Personality
Noah was a soft-spoken and sophisticated individual. He believed that he wanted to free people from the constraints of time. He was remorseless about killing people to achieve his goals and did not show too much care for how the town would react to the murders. He was loyal to Adam and his vision to influence time.
It was then revealed that Noah primary goal was to reunite with his daughter, whom was kidnapped as an infant. He followed Adam because he believed that he would help him manipulate the timeline so he could see his daughter again, unaware that Adam merely used this to get Noah to help him. To which Noah became furious about after finding out his true intentions which Noah didn’t want anything to do with, and tried to kill Adam as well before being killed by his own sister, whom Adam used as well.
Biography
Noah was born as Hanno Tauber, with his parents being Bartosz and Silja Tiedemann. Noah studied theology to become a pastor. He had a pastorate in the town of Vechta. He took the post of pastor in Winden at the age of forty-two, going under the name Hanno Tauber.
Noah was eventually recruited by his uncle Adam and believed he was working to achieve a greater purpose: to elevate humanity by controlling time travel, which would make it possible to re-arrange events and escape the pre-determined cycle of suffering.
His true motive for this was that he could manipulate the timeline so he could eventually reunite with his daughter Charlotte whom was kidnapped as an infant. However, when Noah found out that he was merely being manipulated by Adam and that the latter wanted to wage war on humanity, he wanted to kill him as his plans did not align with his own plan. But since it wasn’t Adam’s fate to be killed by Noah, he wouldn’t die. Adam instead has Noah’s sister Agnes Nielsen, who is also a dedicated follower of Adam, to kill him. Noah died never having achieved any of his goals.
