When the Crystal gave life to the 8 Lords the remnants of Lux's soul re awoke and combined with the new energies from the crystal and formed Novem's soul as the ninth lord, Novem has no memory of Lux but the core pieces of her soul remain deep within him asleep.    Novem as the ninth lords ranked the lowest in the order was still given an important roll. His job was to find traitors and those working against the order the lords where trying to establish. He was then given the job to break the possession of the Old Ones over several followers of the Lords by Primis, Novem later learnt that this people where not possessed and there souls were destroyed by Novem's actions. This created a rift between Novem and the other lords as he questioned their judgement and what their goals where. While he was still part of the Throned Ones he formed he own settlement in the north dedicated the free thought and self expression. The first lord learnt of this and sent out news the Novem had killed followers of the Throned Ones and told his followers that he had formed a secret society to destroy the Throned Ones society, leading to everyone being killed in Novem's settlement and he was then later killed and then thrown into the draining lake below. The crystal that resided in his form as a lord was damage during this and his energy drained his soul fell into a slumber.   Many years later Novem was reborn in the form of a dragoon by scientist who had found the crystal in the bottom of the lake and placed within the husk of a body but had no memory. Novem was later abandoned by this organisation and left in the wilds of the north at 4 years old. Novem was taken in by a Umbra master and as he aged he slowly regained his memory by aged ten he had fully regained his identity but still had fractures and cracks within the crystal that barred his soul, this meant he had lost most of his powers and was actively becoming weaker. With his memory back he decided that he would train under the Umbra Master in combat and the Umbra Arts, while he practised meditation to reform and heal his soul and offset the leaking of his soul energy. Novem meet a boy in the village he lived in and become very close with him and over 4 years slowly began to develop romantic feelings for him, the boy was later killed by thieves which Novem took revenge upon and discovered that they had stolen texts from an old shrine from the Umbras. By 15 he had become an official member due to his return of lost texts of the Umbra organisation and had developed and good relationship with his guardian. Novem and the Boy from the village made a promise to go to a prestigious academy in the capital of a country to the south together and make a name for themselves as they came from a poor and small town.
