Noise Marie

Character Outline
Noise Marie is an Exorcist and member of the religious organization the Black Order. After he was permanently blinded on a mission nine years ago and almost killed on another mission soon after, he was slated to become an experiment in the Second Exorcist Program, though he was healed by Yu Kanda and the project was shut down before any procedures could be performed.

Appearance
Marie is a dark-skinned man of large stature. He often wears the standard order uniform. In most recent chapters, Marie has been seen with his head shaved. As Marie is blind, he also wears headphones he uses to amplify his sense of hearing. His Innocence is usually on his person in the form of ten metal rings, one on each finger, from which the strings of Noel Organon are produced. He has two artificial fingers on his right hand to replace the two Akuma Virus infected fingures, which he cut off.

Personality
Marie is typically a quiet, calm person, typically acting as the voice of reason for General Tiedoll's unit; he usually acts as a buffer between the other three members, protecting the Tiedoll from Kanda's anger, trying to keep Daisya from angering Kanda, and urging Tiedoll on when he gets distracted. After an accident on a mission that blinded him years ago, while he was recovering in Asian Branch he was approached by Bak Chang, who apologized and said that Marie must have hated them. Marie, though, said that he didn't mind, and that after losing so many comrades that dying would be a relief. After Kanda saved Marie from becoming a Second Exorcist and explained it to him, Maire admitted that he was angry with the Order, but that he was also more happy and grateful that he had met Kanda.

History
Marie has been with the Order for a long time. During Yu Kanda's memory flash back to around nine years ago, Marie is seen at the Asian Branch with blood stained bandages around his eyes, having received the injury that blinded him during a mission in which the entire rest of his team was killed. He tells a concerned young Bak Chang he can still play besides his injury and that his playing on his Innocence is a tribute to his fallen comrades who are in Heaven. He and Bak are then shocked when a dripping wet young boy climbs out of the river and falls injured next to them. Noise helps pick the boy up and removes a spike from his back, unbeknown that this the young Yu Kanda and this would mark the first meeting of the two in their lives. Later, it appears as though Noise is mortally wounded by Akuma and about to be adopted into the Second Exorcist project.

As Kanda is planning his escape he walks past a fatally wounded Noise laying on a table. Noticing the large wound on his head, Kanda places his hand on Noise's forehead; causing some of the blood from his cut up hand to drop into Marie's open wound. Kanda's blood causes Noise to regenerate, sealing up the wound; leaving a scar in the shape of Kanda's tattoo; and wake up from his death-like state. Kanda takes Marie with him in search of Alma, but Marie is further wounded by Alma during a battle between him and Kanda. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards, but the data book indicates that within the next year, Kanda joined General Tiedoll's team -- and, of course, Tiedoll is Marie's General as well.

Edo arc
Marie is first seen traveling with the team seeking General Tiedoll, composed of Kanda Yu, Daisya Barry, and himself. They eventually track down the General, but not before Daisya Barry is killed by a Noah (Tyki Mikk). General Tiedoll refuses to abandon his mission (defeat Akuma and recover Innocence) to return to Headquarters, so Kanda and Marie join him. The team eventfully makes it to Edo and help the severely outmatched Cross's team. Marie quickly stops several combined Akuma while his team destroys them. When the Earl levels the area Marie retreats to find somewhere safe and rejoins the battle against the Earl and the Noahs.

When the Earl leaves everyone retreats to a bridge for cover and a break. Marie hears something strange and a portal opens under their feet sucking in Allen, Lavi, Kanda, Lenalee, and Chaoji. The group is intermediately attacked by combined Akuma. Marie helps force them back until he hears a very strange noise and they find Noah's ark in the sky. Marie keeps fighting until there are no more Akuma. He goes back to headquarters and takes a break. When the Ark disappears, he expresses devastation with the rest; when it reappears, he is likewise overjoyed. After everything, he is one of the bed-ridden Exorcists in the Infirmary. He's seen complaining about having super-hearing while near Crowley, whose stomach is incredibly loud, and also telling Kanda to give up resisting Tiedoll (who made him a sweater).

