Nooroo

"Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were... the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation, and the ring of the Black Cat, which gives the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time will achieve absolute power."

"At your service, master."

- Nooroo greeting Gabriel.

Nooroo is a major antagonist in the animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. He is the Kwami of the Moth Miraculous, who helps anyone who possess it transform into a moth-themed superhero. Although desiring to use his powers only for good, he currently assists his current master Gabriel Agreste in his quest to steal the Miraculouses of Ladybug and Cat Noir by transforming him into the supervillain Hawk Moth.

He is voiced by Ben Diskin.

Past
Thousands of years prior to the series, Nooroo and the other Kwamis traveled the universe, unable to interact with any creatures, particularly humans. This was until a mage forged the Miraculouses, so Nooroo and the others could both interact with mankind and grant them the ability to transform into heroes; Nooroo and the Moth Miraculous able to give a person the ability to grant other people superpowers. However, Master Fu ended up making a mistake that resulted in the Guardian's temple being destroyed and the Moth Miraculous, Peacock Miraculous and Miraculous Spellbook being lost, Nooroo along with them. Eventually, through unknown means, Gabriel Agreste acquired all three items and decided to use the Moth Miraculous for himself.

Season 1
In "Ladybug and Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", Nooroo explains the usage of the Miraculouses throughout history to his new master, and that the two most powerful Miraculouses of all are that of the Ladybug and Cat, which posses the power of creation and destruction respectively, and whoever wields both at the same time will be granted ultimate power. Gabriel then asks Nooroo to remind him of the powers the Moth Miraculous can give him, and he does so. Gabriel then proclaims that he wants to use the Moth Miraculous to create supervillains instead of superheroes, as to lure out the users of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses so he can gain ultimate power, and Nooroo responds that the Miraculouses are only to be used for good. However, Gabriel tells Nooroo that he is his master and therefore must do what he says, and Nooroo complies, transforming his master, who takes up the identity of Hawk Moth. As this happens, Wayzz senses Nooroo and that his powers are being used for evil, and Master Fu grants Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses respectively in response.

Season 2
In "The Collector", when Gabriel finds that his son Adrien had stolen and later lost the Miraculous Spellbook, he creates an Akuma and then detransforms. Nooroo is confused as to why his master did so, and Gabriel states that, in order to lead Ladybug and Cat Noir away from discovering his identity, he needs to "become someone else", and temporarily renounces the Moth Miraculous, sucking Nooroo back inside of it. Later, once Gabriel successfully leads Ladybug and Cat Noir from discovering his identity with his akumatized form of The Collector and gets the Miraculous Spellbook back from Marinette, he reenters his lair and summons Nooroo again. Nooroo greets his master and helps him transform back into Hawk Moth, who soliloquies about how he fooled his enemies and will eventually steal their Miraculouses one day.

In "Gorizilla", as Gabriel enters his lair, Nooroo questions his master if he really believes that his son could be Cat Noir. Gabriel responds that he doesn't know, but there is only one way the both of them can be sure. Gabriel then calls upon Nooroo to transform him into Hawk Moth, and soon akumatizes Adrien's bodyguard into Gorizilla.

Personality
Nooroo is a kind and knowledgeable person. He willingly shares information to those who wish to those who wish to know it, and helps out when he can. Even so, he doesn't like the fact that Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth wants to use his powers for evil, but still follows his orders, due to not having a choice in the matter. Despite his clear unwillingness at first, in Season 2 it is shown that Nooroo is far less reluctant to obey Gabriel's orders and even shows some happiness and open subservience when he is called upon in "The Collector". He is also curious at times, asking Gabriel if he really believes that his son is Cat Noir.

Trivia

 * As an abstract creature, Nooroo technically has no definable gender, despite being refereed to as male.
 * In the Korean and Turkish dubs of the series, Nooroo is refereed to as female.
 * Unlike all other Kwamis seen thus far (Tikki, Plagg, Wayzz, etc), Nooroo's name has two doubles instead of one. As a result, he is also the only Kwami to have more than five letters in his name.
 * The swirl on Nooroo's head resembles the proboscis of a moth or butterfly
