Noah Evans

Former Apprentice and Childe to both Cedric and Kori, Noah used to be a cold and calculating sociopath who sought nothing but to hold the greatest power in the world so that he could rule over everything, and through that, force the world to be a better place by eradicating conflict and suffering forever.

During the events of Blood: The Cascade, all of that changed, however.

Backstory
Noah's childhood was filled with suffering. His biological parents died in a bank robbery that turned into a shooting when he was only 2 years old, which led to him being raised in an orphanage, but that didn't last too long either, as he was adopted by abusive parents when he was 6, which only served to separate him from the friends he'd made in the orphanage.

The result of that was a very bitter child who would do everything he could to escape an abusive household. Despite that, he was very aware of his inability to care for himself, so he weathered the suffering for a few years while he focused on learning the most essential skills for his survival. By the time he was 10, Noah could be considered a young genius, and he made use of this to enter advanced education programs to get away from his family as much as possible.

Unfortunately, this distance caused the abuse to aggravate, and worse, led Noah's adoptive parents to adopt another child, much to his horror. A little girl named Rayne. She was much younger, and far more innocent than Noah. That meant she was much less capable of coping with the abuse. Despite Noah's efforts in aiding her, when he was 16, she died as a result of the abuse. That was too much for Noah. One night, after he left for his evening classes, the house burned down with the abusers in it.

From then on, Noah's opinion on the world was fully formed. It was a dark and dirty place with selfish and hurt people doing horrible things to each other, and the innocents didn't stay that way for long. And he didn't understand why, nor did he agree with letting it stay that way. So, he turned to all sorts of sources, researching away at history, theology, and even the occult in search of answers.

It was when he was 19 that such a search truly borne fruit, in the form of attracting the attention of another who sought to understand the world. Cedric Morda. Recognizing his talent, he agreed to cooperate with Noah's search, if he were to do the same in turn. And it was through that, and an agreement previously made between Cedric and Kori, that Noah was Embraced, and spent the next four years learning under Cedric, before being sent to aid Kori's research and learn from him as well.
