Allen Walker is a young Exorcist who has a cursed eye that can see the suffering of the Akumas created by The Millenium Earl. He travels to England to the Headquarters of the Exorcists where his Master has sent him to meet with the other Exorcists. The battle with the Millenium Earl and the Noah Family vs. the Exorcists intensifies when some of the best Exorcists begin to get killed by hoards of Akuma. Japan takes center stage in this end of 19th Century plot in order to not let the entire human race be turned into Akumas and the Exorcists have the power of "Innocence" that was given to them by God on their side.

The story's main antagonist. Also known as "the Earl of Millennium", he tricks people with dead relatives and friends into creating Akumas. He is a sorcerer from long ago, and he plans to lead the world to its death. Some time in the past he formed an alliance with the Noah family, who call him "Duke Millennium". Hoshino says she based the Earl of Millennium off a legendary alchemist/preacher (most likely the Count of St Germain or Nicolas Flamel, though in many ways he also reminiscent of Dorian Gray, possibly referenced in "Dorian Grey man" and thus "D.Gray-Man", as adapted in the film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) whose tale even claims he still may be alive somewhere.

In appearance, the Earl resembles a grotesque caricature of a Victorian gentleman -- a rotund figure in cape and top hat, with an enormous grin that remains fixed even when he is speaking and even eating, and his eyes permanently hidden behind a pair of pince-nez spectacles. In the manga, almost every one of his lines of dialog ends with a heart; in the anime, he invariably uses polite Japanese. Throughout the story, he displays two different personalities. The first is his normal cheerful, friendly, and happy attitude, almost like a friendly old uncle. With the Noah, he's a member of the family, and is particularly playful and affectionate towards Road. His other personality is one of sheer, sadistic malice, capable of happily playing with people's lives.

He wears a different hat in each encounter, each with a different decoration. In a gag comic in Volume 2 of the manga, he is shown taking off his hat, and having another set of ears. His main form of combat involves his umbrella Lero. He has also shown the ability to create massive explosions of dark energy. The Earl is also able to summon a large black sword that is the opposite of Allen's Crown Clown sword. The Earl is able to survive direct hits from an Exorcist's Innocence without taking any damage as well, as seen when Lavi engulfed him with a powerful Hi Ban attack, and even when an illusionary Earl was able to survive Allen's Cross Grave attack without taking any damage at all. During his brief fight with Allen Walker he refers to Allen's new Innocence and states that Allen resembles the "Whiteface Clown who picks on the Auguste Clown". This may be a reference that Allen is the only one who can defeat him.

The Earl recently traveled to Edo to complete the construction of a new ark to replace the old 'defective' ark. The Earl plays the tune of destruction on a piano and the white ark disappears while a black ark comes out. As the white ark is destroyed he laughs and cries even though he said to Road and Lulu Bell that he has a cold. With the black ark complete, the Earl and Noah fly away from Edo. However, due to Allen Walker's interference, the Earl was only able to download 20% of his Akuma producing 'egg'. As a result, the Earl is currently incapable of making any new Akuma, and it is implied that it will take a long time to rebuild the plant. This is the first time in the story when the Earl is seen losing his composure, his face contorted with pure seething rage.

The Earl is shown to have a human form, first seen when he visits Sheryl Kamelot at his estate with Tyki Mikk, although the Earl's face in human form was never shown. It is also the first time in the manga that he has no heart at the end of his speech. The Earl was worried about what the Black Order researched from the egg as it would ruin his plans if they knew the meaning of the Akuma's evolution, leading to "The Heart" knowing about it as well. The Earl also ponders about why he did not kill Allen on the night they have met, mentioning how he has been having dreams since he knew Allen's connection with the 14th Noah. Tyki Mikk mentions the Earl as being "human after all" and that "seeing him like that he did not look like the villain that turn the whole world against him" after watching the Earl(in human form) buy a flower from a poor girl.[1]

Lero is the Earl's talking umbrella and golem, which appears as a normal cane umbrella with the addition of a small talking jack-o-lantern on the tip. It does not do much except for screaming around, adding its own name on almost every sentence said by it. When used by Earl, it works as a flying umbrella in the style of Mary Poppins. It's very loyal to the Earl and likes to stay with him, but Road often takes Lero with her against Lero's connivance. When in her usage, he acts as a witch's broom and an umbrella. Lero also seems to be the holder of the Earl's sword when it is not in use, as seen in chapter 89 when the Earl pulls the sword out of Lero while fighting Allen Walker. Additionally, the Earl used Lero as a beacon of sorts, as seen in Volume 1 when he used it to summon a swarm of Level 1 Akuma to attack Allen. Lero was also sent to kidnap Lenalee while she was in Edo and transport her to the Ark so she could be destroyed as it downloaded and collapsed. Lero ended up taking several other Exorcists along too. Right now, Lero is reunited with the Earl.

Road Kamelot is the first Noah introduced in the D. Gray-man series, appearing to Allen, Lenalee, and Miranda in the Rewinding Town arc[2]. Despite looking as if she is in her early teens, Road is referred to as the oldest of the Noah. Road has an affinity for candies and blood, as well as a childlike enjoyment of birthday party-reminiscent themes.

Road has a plethora of supernatural abilities, ranging from the ability to travel to an alternate dimension through a door that appears at her will to complete regeneration after injury. Her dimensional space is in the form of a wrapped present, while her weapons of choice are levitating candles that can be sharpened to waxen stakes. While inside her personal dimension, she can control nonliving objects within the area; For instance, her stake-like candles fly to attack at her will. She has absolute control of everything in her dimension ranging from her appearing out of the floor, creating a copy of Lavi to crumbling his Innocence. Outside of her dimension she has displayed Telekinetic powers.

