Nicolene

Nicolene is a Breton who resides in Port Hunding, Stros M'Kai in . She is a member of Captain Kaleen's crew and has two brothers serving in the Daggerfall Covenant.
==Background==
She admires the captain and when talking to her she will tell the Vestige that she is amazing, smart, tough, and a real fighter. She is incredible with a sword, even for a Redguard. She has never met anyone like her.
She met her in an embarrassing moment but it was also funny. Nicolene was living in Wayrest docks at the time, picking pockets to get by. Kaleen came walking by, with a huge bag of gold swinging from the belt. She didn't even notice Nicolene stole it.
But when she did, she came after her down the street so fast Nicolene thought her days were numbered. But she was offered a job instead as Kaleen was impressed. Though she says that she thinks Kaleen is an incredible mentor, it is shown in Nicolene's diary (located in the guts of the Spearhead) that she hopes for a more romantic relationship with her, also saying that she thinks "Kaleen's too strong and independent to marry some stupid man, just like me."
==Interactions==
===The Spearhead's Crew===
===The Bloodthorn Plot===
Nicolene once again catches up to you to inform you that the assault on Carzog's Demise has begun and that Lambur is waiting for you in Stonetooth Fortress.
===Wayrest===
After her adventures in Stros M'Kai and Betnikh are over, she is found again later in Wayrest aboard the Spearhead where she is now working on behalf of the Daggerfall Covenant as a privateer in Captain Kaleen's splintered crew.
If the Vestige chose to destroy the relic of Betnikh, they would find out that her two siblings have been killed by the Aldmeri Dominion's assault on Farwatch Tower in Glenumbra.
===Children of Yokuda===
Finding Nicolene inside Dead Wolf Inn in Shornhelm, she asks for the Vestige's help once again, this time to find Captain Kaleen and the deserters known as the Children of Yokuda.
===Sentinel===
She is later found in Sentinel, where she shares to the Vestige that she has been promoted as Captain Kaleen's first mate. She then proceeds to tell the Vestige to go talk to a wall.
==Dialogue==
Nicolene can be first met on the Spearhead, in Captain Kaleen's cabin, after one part of the quest "The Broken Spearhead" has been completed.
"I knew Captain Kaleen would get another crew together! When she wants something, she gets it!"
:You work for Captain Kaleen? "Why else would I be cleaning her cabin? I want it to be perfect when she comes back. Spotless. This whole mutiny was just a temporary setback. I'm sure of it. We'll sail again soon."
::There was a mutiny? "Oh, Kyne yes! It was terrifying. Captain Kaleen told the crew we were to stop raiding Breton galleons, and that's what it started. The crew went nuts. They tried to take over the ship!"
:::But you stopped them? "Kaleen did, with help from Lambur and Tumma-Shah, I mean. And Master Kasan. They were amazing! So fast and strong. When it was over, Kaleen ordered the traitors off the ship, and good riddance!"
::::What can you tell me about this ship? "The Spearhead's the fastest galleon on the seas! Master Kasan gave her to Captain Kaleen when he retired. He taught her all she knows about the sea. Once the captain gets a new crew, we'll be off again."
:::::What do you think of Captain Kaleen? "She is amazing! She's smart, tough, and a real fighter. She's incredible with a sword, even for a Redguard who grow up using them. I've never met anyone like her."
::::::How did you meet her? "Well, it's kind of embarrassing. But funny! I was living on the Wayrest docks, picking a few pockets here and there to get by. Then Kaleen came walking by, with a huge bag of gold swinging from her belt."
:::::::And you tried to steal it? "I did steal it! She didn't even notice it was gone until I was halfway down the street, but boy, did she get after me. She can run! When she caught me, I thought I was dead, but she offered me a job. She was impressed."
::::::::So you joined her crew? "She said it was a good lift - taking her purse, I mean - and offered me an apprenticeship. Sailing the seas, drinking and fighting, finding treasure - I love it. Captain Kaleen's an increadible mentor."
;The Spearhead's Crew
At the start of the quest:
"Ha! I didn't think I'd ever find you. You move around."
