Background[edit | edit source]

Little is known about Nicholus for much of his time within the Second-Chancers, what is known is that he was a soldier in the Nationalist army for a time before coming across August and his band of mercenaries.

His actual life is that he born in Seresian town in the south near Kusharidan. His mother, a Kushari serf was forced upon by her boss and Nicholus's father, a Seresian landowner. Nicholus grew up in a life of poverty, attempting to take care of her increasingly ailing mother who would often receive beatings from his father. At the age of 16, after a particualary brutal beating, Nicholus murdered his father. Leading a minor revolt against the landowners, he managed to burn down the manor and fled with his mother to Kusharidan. It was there that she passed away. Nicholus, now alone began to meet with various Kushari elders to learn of his mother's people. It was during one of these times that the Cedronian Civil War broke out and the new insurgency known as the Union of Communes began to conduct raids on Kushari lands for supplies and manpower.

Nicholus was one such person captured. He fought in the Union army for two years before he was captured by a warlord of the Free State of Urius. Being a slave-warrior in their army for about a year, he was yet again captured, this time by the Nationalist government of Ferrum Manus. Spending two years in this army, he managed to desert after a brutal battle against the Royalists. It was during his time of wandering that he met August and the Second-Chancers.

In the Second-Chancers, he quickly rose through the ranks due to his years of experience in various armies as well as he natural affinity to strategy. He was made into a Lieutenant and was given command of his own small band of men which he continues to command over by the time Marceth arrives.
