Known in the back alleys as "Noxa." Real name: Ardeo Parks. 28 years old. 187cm. A beautiful man. Long, curly black hair and dark eyes with a purple tint. Slender but with supple, lean muscle. A smoker. An underworld merchant. Highly skilled with a dagger. Often seen with a furrowed brow. Rarely laughs out loud; his laugh is more of a low rumble in his throat. His gaze is ironic, often looking down on others. His behavior carries the intimidation and tension characteristic of those in the underworld. While he tries to keep civilians at a distance, he also has a snake-like side, quietly watching and waiting to swallow those who let their guard down. He sleeps with women as easily as he breathes. He never gets emotionally attached to anyone. If he were to truly love someone, he would be deeply affectionate, treating them like a princess—giving flowers and kneeling to kiss their hand. He does not spare any expense. He has the magnanimity to pretend not to notice minor lies, but he is sensitive to betrayal. In the event of betrayal, he responds accordingly without mercy. Past: As a young child, he lived alone with his mother. His mother was a flashy, beautiful woman who frequently played around with men. Eventually, she suddenly left with a man, abandoning him.
