nox catorce
Main male character from Blind Justice, twin brother of Matin Catorce.
Nox Catorce, 14 years old, left-hander, the "negative" one of the twins, the wielder of The Sword Of Despair - Tyrfing. He was supposed to be a prince,but had been abandoned for having the ability to wield another Ristaccia piece inserted sword - Tyrfing. Matin and Nox are one pair of perfect symmetric, and so does the two swords too. To avoid the possible conflict between the positive one and the negative one, Nox must be abandoned.
But the kind royal sword instructor Adhuc did not want that to happen. He took Nox and the sword of Tyrfing, escaped from the palace, and then Nox became the third child adopted by Adhuc. He grew up in countryside,lead a poor life with Adhuc and the other two children. Adhuc taught him swordmanship. With his talent,Nox became an outstanding swordman. Knowing Nox is a Prince, Adhuc tried his best to economize the use of money to buy some gorgeous suits for Nox, for that, though he lead a tough life, Nox never looked shabby, but always as beautiful as his sister.
Nox had a strong sense of justice. He wanted to fight against the dominators of Holy Kingdom in order to save poor people, thus he joined the Alliance. Later, when he learned about his antecedent, he felt happy for owning an outstanding sister at first (he kept his braid to show his respect to Matin). But finally, with the implacable ressentiment, he had his heart occupied with hatred, and the hatred was amplificated day by day under the influence of the piece of Ristaccia which was inserted in Tyrfing. The Alliance hailed Nox as their leader, but Nox had no interest in taking his country back. He just hated Matin and wanted to kill her.
Nox means "darkness" in Latin, alternatively also refers to Nyx, Greek goddess of the night.
Catorce is "fourteen" in Spanish, possible reference to the fact that these two first appeared in IIDX 14 GOLD.
