Bio

The Noble has been the bane of civilized life since resurfacing began. They operate primarily out of tribal hotspots of the Nukers. He is seemingly the most intellectually advanced humanoid in their hierarchy.

Physically smaller than its Warrior and Tanker brethren, a Noble nevertheless is not to be underestimated. Many a greenhorn trainee have found themselves victims of his excellent marksmanship and tactics. A lone Noble is known to pin down his enemy with ranged fire, and flank them to close in for hand-to-hand combat. This close-quarter assault tactic may be a way of displaying dominance in front of other tribe members.

Research and field reports indicate the Nobles as leaders of Nuker civilization. Genetically speaking, they are the least affected by mutation and use this as leverage for higher status.

The tattered biohazard suits which identify the Noble are more suggestive of rank, than actually useful in preventing radiological exposure. These suits are passed down from father to son, and can vary in color, which is dependent on tribe. They often are believed to represent a history of the Nuker “people.”

As expert huntsmen, engineers, and sound tacticians, the Noble is widely considered the true Nuker threat in the field.

Tribal Role

The Noble serves as the engine of forward motion for Nuker society. Elevated above the rank and file Warrior and the attack dog Tanker, he is a consummate hunter and leader of the battlefield.

Politically, the dominant Alpha Noble of a tribe dictates the plan of action to the tribe's leadership who then oversees the execution of the plan.

Nobles are known to be keen traders, usually dealing in human prisoners and salvaged goods. Inter-tribal trading also sees the exchange of fertile Sheelas, which helps to bolster the tribe's population to withstand raids, or even conduct them.

Fighting The Noble

Using its combination of accurate ranged attacks and deft melee close-quarters combat, the Noble is a dangerous adversary.

Intelligent, cunning, and fast on his feet - he is the number one cause of Union military casualties for the past decade. We are in his environment now. We must make it ours once again.

Though the Noble is tough within melee range, he can be beaten. With our advanced weaponry, we must either out-shoot him from an extended range or close the gap quickly if spotted and use our superior hand-to-hand combat training to destroy him. Do not let this foe pin you down. Stay smash-mouth trainee!
