Nolan is a very advanced magic user and can conduct almost any spell. He has things which he uses mostly or excels in and those are listed below.

Anti-Magic: Nolan possesses a very rare and powerful magic that can literally consume other magic. This magic could be used to make magically enchanted items lose all their magical properties, it could stop spells, and it could even consume a witch's magic and in turn: kill them. However the downside to this ability is that the consumed magic has to go somewhere, and it goes into Nolan. If he doesn't watch what he is doing, he could literally give himself a heart attack from consuming too much magic.

Enchantments: Nolan is able to enchant items incredibly well. He's enchanted multiple items he uses everyday, below are what he has enchanted and what the enchantments do.

Contact Lens - Nolan's eyesight isn't bad but he wears contacts for magical purposes. He has enchanted them in order to see the 'true faces' of everything. This means that no creature, demon, or angel can hide from him. Thanks to the lens he is able to withstand the sight of angels as well; which most humans cannot.

Boots - These boots are enchanted so that they will not wear out. He is able to walk on nails or burning hot coals without having to worry about anything coming through or burning the boots.

Gun - Nolan has enchanted his gun in order to make his regular bullets do other things. This enchantment can turn his bullets into silver, palo santo, iron, copper, or any other material that he needs on a hunt.

Magic Strings: Nolan is able to create magical threads to control puppets like marionettes. The threads basically move the puppets by their joints, but can also activate any traps and hidden weapons. Any number of magic threads can be used to control a puppet, but Nolan is able to control one puppet with just one finger if he needs to. His limit of puppets he can control at once for the moment is ten, one for each finger.

The strings are constructs made from very concentrated magic so, they can be seen by people besides the user. Nolan can suppress the magic so that the strings become invisible, however it takes more concentration. These strings essentially act as an extension of Nolan which allows him to manipulate whatever is attached to the strings such as hidden weaponry in a puppet as he pleases. Magic can also be transferred via the strings, such as to activate abilities that the puppets can use. The strings can also be attached to other objects, allowing Nolan to control, or at the very least disrupt other things. It's possible that the strings could be used to trip someone or control someone like a puppet.

Voice Manipulation: He's able to use magic to mimic people's voices and to even throw them or his own to make it seem as if they are coming from somewhere else.

Magical Poisons: Nolan has created his own magical poisons which he can use when he sees fit. He possesses a cure for all four of his poisons as well.

Purple Poison - The purple colored poison causes supernatural abilities to completely go out of whack. This means that a creature may show their true form, fangs, claws, etc on accident. Powers will act wonky, not obeying the user and can actually be quite dangerous.

Green Poison - The green colored poison causes someone to become very ill, making them physically weak, nausea, extremely tired, and causing cold sweats.

Blue Poison - The blue colored poison causes temporary memory loss, and also can open someone's mind up to being manipulated easily.

Red Poison - The red colored poison is the most lethal of the four poisons. It causes paranoia, delusions/illusions that make a person go mad, cold sweats, their skin to go pale, and eventual death if they are not helped.

The key is an ankh which he keeps around his neck on a chain.

This puppet is able to shoot magical blasts from it's eyes that cause burns. It's able to travel into the land of the dead (Spirit Realm), and can take anyone who is attached to it with magical strings along with it. It's most powerful ability however would have to be that of bringing back the dead. It's able to reanimate nearby corpses and bones, causing them to do whatever the wielder of the puppet commands. - There is also a hidden ability that will be revealed by me when the time is right - It's wrists can release smoke bombs and a scythe can unfold out of it's right arm. Last but not least, it's stomach region opens up and there are containers inside that hold Nolan's different magical poisons.

Thomas - Thomas is a six foot tall puppet that resembles a man. Thomas is often cloaked with magic by Nolan, in order for him to look and and seem like a real man. By using his voice manipulation, he is also able to create a whole new voice for this guy, making it impossible to tell that he's not a living being. Thomas often times carries a large basket, big enough for Nolan to fit in which he hides inside while Thomas carries him around. Nolan controls his puppet from the inside and can make it seem as if Thomas is a complete human being of his own. The basket itself is enchanted with magic so that Nolan can't be sensed within it and the basket cannot be easily broken at all.

As for weapons, every single part of Thomas' body has a weapon within that can be used. He can detach all sorts of parts of his body to use weapons like folding blades, needles, smoke bombs, etc.