HQ Invasion arc
When hordes of Akuma swarm headquarters, Marie and Miranda Lotto are ordered to the scene, as two of the few Exorcists whose Innocence are functional. When Miranda attempts to keep the egg from disappearing through a portal via her time-based Innocence, the Noah Lulu Bell launches an attack to incapacitate her, while using Miranda as a shield to take the egg behind. The Generals prepare to sacrifice Miranda in order to keep the egg, and Marie becomes incredibly upset, shouting wildly, absolutely panicked, begging them not to do it. Happily, Allen saves Miranda, and for the remainder of the arc, Marie is never shown not holding her.



While holding Miranda (overlooked by Bookman), Noise hears something horrible and recognizes it as an Akuma. The Level 4 "awakens", fighting Allen, and damages the surrounding area. Eventually, the Akuma is defeated, and Marie is seen telling a conscious but exhausted Miranda that she's done well and she can stop.

When the Black Order moved its headquarters, Noise is one of the people that became a zombie, courtesy of an oddly tender neck-bite from Miranda. He is eventually cured with the rest of the Black Order members.

Phantom Thief G arc
Much later, Marie joins a team of Allen Walker, Howard Link, and Kanda on a mission to investigate missing Finders. The Finders ended up in jail without any memory of how they'd landed there, and dressed in bizarre, identical costumes. Thanks to Marie's ability to trace the "unique" cries of "Thief G", they discover that the culprit is a boy named Timothy who can take control of anyone using Innocence.

When they find the boy, Kanda notices an odd jewel on his forehead. Kanda threatens to take Timothy back to the Black Order by force, and Marie apologizes for his behavior. Akuma attack the orphanage where Timothy and the exorcists are. They are immediately thrown up against another Level 4. Noise helps defeat the weaker Akuma while Allen and Kanda handle the Level 4.

The Level 4 then morphs his hands into Gatling guns, first knocking off and damaging Noise's headphones, then striking him between two fingers with one Blood Bullet. Before the virus can fully spread, Noise quickly slices off the two fingers with his strings.

Marie returns to headquarters with Timothy making him an exorcist. Noise is later given a mission in Istanbul and makes a stop at the Asian headquarters for supplies and some information on the area.

While the North American base suffers an attack by the Millennium Earl and other Noah, Noise, along with Lavi, Bookman, and Chaozii are attacked by Fiidora at Mount Huang, China.

After the battle and the subsequent capture of Lavi and Bookman, Marie returns to headquarters with the injured Chaozii and the Finders.

In the most recent chapter, when Lenalee says the order is trying hard to find Allen, but can't, he comments "As expected of General Cross's disciple you could say." referring to how the order couldn't find Cross until he came out of hiding during the Noah's Ark arc.

Powers and Abilities
Enhanced Hearing: After losing his sight some years ago, Marie learned to rely on his hearing to observe the world around him. Since that time he has been given a pair of headphones, which he uses to amplify his already sharp hearing which allows him to do things from determining how many enemies there are in an area to checking on the vital signs of allies from well over several meters away.

Innocence


Noel Organon (聖人ノ詩篇 (ノエル・オルガノン), Noeru Oruganon): Ten rings on each of Marie's fingers which allow for offense by forming strings used to capture a victim and conduct music that paralyzes the Akuma. It has shown to be able to incapacitate even multiple Giant Akuma. He can also use the strings to wrap around Akuma or other surfaces and slice things with his strings. He uses this ability to kill multiple Level 1 Akuma at once, and to cut off his own fingers which struck by an Akuma's bullet.


 * Second Release: Aria of Grief (第2解放嘆きノ旋律, Dai 2 kaihō nageki no senritsu): Marie wraps the target in his strings and claps his hands, causing a rancorous sound that is poisonous to Akuma to resonate through the target
