Nicholas can be a bit rough with words, but he does care for his partners, allies, or friends. He is calm under pressure, though his words can express his displeasure.

## **Survival Mission**

Nicholas was presumably transferred from the US military to Kanora's military to defend a military base alongside Commander **Jason Addreal**, but the base was later lost to Arnarian soldiers. He later became a part of a team made up of himself, Jason, and 4 members of Kanora's Storm Division with the goal of taking back the fallen military base.

While trying to take back the base that he and Jason lost, Nicholas and the team were ambushed by Arnarian soldiers guarding the newly captured base. The team successfully defeated the soldiers and regained control of the base, but a missile was launched at the orders of an unknown enemy figure at the base, destroying it.

Once the team reached the enemy base David, Nicholas, and Joshua infiltrated the base while Nima and Jason created a diversion. While inside the base, however, David, Nicholas, and Joshua were ambushed by the man who ordered the missile launch, introducing himself as **Prime**, an android, who exposed David and Nicholas' past affiliation with Operation Ghost, an anti-Germany rebellion. Nima and Jason soon joined the fight and tried to kill Prime using explosives, but was unsuccessful as Prime had quickly disposed the explosives before they exploded. Eventually Prime was able to injure and incapacitate Joshua and Nicholas, and later Nima as well. The team, however, was saved when a car suddenly drove in Prime, and Jeremy was revealed to be the driver. Nima, Nicholas, and Joshua were then carried back to the armored car they first came in. Prime was later defeated by Jeremy with a pair of brass knuckles, and self-destructed as a last resort to prevent being studied by the Storm Division.

A few months after the end of the Kanora-Arnaria war, Nicholas was ambushed by Ghost members, but managed to either get away or beat them. He quickly went to see David, whom Nicholas and Nima witnessed was also fending off against Ghost attacks in the Storm Division base's garden. After killing the Ghost members, Nicholas and David flew to England to put an end to the Operation Ghost leader's, Eva Burton's, plans to overthrow Germany.
