A computer genius and an intellectual, he is described as a man of great intelligence, having had conversations that even his daughter did not understand. When his daughter Felicity was seven, he was said to abandon her and his wife, Donna, to avoid going to prison. As the Calculator, Noah is an opportunist criminal, with great disregard for the lives of others and no qualms with controlling and blackmailing people he has no love for, such as Roy Harper. In reality, Noah didn't have much choice, as Donna decided not to gamble with fate on the chance that her husband could reform from his criminal ways, and decided to escape from Noah, disappearing from his life. Knowing he was not good for his daughter and not wanting Felicity to despise her mother, Noah made Felicity believe he abandoned them.

Coercing Roy Harper While Roy was living under a new identity, Noah discovered Roy's secret. He then blackmailed Roy into helping him, telling him he would reveal his identity. To watch Roy's every move, the man had Roy put on a lens in his right eye. But then Oliver saved him. Kuttler was contacted by an unknown employer and hired to detonate a web nuke to take down Star City. He had Roy steal several parts to build this nuke. Team Arrow managed to free Roy from his influence. Felicity broke through his encryption code and he contacted Felicity, disguising his voice. Noah told Felicity his intention wasn't to take down the internet but a city.
Reuniting with Felicity
While Felicity made her presentation at Palmer Technologies, Noah watched. Noah applauded her presentation and complimented her to Oliver Queen. He then greeted his daughter after the presentation. While out to dinner with Felicity, Noah referred to her as "Overwatch", revealing his identity as the Calculator. He stated that they had a lot in common as they were both vigilante hackers.
Enemy of H.I.V.E.
After activating the reprogrammed Rubicon protocol, H.I.V.E. leader Damien Darhk believed that Noah was the only one able to hack Rubicon and foil his plans. He sent his men to execute him but Noah managed to escape and was finally rescued by Team Arrow. He along with Felicity broke into Palmer Technologies to steal a processor needed to hack into Rubicon. Although they managed to copy only 90% of the processor, he extrapolated the design to complete it. Working with Felicity he was able to stop all but one nuke, all the while being hunted by Damien Darhk's underlings: Danny Brickwell and Michael Amar. He then took a bullet trying to save Felicity.
