Knov Character Guide
Who Is Knov?
Knov is a bespectacled young man, typically seen in a black suit and blue tie with a white button-down shirt. At the beginning of the Extermination Mission, Knov has medium-length black hair, but near the day of the assault on the Chimera Ant King 's palace, Knov's hair turns white after he experiences a mental breakdown upon coming into contact with Shaiapouf 's heinous En. When Knov enters the castle to save Morel and Shoot, he is in a bad state, with almost no hair anymore. Eventually, Knov becomes bald and wears a flat cap to hide his head.
Knov’s Role in Hunter x Hunter
As an experienced Hunter, Knov is a serious individual, and very reflective. He shows a hint of arrogance upon meeting Killua for the first time and labels him and Gon children. He is very cautious during missions, almost to the point of being paranoid.
Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact
However in spite of his usual serious and calculating demeanor, he is also a gambler at heart, as shown when he engages with Morel's wager without hesitation and places his bet for 1 million (Morel starts the bet by putting in 100 thousand), stating that he has an appetite for long shots, which surprises Morel. This risk-taking side of Knov is at its paragon when he exploits the emergency within the King's palace that has forced Neferpitou to undo their En as an opportunity to stealthily enter and place teleportation exits for his Nen ability, Hide and Seek, in order to prepare for an upcoming surprise attack, despite not knowing the nature of the said emergency nor does he know how much time he is allowed to execute the infiltration before the Royal Guard's En is revived; during which he also comments that it is entirely fine to suffer 3 losses out of the 4 planned major battles, as long as the 1 loss of the enemy is the King. He is also shown to be courageous, despite his fear when approaching the palace alone, with many unknown variables still up in the air.
For PopRot readers, the useful way to look at Knov is through three angles: what they want, who they are connected to, and how their choices affect the larger Hunter x Hunter story. This page is built as a character profile first, with related links added so visitors can keep moving through the Hunter x Hunter section instead of landing on an isolated article.