Likes (At Least 3):
❤ Cupcakes - Real men eat cupcakes.

❤ People - He's a people person, he loves meeting new people and weirdly enough he usually instantly cares for anyone he meets... Hell he even cares about people he doesn't know. It's a bit of a curse he'd say; to care that much.

❤ Runts - You know those little hard candies? Yes. Yum. He loves the hearts and bananas the most.

❤ Lucien - He trusts him and he believes that he can save the world.

❤ Being Alone - Nolan tends to spend a lot of time alone. He feels very much the outcast.

Dislikes (At Least 3):
✗ Artificial Green Apple Flavoring - Yuck. No thank you.

✗ Passive Aggression - He hates that crap.

✗ Bullies - Come on, cut it out. He doesn't stand for bullying and will step in if he sees it happening.

✗ Arguing - It's a waste of time and energy. He hates it, he hates the feeling it brings.

Fears (At Least 2):
☬ Feeling Like He Did While A Kid - When he was younger he was very much a geek. He still is technically, but he was a dorky kid who got made fun of for his love of puppets. He hated that feeling and still has nightmares about it.

☬ His Secret Being Revealed - He's The Puppeteer, and his secret is one thing he doesn't want to get out because not only will witches be after him... And hunters alike but they might go after people he know to get to him and he can't have that.

Goals (At Least 1):
★ To Take Down The Black Rose Coven

Personality: Nolan is a great guy. He's sweet and caring, and he shows it in his polite mannerisms. He can be very much the gentleman, opening doors for others, pulling chairs out, taking coats, and things of that nature. He doesn't have a problem talking with people but he can be bashful, not liking too much attention on things about him and when he gets a compliment he turns red like a street light.

All in all, he just wants to help people and if that is by hunting, helping with something magical, or just lending an ear to someone then that is what he'll do. He's incredibly trust worthy and will put everyone else's life before his own... Maybe a bit too much. He's too willing to sacrifice his own happiness for someone else's and he doesn't care what he has to do to protect or help them. And once he's said he's going to do something, he does it. He's a man of his word, and he doesn't like to be a liar by not sticking by what he says.

He's kind of a geek, being able to create puppets. He's always had a strange fascination with them and it's carried over into his adulthood but he's no where near as geeky as he was a little boy. In other words you can really say he hit puberty and turned into a big tough looking guy that he, nor anyone else thought he would become. Nolan is also very adaptable, being able to be put into different situations and adapting to them. It's how he is able to get into coven's so easily that he takes down. He has no problem putting on a character and becoming someone he isn't necessarily to get somewhere he needs to be. He's a very open person and he sees people for their souls, not what they look like or what species, gender, or what job they have.

History:

Nolan was always a quiet little boy who kept to himself. At an early age he took a liking to marionettes, puppets, and ventriloquists. Unlike other kids, he spent more time alone than he did with others and he was teased and bullied about his puppet love. However if a bully ever tried to get physical with Nolan, he easily put them in their place thanks for being trained by his uncle Peter. His uncle taught him how to fight, and how to use magic at a very young age as he was prepping him to become a Guardian of Pandora's Box. So he may of been a bit of a scrawny kid, but he knew how to use his small body to his advantage and it took the bullies off guard.

It was around the same time that Peter was teaching him things from the Crawford side, that Nolan's father began to teach him magic from his side of the family. Nolan was phenomenal with it all, and picked up on things rather quickly. Not only did he learn how to conduct spells but he learned how to create them, how to create potions, and all kinds of knowledge regarding the magical world; which he'd continue to learn for years and years to come.

By mid-high school he began to really develop more physically and he wasn't just a scrawny little kid anymore. He even played football a bit in school, and that's where he met his fried Aaron Bradford. Aaron and Nolan became friends like nothing, they were best friends. Aaron wasn't a shy guy usually but there was something about a girl in school that gave him cold feet, Aaron thought she was beautiful but he was too nervous to go up to her... So he talked Nolan in doing it for him. Nolan talked to Jenna and explained how he had a friend who was interested in her and got her home phone number for his friend and the rest is history; as the two would eventually marry in years to come. But we're getting too far ahead of ourselves.

Jenna Donovan was a beautiful girl, and she didn't have a problem with making friends in school. However, she had a bit of a secret that only Nolan seemed to catch onto. He noticed things happened around Jenna that wasn't normal, in fact it was magical. When he confronted her about it, he learned that she had no idea what exactly was happening and she was freaking out. So Nolan being the kind guy he was, he offered her his help and explained that he was a witch too. Throughout the end of the school years and a little after, he continued to teach her a bit of things and became sort of her mentor with all things witchcraft.

