Nicolas Flamel

Nicolas Flamel is a human alchemist who wishes to drain Ynot's powers and life force to extend his own life.

History
Nicolas Flamel was known to seek out beings of extensive power to drain their abilities and extend his own life before he erased all records of his existence from galactic libraries. However, Ynot was still able to read about Flamel in the Knowledge Dimension, where he added Flamel to the list of potential threats to his existence at #765. Ynot also classified Flamel as a "threat level 3": Level 1 was for mooks and Level 5 was for Blackout.

In 150,082 CMT, Nicolas Flamel found the Cabana and created a mud golem to attack and weaken Ynot. The golem fell from the Cabana's roof and lumbered towards Ynot, but the Makuta was able to dodge its movements with ease, so Flamel used alchemy to create a earthen hand that rose from the ground and grabbed Ynot's legs. Flamel then revealed himself and claimed that Ynot would not know who he was, but Ynot revealed that he knew all about Flamel and kept him talking while Fedele approached the alchemist and bit his leg, which made him lose his concentration and release Ynot. Ynot then summoned a metal spear to break the magic inscription that Flamel created on the floor and destroyed the golem with a sonic blast. Ynot warned Flamel that he would need to try harder than that if he really wanted to claim his power, and ordered Flamel to leave Shinobi-Nui. Flamel obeyed and left, but warned Ynot that he would regret letting him live as he retreated into the ocean depths.

Following this encounter, Ynot considered Flamel to be one of the primary threats to his existence, along with Blackout, Ra, Ultron, and himself. Ynot admitted that Flamel disturbed him, so he began to research alchemy so that he would have an advantage if they met again.

Flamel met Ynot again later that year in a chance encounter at the Mad Scientist Convention. Ynot threatened to kill Flamel there and then for being a "thief of life", but Flamel argued that Ynot would not because he was the only one who could cure the convention attendees of their affliction (Vultran had previously infected everyone with a substance that caused them to grow reptilian tails and wings), so that if Flamel did not cure them, no-one would. Ynot admitted that Flamel spoke the truth, but threatened to kill him in the worst ways imaginable if he did anything to harm the attendees. Flamel accepted Ynot's conditions and drew a magic circle on the floor with chalk that cured each of the attendees as they stepped into it.
