Raphael serves as scouter and ambassador to Sanctuary, and trains under the direction of Iggy. This dashing Noivern is rather loyal to the Delphox, eternally grateful for the help he has provided him.

Story

The Betrayed Noivern

Raphael comes from a noble family, sent on a royal quest to take down a certain witch who has been harvesting other Noivern from the settlement. Raphael flew far, tracking down the witch as she retreated deeper into the wilderness. Confronting her finally, he did not expect her arsenal of ice-based attacks, and he was nearly killed. He took a while to recover before flying back to the safety of his kingdom, but he had been replaced. Even when he made himself known, he was rejected, already thought to have failed and been killed.

Fuming with rage, the Noivern flew away as an outcast, knowing better than to try to attack his family and the kingdom as a whole.

Meeting Iggy

The Noivern stumbled upon the Sanctuary one day, his heart broken and his body still greatly injured. Iggy took in the Noivern, mending his wounds and trying to console him. Once the Noivern was in full health once again, Iggy offered a place for him within Sanctuary, but Iggy would soon know of Raphael's greatest vice: his yearning for vengeance. Raphael asked Iggy to train him to become stronger so that he can take down his entire kingdom. The Delphox rejected, knowing the consequences of passionate revenge.

Raphael was not pleased with this response, and challenged Iggy to a battle. The Noivern was easily taken down by the aged Delphox. Humbled, the Noivern pleaded for forgiveness, and Iggy obliged. Raphael now serves the Sanctuary, Iggy still helping the royal Noivern work on his vices and his rage.

Malgam's Arrival

Raphael has seen with his own eyes one of the Sanctuary denizens, a Dratini, being swallowed whole by an Eevee. He confronts this Eevee and his Braixen companion, but they manage to freeze him. Eventually, Iggy comes by and releases him, allowing the injured and irritated Noivern to lead him to the intruders and then subsequently jail them.

Personality

Coming from a wealthy family, Raphael has grown a rather pious and pompous attitude, looking down on those who don't live the same way that he does. He especially looks down on those who wallow in filth and do not care for their bodies. Otherwise, the Noivern tries to maintain his own eloquence and posture, serving as an example for less civilized members of the Sanctuary. He loves to bathe and care for his skin to further stand out lavishly to others.

Despite being humbled by Iggy, Raphael still has a very short fuse, and is easily annoyed and angered by others. His strong yearning for revenge still burns, but he tries his hardest to quell the bitter flames within.

Forte/Skills

Raphael is an able flyer, using his moves from mid-air to gain an advantage over his opponent. His air-based attacks are very powerful, especially his signature move Boomburst, which deals great damage in a wide angle. He can also screech to daze his enemies and then proceed to attack them with his strong talons.
