, the white bird-like devil did not have any hard feelings or antagonize Caron and his friends as his actions are deriving from the pact made with Jillian.

In Season 7, he welcomed Caron and Noel to his self-created realm and has a conversation with Noel about Jillian, both Caron and Noel have to go through many trials as the test of the heart. In the end, Caesar sacrifices himself by deliberately deciding to grant Jillian's true desire and abandoning his contract but not before lecturing Caron on what it is of a devil. Upon witnessing Caesar's dignified action in the face of death making Caron highly respects the old Great Devil, taking on what he has told him before vanishing into the void. This later allows him to find his path to becoming a true Great Devil and became Sharp-eyed Devil Caron. As indicated in Season 12, Caron continuously strives to become a Great Devil as Caesar ever since the event in Season 7.

Caesar in his death, still leaves some left-behind traces of himself for Caron and Noel as he left behind a mark in the form of a white feather of his to Caron in Season 12 and it has helped the latter to create a dimension similar to Caesar. After extracting and taking the price for his unfinished pact with Russell Burrows, Caron have told the latter what Caesar has taught him before leaving with Noel. Later, Caron realizes another trace he left behind for them was his power and an inheritor to help them in the crucial moment. Caron later gains his power in the form of Noel's strong will and the inherited memories of Jillian through Mortal Linker in the final battle with Russell Burrows.

#### Spica

Both quarrel on their first meeting as they refer to each other as a crow and a little girl. Later when they are alone with each other, Caron was overwhelmed by Spica's powers and intimidation from a higher place, making Caron realize that she is much more powerful and likely in a higher position than him despite her appearance.

Spica does not consider much of Caron and does not think of him as a true Great Devil for his failure with Russell Burrows. Above all, their ideal of being devils collide with each other with Spica preferring manipulation while Caron, upon witnessing Caesar's dignity, believes the otherwise and chooses to guide his partner to a beautiful life. Nevertheless, despite the annoyance, the former still accepts the latter's ideals and lectures the young devil on what a Great Devil is, and how the specificness of the price will affect the contract and she advised Caron about his future actions for his contract with Noel. Before leaving Caron alone in the cottage, she leaves her final words to him about his about-to-crumble contract with Noel if he failed to fulfill it. This makes Caron thinks of them before deciding to go and find Noel.

After becoming Sharp-eyed Devil, Caron continues to be wary of Spica but seems to be less hostile than before, especially after hearing about her past as Carla. Ever since Noel helps both Ribelio and Spica in making peace in Triela, they start to see each other as fellow devils and became cooperative rather than intimidate each other like before and Spica willingly helps his group to investigate the Devil of the Beginning.

## Powers and abilities

### Chain Creation

This is Caron's signature ability throughout the series, using this ability he can freely create chains and can use them for many purposes like swinging and capturing. Depending on the situation, his chains possess various abilities and are very effective in both offensive and defensive combat.

In Season 12, Caron draws two magic circles that are connected to use his chain as a means for the whole group to escape OCT.

### Wish Granting

As a Great Devil, Caron can grant his contractor wishes and price them as well. However, he wasn't aware of the price of the Demonic contract before, which causes his first contract with Russell Burrows to fail and he took over the price. The encounter with Caesar and Spica, makes him learn what it is to be a Great Devil: granting the wish of the contractor for the pride of being a Devil.

### Price

As he can grant wishes, he can price the wish as well. As shown when he removes Noel's limbs after granting her first wish of killing the president of Stella Stage. Later taking away her right eye after returning her left hand as Noel requested. However, his contract with Russell failed because at that time he did not understand much about the weight of a price (thus the price for their contract did not stick to Russell) and only toyed with Burrows and see him as greedy and ambitious without knowing the latter motives.

### Physical Ability

Caron is shown to be rather strong as he only needs one hit to knock out a person. Not even Russell Burrows's security guards could take his blow. He can also control his strength since he slaps Noel without injuring her other than leaving a mark on her face. Those who can withstand his hits are Caesar, the Dressel brothers, Jino Lorenzi, Dratton Bergman, Luce Marie (using her time-stop glance), Ribellio Strada, Spica, and later, Russell Burrows in his Fallen Down state.

### Immortality

As a Devil, Caron was granted immortality and he existed for a few hundred years before the main series.

### Demonic Perception

As a Great Devil, Caron has a great sense of perception. He can distinguish between minor devils and humans despite their disguising skills that can fool a human. After the encounters with Oscar and Caesar, he starts to recognize a demon at the first meeting.

However, his perception is still behind Caesar and Spica. He can not tell whether a demon has fallen like Caesar nor distinguish demons' similarities through their smells like Spica.

### Space-time manipulation

In Season 12, Caron creates his own dimension between space and time by manifesting his thoughts to find the clue about Burrows' goal and the Devil of the Beginning. With a mark left behind by Caesar in the form of his feather, Caron successfully formed his own dream-like realm similar to the late white devil called **The Sea of Truth**.

In this realm, Caron's memories and knowledge containing in the form of an endless sea and a horizon above. The sea has uncontrollable vortexes created by his senseless thoughts without any directions that would attack anyone in there except for Caron. On the horizon are stars formed by Caron's knowledge combined with his allies, who can lead the right path to cross the sea. In order to break through the vortexes, one must see the truth regard to their motive to find out the truth.

The realm was created as a form of finding out the truth as once one's crossing the sea on the right path, they will safely find out the truth as Noel and her friends learn about Burrows's plans to create the Devil of The Beginning. According to Caron, in order to cross the sea, they must reflect on the past and connect every clue of what they know to find the right path. Otherwise, they will be swallowed by the vortexes.

However, unlike the experienced and powerful Caesar, Caron has not been able to fully control his realm and he can not stop time in the real world like Caesar did.

## Weakness

Despite being a Great Devil, Caron did attain some weaknesses.

### Devil's Weakness

#### Binding Shackles

If a binding is formed during the summoning ritual, Caron will be bound similarly to Caesar and unable to use his power to the fullest. This also extended to the OCT's specialized IBB.

#### Devil's law-abiding

Like all devils, Caron has to abide by the law of the devil and there will be a penalty for him if he breaks one.

### Other Weaknesses

#### Vulnerability

Despite his strength and immortality, Caron can get injured as well as shown in season 1 he was put in a much-disadvantaged situation during the duel with Fugo until Noel destroy the steel beam. Later in season 3, he was intimidated by Caesar's power and strength. Later, he receives a severe wound when Oscar slashed him with his sword in season 4. Another example is when he can't stand Caesar's wind of sorrow and later take severe injured from Burrows. In season 8, he was intimidated by Ribellio's strength and Spica's power and did not take on Ribellio, equipped with a rocket launcher.

Thus when fighting someone far stronger than him, he has to rely on stealth as shown during his fight with OCT members when saving Oscar and during his duel with Luce Marie in season 10.

#### Tech Illiterate

Caron has proven to not know about modern technology and he is extremely unfamiliar with modern technology and oblivious to the latter, which dumbfounded many characters such as Noel and Oscar, the Bomber's trio would later use this weakness to make fun of him.

Caron does not know nor has any knowledge about security Drones, computer hacking, and several more. He even questioned a USB's function and did not know what the car seatbelts were for nor their existence. Even though he’s an all-powered Devil capable of incredible feats, when faced with the concept of various technologies, he is visibly confused and has to rely on Noel for further advancement, since his only method to deal with them is to break whatever is connected to them.
