Relationships

Family

Niko'lai hails from a small commune in the mountains of Gyr Abania. His clan consisted of 3 small Moon Keeper families. He has a twin brother, 5 sisters, and 8 cousins. When he was 8 he was captured by a cruel Elezen, who performed strange experements on him, and grafted him with strange magitek implants that give him unique abilities. When he was 10, he was sold to the Garlean Army to be used as a weapon, where they employed his abilities in their campaign to subjugate Ala Mhigo.

Companions of Note

• Zanin Briggs: Best Friend, and confidant, almost to the point of being a second conscience for Niko. Dubbed "Pack Brother". An Uld'ahn ex-gladiator, he turned away from his violent past to become a healer. Zanin is committed to helping Niko'lai find his way in life.
• Tristan Reilley: A former lover, and close ally. Tristan is an outspoken Hyur who is highly sociable. Tristan is always supportive of Niko'lai, though the two rarely see eye to eye in matters of the heart. He and Zanin are Niko'lai's honorary "Pack brothers"
• Rheah'na Serras: A fiery female Keeper. Lighthearted, carefree, and hardly modest, she has captured NIko's attention since their fist hunt. While she is often seen teasing Niko'lai, and occasionally lighting his tail on fire, she is also quick to turn that fire on anyone who would wish harm on him.
