- Noint to Hajime Nagumo

Noint is an expressionless woman, who is blunt to whomever she is speaking to as she has no emotions or a soul. She often speaks with a very monotonic voice, but shows sleight hints of irritation whenever she or her creator Ehit is insulted.

"Zero" Timeline
Noint contacted Hearst to recall her from her battle with the Miledi Reisen, Oscar Orcus and Naiz Gruen Caliente on behalf of Ehit due to him taking a interest in the Liberators for supposedly being Atavists with the ability to use Ancient Magic. Hearst complied with Noint's orders as she retreated to deliver her report to Ehit personally.

"Main Series" Timeline
Noint posed as a nun in the palace of the Heiligh Kingdom in order to spy the summoned heroes. She kidnaped Aiko Hatayama to prevent her from revealing the truth about the gods of Tortus that she learned from Hajime Nagumo to her students, and also to be used as bait to lure him to be killed.

Noint assisted in the treachery committed by Eri Nakamura and Daisuke Hiyama due Ehit being amused by their actions. She also killed Knight Commander Meld Loggins when he became too suspicious.

Noint later confronted Hajime after he sneaked into the Holy Church's Divine Temple to save Aiko, and was able to fight more than evenly against Hajime in her Limit Break state until Hajime was weakened by the magic conjured by Pope Ishtar Langbard and the bishops of the Holy Church until he broke free from the spell due to his power is too much and ruthlessly attacked the pope and his bishops even when ordered Tio to destroy to the temple, they were killed within the temple by the combined efforts of Aiko and Tio Klarus. Hajime eventually managed to kill Noint by driving a stake from his pile bunker through her heart.

Noint's body would later be used as a substitute body for Kaori Shirasaki after she was killed by Daisuke. Eventually, Kaori's soul was transferred back into her original body, but Hajime stored Noint's body inside his Treasure Trove ring to be used as a backup body in case he needed to transfer anyone else's soul into it.

Quotes

 * (To Hajime Nagumo): "You survived hardships that would have broken normal people, obtained unimaginable power, and found trustworthy comrades to aid you in your journey... Now, all that’s left is for you to fall before achieving your goal. For that is the kind of fate my master wishes upon you. So I kindly request that you die in a blaze of agony, suffering, and despair. After all, that is what shall please my master the most. The hero and his friends, on the other hand... appear to be up to something my master finds interesting, so he is content to leave them alone. As long as they continue entertaining him, he shall not remove them from the game board.”
