“Yes. I suppose even I have someone I want to send a letter to when I die. If I die, I want you to read my letter.”
—Noah to Zelot in The Binding Blade.

Noah is a playable character from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.

Profile[]

Noah is best friends with Trec and trained Fir in the arena, the latter of whom he has feelings for. He is a member of the Ilian mercenary squad lead by Zelot, who were hired by Lord Hector to fight against Bern. Once Hector is assassinated, they refuse to side with the enemies. He can be recruited to Lycia's army if talked by it's leader Roy or his captain Zelot.

In the following chapter, when they reach the Western Isles, Noah can recruit Fir by talking with her and convince her to switch sides. Once the war is over, Noah sets out to test his strength, traveling the world alone.

Personality[]

Noah is well aware that despite his skill as a mercenary, he may not live to see another day. For this reason, he tries to avoid forming deep bonds with other people. However, while fighting with Roy’s party, his way of thinking began to change, thanks to advice from Juno and especially due to meeting Fir, with him making a great effort to break out of his shell and finally develop a strong bond with others.

Noah states that he fell in love with Fir at first sight. He is also close to his liege, lady Juno. He wishes that he could stay relaxed like his best friend Trec, and has the swordsman Karel as his idol.

Noah suffers similar issues to Trec when it comes to joining time; both arrive in one of the most difficult chapters in the game, and the Cavaliers you have had since the beginning will outperform Trec, and be on equal, or better footing than Noah. Noah offers a few conveniences over Trec, however; he emerges in an easier-to-reach location, he has a higher starting level which allows him to promote faster (should you choose him over the six other characters who can use the Chapter 8 Knight Crest), and his base offensive stats are decent enough to train him fairly quickly. On the other hand, he has below-average growths in Strength and Speed, similar to mid-game pre-promotes like Echidna and (notably) Perceval.

Noah's weapon ranks are solid, most notably his C-rank in swords, which allows him to use the Killing Edge immediately (and later, if you're having trouble with Leygance, the Light Brand). His base Constitution of 10 also allows him to use Steel Swords unimpeded at base, and he'll lose only 1 speed when wielding Javelins before promotion; after his promotion, he'll also be able to wield Hand Axes unencumbered.

If the player is willing to put in the effort into training Noah, he will become a rather balanced Paladin with a bit of an emphasis on Skill. He can also replace Alen or Lance if they did not turn out well (or died), at least more quickly than Trec, but he'll generally be less of an offensive powerhouse and more of a line-holder. There's not much harm in fielding multiple Cavaliers/Paladins, of course, but acquiring more than two Knight Crests over the course of an entire playthrough can be troublesome.

Etymology[]

Noah is a Hebrew name meaning "rest, comfort". In the Book of Genesis, Noah had formed a covenant with God where he took his whole family and at least two of each animal onto a boat, while God flooded the world to punish all of those who had done evil. After the flood, a rainbow forms to show Noah that God did not forget him.

Noah is also a female name, for she was the daughter of Zelophehad, in Numbers 26:33 in the Bible.

Trivia[]

  • According to a Japanese gaming news website, Noah landed 39th place out of 80 in the character popularity poll for Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
  • Noah, Zelot, and Trec all share the exact same Defense growth, and almost exactly the same HP growth. (with Trec being the exception with 10% more in the growth)
