The Three Pure Nobles, are a cabal of Duelists representing Iliaster with a common recurring Infinity theme, consisting of Jakob, Lester and Primo (known as Jose, Lucciano and Placido in the Japanese version) and the main antagonists of the World Racing Grand Prix. Their Japanese names pay tribute to The Three Tenors. The three of them are the only Duelists capable of wielding the all powerful "Meklord Emperors", which has the ability to absorb any Synchro Monster. Together they make up for three parts of Aporia's life, and are 3 embodiments of his despair: his childhood, his early adulthood, and his later life. They, as Aporia, originated from a future that has been devastated by Ener-D, a war brought on by "Meklord Emperors", and Synchro Summoning.
