==Biography==
===Early Life===
Nico di Angelo was born before World War II, which was before Hades and his brothers took an oath to have no more Demigod children. He had an older sister named Bianca di Angelo. Their mother, Maria, died when Zeus struck the hotel they were staying in with lightning in order to kill the siblings. However, they were saved by Hades. Appearently, Hades was not capable of protecting their mother in time. Both of them were brought to the Lotus Casino by the Fury Alecto, who was disguised as a lawyer for their own safety. Alecto was also instructed by Hades to bathe the two in the River Lethe to wipe their memories. Sometime before being placed in the lotus Casino, Bianca and Nico lived in Washington D.C. for a time. 
After what the siblings thought was a month in the Lotus Casino (which was actually about 70 years), they were taken out by a lawyer. This lawyer however was a different lawyer than the one who carried them in. Hades released them from the Lotus Hotel because he wanted one of them to be the child of Prophecy and not the "Idiot" son of Poseidon, Aka Percy Jackson. They were brought to a military school in Maine, paid for by Hades using what they think is a trust fund left to them by their parents.
===Teen Life===
Nico was first intorduced, during The Titan's Curse, along with his sister at Westover Hall, in Bar Harbor Maine. Bianca and Nico were almost kidnapped by a manticore named Dr. Thorn. Thalia Grace, Grover Underwoood, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase attempted to save them, but it is the Hunters of Artemis who came to the rescue. The siblings were sought out by Grover, who believed them to be very powerful unknown half-bloods. Nico looks to be about teen and seems to be very interested in Mythomagic, a card game about Greek Mythology. But his twelve yeard old sister, Bianca accepts Artemis' proposal to become a Hunter, Nico gets angery at her for abandoing him. When Bianca goes on a quest to find Annabeth, Percy finds Nico eavesdropping on Bianca and Zoe Nightshade, and Nico successfully convinces Percy to promise to keep his sister safe on the quest. When Percy fails to complete said promise, Nico grows angery and Skeleton warriors rise before him. Afriad he screams at them to leave, and they vanish into a gapping hole. He is later said to have been claimed.
Nico is first seen in The Battle of the Labyrinth, through the Iris message that Bianca sent Percy. He has honed his powers as the son of Hades with help from the ghost King Minos, who had been training him. He tried to summon Bianca's ghost many times, but failed. Frustrated, he seeks to make a deal with his father by trading "a soul for a soul." Percy thinks that Nico is after him, but Nico is after someone else.
Nico decides to find the soul of someone who cheated death and trade it for Bianca's. He ends up meeting up with Annabeth, Percy, Tyson and Grover during their quest and eventually helps Daedalus by releasing his soul. He also sees Pan die.
Nico is first seen in The Last Olympian eavesdropping on the Titans. He later appears in person to help Percy on his task of getting an edge on the battle field. He takes him to the Underworld where he tricks him, and seems to have caused Percy imprisonment due to the fact that Hades wanted the Titans to win rather than be locked up in the Underworld for eternity.
Nico eventually grows to become a strong a well refined leader, as he becomes less selfish and even learns to let go of grudges which he has established by the end of The Battle of the Labyrinth. He seems to have become nicer and even more helpful to causes rather than an indifferent neutralist.
He also seems to gather information rather quickly, due to his talents throughout the Heroes of Olympus series.
===Current Life===
Nico seems to have lost contact with many of his friends to either quests or the war. Its unknown where Annabeth is, but he has mentioned her to Scott and also seems to have knowledge of when Percy became a god. Its also assumed that even Nico could possibly have the potential for being a God. Although he hasn't shown it yet. He might in a few more years.
==Personality==
===Mortal Personality===
Nico is quite sincere in wanting to help new demigods nowadyas. However, he still has a habing of being somewhat untrustworthy at times. This is shown many times through his history. He even would let things happen in order to get information, but eventually stand up against the ones who would offer up something for his help. He keeps to himself a lot and is pretty secretive, which causes plenty of problems throughout the lives of any who try and approach him. Nico wants to help Scott and see him grow as a hero in his own light. After the war was over, Nico was capable of becoming a more kinder and nicer guy. 
He can become grim and solitary and definitely a powerful character. His attitude change may happen whenever he is pushed up against a wall or when he needs to be alone or is frustrated in his strengths. When he becomes grin, he will believe that he will never be accepted by the living and the inner demons in his mind pick at him trying to cruppt his mind. Nico also seems to relive old memories and old grudges when his personality change hits him. Its also shown that with this attitude he is very naive and gullible, being able to believe in almost anything someone tells him. Nico is very quick to grow a bond with people and is also capable of growing attached to people, he also is even capable of showing hints of emotions such as kindness and infactuation.
Nico can also be very persistant, which is something good in a hero, but can also be his newest fatal flaw.

Over time the two have had a bit of a rocky road of Nico feeling betrayed because of Percy not keeping his promise, but they still are shown to have gotten over it. Nico used to have a crush on Percy and admitted this to Jason Grace in the Mark Of Athena.
