N, real name Noah, is a non-playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is a member of Moebius.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]

N was the original version of Noah, who fought against Moebius. After he and Mio repeatedly failed to defeat Moebius, they abandoned the war and had a son. Mio died afterwards from natural causes, and Noah later followed. Following this, Noah was shown that in each of their lives he and Mio would meet, fall in love, join the Lost Numbers and die. Z, the leader of Moebius, offered to make him and Mio into Consuls, an offer he accepted. Subsequently, he killed many of the Lost Numbers and destroyed the first City as a means of getting the Embers to resurrect Mio as Consul M. Although N loves M, he is unaware that she is miserable and never wished to live forever.

The first encounter of N with the Ouroburos is at Keves Castle, although he is not fought. He is later encountered along with M at Agnus Castle. After a battle, which allowed the rest of the Lost Numbers to escape, N is nearly killed when Lanz and Sena try to cause an Annihilation Event in their Ouroboros form, but X intervenes. N then decides to have the Ouroburos imprisoned, with Mio in a different cell, until her homecoming. Although the Ouroburos try, they are unable to escape their cell. The day comes, and Noah is forced to watch as Mio is sent off. After this, N attempts to execute Noah.

Noah learns the story of how the original Noah and Mio became N and M. Afterwards, it is revealed that during the previous battle, M had swapped places with Mio, and M had been the one sent off. The revelation greatly angers N, who lashes out at Noah for his version of Mio choosing to stay with him. He is sent away by Moebius for the time.

N is encountered one final time at Origin. After a battle, the Ouroburos convince him to come to his senses. He merges with Noah in a similar fashion to how M merged with Mio. After the defeat of Z, N and M's spirits reappear, and although Noah and Mio try to convince them otherwise, they sacrifice themselves to destroy Z and stop his destruction of the world.
