- "I'll be the one to decide between right and wrong!"
- ―Noble's pre-transformation catchphrase
Drew Carlson is a former Squad Leader of the Phoenix Corps and the second-born son of the Carlson family who spawned his own inner demon, Claw and unwillingly transformed into Demon Warrior Shadow. As Drew began learning how to suppress Claw, he became Demon Warrior Noble in his own right.
After being unbalanced due to losing his inner demon, Drew finally accepts Claw as a part of him, bringing them back together as they become Demon Warrior Evo-Noble.
History
For Drew's history, please read the Riderwiki page for his counterpart.
Personality
Drew is described as clear-headed and shy but quite prideful. He is somewhat submissive, generally meaning well but lacking confidence and often the necessary strength of will. While he loves his family dearly, he suffers from an inferiority complex towards his older brother, whom he felt was constantly the center of attention. When James became the Demon Warrior that Drew was supposed to be, Drew's pent-up frustration at being overshadowed yet again led to Claw eventually taking control. Despite this, Drew is strong in his own way, as even though he was completely suppressed by Claw, he continued to fight against his own inner demons deep down. Believing in his brother, Drew was finally able to break free from his demons after James reaffirmed his belief in Drew's own strength.
After eventually managing to defeat Claw entirely, Drew's resolve and sense of justice became further strengthened. However, without his demon to keep himself in check, Drew's righteousness eventually got the better of him, turning him into a brash and emotionally reckless individual. This would evidently cost him greatly, resulting in a series of crippling defeats at the hands of Xavier Williams as Drew desperately clings onto his beliefs that Phoenix was supposed to do what was right for humanity.
After witnessing the sheer power of Lord Zorgaroth, Drew began to genuinely believe that humanity had to submit to the demon king for the greater good in preserving the safety of humanity, putting him at odds with James over their differing beliefs. Eventually, the death of Hailey Russell would be the final straw for Drew, permanently placing the two brothers on opposing camps as the war over Zorgaroth reaches its peak. Ultimately, Drew's actions stem from a profound sense of hurt and loneliness, as no one was able to truly understand him, including his own family and friends whom he now sees as enemies for getting in his way. After both Danny, Luke and Ryan's efforts, he finally realizes his wrongdoings and eventually enabled Claw to return, This not only restores Drew back to normal, but he now also accepts Claw as a part of him.
Drew has an extremely low tolerance for spicy food.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Inner Devil Control: Drew currently possesses the ability to keep his inner devil, Claw, under control. Although Drew's hidden resentment towards James initially caused Claw to be let loose, his elder brother's encouragement motivated him to break free and suppress Claw. After Drew managed to gain control of his inner demon, the two are now able to switch places whenever Drew's physical body receives a strong enough force to knock him out and render the dominant personality unconscious.
- Zorgaroth's Offspring Physiology: After coming into contact with a Demon who is infused with Lord Zorgaroth's DNA, Drew can safely transform into a Demon Warrior using the Demon Stamp system. When Claw vanished in episode 27, this control was formerly no longer in effect. After his return, Drew regains this ability, but is now able to let Claw take control at will and vice versa.
Abilities
- Skilled Marksman: Drew is a skilled firearms user, capable of vanquishing several Skull Knights with his gun. He has mastered the usage of the Noble Blaster that comes with the Two-Heart Scanner and can dual wield it with an Bio AxeBlaster in it's Gun Mode effortlessly.
- Skilled Combatant: As a member of the Phoenix Corps, Drew is trained in unarmed combat against the Dealership.
- Tactician: Drew was able to recognize a trap set by the Dealership designed to keep the Demon Warriors away from their intended target.
Former Weaknesses
- Lord Zorgaroth: Due to Drew possessing an inner demon of his own, he would eventually also suffer side effects as a result of Lord Zorgaroth growing stronger. However, his case is the inverse of Vice, as Drew is the one who suffers from immense headaches, while Claw's strength continues to grow relative to Zorgaroth's empowerment. After Claw's death, this weakness was theoretically negated.
- Inner Demon Loss: Due to the loss of Claw, it was theorized by George Myers that since humans operate between their good and evil aspects, Drew had become unbalanced since Claw was no longer part of him. Furthermore, he becomes more brash and reckless with each defeat he suffers. It was later revealed that Claw was in fact inside the Angel's Wing Demon Stamp rather than being permanently erased. After he resurfaced, Drew returned to how he was beforehand.
