## History

### Pre-Trial

Nick is first seen in the first episode. He and Glenn are waiting for a ride to a soccer tournament. Nick is introduced unashamedly smoking a blunt he stole from Glenn. He allows Glenn to take the blunt and they get in the car, and are pulled through a portal together with the dads and their sons.

Upon being pulled into the Forgotten Realms Nick is sold to slavery by The Lance. However, he is rescued from this fate by a gang of thieves called the Watermice, that he joins. When the Dads come to look for Nick he reveals himself to be alive and well by jumping down from a tree and striking a blade pose.

Nick tells the dads that he has been cursed and cannot leave unless he retrieves the Battle Axe of Hatred. This is a ruse, as in reality Nick simply wants to hang out with Glenn and the Watermice. He also introduces Glenn to drug flowers and suggests that they start a father-son drug operation.

The dads steal the Battle Axe of Hatred from the Redbrands, a rival gang. As they return to the Watermice camp, the Redbrands follow and challenge the Watermice to a Battle of the Bands.

The dads and Nick scheme that Glenn and Nick will perform together and the other dads will sabotage the Rebdrands' band from the inside. This fails when Ron gives the most amazing performance known to man. Nick and Glenn decide to run from what they see as certain death.

Nick successfully hotwires Darryl's van and he and Glenn head to Waterdeep, where they head to Bull E. Wug's to find connections for starting drug trade. Instead they discover the Unfortunate Foster Children fighting ring and a UFC fighter Paeden. Glenn asks Nick if Nick is going to get into the fight, and Nick, in hopes that Glenn will think he is cool, gets in. Glenn fixes the fight and asks Paeden to throw it, and though Darryl interrupts the fight, Nick manages to pin Paeden.

The other Dads are furious at Glenn and eventually Glenn reluctantly apologizes despite Nick's wishes. Nick is then taken over by purple magic and a voice that berates Glenn for being unable to raise a child. Then Nick regains himself and starts disappearing.

## Relationships

Nick and Glenn have a complicated relationship. They care for each other greatly, but Glenn fails to act as a responsible father figure never having had one himself. Nick on the other hand wants to impress Glenn, going as far as to smoke weed despite not liking it himself.
