Nozel Silva is a male anime and manga character who features in Black Clover.

Biography

Nozel Silva (Japanese: ノゼル・シルヴァ, Hepburn: Nozeru Shiruva) was the son of Acier Silva with his parents being part of royal House Silva within the Clover Kingdom. As the eldest child, he was by his mothers side as she gave birth to his siblings that included his sister Nebra Silva and his brother Solid Silva. As a child, he met Fuegoleon Vermillion who was a boy of House Vermillion with the two being of a similar age and being rivals to one another.

He was 14 years old when his mother gave birth to Nozel's youngest sister named Noelle Silva where she had rested in a secluded residence. Afterwards, Acier Silva fought against Vanica Zogratis with Nozel taking Noelle to safety in the bushes where he watched his mother fight against the enemy. The infant Noelle though would end up crying thus drawing Vanica's attention where she attempted to kill the children. This allowed for Acier to stab her foe who was lethally wounded but her Devil Megicula came to curse Nozel's mother whereupon Vanica retreated from the battle. In the aftermath, Acier came to be severely weakened and left bedridden with the curse preventing her from revealing the true reason behind her condition.

Sometime afterwards, Nozel came to receive a Grimoire inheriting his mothers gift for manipulating metal and joined the Silva Eagle squad of the Magic Knights. A year after being cursed, his mother came to pass away with Nozel promising to make himself stronger in order to avenge her death and to also protect his siblings. He eventually came to be a captain similar to his mother.

At the annual Magic Knights Entrance Exam, Nozel, along with the rest of the Magic Knight Captains, observe and judge on whom they want to add into their squad. After the exams, when Yuno appeared in front of them, all of the captains, including Nozel, want him and raise their hands, but Yuno decides to join the Golden Dawn. Weeks later, at a War Merits Conferment Ceremony with the Wizard King, Nozel is present as captain of Silver Eagle, along with Nebra and Solid, who are being promoted. As Noelle's own siblings are heartily humiliating their sister, Nozel goes as far as trying to banish her from the venue. Seeing it happens in front of his eyes, Asta quickly grabs Noelle's arm as he tries to prevent her from leaving. He then climbs on top of one of the tables and makes his declaration to surpass all of them. A fight arises and eventually Asta is able to hold his own against Solid. Seeing the embarrassing actions from his younger brother, Nozel steps in as he releases his magic power. Fortunately, the captain of the Crimson Lion squad, Fuegoleon, interferes and points out the House Silva's shameless act of attacking a boy. Fuegoleon's comments are not received well by Nozel as the latter gives him a condescending remark which leads to a brief confrontation between the captains. Their standoff is interrupted by the announcement that the Royal Capital is under attack. After assessing the situation, Fuegoleon orders Nozel, Nebra, and Solid to head to the central section as it has the highest concentration of mana. The siblings fly away aboard Solid's water eagle, and upon arriving at the battlefield, Nozel is greeted to cheers while he orders the citizens to get behind him. The Silver Eagles resolve to defeat the corpses, and Nozel brings down Silver Rain on them and declares them guilty for attacking the citizens. Once they defeat the enemies, Nozel is suspicious of the weak assault and suspects it was a diversion. Suddenly a Spatial Magic spell activates and the groups of Knights are teleported far away from the city. Using combined efforts, they manage to get back rather quickly, and Nozel uses his Silver Rain on the enemies but is surprised when the enemy uses a dark magic tool to absorb the properties of his attack. As the enemies leave, they take Asta with them, and Noelle immediately proposes a rescue mission for her squadmate. However, the other Knights immediately reject it with Nozel deciding to focus the resources on establishing the Royal Capital's defenses. Solid starts making fun of Fuegoleon's loss, but Nozel interrupts him stating that they are even less than him for not even being present at the fight. Later, after a meeting with Julius Novachrono, Nozel is angry at himself for letting Fuegoleon on the verge of dying. As he remembers his past with Fuegoleon, he states that he will find the one who did this to Fuegoleon and bury them himself. Nozel, Jack the Ripper, and Charlotte Roselei save Yami Sukehiro from the combined attack of Rhya, Vetto, and Fana. After Yami complains about their arrival, Nozel and Yami trade insults. Nozel decides to take on the Third Eye by himself, but when Yami and Asta start criticizing him, he threatens to deal with them first. Asta then tries to join the fight, but Nozel says that someone without magic power would only get in the way. Nozel attacks Licht but Fana blocks the Silver Spear. As he squares off against Fana and Salamander, he creates multiple spears and boasts about the strength of his mercury, having trained against Fuegoleon's Fire Magic. Like the others Nozel is surprised when Asta makes it through the battlefield unscathed and lands a hit on Licht. When Licht's magic begins overflowing because Asta's sword removed the seal, the Third Eye surround and seal their leader, surprising Nozel with the feat.

