The Noah Family (ノアの一族, Noa no ichizoku) consists of fourteen human descendants of Noah who have inherited his genes. It was originally believed that they were the descendants of a single individual known as "Noah", but it is later revealed that there was originally a clan of 12 members. The Noah clan claim to be the original ancestors of all humans after the Great Flood, and that all humans possess "Noah genes." Every era, the Noah are resurrected through reincarnation to assist the Earl. A Noah can be identified by a gray skin tone, yellow/gold eyes, and a horizontal line of seven cross-shaped stigmata referred to as holy marks. Another identifying feature of the Noahs is an extremely wide, Cheshire-Cat-esque smile, which the akuma also possess. Like Akuma creatures, they base their powers off Dark Matter, the opposite of Innocence, and as such are vulnerable to Innocence. However, since Innocence and Dark Matter are weak against each other, the Noah can also destroy Innocence by merely touching it. All of the Dark Matter powers of the Noah are very powerful, far surpassing those of the Akuma. Unlike normal humans, they are immune to the blood virus [1]. The Noah share an inborn drive to kill Exorcists, but otherwise possess unique will and mindsets. "Carved" on their genes is a memory of one of the original Noah and a "true name" different from any member in their generation and possess a supernatural ability. They claim to be immortal, However, a Noah's human body can be destroyed after suffering enough physical trauma. The Noah will reincarnate into another body in time.