Road's personality and home life are surprisingly normal, despite her role as a villain. She has a childlike need to be entertained at all times, usually by the Earl's parasol Lero, and forces Tyki to entertain her when Lero will not. She shows a tendency to procrastinate on schoolwork, like many children her age, and appears to be in trouble for skipping classes often. It has also been confirmed at Road goes to a "normal human school", albeit it being a very expensive private school. Despite her childlike tendencies, she has also shown signs of extreme sadism and seems to enjoy watching the suffering of others, including stabbing Allen through the eye, killing an Akuma subordinate for no other reason than to anger Allen, nailing Miranda’s hands to a clock while writing profanity on the wall in her blood and even licking the blood of an exorcist.

Her relationships with the other members of the Noah family all vary on a basis quite similar to a normal family situation; She looks up to Tyki as an older brother and is very close to him, while the twins appear to bicker with her often in a sibling-like, affectionate manner. Her relationship with Lulu is a sister type relationship (as seen in the anime) but her relationship with Skin is unknown, as almost no interaction between the latter is shown in the series. She also seems to have feelings for Allen Walker, as she kisses him upon seeing him again. Tyki finds this surprising, as the only one she kissed before was the Earl.

Despite Road's young appearance, she is considered the First Child by Debitto and Jasdero, which suggests that she was the first Noah to awaken in the current generation. Due to this fact, she is the only Noah capable of programming Noah's Ark, and appears to have the favoritism of the Millennium Earl. She represents Noah's "Dreams". Road's nationality is unknown, and her information is listed as 'secret' when placed in her profile by the mangaka. She enjoys singing, as most children do, and seems to prefer a little song about the Heart of Innocence when she is shown singing in the anime. She implants this song in Yeegar's mind when she psychically attacks him, using him as a 'messenger' to carry the warning along to the Exorcists.


Road was stabbed through the chest by Lavi in the dreamscape created in his mind, after he figured out that her "real" body was disguised as Allen in the dimensional space. Lero later found her body horribly burned by Lavi's Fire Seal. However, much to everyone's surprise, Road suddenly stands up and starts laughing like a lunatic. Her last word was Allen's name before bursting into light, much like Skin did after being slain by Kanda. However, she mysteriously survived and is seen talking with the Earl as he attempts to destroy the old Noah's Ark. She is also seen talking to the Noah Sheryl Kamelot at a ball, who Road has another close relation to as his adopted daughter.

When she reappears in chapter 158, it's not only revealed that she has an adoptive family, the Noah Sheryl Kamelot and his wife Tricia, she also comes back, like Tyki, with a new hairstyle. Now it's shorter, unlike Tyki.

Shortly after Allen meets Arystar and recruits him into becoming an ally, he met Tyki[3]. This Noah lives a double life: his "white side" that is a carefree and goofy man of Portuguese descent who travels with humans that love to play poker, and his sadistic "black side" that has a lust for blood and takes up his role as Noah's descendant (and therefore, one of the antagonists). Tyki and his group sucker Arystar into a game of strip poker, winning literally all his assets, but Allen interferes and plays against them. He wins (with cheating learned from years spent with Cross), and Tyki gives him a pack of playing cards before his group departs. The author gives the first hint that something is wrong when the group is revealed to have in their possession a chunk of silver with the name Kevin Yeegar on it - the name of the exorcist general that had recently been killed. In their next encounter, Allen meets Tyki's Noah side, and, after terrorizing Allen, removing his arm and destroying his innocence, Tyki leaves him to die from a heart wound inflicted by Tease (a flesh-eating type of golem in the form of a butterfly) after destroying his Innocence, spreading out the same cards he had given Allen over the boy's body. After realizing that Allen's name would not come off the walls of the jail cell, he goes with Jasdero and Devit to find Cross.

Tyki's powers stem from his ability to selectively interact with his surroundings. This allows him to become effectively intangible, passing through all manner of matter as a ghost would, or walk on air and glide on water. His powers also have an offensive aspect, allowing him to phase his hand into his opponents' bodies and selectively interact with their organs (e.g. heart), crushing them or tearing them out without leaving any external wounds. However, he usually implants Tease golems into his victims instead of directly attacking because he claims it would "get his gloves dirty". He also possesses the ability to reject the existence of space around an area he chooses, which essentially makes it possible for him to create a vacuum around anything he pleases (this ability was put to good effect against Allen, which allowed Tyki to suffocate him in their fight). He usually attacks using his powers in concert with the flesh-eating Tease golems given to him by the Earl of Millennium. The Tease themselves are capable of multiplying themselves, becoming a large swarm to consume Tyki's enemies, or change shape to act as shields or throwing blades. He was responsible for the death of Kevin Yeegar, one of the 5 exorcist generals, and has killed over 6 other exorcists himself, including Suman Dark (whom Allen had tried to save), Kazanna Reed, Chakar Rabon, and Daisya Barry.

During their battle on Noah's Ark, Allen, with his newly formed Crown Clown, exorcised the Noah from Tyki. Although this was supposed to turn Tyki into a regular human, he instead transformed into an armored monster that faced Allen and Lavi in the ruined dining hall. Oddly enough, Tyki's new form resembles a demon knight. In his Knight-form he has strength and speed far surpassing that of a Human, as well as hundreds of vines growing out of his back that he can control remotely; his sanity, however, is apparently lost. He was utterly defeated by General Cross but was saved by the Earl before Cross could deliver the killing blow. Later after the Earl comes to retrieve his unconscious body, he states that Tyki has "awakened" and that he has looked forward to this from every generation that bears
