Nihhon-koku, Tenebrae and Solheim, Jutland, Lestallum, Concordia, Nibelheim-Saxe-Hanover, Basel-Ebel, Rhodeia and Altissia from 5 June 2008. He was the last Lucian Monarch of Gallia-Bruhl, ruling briefly from 2008 to 2010. He is also the 131st Emperor of Nihhon-koku, and the first native-born Nihhonese Emperor after 137 years; being born and raised in Nihhon-koku.
Noctis was the first Lucis Monarch born outside of Lucis since his 6th Great-Grandfather, Georgius II (who was born in the German state of Brunswick in Germania). As the youngest son of Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder brother, Regius. After Regius relinquished his claims due to his affair, Noctis inherited the title of Prince of Lucis. From 2005 to 2007, Noctis served in the Royal Air Force and rose to the rank of Group Captain. As a young man, He was loved by his sisters; especially his grandfather, The former King Regis Lucis Caelum CXII. He was also a skilled fisherman as the two always spent their time by the river or lake. He was also a vineyard worker and currently manages the plot. He served in the RAF and afterward took on the usual round of public engagements. He married Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret following the Second Lucis Civil War and has 2 children together.
Today, Noctis enjoys the popularity of the crown and support of the people. He is also regarded as one of the world's most active heads of state as well as taking credit for his immediate plans for restoring the UK after the Second Lucis Civil War.
Early Life
Noctis was born in the Herrenhausen Cottage at the Leine Palace in Akihabara in Nihhon-koku. He is the youngest of Regis and Aulea's children and grew up to be a very loved son. His grandfather, Regis Lucis Caelum CXII said that Noctis is his favorite grandchild ever since his older brother, Regius fell out of his favor due to his disobedience. His sisters, Marianne and Alicia loved the young child and would always play with him despite their busy schedules. In 1993, He was anointed as the Prince-Elector of Vasel, a city and province in Gallia-Bruhl (which was a commonwealth realm at that time) after his father relinquished the title. He then visited Bruhl when his father came to meet with his best friend, Belgen Gunther. Regis and Belgen were camarades during the Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis and Belgen never lost faith on his counterpart. It was here where Noctis met his best friend and future aide, Welkin Gunther. The two had one thing in common; They were both sons of popular figures in their country. Welkin and Noctis loved to play a lot and Noctis's sisters would always come to play with the two. This lasting friendship would continue to be the unbreakable bond that the two men currently have.
At the age of 7, He met his future wife and Queen, Lunafreya Nox Fleuret.
Reign
Second Lucis Civil War
His reign as King started during the first month of the Second Lucis Civil War. Along with his mother, Luna, friends and relatives; He evacuated from Lucis to Tristain la-Fontaine where his friend, Queen Henrietta of Tristain offered refuge to the Lucian and Northern Niflheimian Refugees. Accordo was still free from control as well as Northern Niflheim but the provinces had turned into a fully militarized zone and Tristain was the safest. From 2008 to 2010, He ruled Lucis from Tristain for 1 Year before he himself returned to Lucis to command the Lucis Armed Forces, being the first King in the modern times to do so.
Post-War Recovery
In 9 January 2010; Noctis finally declared the end of the war with his new Prime Minister Ignis Stupeo Scientia. On his first day in Dettingen Palace, He initiated his first Royal prerogative, ordering the reconstruction of damaged cities in the UK. Prime Minister Ignis Stupeo Scientia launched UK Plan 2010, which aimed to restore all cities by 2012.
Various engineering firms were requested by the Lucian Parliament to aid in the rebuilding. These firms were from Nihhon-koku, Zanarkand, Rubrum, New Akiba, Gallia-Bruhl and other Commonwealth nations, including the Erebonian Empire and Alteria went to Lucis and Niflheim to restore the cities. Allied nations such as Quenmin, Joyonghea, Bethausia donated and sent in engineering firms to aid with the reconstruction.
He was crowned on the 8 August 2010 together with his wife, Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in the restoration to the throne in the presence of their friends, relatives, and peoples from across the Commonwealth. The coronation was watched by nearly 2 billion people worldwide. The restoration of Lucian Crown was a momentous event and was regarded as "The Greatest Event of the New Decade".
Noctis officiated the burial of his father Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII who was shot at the start of the war. He had his father's body lay-in-state in Insomnia for 5 days before it was enclosed in a refrigerated case in the Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII Royal Open Cemetery. It was open to the public for viewing guarded by the Coldstream Guards. Noctis hired his Dalmascan friend, Harry Kowalski to preserve his father's body. His grandfather, Regis Lucis Caelum CXII and Alicia Reize Arnor returned to the UK from Erebonia to attend the mourning.
Independence of Gallia-Bruhl
On 21 February 2010; Noctis issued the Randgriz Agreement since he heeded that there was a need to finally return Gallia to its native rulers. Welkin Gunther, his aide, childhood, and best friend fully supported and guided him. He insisted the establishment of a new position within the government; The Regent Lord of Gallia-Bruhl since Gallian Prime Ministers were often known for corrupting their positions. Noctis had his friend and the Archduchess-designate Cordelia gi Randgriz to appoint her Regent Lord. Ever since the independence, the Regent Lord's position has been in vote.
