Nacht Faust

Nacht (ナハト) is the vice-captain of the Clover Kingdom's Black Bull squad of the Magic Knights and the host of the devil Gimodelo. He is also a former member of the Grey Deer squad.

Appearance
Nacht is a young man with fair skin and a soft facial structure. He has long dark hair that is pulled up into a high ponytail.

Nacht wears a dark-colored jacket with four buttons on the high collar. He has four light-colored belts around his waist and another pair of belts below with his grimoire pouch hanging off the left. His grimoire pouch has the Black Bull's insignia. His dark-colored pants are tucked into light-colored boots, which have sets of four belts.

When using some of his devil's power, Nacht sprouts a pair of black horns from his forehead, and black markings extend down from the horns to his cheeks.

During his time as a member of the Azure Deer squad, Nacht wears its squad robe over a light-colored jacket and dark-colored belts.

Personality
Nacht is a pragmatic and logical person. He knows that Asta has no chance of saving Yami from the Dark Triad alone. He believes that losing a fight is the loser's own fault and considers losers to be idiots.

Nacht is not shy about expressing whether or not he likes someone. He is also unafraid of expressing his dislike of all the Magic Knight captains to their faces.

During his time as a Grey Deer, Nacht has a more jovial personality, but the time he spent in the Spade Kingdom has changed him.

Biography
Nacht and Yami Sukehiro meet in the Grey Deer squad of the Magic Knights. After Yami becomes captain of the new Black Bull squad, he decides to name Nacht the vice-captain. Nacht visits the base once before going undercover in the Spade Kingdom.

Nacht infiltrates the Spade Kingdom's Royal Palace and searches through the documents in Dante Zogratis's room. A Dark Disciple discovers him, so Nacht disappears into a shadow and then pulls the Disciple down into his shadow. Nacht emerges from the shadows and walks away.

That night, Nacht returns to the Clover Kingdom and catches Asta leaving the infirmary. Nacht restrains the young Magic Knight, talks him down from hastily chasing after the captured Yami Sukehiro, and then introduces himself, revealing that he knows how to use a devil's power. He also introduces his devil, Gimodelo, before releasing his spell and letting Asta stand back up. Nacht explains that he has been undercover in the Spade Kingdom the whole time. Asta asks to learn how to use his devil's power, but Nacht refuses and instead insists that he rest.

The next day, Nacht slips into the captains' meeting and interrupts, complimenting their motivation but criticizing the mess they made of the meeting. He rises up out of a shadow with Asta under his arm. The captains move to attack the intruder, but Nacht uses his devil power to summon four masked beasts to stop them. Julius vouches for Nacht's identity, and Jack notes that Nacht's magic has changed. Nacht hands over the documents from Dante's room and explains the process for the Tree of Qliphoth. Rill Boismortier wonders why the Dark Triad are doing this, and Nacht claims that they are evil and their motivations are incomprehensible. In order to retrieve Yami and William and to destroy the Tree of Qliphoth, Nacht wishes to train Asta and his Anti Magic and to build a team around Asta.

Yami
