Constantine Noble

**Constantine Noble** is an S-Class Mage of the mercenary guild, Bahamut Breath.

## Appearance

Constantine is a fair-skinned, youthful man with well-kept, short blonde hair and light blue eyes. He generally dresses in a white suit, including a white overcoat, dress coat, slacks, and dress shoes. Underneath that, he wears a lavender-colored dress shirt. To finish up his look he wears a dark purple tie. Occasionally, he will wear dark purple sunglasses as well.

## Personality

Constantine is a relaxed individual, often joking around, even when in dangerous situations. While loyal to his master, and willing to do whatever they ask of him, Constantine has stated he's no lap dog either and will ask questions as necessary. He also seems to be somewhat altruistic, as he just enjoys taking down "bad guys" and doesn't care much for monetary compensation. He is also a big fan of music, particularly jazz, owning a wide variety of instruments. However, Constantine seems to occasionally go into strange trances, relaying ancient information relating to things Constantine had never had the time to study, himself. Although these never last particularly long and often don't go too in-depth in regards to information.

## History

### Temple of Love

Constantine appears alongside Mercedes at a temple in Veronica, believed to potentially be the hideout of a group of thieves. Mercedes asked him if he thought that the mission was beneath him, with Constantine explaining that he just enjoyed stopping bad guys and wasn't much in it for the money. However, this only led Mercedes to tease him, even saying that money was how you afforded nice things. Not long after, they were greeted by Pratna from their allied guild, Butterfly Effect. Saying hello and that it was good to see her again, Constantine stated that his magic had mapped out the area, but there was one area he was unable to sense, saying it should be the first place they check out.

The trio soon entered the temple, finding it strange and somewhat disturbing due to the depictions of rape and other forms of assault adorning the walls, with Constantine stating that someone had seen something like this before. It wasn't much longer until Mercedes set off a trap that made the ground incredibly slippery as well as beginning to fill up with water. While Constantine was able to avoid immediate repercussions by floating off the ground, the trap was only stopped thanks to the actions of Pratna. Constantine thanked her and chastised Mercedes for her carelessness before moving on to the next room.

They found themselves in a room dedicated to sacrifices. Constantine recognized it as a temple to the Goddess of marriage and fertility, Junoaeternum, much to the shock and confusion of those present due to his sudden knowledge of the subject as well as the trace-like state he went into as he relayed the information. Pratna and Constantine discussed the strangeness of sacrificing humans for "fertility", but Mercedes stepped forward, saying that love, itself, was sacrifice and found a secret door leading deeper into the temple.

Constantine joked that he was about ready to chastise Mercedes for setting off another trap before taking the lead, leading the two women deeper into the temple as he kept his enhanced senses peeled for the dead zone his magic couldn't penetrate, becoming gradually more apprehensive as they got closer.

## Magic and Abilities

**Unnamed Magic**: Constantine uses some kind of magic that presumably grants him perfect pitch as well as perform echolocation, alluding to some kind of Sound Magic. His magic also allows him to hover off the ground.

**Enhanced Hearing**: Constantine has an enhanced sense of hearing. This, alongside his magic, helps with his perfect pitch. Presumably this hearing is so acute that he can pick up even the faintest sounds and changes in frequencies in order for him to tune his instruments by ear.

**Enhanced Smell**: Constantine has an enhanced sense of smell that allows him to pick up on a wide variety of scents. While his smell is quite acute, however, he generally only uses it for tracking when his hearing fails him.

**Virtuoso**: Constantine is capable of playing a wide variety of instruments, which he keeps at the Bahamut Breath guild hall. Constantine's preferred instrument, however, is the clarinet. While known to be skilled in many different types of music, his favorite genre of music is jazz.

## Equipment

Constantine owns a variety of instruments which he generally keeps stored at the Bahamut Breath guild hall.

**Clarinet**: Constantine's preferred instrument is his clarinet. Unlike most other clarinets, his is white in coloration. He uses it in conjunction with his magic for echolocation and casting spells, but is also just as skilled as using it as a regular clarinet.
