Nikolai

Nikolai is an immigrant from Prussia and the group leader of immigrants joining the caravan leading from Fort Worth to Oregon.
Biography
He was made the leader of the immigrants who were looking to make their way from Fort Worth, Texas to Oregon. Josef took over as the de facto leader since he was able to speak English. Nikolai eventually learned English during the journey. In Wyoming, when Shea made the decision to change courses to Montana to hunker down for the winter, he refused along with many of the immigrants and chose to head west to Oregon. That decision cost them dearly as everyone who didn't follow Shea was murdered by bandits. We do see glimpses of Nikolai who was severely wounded but barely alive. It is unclear if he was the sole survivor or succumbed to the attack.
