'''Nolrem''' is a supporting character that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is, as his name suggests, the [[Flopside]] counterpart of [[Merlon]]. The two share a strong resemblance aside from Nolrem's differently colored clothes, such as a gray cloak and hat over pink robes. Unlike Merlon, he does not need to be visited in his house, instead visiting the heroes at each [[Heart Pillar]] whenever they place in a [[Pure Heart]] in Flopside.


'''Merlon''', nicknamed '''Nolrem''' by the opposite [[Merlon]] to differentiate the two, is, quite literally, the [[Flopside]] version of Merlon, though Merlon also states that Nolrem is his distant cousin. Nolrem wants to be just as helpful as Merlon. Nolrem looks exactly like Merlon, except he sports a gray cape, while Merlon's is blue. Contrasting from Merlon, he descended from the [[Tribe of Darkness]].
As told by both himself and [[Carson]], he (among unspecified "others like him") is descended from the [[Tribe of Darkness]], making him the only known living remnant of the tribe other than [[Count Bleck]]. His [[Catch Card]] description states he is a descendant of the Ancients, like those of [[Merlee]] and Merlon. Whether this is meant to suggest that he is a descendant of the Tribe of Darkness and the Tribe of Ancients following a reintegration of some kind, or it is simply true by default in that Tribe of Darkness originally branched off from the [[Tribe of Ancients]], is unclear.


==[[Catch Card]]==
While his [[Flipside]] counterpart Merlon is generally hopeful due to his strong faith in the heroes and the outlook of the [[Light Prognosticus]], Nolrem displays a slightly more pessimistic view of things at times despite being just as friendly - his slightly more fatalistic attitude falls further in line with the [[Dark Prognosticus]], even facing the [[The Void|end of all worlds]] with a sad, yet calm resignment. Despite this, Nolrem does everything he can to support the heroes and avert the dark book's predictions, still possessing hope and assisting in fighting the prophecy of destruction like his Flipside counterpart.

Nolrem is a supporting character that appears in Super Paper Mario. He is, as his name suggests, the Flopside counterpart of Merlon. The two share a strong resemblance aside from Nolrem's differently colored clothes, such as a gray cloak and hat over pink robes. Unlike Merlon, he does not need to be visited in his house, instead visiting the heroes at each Heart Pillar whenever they place in a Pure Heart in Flopside.

As told by both himself and Carson, he (among unspecified "others like him") is descended from the Tribe of Darkness, making him the only known living remnant of the tribe other than Count Bleck. His Catch Card description states he is a descendant of the Ancients, like those of Merlee and Merlon. Whether this is meant to suggest that he is a descendant of the Tribe of Darkness and the Tribe of Ancients following a reintegration of some kind, or it is simply true by default in that Tribe of Darkness originally branched off from the Tribe of Ancients, is unclear.

While his Flipside counterpart Merlon is generally hopeful due to his strong faith in the heroes and the outlook of the Light Prognosticus, Nolrem displays a slightly more pessimistic view of things at times despite being just as friendly - his slightly more fatalistic attitude falls further in line with the Dark Prognosticus, even facing the end of all worlds with a sad, yet calm resignment. Despite this, Nolrem does everything he can to support the heroes and avert the dark book's predictions, still possessing hope and assisting in fighting the prophecy of destruction like his Flipside counterpart.
