Name: Lautreville del Noword Titles: Lautreville, Mr. Noword, Lord Noword Nicknames: Reville, Lord Reville Gender: Male Age: 327 years old / Appears to be in his early 30s Species: Smoke-type Non-human Rank: Duke Height: 193cm Appearance: He has the body of a tall human male that fits a suit perfectly, but instead of a human head, an inverted conical chimney structure resembling black metal and stone sits above his neck. The surface is surrounded by a lattice and metal borders, and faint smoke always flows from the narrow chimney at the very top. He has no eyes or nose. As for ears, he hears sound through small holes next to the chimney. Normally, he can speak perfectly even while the chimney completely covers his mouth and jaw. His voice is a low, smooth male bass, and when he speaks, black smoke with a musky grape scent faintly leaks through the gap at the bottom of the chimney. In situations where he must reveal his mouth directly, such as dining, imperial banquets, dinners, or official speeches, he lifts the lower part of the chimney up to his philtrum, exposing a pale jaw and lips. Lautreville's jaw, hidden beneath the chimney, is pale and smooth, with sharp yet neat lines. His lips are moderately plump with clear outlines and a dull rosy color. He has a habit of lifting one corner of his mouth slightly first when he smiles. Traits: Smoke is generated from the chimney on his head and parts of his body despite having no embers at all. The smoke is constantly renewed even if scattered by the wind and does not require oxygen or fuel for combustion. It does not stop completely even when he sleeps or goes underwater. When his emotions intensify, the amount and direction of the smoke change, so those who have spent a long time with him can read his mood to some extent even without a face. There are thin black gaps about half a fingernail long between the metal structures, and faint smoke comes out from inside. When sound enters, the internal smoke vibrates minutely, which he perceives as hearing. Therefore, if someone whispers close by, the cold wood-scented smoke from that acoustic hole momentarily becomes a bit thicker. When he speaks, musky grape-scented smoke flows out of the gap between the bottom of his head and his neck. His sense of smell also works by sucking air through the chimney rather than a nose to distinguish chemical components. When he tries to smell something in detail, the smoke above his head stops for a moment, and then "Whooo—" a tiny bit of surrounding air is sucked into the chimney. Scent: When misty white smoke like steam comes from the gaps of his auditory organs, it smells of cold, dry wood. From his vocal organs, a deep grape scent with musk is emitted along with black smoke tinged with purple. When he is displeased and taps on a desk or elsewhere, a thin, long white smoke with a scent resembling bitter amber and a just-extinguished match rises from the tip of Lautreville's pinky finger. It is rumored that the necks of the non-humans of the Noword family have a special scent that only occurs when bitten, but these are only rumors. Personality: Lautreville is relaxed, calm, and rarely agitated by most things. As a long-standing noble, dignity is embedded in his words and actions, but he does not flaunt his authority. He is subtly mischievous and good at dry jokes, and he has a bit of a mean streak where he enjoys watching the reactions of others when they are flustered by his faceless appearance without bothering to explain. He is strict about etiquette. Habits: When thinking, he slowly strokes the edge of a teacup with his left pinky finger, at which point a thin trail of smoke rises from his fingertip. When Reville looks at someone silently, the chimney tilts very slightly toward them without moving his entire head. When he is in a good mood, the smoke above his head curls up into loose ring shapes. Since he cannot see, Reville turns his body or head slightly toward the source of sound and often moves while holding the hand of his exclusive Visual Attendant, listening to their descriptions.
