A veteran Operator of Rhodes Island in both age and experience, Noir Corne's habit of wearing a mask often makes him seem unapproachable. However, those who converse with him quickly find that he is an easygoing, brotherly figure who gets along well with his juniors and never touts his seniority.

Noir Corne keeps a huge collection of masks in his room. He'll wear the most suitable mask for each occasion. The mask he is seen with most frequently also seems to be his favorite. In his own words, 'This one best suits Rhodes Island's ambience.' By the way, his mask does not hide any terrible secrets.

The most peculiar thing about Noir Corne's personality is his caution around Yato - not fear, but a conspicuous, careful deference so as to avoid angering her - which has spawned plenty of gossip among the operators. However, neither their backgrounds nor their interactions seem to clarify why.
What's up, Doctor? Me, I'm just on standby.
My shield? Fun fact: I personally provide a portion of the energy it needs.
What I look like beneath the mask? Well, I... Actually, let's keep it secret for a bit longer.
Man, nothing better than a break after you finish a mission.
Requires [ Trust 40%]
Doctor, if I get to know you better, I figure my shield's gonna get even sturdier.
Requires [ Trust 100%]
Course I know where my limit's at. But I don't want Yato to worry about me, which is what matters. We'll worry about the rest some other time!

There's always the need for guys like me, you know? Nah, I'm not trying to act high and mighty. What I'm saying is: when you have a VIP plus a lot of danger, you need a guy to stand between them, that's all.
Sometimes you've just gotta take off the mask and catch a breather.
Defender Noir Corne, reporting for duty. You need VIP protection, I'm your guy.
Cool... So this stuff is what Grandpa Rangers was talking about earlier.
We bringing friends?
I'm gonna get even stronger!
Holding the line is a Defender's most important job!
We're doing it!
C'mon, say something.
What's up?
I've got this!
Here I come!
Watch it, buddy!
Reinforce defenses!
Even guys like me are happy to get through tough battles like these.
That was all right.
Well, we managed.
This wouldn't have happened if I'd worn my good mask! God dammit!
Alright, let's take a breather.
Yeah?
You wanna get some drinks after work?
Arknights.
Nothing outta the ordinary, Doctor.

In real combat, thanks to his plentiful combat experience, Noir Corne can be readied in a snap, and help the commander establish a front in the initial moments. Even if the enemies' offensive comes to be too fierce, Noir Corne won't be flustered. He knows it best, after all: if he falls before his teammates, then he'll stand back up before his teammates too. Regardless of if it's the tip of the frontline or the very rear, he'll hold fast.
