Nolan Houdini/Relationships

Harry Houdini
Nolan and Harry, quite clearly, possess the relationship of an apprentice and master on the surface level. However, Nolan's admiration for Harry runs a lot deeper than that. Given that Harry was the one who gave Nolan the opportunity to become a Mage and live his current life, there is an underlying gratitude that is expressed in Nolan's tone-of-voice whenever the apprentice and master converse. Given his underlying admiration for the man, Nolan does not just wish to become as powerful as him, but rather, he wishes to surpass him entirely. Nolan recognizes the legacy Harry has left on the magical world and that his ambitious self wasn't going to be any less than his famed master. That being said, Nolan has displayed quite a haughty attitude in front of his master on occasion, often telling the "old man" to retire and give his position in the Wizard Saints to him [Nolan]. While Harry reciprocates this comically, the man also understands that, at some point, Nolan will officially challenge himself and he will be forced to prepare himself for the fight of his lifetime. Nevertheless, even with this ambient tension between the duo, they are prepared to do whatever they can for one another and, in the most common scenario, are always happy with one another's presence despite Nolan's rather irksome quirks for the elder man.
