Novir, Captain of the Fighters' Guild, can almost invariably be found in one of three places; his office at the Fighters' Guild Headquarters in Vitrun, the training grounds, or out on patrol, safeguarding the city from sand devils. As the only known kyvalorian with the ability to summon lightning, his presence can turn the tide of battle against a sand devil. The glittering spires of fulgurite he leaves behind are often taken by opportunists to forge lucky talismans.

A strong, capable fighter with a fearsome reputation and an intimidating aura, Novir speaks as if he is barking orders constantly, brusque and efficient in everything he does. This includes eating, training, cleaning, training, fighting, and more training. Fighters who have trained directly under Novir are always considered among the best of their city's guards, no matter where they end up. They talk about their training in hushed, haunted tones, recalling days of burning muscles and aching heads, pushing themselves to their physical and magical limits under Novir's stern tutelage. Given that he trains alongside his recruits even now, everyone worries about his health, but he insists that he is perfectly fit, and he'll thank them for not implying it's time for him to take his Last Voyage.

Despite his gruff demeanor, he has a soft side, particularly for young kyvalorians who don't quite know what they want to do in life yet.
