Nolan

Appearance Physique Nolan is a tall man of fair complexion with blue eyes and trimmed black hair. As tradition with all Viltrumite males who become old enough grow it, Nolan sports a mustache, his being thick yet well-groomed. In spite of being thousands of years old, Nolan physically appears as a middle-aged, having slight wrinkles about his face plus the lower half of turned grey. Even more, while looking like a man beyond his prime, he possesses a commanding presence of a well-built and powerful physique, notable for its broad body structure.

Clothing Viltrumite Soldier Attire During his early years as a soldier of the Viltrum Empire, Nolan wore the traditional plain white Viltrumite uniform. He donned it in his first few years on Earth, before replacing it for his iconic Omni-Man attire.

Omni-Man Attire In his "superhero persona", he is dressed in a complete bodysuit, in which the upper section is adorned in white while the lower section showcases a vibrant red color. It is worth mentioning that he adorns white boots, which are embellished with a solitary red highlight positioned at their center. In contrast, his gloves exhibit an inverse color scheme. To finalize his attire, he adorns himself with a scarlet cape. The attire showcases a prominent elongated crimson highlight embellishing its core, where a scarlet "O", symbolizing the titular individual, is prominently displayed. It actually symbolizes his people, as the Viltrumite insignia has a similar design, except with the three linear shapes.

Earth Civilian Attire On Earth, Nolan would often wear short sleeved shirts, blue, grey button shirts, with grey or dark blue pants.

The Monarch Attire After becoming the ruler of Thraxa, he modified his outfit almost resembling his original superhero costume, albeit without gloves, an "O" symbol, and red leggings.

Viltrumite Prison Attire While a prisoner in the Viltrumite prison asteroid, he wore a prison suit consisted of grey and white colors.

Personality As Omni-Man, Nolan initially shows the persona of an ideal superhero: brave, compassionate, charming, loyal, and willing to sacrifice himself for others. To the average viewer, his status as a hero was certain and undoubted. In his human persona, he appeared to be a loving husband and a good father. Even though his high expectations for his son were demanding, these expectations were usually kept in check by Debbie. The most his Viltrumite heritage showed was through his ideology toward the responsibility of being a hero, which Mark claims is more along the lines of saving millions and billions rather than hundreds or thousands, eventually heightening tensions with Debbie and Mark.

However, his true nature follows the general nature of most Viltrumites. He is ruthless and loyal to the Viltrum Empire, committing countless amoral and horrific acts for the Empire to conquer planets. Due to his race’s near-immortality, immense power, and extremely advanced technology, he sees many other races as weak and inferior. Arrogantly believing it is his duty to bring order to other societies for the greater good, he conquers them, and if they resist, they are subjugated violently. Despite the shameless and indifferent way he operates for the Viltrum Empire, it is not done out of hatred or sadism—he truly believes that he is doing the right thing, viewing dominance as the same as peace and prosperity. His ruthlessness is evident in his genocide and near-destruction of the Flaxans and their planet after they first tried to conquer Earth. He also shows no remorse for the thousands he has killed, instead finding them pitiful. Nolan even declared that while he loved his wife, he considered her a pet and even stated he could kill Mark to have another son whom he could raise to be loyal to the Viltrum Empire's Expansion plan.

Despite his god complex and callous ways, his time on Earth gradually began to change him. During the times he presents himself as a cold and pragmatic warrior, he often portrays uneasiness with his actions. He was willing to kill the original Guardians of the Globe in order to weaken Earth’s defenses against the Viltrumites, but soon after, he seemed distraught about his actions. Likewise, while originally finding Earth activities like sports pointless, he came to truly love his family, enjoying time with them and showing genuine happiness at their success. During his fight with Mark, he constantly berates him for caring about Earth and living like a human; however, his arguments and increasingly unhinged tone imply Nolan is trying to convince himself of his own actions. In the end, when he angrily asks his son what Mark will have in 500 years, his son weeps and tells him he would still have his father. This confession of love from his son, despite all he had done to Mark, was enough to break Nolan out of his cold Viltrumite persona and cause him to break down in anguish. Horrified at what he had done to his son, Nolan chooses to abandon his mission and leave Earth rather than kill his own son, with tears streaming down his face as he departs for space.

In the end, Nolan’s 20 years on Earth were enough to change the thousands of years of Viltrumite dogmatism he had lived through. Nolan’s decision to murder his friends, slaughter innocent people, and attack his son seemed based on nothing more than habit and conditioning as a Viltrumite soldier, and when confronted with the realization of his own actions, Nolan feels immense guilt and remorse. Even while space-voyaging, he experiences such depression of unsure what to with his life after abandoning all he ever knew as a Viltrumite. So lost, he ultimately decided to end his life by throwing himself into a black hole. However, by chance encountering a small ship of Thraxans and without thinking saved them gave him a new purpose, as the entire Thraxan race offered him a home on their planet as their Monarch. Coming to genuinely and with no secret agenda care for these people, Nolan regained much of his previous joy.

Despite having changed for the better upon meeting the Thraxans, Nolan was still unable to comprehend why he cared about them when they were massacred by Viltrumite invaders. Although he felt furious at the slaughter, he believed that the Thraxan species' weak bodies and short lives shouldn't matter to him, as his Viltrumite conditioning leading him to believe that all other races were inferior and worthless. When Mark points out that this is how he was supposed to feel on Earth, Nolan is left in stunned silence, and for the first time in his life, he is unable to justify the Viltrumite mindset of seeing weaker species as inferior and worthless. This realization developed even further during his time in prison, he no longer saw himself as a Viltrumite due to his newfound empathy. Ashamed of his "failings", he was more than ready to accept his fateful execution. However, as he talked more with Allen as a fellow inmate, while still to accept his fate as a Viltrumite traitor, he came to realize he didn't regret the man he became, even admitting that he deeply missed his wife, Debbie, the person who forever changed him for the better. The final push to changing Nolan's outlook came from Allen, who openly viewing Nolan as his friend, risked his life to save Nolan. Desiring to help save his first true friend, something that no other Viltrumite ever experienced, Nolan finally came to terms with his newfound identity, desiring to again to live and atone for his crimes by helping to stop the Viltrumite takeover of the Universe.