Nozel attends a meeting of the Magic Knights captains. He complains about Jack and Yami's bickering. Rill Boismortier mentions the absence of Fuegoleon and the table goes silent, but when he tries imitating the Crimson Lion captain, Nozel and Jack threaten him. After William Vangeance's late arrival, Nozel questions why he was also absent from the decoration ceremony. After Marx Francois contacts them, they proceed to the dungeon and wait to hear the name of the traitor, as revealed by George and Catherine. When Gueldre Poizot tries to escape, he attacks the other captains with Invisible Soldiers. Nozel defends with Mercury Magic and uses it to grab chunks of the stone floor and ceiling, with which to hit Gueldre. However, Rill restrains Gueldre before the other captains destroy too much of the building, but Nozel explains that they would have had the lower rank knights repair the building. After watching some of Gueldre's memories, Julius orders the captains to search their own squads for more traitors but not to make the information public. Some time later, Nozel discovers that the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base is the Gravito Rock Zone's floating dungeon. At Julius's request, Nozel and the other Magic Knight captains attend the Star Awards Festival. He quietly resents Golden Dawn for placing first but is visibly shocked when Black Bull places second. After Yuno and Asta take to the stage, Nozel watches quietly as the two rookies display their strength. After the ceremony, Yami greets the other captains and brags about his squad's placement over theirs, for which Nozel threatens him. The other captains then leave, refusing to celebrate with Yami. Weeks later, Nozel is chosen by Augustus Kira Clover XIII to join the Royal Knights. After the squad travels to Eye of the Midnight Sun's base, Nozel orders Siren to make a model of the dungeon, and Mereoleona Vermillion explains the situation and divides the squad into teams. Nozel infiltrates the dungeon with Siren, En Ringard, and Nils Ragus. When they are confronted by three mages, Nozel dashes past them and defeats them with a wave of Silver Spears while declaring that he will take Licht's head to avenge Fuegoleon. As he makes his way deeper, Nozel defends against the traps while attacking his enemies. After Nils and Siren are possessed by elf spirits, they turn on Nozel and En, who escape with a smoke screen. They regroup with the other Royal Knights outside of the dungeon. Nozel sets up a healing space for the injured. When Nozel receives word about more elves in the kingdom, he declares that they must save the country even if it means killing their fellow Magic Knights. Noelle, however, suggests that they can save their possessed comrades. The other Knights agree, and Nozel accepts in silence and creates a vessel to convey them back to the country. As they pass over the Forsaken Realm, Nozel refuses to stop to defend Hage, prioritizing the Royal Capital. He does allow Asta and Yuno to go but stops Noelle from joining them. On the way, Nozel changes the vessel into an eagle made of mercury, and the group arrives at Clover Castle just before the dungeon. The group of Magic Knights split up and head to different parts of the castle, with Nozel, Noelle, and Zora heading to defend House Silva's section. Once inside, Nozel is disgusted by the corpses littering the place, and he allows Zora to go off on his own. Nozel and Noelle are attacked by an elf, but Nozel easily defends and knocks out the possessed Knight, rebuking the elf for losing composure. He then noticee that the strongest presence seemd to be coming from Solid's bedroom.

