Noel's got a few things going for him. Given that he's got centuries of experience under his belt, and his inclination to want to get home, he may participate.

So, what's he good at? He's your man for hunting, tracking, and well...let's face it, stalking. Going undetected is something he's gotten pretty darned good at. While he prefers using weapons, he's got a wide variety of magical abilities, which include recovery and offense, so he's got that going for him too. Hasn't worked in a large group before, and tends to be more comfortable with smaller ones, but he's a good sport. Mostly.

This being said, he's new here and will likely take a while to trust people for reasons. Noel's also not your man if you need something ruthless done - he disdains taking lives where it's avoidable and just won't do it. If somebody gets Lightning on board with a plan though, chances are he'll follow her whether she likes it or not.
