N'bel was a Human blacksmith and native of Nocturne in M30.[1]
A large muscular man, N'bel lived in the city of Hesiod, and was the one who discovered and took in the young Primarch Vulkan. Considering him the hero prophesied in the Promethean Cult, N'bel raised Vulkan and the Primarch would always consider him his true father. He taught Vulkan not just the art of blacksmithing[1b], but also the Primarch's moral values such as protecting the weak.[1a]
When he was rediscovered by the Emperor, Vulkan left N'bel behind on Nocturne but always intended to return to the world.[1] However N'bel later died, and Vulkan built a memorial for him on Nocturne.[2]
