![]() ![]() ![]() Strong hints of a violent, criminal past surface when, for example, he says it is illegal for him to have a firearm is an expert with first aid kits and when badly hurt, he blurts out, "It's been a long time… since I've felt this bad." Nick speaks with a Boston wiseguy accent, an attribute that accentuates perceptions of a shady past and a personality impregnated with a capacity for violence. This is most likely a result from his past as a con artist. Nick is also quite abrasive when talking and is not hesitant to insult others, especially if they cause a misdemeanor on him. Moreover, he is quite "unfriendly" when encountering the other Survivors at first and constantly avoids the subject of informing others his name. For example, at the beginning of the game, he either tells the others not to bother remembering his name, as he does not intend to stay with them long, or forgoes mentioning his name when asked. Nick's autonomous personality makes him reluctant to integrate fully with the group. His general attitude makes Nick the group's older brother. Almost everyone he meets quickly picks up on these attributes and takes a wary or active dislike to him. Nick's sarcasm, pessimism, and self-centered cynicism arguably make him the most antagonistic character, or anti-hero, in the series. Given that Nick appears to be an American citizen and thus covered by the Second Amendment, this likely means that he is a convicted felon, who are not legally allowed to own or carry guns. He's also had some trouble with the law as he's admittedly a con-man and announces it is illegal for him to have possession of a firearm. It is mentioned on multiple occasions that he was previously married, possibly multiple times. It can be gathered from his appearance that he is a ladies' man as he has lipstick smudged on his collar as well as a love bite, or hickey, on his neck. He has multiple rings on his finger, one of which bears a symbol belonging to a gang. Nick wears a white suit and blue shirt he claims is worth $10,000. But he’s going to have to learn to trust them if he wants to survive. Now he finds himself forced together with three complete strangers in a fragile alliance that goes against every instinct he lives by. Instead he found a city about to be engulfed by infection. He’d come down to Savannah looking for some gullible fish on the riverboat gambling cruise circuit. A lifetime of drifting from city to city, finding back-alley card games and trying to stay out of jail has taught Nick two valuable lessons: Don’t trust anyone, and look out for number one. ![]()
