Noel Chandler

A leading zoologist on Energy Nede, the heroes of Expel were first introduced to him at his animal sanctuary in search of  a synard. Reluctantly, he agreed to help them. It was soon after this that he saw an opportunity to amend a past that won't release its grip on him. Saying only that he was once a partisan of the Ten Wise Men, he joined the party and fought to the end against Indalecio Lantis.

Now living alone on Expel, Noel spends his days in the Heraldry Forest among the animals he protects. With no companionship, he constantly dwells on his past. One that he never speaks of. One that even as he sleeps, haunts his dreams.

Noel was originally from Old Nede, not Energy Nede. While his wife Filia and daughter Jadaera lived under the protection of the Defense Force, he spent months at a time locked up in the Heraldry Lab working on a secret project with his father-in-law, Dr. Indalecio Lantis. That project was the Ten Wise Men Defense Plan, based on Noel's original theories and experiments on fusing biology and Heraldry science. Deemed too dangerous to be performed on living Nedians, it was Lantis' job to assist Noel in engineering artificial Nedians to be fused with Heraldry, creating defense weapons to maintain order among the frontier planets against Nede's rule. Once information was leaked out, the Chandler family and Lantis became targets of the Frontier Alliance, the terrorist group fighting for independence from the harsh rule of the Nedians. During one of his trips home to Giveaway, in another information leak, the Frontier Alliance allegedly attacked the town and Filia Chandler was killed, dying in her husband's arms. Their daughter, Jadaera Chandler, was also said to have been killed. However, Noel's memory seems to contradict this knowledge although he claims otherwise. This could be purely imaginative, however, since most of Noel's memories after Filia's death and until he awakened on Energy Nede are non-existent.

Noel claims that he was placed in stasis, his body frozen in time for millions of years as he constantly relived the nightmare that had become his life. This left him highly unstable when he finally woke up and was released from the "prison" on Energy Nede. It is still unknown how much time passed or how he lived his life once he did wake up until he met Bowman and the others. This is another aspect of his life he either refuses to discuss or has forgotten due to another connection with the Wise Men.
