Niko Arlington

== Background ==
Niko Lee was born on December 2, 1994 to an unnamed mother and father. She has a younger sister named Alice, who was born when she was four after her parents married. When Niko was ten, she came home from school with her sister to find their parents tied up in their kitchen and watched their deaths at the hands of who are later revealed to be Richard and William Dawes ("Niko"). She and her sister were separated and put into the foster system, but they were still allowed to keep in touch. Niko was adopted last, after bouncing around from foster home to foster home until she met Wendy and Mariela Keating. 
Niko spent the majority of her childhood with her nose in books, fiction or non-fiction, wishing either to learn or to escape it all. She later said she favored psychological thrillers and textbooks to try and understand both herself and why someone would do what they did to her parents ("Normal People"). She went to therapy on and off for years, but she often bounced around from therapist to therapist because of her "confrontational attitude." She did excellent in school and signed up for the police academy the moment she graduated. 
While attending the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Niko worked as a police officer, partnered with Julian Vaughn, and eventually rose through the ranks to become the youngest detective in Vegas history ("Also Known As"). The night of her graduation, she met Lawrence Howell, a man who claimed to have just graduated from UNLV with his master's. They hit it off, and Niko confided in him about everything, even work, which sometimes included classified information. She told him about her current case, a man who was kidnapping and murdering various prostitutes down the Strip.
The next day, Niko was kidnapped under the guise of Lawrence picking her up from work. He drove her out to a dilapidated home in the Mojave Desert, and tortured her before finally attempting to bury her alive. Niko managed to incapacitate him, and with the knife he used to torture her, stabbed him twenty-three times in a fit of rage and despair. She escaped the house with a bag of chips and barely even the clothes on her back and trekked through the Mojave for two days before being found by Julian ("Homecoming"). In a police interview, when asked why she continued to stab Lawrence after he was dead, Niko looked the officer who asked her the question in the eye and said, "I don't know. The same reason why you turned off your bodycam emptied your clip at that unarmed rapist last month." She was sent home afterward on medical leave, but quit her job and turned in her badge her first week back. The same day, she was offered a job at the Agency ("The Ides"). 
Niko started working at the Agency as an operative going under the alias Deimos, after the god of terror and dread. The only stipulation to her employment was the fact that she needed to work with a partner until further notice after a psychological evaluation made the Agency worried she was a bit of a "loose cannon" when working alone. She was briefly partnered with a couple of operatives before being partnered with new operative Sawyer Arlington for the foreseeable future. ("Clancy")
