|gallery = Yes}}'''Nabu''' was a [[wizard]] from a noble family on [[Andros]] who first appeared in "[[Winx Club - Episode 311|A Trap for Fairies]]". He was [[Aisha]]'s love interest, and later fiancé.
   
  +
==Appearance==
== Personality Profile ==
 
  +
Nabu has a tan complexion, with very long, brown hair tied into a single braid and has deep blue eyes.
Nabu is a wizard from [[Andros]]. He was from a wealthy family, and had an isolated childhood similar to [http://winx.wikia.com/wiki/Aisha Aisha]/Layla's. Because he had no friends to play with, he spent most of his time learning battle tricks from his security guards. In addition, he has studied many different magic spells on Andros, thus his prodigious skills in spellcating.
 
   
  +
===Civilian===
When a marriage was arranged between him and Aisha/Layla, he initially didn't want to marry her and ran away from home. Later, he decided he wanted to find out what Aisha/Layla was really like, and so began to secretly keep an eye on the [[Winx]] girls for a while.
 
  +
In [[Season 3]] and the beginning of [[Season 4]], his clothing bears a close resemblance to traditional Chinese clothing but lacked the silky designs. He wears a purple turtle neck, elbow-length tunic that is decorated with yellow stripes. The tunic actually extends further down to the knee, outlined with thick, yellow lines and is split open on both sides. He has a thick red cloth tied onto his waist, purple sweats, and white shoes. This outfit also serves as his wizard outfit.
   
  +
In Season 4, he wears a white shirt inside and a purple and dark blue shirt with buttons, beige pants and white sneakers. His hair is cut shorter (chest length) and is braided into two tails.
==Seasons==
 
=== [[Season 3]] ===
 
[[File:3x21-LayOphFirstD.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Nabu's robes when he was first seen]]
 
Nabu is first mentioned at the end of episode 9, when Aisha/Layla sadly reports to her friends that her parents have set up a marriage for her. Nabu first appears at the end of episode 12, where he finally finds [[Aisha]]/Layla.
 
   
  +
<gallery hideaddbutton="true">
He later returns in episode 18, where he listens to a conversation between the Winx girls until [[Stella]] reveals his hiding spot. Later in the episode, he decides to offer the Winx his assistance in fighting [[Valtor]], who plans to steal a magical item at the museum. Nabu doesn't want to reveal who he really is, so he tells the Winx that his name is Ophir. The Winx let him come along on the mission, even though they are not sure if they can trust him. However, when [[Valtor]] threatens Aisha/Layla, Nabu gets in the way and is captured by [[Valtor]]. The Winx are forced to give [[Valtor]] the magic box he came to steal in order to save Nabu.

==Personality==
Later, when the Winx went to the Red tower to obtain the water stars, Nabu was a stow away on their ship. Aisha discovered him, and since the group were not sure if they could trust him or not due to their previous encounter, they put shackles on him. During the mission, Nabu and Aisha/Layla get to know each other a little better. Nabu helped the Winx fight off the guards of the Red tower, and was the only one who didn't get knocked out. [[Riven]] showed up shortly afterwards, and he and Nabu get into a fight due to Riven misinterpreting the situation and mistakenly believing that Nabu was trying to steal [[Musa]] from him. [[Sky]] and [[Timmy]] break up the fight, and the misunderstanding is cleared up. When [[The Trix]] later attack the group while the Winx (except [[Bloom]]) are inside the crystal labyrinth, Nabu at one point easily defeats [[Darcy]].
 
  +
Despite his isolated childhood, Nabu is very social and friendly. He is upbeat, fun and enjoys life to its fullest. But he is also daring and intelligent, seeing as he ran away from home because he disapproved of the arranged marriage and even located [[Aisha]] and spied on her to know what she was like.
   
  +
Nabu is a patient, kind, honest, understanding and rational person; he also does not get jealous. He shares these traits with [[Helia]] and both mediate between their friends who are having conflicts with their significant other, and especially [[Riven]], whose personality is the opposite. Unlike Helia however, he is not shy. His patience is demonstrated when the [[Winx (Group)|Winx]] (especially Aisha) and [[Specialists (Group)|Specialists]] were suspicious of him because he snunk onto their spaceship. He patiently waited for the group to trust him and did not push them to do so. Nabu is also very true to himself and sticks to his beliefs, which included marrying someone he loved.
After having obtained the water stars, the Winx invited their boyfriends to a dance club and Aisha/Layla asked Nabu to come along. However, Nabu was forced to leave when his security guards showed up to bring him home. When he meets with Aisha/Layla again near the end of the episode, he explains the situation and finally reveals his true identity. He tells Aisha/Layla that he has fallen in love with her, and apologizes for lying to her. Aisha/Layla and Nabu meet each others' parents, who have realized that they shouldn't have tried to make their kids follow a tradition that went against their wishes. However, they are also pleased that destiny brought them together anyway, but decide that a marriage can wait. The episode ends with the Winx welcoming Nabu into the club.[[File:NabuXLayla.jpeg|thumb|200px|Nabu and Aisha's First Kiss]]
 
   
  +
He is capable in adapting to situations and is a quick and rational thinker. Shown when he quickly thought of an excuse when the girls caught him spying on them and when he easily removed the shackles (due to the group's suspicions) and protected Aisha from a winged centaur. Nabu's language of love is words of affirmation; he encouraged Riven to show his love for Musa through words. The complete opposite of Helia's.
In episode 25, Nabu only has a short cameo appearance at the end.
 
