DESCRIPTION: Looks like a greek god, his moniker is "the high priest of Bowflex". He knows he's good-looking as well. This is the type of guy who girls know is trouble but they don't care and still fall for him.

BACKGROUND: Grew up the only child of a well-to-do family. Father owns a small tax accounting firm, and Nick lived on a boat moored in a yacht. As the only child he craved attention, and in high school he easily found it from the other sex. This gives him quite an ego, but if you can look past that you can still see an impressionable young man eager to please.

RISING CONFLICT: It was in Senior Year of his High School that all went to hell. He started getting flashes of insight and visions that would then happen. This freaked him out, and he lost some of his popularity at first trying to tell others. Eventually he gave up, and just kept it to himself.

FIRST STORY: He attended college and studied physical therapy, though he majored in the other sex. He eventually dropped out to start his own gym. He wasn't really mature enough yet to handle this, and after borrowing all the money from dad that he could he started to borrow money from the russians as well as gamble. He burnt through all of that money as well. During this time he also started to get into a lot of alternative science and witchcraft, trying to find out more about his foresights. Eventually the russians came to collect, and Nick was getting desperate. That's when he met Titania ("TITania? Really!"), who agreed to tell him about his foresight if he would do her a favor. For such a pretty lady how could he say no? The agreement was that they would date in the real world and he would show her what it's like to be human/mortal. Little known to him, but Titania was grooming him to be a potential summer knight. (NOTE: Think what Mab did with Sarissa.)

GUEST STAR: Nick attends the summer court, and he is truly smitten with all the beautiful ladies that he sees. And rather then shun him they flock to him (their latest plaything) and stroke his ego. Without even realizing it Nick quickly ends up owing a debt to a fae lady named Astrid. She compels him to return the favor and get rid of an irksome werewolf for her. Said werewolf is Thomas' PC. They duel physically and Thomas handily beats him, but this leads to a settlement with Astrid's complaint and in time Nick befriends the werewolf. Oh, and Thomas's PC burns down Nick's gym.

GUEST STAR REDUX: Nick is now a personal trainer for the rich and wealthy. He does a lot better in this role, since he has fewer responsibilities and his easy rapport and striking good looks endears him to his picky clientele. He's also not above engaging in dangerous liasons with the bored house-wives. Then the Summer Lady Aurora and the Summer Knight Ronald Deuel die, and everything is thrown in turmoil. Titania offers Nick the mantle of the Summer Knight, and Nick agrees ("she's so pretty!"). They have sex on the stone table and it's broadcast to the entire summer court. Many in the summer court question Titania's decision, since Nick doesn't seem that useful of a summer knight (though they are unaware of his foresight). So Titania compels Nick to "go prove yourself". Nick decides to stop a mortal practitioner, a russian named Alexander, who's been using enthralling magic and in doing so bumps into Kapooki's PC who is also hunting that person down. Together they put an end to to the practitioner and his many thralls.
