Trump Image hopefully coming soon...

Nick showed up in Amber about two years or so after the Patternfall War. He was brought there by Fiona, who explained that Brand had abandoned the poor chap out in Shadow, and was ignorant of anything Amberish. Because of his ignorance, he was allowed to stay, with Auntie Fiona acting as his patron, at least in the early years.

It became obvious that Nick was troubled, but after he walked the Pattern (proving he was the blood of Amber), he seemed to settle down, and become more normal, less bizarre in some of his behavior. He's not exactly a people person, but he's polite and courteous.

He's spent the remaining years in Amber, with only short forays out into Shadow (normally accompanied by someone). Rumors abound about him.
BR> The facts that are known about him are thus: He's a drunkard, much like Random or Corwin when they were younger (or older, take yer pick), and it seems his favorite drink is laundanum (an opium derivative). He smokes. He is also a musical prodigy, and his favorite instrument is the violin, electric or otherwise, normally otherwise in Amber. Quite often, he locks himself in his room, taking his meals in there. During these times, it's said he simply composes his music, and has indeed produced some of the common music about Amber nowadays. Most of it is incredibly depressing however, but some waltzes have made their way into popularity. He doesn't have any strong ties to any of his family as of yet, though Fiona might be an exception. Neither are talking on the issue. While he is not close to Vialle, he is known to pay her social calls, and seems quite fond of her as well. He also has yet to have a 'date' with any lady in Amber, though there are some that are quite willing...producing another ton of rumors. Some of those include that he lost his lady love in Shadow, that he's some sort of priest or has taken vows of chastity, and that he's gay (after all, he *is* a musician).

Anyone who has shown up in Amber after this time might have met Nick on social occasions or been dumped into Nick's lap for a tour of the castle. So, it is entirely possible that quite a few characters have met him. Anyone wishing to establish a background between their character and Nick, feel free to email me. :) Otherwise, it can easily be assumed that their character may have met him...and he was polite and somewhat creepy, and that's that. :)