Nozel crashes through the window and shields his younger brother from large compass needles. Noelle follows up with a Sea Dragon's Roar directed at the elf, which surprises Nozel. The spell is deflected out of the tower, so Nebra takes the chance to hide their escape. Refusing to allow them to run away, the elf uses Another Atlas to disrupt the mana in the room, and Nozel's shields start dissolving. When the elf attacks again, however, Nozel manages to block the needles and suffers minor injuries. Nozel orders his siblings to stay back because they cannot fight, but Noelle refuses. Nozel then asks her to help show the elf the power of House Silva. Nozel continues to block compass needles while he strategizes. Noelle decides to flood the room with her Water Magic, and Nozel creates a protective shell around himself and his siblings. When Kivn is forced to release her spell, Nozel quickly strikes and binds her with his Mercury Magic. Nozel compliments Noelle's strength and apologizes for his mistreatment of her. Suddenly Nozel is pierced by three needles and collapses as Kivn raises a larger and stronger Another Atlas. Noelle unlocks a Valkyrie Dress to protect her siblings, which reminds Nozel of their mother. After Noelle defeats Kivn, more elves arrive to fight. Zora also arrives and brings Paplo Espuma, a healer for Nebra and Nozel. Zora taunts Nozel for not protecting his family, which motivates Nozel to reinforce his body with magic and to forego healing. Zora enables the two siblings to see where he laid traps, which the two use to help them defeat the elves. Afterward Nozel rests and receives treatment in Bubble Refresher. Nozel finishes recovering as Fuegoleon and Mereoleona arrive at the castle. Nozel notes that Fuegoleon has the spirit Salamander. Before the gate to the Shadow Palace closes, Nozel carries Asta and Noelle, while Fuegoleon carries Mereoleona and Mimosa Vermillion and while the Black Bulls and Kirsch Vermillion fight off more possessed Golden Dawns. After passing through the gate, the group is scattered throughout the Shadow Palace. Nozel made his way to the eleventh chamber when he feels Patolli's swelling magic. After Asta and Yuno deflect the dark elf's Light Shaft of Divine Punishment, Nozel saves them from a second one. He spreads his mercury around the chamber and traps Patolli within a silver cage that reflects all of the dark elf's attacks back at him. Nozel then acknowledges Asta and Yuno as rivals for the Wizard King title. He restrains and prepares to kill Patolli, but Asta stops him. Yuno explains that it is also William's body and that Asta can break the spell with the Demon-Destroyer Sword. Asta was unsuccessful but does free Patolli from his depression, and the elf offers to help the humans. Nozel and the others feel Zagred's magic power surge, and when it comes flooding down from the upper chamber, Nozel manages to avoid it. Nozel decides to send Asta, Yuno, and Patolli up to fight Zagred while he and Mimosa head down to gather together the others. As they are flying through the corridors, Nozel and Mimosa are surprised when Licht draws on Rhya's and Ronne's magic to help power a spell to destroy the devil.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Nozel Silva was a slender male with fair skin, narrow purple eyes, and small eyebrows. He had pale, silver-white hair that was worn in a very distinctive style that was occasionally remarked upon by others.

As a noble, he seemed to be an arrogant man who believed himself superior to others. He took the position of Magic Knight very seriously and held himself as well as his siblings to a high standard. In fact, he would scold his siblings if he felt that House Silva had failed in their duty.

Though arrogant, he showed signs of caring for and respecting people close to him. He had said that he would avenge Fuegoleon after he was injured by the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

Normally, it was rare for him to show emotion though he was belligerent when annoyed. He had expressed an open dislike for fellow Captain Yami Sukehiro and had insulted him on multiple occasions.

A member of House Silva (シルヴァ家 Shiruva-ke), he was the eldest son of noblewoman Acier Silva (アシエ・シルヴァ Ashie Shiruva) who had been a particularly powerful Magic Knight.

The youngest was a sister named Noelle Silva (ノエル・シルヴァ Noeru Shiruva) where after her birth their mother came to die. Nozel did not show any open affection for any of his siblings but demonstrated a particular disdain for Noelle as he blamed her for the death of their mother. However, this was simply a mask to hide his fear of losing his youngest sister who looked much like their mother. After seeing her grow strong and develop, Nozel came to apologise to her for his behavior.
