Dominic Vaillant

Dominic Vaillant is a new student at Ninth House, hoping to join Umbra Coven. He is portrayed by Moritz Hau.
One misfortune after another, fate has been nothing but cruel to Dominic. Or rather, Nic, the name he now prefers. 
His entire childhood, he knew no family but his grandparents. His mother passed away when he was young, and his father was someone best left forgotten. He doesn't even dare utter his name, letting it fade from existence. His grandmother was the sweet baker next door, who ran her own bakery. Nic had spent countless childhood days at that place. The comforting aroma of pastries and warm atmosphere became a memory which brings him back to simpler times. His grandfather was an average retired accountant, who was usually the one at home and raising Nic while his wife was busy at work. Whenever he had a problem studying, he could always rely on his grandfather for help. The living conditions were modest and their home was filled with love and joy. Though a small family of three, their portraits never felt lacking.
But upon a deeper look, there were fading shadows lurking in the background. Something was off, buried along with the missing silhouettes. And suddenly the elder’s smiles twisted with unexplainable intentions.
Nic had a quick wit from a young age, the family's pride and joy. His childhood was spent buried in books, or playing mind games to sharpen his intellect. He excelled in academics, specifically literature and language courses. His grandparents had raised him to value his rationality and safety above all. But with such a mind naturally came curiosity. He couldn't help but dig deeper into the shadows that haunted their home and his mind.
It wasn't long before his world shattered in front of his eyes. His health had begun declining, gradually taking more days off classes until he became fully absent. The time between his teenage years blurred together. Watchful eyes followed him everywhere he went. The shadows inhabited his mind, slowly taking his sanity. His efforts to repel them were worthless. He felt cursed, no, he was cursed. He grew silent, cold, as if he began to lose his humanity. It was unexplainable to the rest, how someone full of potential could meet such a cruel fate. But Nic knew. And he couldn't dare speak of it.
