Personality[]
Nox Owen is friendly and respectful to Celaena during their time in the King's Champion Tournament, befriending her.
History[]
Nox made a name for himself at an early age, rising up from one of the countless city orphans to become one of the most talented thieves in Terrasen. After Adarlan’s conquest, Nox turned his talents toward tormenting Perranth’s new rulers (viceroys and generals sent in from Adarlan) and has been rumored to occasionally see to it that those stolen goods make their way into the hands of Terrasen’s rebels. He was sponsored in the king’s competition by the new Minister of Terrasen (a native) and was granted immunity if he lost. His motives for accepting the Minister’s offer, however, remain unknown.
Throne of Glass[]
In the first novel, Nox was one of the few candidates who are actually friendly towards Celaena. The two, in fact, became friends and had helped each other numerously throughout the tournament. At first, Celaena teaches Nox how to throw knives properly and he praises her skills. He defends her against Cain, too. In one of the Tests, Celaena saves Nox's life after another competitor tries to kill him, even though she ends up in eighteenth place because of it, and almost regrets her decision. After the number of unsolved murders in the castle increased, Celaena advised Nox to flee Rifthold before becoming the next victim. Nox heeded her advice and fled Rifthold, and his fate after that remains unknown.

Nox is seen as a messenger, not employed, of Darrow.
During a meeting of the Lords of Terrasen and commanders, Nox enters with another person that ended up being a Valg that found out that Aelin -Lysandra- was a shifter and then was killed.
Nox apologized to them and left the tent.
While Aelin (Lysandra) was going to her tent after talking to Aedion, Nox fell in step beside her and told her that he knew she wasn´t the real Aelin. When she asked her why he asked if she recognized him, and she said that he was a messenger, then he told her that he was a friend of Celaena when she was at the Glass Castle.
