THL Nickolaus [Niko] Phaistos

Persona

Niko is a 15th Century Greek Archer from the island of Crete. He could not find work on the island, so he took a merchant ship to Venice. There he began to learn the art of the rapier. After winning some notoriety as an archer, he was hired by the Medici family. His last job was to hunt down their wayward daughter, Cecilia de Medici, and bring her back. He caught up with her in Persia, but she captured him. Even though, she was a skilled assassin, she spared his live. Niko is now indebted to Cecilia and happily works for her.
