## **Personality**

### **General**

Due to his lack of appearances, it is hard to truly determine what Novis was like. During Book 2, it is stated that Novis possesses one of the purest hearts in the magical world, despite his mysterious and unclear attitude. It is also hinted that he started working on his goal to defeat Caloris from a young age, presenting the Diamond Dragon-Slayer as a motivated and hard-working mage.

### **Mysteriousness**

Though his good intentions are clear, it is stated by Zane that Novis comes off as someone who is very unclear at times. Before heading into battle against Dragon Claw, Novis admits that he nearly forgot to explain the plan to Black Crown and the Dragon-King Alliance.

Additionally, it isn't until the Dragon-King Summit where Novis explains his true intentions and his past to the two teams.

### **No Restraints**

As seen in his fights against Caloris Azathoth and Jiro Kazuki respectively, Novis has a similar fighting style to Zane, which revolves around attacks that leave little concern for defense. Though it is not the reason he dies, Novis admits that his fighting-style has led to him making numerous attacks, such as allowing Caloris to live on more than one occasion.

### **Boldness**

Through his actions during the events of Book 2, it is implied that Novis was one of the closest things to a true hero within the magical world. When fighting against Caloris in the final battle, it is only through his sacrifice that the Dragon-Slayers are able to penetrate through the *Sun of Catastrophe* spell and finally defeat the Fire Dragon-Slayer.

## **Background**

When he was young, Novis was studious and hard-working mage who wished to become a doctor in order to save lives; however, an incident led him to meet the Diamond Dragon-Queen, Mantem. Due to his courageous and noble heart, Mantem took Novis in and trained him in the art of Diamond Dragon-Slaying Magic, before giving him a final test and allowing him to graduate from her training.

After learning about the story of the first Dragon-Slayer, Caloris Azathoth, and how the mage had somehow made it to present time, Novis dedicated himself to stopping the enemy and their newly-formed guild, Dragon Claw. In order to do so, Novis, under the advice of Mantem, decided to attempt to seek out other mages wielding the power of the Dragon-Kings; however, he discovered that he was the only one currently in possession of them.

Following his wait over the course of a few years, Novis would make his move after the defeat of Vahntrius Griffith and the Alliance, seeking out Alain and Tarik Harukama and recruiting them to the Dragon-King Alliance; next, he would find Zane, Mio and Shota all in once location, asking them to attend a meeting the following day. Lastly, though he was capable of tracking down Divinos, he was turned down by the Storm Dragon-Slayer.