   
  +
Nabu is also very selfless and caring, seeing as he had sacrificed his own life for the [[Earth Fairies]].
In episode 26, he joins the Winx and[[ Helia ]]on their mission to Andros to save the other specialists from [[Valtor]]. When they get there, the group decides to split up in order to save the specialists. While [[Tecna]], Stella, Musa, and Bloom are fighting the elements, Nabu, Aisha/layla, Helia and [[Flora]] find the real specialists locked up in a prison cell. After freeing the specialists, Aisha/Layla and Flora go ahead to fight Valtor while Nabu and Helia stay behind with the specialists, catching up with the others later.
 
   
  +
In the comics, he is shown to be naive, as a result as his isolated childhood, as shown with his relationship with [[Helisia]] and how he is even engaged to her, despite already dating Aisha, much to her chagrin.
After the battle is over, and everyone is celebrating at the lake, Nabu and Aisha/Layla are shown having their first kiss.
 
   
 
==Magical Abilities==
In the movie he is, for a split second, seen dancing with Aisha/Layla at the celebration party on [[Domino]].Nabu whas never jelaus
 
 
[[File:Nabu's_staff.png|thumb|Nabu, finding a way to heal Duman.]]
 
He is a [[wizard]] from [[Andros]]. His weapon of choice is a [[Nabu's Staff|magic staff]] which seems to amplify or channel (or both) his magical power. His magic is purple in color. 
   
  +
Nabu has demonstrated his range, versatility and power in magic. His true source of power was never stated, but has shown to affect all sorts of materials, objects and even people. He can disappear, create clones of himself, solidify materials such as plants, form defensive shields, manipulate and transform objects, strengthen a car engine and many more.
=== [[Season 4]] ===
 
[[File:Ep_20_Layla_and_Nabu.jpg|thumb|200px|Nabu and Aisha in Season 4]]
 
In this season he proposes to Aisha/Layla, which she accepts, even though they have an arranged marraige. So even if she didn't accept, she would have to anyway.
 
   
  +
Alongside his mystical abilities, he also knows self defense tricks which he learned from the security guards. He applies these tactics with magic, further demonstrating Nabu's great range of skills. He has shown these examples to Riven after the latter expressed his curiosity. He is also shown to be proficient in espionage.
When he and the other Specialists show up to help the girls fight the Wizards of the Black Circle in episode 7, it is Nabu who saves Roxy from being absorbed by the black circle using his magic. However, during the fight, Nabu's magic is useless against Ogron.
 
   
  +
Because he too can duplicate himself, Nabu can easily distinguish between clones and the real person. This was [[Winx Club - Episode 322|showcased]] when [[Darcy]] unleashed her duplicates to confuse him, Nabu followed suit and quickly deduced which one was real.
When Diana shows up in Episode 18, Nabu recognizes the sleep inducing pollen she uses to knock out the people in the Frutti Music Bar, and tells the Specialists to hold their breaths for as long as they can. Once Diana has left, Nabu uses his magic to weaken the magical roots she used to tie up the Winx, allowing them to regain their strength and transform. Nabu and the Specialists go to the Gardenia park to confront Diana, but Diana easily takes out most of the Specialists, only Nabu being able to put up a fight due to him being the only one with magical powers. Nabu manages to resist Diana's attacks, but is unable to do anything but watch as Diana and the Amazon fairies kidnap the Specialists and take them away to Diana's kingdom.
 
   
  +
===Uses of Magic===
When the Winx show up, he is clearly worn out from the fight against Diana, and informs them of what happened. Nabu apologizes for letting the Amazon fairies take the Specialists away, and admits that he's not as powerful as a Major Fairy such as Diana.

==Etymology==
When the Ethereal fairies appear in the next episode, Nabu seems to recognize their powerful magic and comments on how awesome it is. He joins the Winx as they go to the Amazons to rescue the Specialists. When the Amazon fairies show up, Nabu asks the Winx to distract them while he goes off to Diana's castle to save the Specialists. It is unclear what exactly happened to him while he was searching for the Specialists, but he was somehow injured and captured by the Amazon fairies.
 
 
*Nabu's name was derived from that of the [[Wikipedia:Babylonia|Babylonian]] [[Wikipedia:List of Mesopotamian deities|God]] of Wisdom and Writing and the Patron of the Scribes of [[Wikipedia:Ancient Mesopotamian religion|Babylonian Mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Nabu|Nabu]]. He is the son of [[Wikipedia:Marduk|Marduk]], the Supreme God of the Babylonians, his sacred city was at [[Wikipedia:Borsippa|Borsippa]] and was associated with the planet [[Wikipedia:Mercury|Mercury]]. The reed pen and the clay table are his symbols.
  +
*The name Nabu uses as alias in Season 3, comes from the name of a place mentioned in the [[Wikipedia:Bible|Bible]], [[Wikipedia:Ophir|Ophir]]. The real location of Ophir is unknown and there is speculation it was in Africa or South America or India.
   
