• Loves to be helpful, first to volunteer services
• Extremely well learned in farming and agriculture
  

Background: Noe was originally from a small group of nomadic peoples, who migrated between their summer and winter locations every year. Noe's family helped with agriculture, working and tending the fields to provide sustenance during the warm season. Noe was taught everything he needed to know about local floral and fauna care, ensuring that the native ecosystem was not damaged by their presence. While in their summer location, Noe was seduced by a cultist named Lana.

Lana promised Noe her hand in marriage if he could prove himself in her order. Noe took the bait, and joined the Cult of the Dragon, determined to become a high ranking member. Determined, strong, and willful, Noe had the requirements, but lacked the cruelty required to advance. It was in his plateau he met Zafira, a cunning cultist. He immediately declared Noe his best friend, and used his connections to get into the Blackguard, without overt displays of cruelty from Noe.



The party had to convince the Blackguard to let them into the cultist camp, and barely managing to do so, the warlock Sahri winked at one of the soldiers in hopes of improving their internal connections. Setting out to find the Blackguard once it was night, Sahri found Noe in a drug induced stupor by a fire. Zafira was by his side making sure Noe did not overdo it, and reassured Sahri Noe was just broken hearted, having just learned that his love Lana had been duping him all along, and was already married to another cultist. When Sahri returned later, she convinced the sober Noe to punch the cultists who tricked him in the face, which he happily went off and did, accompanied by Sahri and Zuloira's dramatic music.

When the camp erupted into chaos the party had planned, Sahri confessed she was against the cultists. It was then Noe decided to defect, and Zafira agreed. They left a lightning bolt through a heart at the entrance to a secret cave for Sahri and her friends to escape, promising to meet them again as the new formed guild the StormBorn.

Found again in Elturel while trying to recruit members, Sahri convinced Noe and Zafira to help the party. Noe now helps hold down the Guild Hall in Baldur's Gate, cleaning and prepping while the party is off taking down the cult for now. Before the party left, he confessed his love for Sahri.