:Can I help you? "I'm Nicolene! I work for Captain Kaleen. She sent me to find you, see if you'd had any luck recruiting for our heist. Looks like you're already making new friends."
::You could say that. "Then listen, just so you know. We're set up in a hideout near the docks. Come find us when you finish recruiting. Look for Lambur outside the door."
:::I'll find you when I'm ready to leave. "There's three folks Captain Kaleen wants to help with her heist―Crafty Lerisa, Jakarn, and Neramo. She told me about 'em. Who do you want to know about?"
::::Where's Crafty Lerisa? "She's in Saintsport. The Sea Drakes lured her ship onto the rocks. Those bastards really know how to ruin your day. It's south of Port Hunding. Look for the big lighthouse."
::::Tell me about Neramo. "He's a brilliant Dwemer sage. Not that he's Dwemer himself, but he studies them. He's out at Bthzark, digging in the ruins there. Those are the only people I heard Captain Kaleen mention."
After recruiting all the crew members:
"You're back! Found anyone else to help us with this heist?"
:We're moving along. "Ha! I knew you'd get it done. Who needs the old crew—those traitors!—when we've got you helping us?"
;The Bloodthorn Plot
"We need you back at the fortress. Right now."
:What's happening? "Orc scouts sighted Bloodthorn Cultists in Carzog's Demise. Tazgol's mobilizing the army to go kill them all, but Lambur's worried. She thinks it might be a trap. Did you find out anything?"
::The cultists seek an Ayleid relic that can raise an invincible army. "That's awful! I'll go find the captain. Get back to the fortress and let Lambur know. Maybe it's not too late!"
;Children of Yokuda
If the Vestige destroyed the weapon during "Carzog's Demise":
"You? What are you doing here? Forget it. I know we've had our differences in the past, but … I need your help."
:Tell me what's wrong. "It's Kaleen. She's missing. She was supposed to meet me back here hours ago and, well … it's been too long. I think something's happened to her. No, I know something's happened."
::Tell me what's going on. "We're tracking a spy. Naruk. He worked for King Fahara'jad until he turned on the Covenant. Now he's inciting war. Kaleen left to meet Sigil, a contact with info on Naruk. They were to meet outside town, off the road. She hasn't come back."
:::I'll look for Kaleen. You stay here in case she returns. "I appreciate your help, but … don't think this changes anything. We're working together for the good of the Covenant. That's it."
::::So you're working for King Fahara'jad now? "Kaleen is. I'm working for her. King Fahara'jad asked Kaleen to come after Naruk personally. He trusts her. We don't want anyone finding out one of the king's spies has gone rogue."
:::::If you're here, what became of the Spearhead? "She's still sailing. Master Kasan is at the helm while we're away. We've done so well against the Dominion that there're rumors King Fahara'jad's going to promote Kaleen soon. I hope so. She deserves it. She's done nothing but good for the Covenant."
::::Tell me more about Naruk. "He's a spy. Or he was until King Fahara'jad joined the Covenant. The king recalled his spies to Sentinel. Naruk refused. He's founded his own group—the Children of Yokuda. They think the Redguard should rule Bretons and Orcs, not ally with them."
::::How are you doing, Nicolene? "I buried my brothers. I didn't have enough for graves, but Kaleen helped me. She knows what it means to sacrifice for the Covenant. I don't want to talk about it."
==Conversations==
===Children of Yokuda===
After finding Captain Kaleen:
Nicolene: "Captain! What happened?"
Captain Kaleen: "Easy, Nicolene. I'm fine."
Nicolene: "You're not fine! Who did this to you? I'll kill them!"
Captain Kaleen: "Get me a healing potion, and we'll kill them together."
Nicolene: "Fine. Drink this. Now."
Captain Kaleen: "Oh. Much better."
In the cistern:
Captain Kaleen: "Lock the cistern gates! We'll keep them off the winch! Watch your back, Nicolene!"
Nicolene: "I am! I'm also watching yours!"
Captain Kaleen: "Don't get cocky!"
Nicolene: "Well, don't get dead!"
Spearhead Marine: "This isn't going to be remotely fun."