After he graduated high school, he began to take on some of his own personal projects... As in hunting down evil covens. He learned how to hunt from his Uncle Peter, as it was something that needed to be taught in order to become a guardian like him. He immersed himself in the world of covens and learned everything he could about them and what they gain out of having a coven. All the while, Nolan went into college which was a lot of pressure and it was a bit chaotic for Nolan as he had to juggle both school work and magic work but he managed to do it and he went through a couple years of college.

While in college, he began to infiltrate evil covens and destroy them from the inside. After doing so he’d leave a puppet hanging by marionette strings in the coven’s main base, and that gifted him the nickname of; “The Puppeteer” which became infamous among both witches and hunters alike. The biggest coven he took out during this time went by the name of the Order of Anubis. They were an evil coven that was using a relic to manipulate the dead to do their bidding. After destroying them completely, Nolan took the relic for himself and created a puppet that resembled the Egyptian God Anubis and put the stone relic into it; gifting the puppet the abilities that it possessed.

After his couple years of college, Nolan went into the police academy for training, which lasted for a little more than 3 months. After becoming a police officer he eventually came in contact with a woman by the name of Susannah Taylor who was the professor of anthropology and folklore at a university. He spoke with her to find out details about mythological stories and such that she seemed to be mastered in and learned a lot from her. He learned that her husband was an archaeologist and over time when Nolan would take powerful artifacts from evil witches or covens, he would pass it on to them in order for them to look over them all.

In 2005, Nolan found a coven that was stealing innocent people and using their souls to power their own magic who went by the name of Vitality. It was the first time he heard of a witch being able to harness the power of a soul and he managed to save some of the people that the witches had taken. Among the people were two young children named Nick and Amy Mattingly. The two were siblings, and sadly their parents weren’t as fortunate to survive the coven. After saving them, Nolan contacted his old friends Jenna and Aaron Bradford, who he had the children go stay with for a while. Nolan stayed in contact with the siblings throughout the years, and Nolan even taught them a little about what was out there and taught Amy what she would need to know to become a hunter herself.

After about five years of being an active police officer, Nolan was promoted to detective which he was working hard to become. Soon after it was time for his Uncle to retire from being a Guardian. However instead of Nolan being chosen for the Guardian position, it was his younger cousin, Drake who was chosen to take his place. Whether it was because of his age or if it was because they didn’t want to bring another witch’s family into the Guardian’s, Nolan didn’t know or mind. He had his own purpose and liked to work alone.

Sometime in 2010, Nolan had shot a criminal and killed him. The man had gone after his partner with a knife and if he didn't, he would of killed him. After the shooting, Nolan was put on break and he decided to go to New Orleans. There he discovered a voodoo coven called the Crimson Magnolias, which were stealing bodies from coffins for their own dark rituals. The coven not only was stealing bones and bodies, they were binding the spirit’s of the bodies to do their will. They used these spirits to kill people, steal things, or cause total destruction down in New Orleans. However, they weren’t the only thing Nolan discovered. He came across a group known as The New Orleans Vigilantes, who had a reputation around the city. Some called them a myth while others claimed to have seen them, the stories mixed with true and false witnesses. Nolan aided the group in taking down the coven from the shadows. He hid in the dark while he used his magic to help assist them and he successfully escaped before ever being noticed by the vigilantes.

After returning from leave, he had to talk with the police psychologist and he went back to working. After a couple years he was approached by a woman named Nikki Smiles who came to him for his assistance. She didn’t know what she was, and Nolan gave her his word that he’d find out… However that promise was hard to keep as he couldn't figure out what she was. By using his enchanted contacts he could see that she had a strange glowing aura to her, but he didn’t know what it meant and the only time he had seen it before was in New Orleans… Within the vigilantes. In the end, they exchanged contact information and Nolan continued to look for the answer to what she was.

The most recently, Nolan has joined a group of individuals who follow a man named Lucien... Not just a man, a God. Nolan had thought that Lucien was evil and he did his usual tactics when dealing with a coven, he planned to join and destroy it from inside. He was going to get close to this 'God' and gank him but it turned out that he was actually the real deal and he was actually helping people.