 
==Trivia==
At the beginning of the next episode, Aisha is clearly concerned about Nabu as his condition seems to be worse than the others, and demands to know what Diana did to him. Diana simply chains Nabu and the other Specialists to the wall, and orders the jungle itself to help capture Bloom, Stella and Tecna who had gone off to search for the source of Diana's power.
 
 
*Nabu is not technically one of the [[Specialists (Group)|Specialists]] since he did not attend [[Red Fountain]].

*Unlike [[Sky]], Nabu liked the girl his parents arranged him to marry.
After they have been captured, and Bloom awakens Sky expresses concern for Nabu as he was the only one who had not yet regained consciousness at that point. Bloom and the other fairies quickly combine their Sophix powers to break the chains, and Bloom uses her powers to heal Nabu. When the Amazon fairies return, Nabu uses an illusion spell to distract them while the Winx knock out the Amazon fairies, allowing them all to escape the castle.

*Nabu was the first main protagonist to die.
In Episode 24 he makes an attempt to cure [[Duman]]'s illness after [[Sibylla]]'s fairies had failed. He realized that the reason they were unable to do anything, was because they didn't know what the cause was. He soon finds out that the cause of the illness was that Duman's magical energy had gotten unstable. However, soon after this discovery, Duman transforms into a monster and attacks the other specialists, and ends up capturing Nabu. Riven ends up chasing down [[Duman]], and manages to save Nabu.[[File:NabuEmbrace.jpeg|thumb|200px|Aisha Embraces Nabu]]

{{Winx}}
The specialists end up having to fight Duman, who blurts out [[Ogron]]'s plan to capture the Earth fairies. Nabu manages to defeat Duman, and he and the other specialists go to warn the fairies, but arrive too late. Nabu decides to close the shadow abyss, despite Aisha's warnings. Nabu succeeds in closing the abyss, but uses up all of his energy and passes out shortly afterwards. Aisha attempts to use the last gift of destiny to revive him, but [[Ogron]] takes it from her and wastes it on a flower. It is unknown if he died because Aisha attemped to use the last gift of destiny on him, or he is in a deep slumber as Queen Morgana said. After the final battle with the [[Wizards of the Black Circle|Black Circle]] Morgana tells Aisha that she will watch over him, until he wakes up. There is a possibility he will return in season 5.

Kind of, but we have better style.

This Article is an A! It has all the sections and images in place, making it complete. Only edit if you think it can be improved.

Nabu was a wizard from a noble family on Andros who first appeared in "A Trap for Fairies". He was Aisha's love interest, and later fiancé.

Appearance

Nabu has a tan complexion, with very long, brown hair tied into a single braid and has deep blue eyes.

Civilian

In Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, his clothing bears a close resemblance to traditional Chinese clothing but lacked the silky designs. He wears a purple turtle neck, elbow-length tunic that is decorated with yellow stripes. The tunic actually extends further down to the knee, outlined with thick, yellow lines and is split open on both sides. He has a thick red cloth tied onto his waist, purple sweats, and white shoes. This outfit also serves as his wizard outfit.

In Season 4, he wears a white shirt inside and a purple and dark blue shirt with buttons, beige pants and white sneakers. His hair is cut shorter (chest length) and is braided into two tails.

Personality

Despite his isolated childhood, Nabu is very social and friendly. He is upbeat, fun and enjoys life to its fullest. But he is also daring and intelligent, seeing as he ran away from home because he disapproved of the arranged marriage and even located Aisha and spied on her to know what she was like.

Nabu is a patient, kind, honest, understanding and rational person; he also does not get jealous. He shares these traits with Helia and both mediate between their friends who are having conflicts with their significant other, and especially Riven, whose personality is the opposite. Unlike Helia however, he is not shy. His patience is demonstrated when the Winx (especially Aisha) and Specialists were suspicious of him because he snunk onto their spaceship. He patiently waited for the group to trust him and did not push them to do so. Nabu is also very true to himself and sticks to his beliefs, which included marrying someone he loved.

He is capable in adapting to situations and is a quick and rational thinker. Shown when he quickly thought of an excuse when the girls caught him spying on them and when he easily removed the shackles (due to the group's suspicions) and protected Aisha from a winged centaur. Nabu's language of love is words of affirmation; he encouraged Riven to show his love for Musa through words. The complete opposite of Helia's.

Nabu is also very selfless and caring, seeing as he had sacrificed his own life for the Earth Fairies.

In the comics, he is shown to be naive, as a result as his isolated childhood, as shown with his relationship with Helisia and how he is even engaged to her, despite already dating Aisha, much to her chagrin.
