The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan

Noel is born as the grandson to the strongest seeker known. However, once he begins his training, it becomes quickly apparent that his class type will never allow him to become the most physically dominant seeker, so he goes hell bent trying to become the most powerful through other methods, by nearly any means necessary. While Noel does follow a set of morals, some of his actions and decisions can be absolutely vile leading both the wicked and the innocent to suffer. These despicable actions do appear to pull at his conscience, but this is what it takes to rise up in his world, and he'll allow no-one and nothing to stand in his way on his ascent to power.

This anime has been keeping me enthralled with its mix of battle and strategy (the strategy being reminiscent, though not quite as adept as the Moriarty series). This series is currently at the top of my list, as I look forward to how many lines Noel is willing to cross and if he can amass the power he's dreamt of to rival or surpass that of his grandfather.