In 18 August 2010, at Randgriz Palace in front of many civilians, Noctis personally lowered down the Lucian Flag while Welkin raised the Gallian flag, signifying the end of the rule of the Lucis Crown over Gallia for 190 Years. After the return of the crown, Gallia still retains its Commonwealth laws while others were revised. The Lucis Jack and the old Gallian Blue Ensign lost its status as the official flag but it was allowed to be waved under the Gallian Flag Law of 2011 but only in certain occasions such as a visit of a Royal or Commonwealth official, an anniversary of a battle, or over in war memorials and landmarks where the presence of Lucian troops were evident.

Personal Life
Noctis is very shy and quiet in his early life. Growing up, he was not expected to inherit the throne until 2005, when his older brother Regius was disinherited for a plot to take the throne. His elder brother died a few years later due to bouts of malaria. As the first native-born Nihhonese Lucian Monarch, Noctis was not shy of his identity, having both Lucian and Nihhonese blood. He said, "I am not afraid nor ashamed of my roots. My Nihhonese-ness is in everything I do. My Lucianess is in everything I do as much. It's in the spirit of who I am. I'm equally polite as politeness from both are just two sides of the same coin. I was born and raised in Nihhon-koku; I was raised and taught in Lucis. I speak English and Nihhonese fluently. I'm both the King and Emperor, and it doesn't bother me that much so long as I serve my people to my fullest capacity."
Despite being known as a reserved person, He grew up and is best friends with several future ministers that included Tenebraean Prime Minister Prompto Argentum, Lucian Prime Minister Ignis Stupeo Scientia, and Minister Gladiolus Amiticia. During a visit to Gallia-Bruhl, he came to know Welkin Gunther, the son of his father's close friend, General Belgen Gunther. From here, Noctis and Welkin became best friends. Later in his life, he find it hard to speak publicly and purposely avoided his classes. He was also prone to stammering but his best friend, Welkin guided him in his struggle until he no longer needed a guide to speak in public.
Noctis, unlike his predecessors before him often leaves the palace to roam around the countryside. He also made numerous visits throughout the Commonwealth, particularly his country of birth, Nihhon-koku. He personally owns residences in Rubrum, Zanarkand, and New Akiba and prefers staying there rather than the Monarch's official residences.
In addition, he visits various military establishments to raise morale, taking with him his best friend and aide. He is close friends with Field Marshal Snow Villiers and General (later, Field Marshal) Kiriya Kitagawa. Because of his closeness with the latter, he formed close and deep friendships within Kitagawa's formation, Task Force 141 and 142.
As the King of the United Kingdom, He wears the Ring of the Lucii, an ancient Lucian artifact that is believed to access the power of the crystal hidden deep at Dettingen Palace until the restoration of the crystal into its pedestal. He is also a descendant of Dath'Remar, an ancient Europan Hero that united Europa from the UK to Remiferia to from Europea. It has been said that if his warhammer can be wielded by one, He is confirmed as a true descendant of him. Noctis has ever since kept the warhammer from public eyes until the Commonwealth Crisis when he dueled with Ravus Nox Fleuret whom he managed to kill when the latter tried to use the greathammer against him.
Marriage to Luna
In a time when royals were expected to marry fellow royals, it was unusual that Noctis had a great deal of freedom in choosing a prospective wife. An infatuation with the already-married Lucian socialite Claire Farron came to an end in April 2005 when the King, with the promise of the dukedom of Herrenhausen, persuaded Noctis to stop seeing her. That year, he met for the first time since childhood Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Fleuret and Wallendar. He became determined to marry her. She rejected his proposal twice, in 2006 and 2007, reportedly because she was reluctant to make the sacrifices necessary to become a member of the royal family. In the words of Lady Fleuret's mother, Noctis would be "made or marred" by his choice of wife.
When he declared he would marry no other by his own words that "Her pure heart, soul and character she had made me think that there's no one else.", his mother, Aulea Lucis Caelum, visited Lady Fleuret at Tenebrae to see for herself the girl who had stolen her son's heart. She became convinced that Luna was "the one girl who could make Nocty happy", but nevertheless refused to interfere.
On the night of 24 December 2007, Noctis spent the Christmas night with her and the two shared a romantic moment, reminiscing their childhood memories and what the future could hold for them. Noctis had assured Luna that she would always be free to think for herself. By the following month Noctis proposed and Luna finally agreed. Before the marriage can proceed, The Second Lucis Civil War erupted on June, causing the Royal Family, including Noctis and Luna to flee to Erebonia. Their marriage took place 6 months after the end of the war on 9 June 2010. His childhood friend, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Ignis Stupeo Scientia acted as the best man while Luna had Zanakian MP and close friend Yuna Hayakawa as her maid-of-honour. During the wedding, Noctis sobbed for not having his father in his wedding. Regis died at the start of the war due to a gunshot. However, His loving mother's words comforted him.
The two spent their first honeymoon at Glasgowia, Accordo where Luna and Noctis stayed on Georgius Cottage. To Luna, "It was the most pleasant time with him". At present, the couple often take trips across the Commonwealth, as well as in Erebonia, Gallia, and Alteria.
Interest and Personal Endeavors
Noctis and Luna admitted to being fans of Nihhonese Anime, Video Games and Songs. Noctis stated that his favorite anime is Pure Engagement and has done monthly re-watch of Love Hina with Luna. He is also a video gamer as well as a listener of N-Pop. He also stated that his interest had done nothing to hinder his royal duties.
