Background=Born into the harsh realities of an impoverished neighborhood in New York City, Nicky's life was marked by hardship from the start. His father, a good-for-nothing drunk, was responsible for the death of his mother, a tragic incident that occurred during a violent rage. The event left a young Nicky orphaned and scarred, both physically and emotionally. Child Protective Services swiftly intervened, arresting his father and removing Nicky from his tumultuous home. He was shuffled from one foster home to another, never finding a place where he truly felt he belonged. This unstable upbringing forged in him a hardened exterior, an instinct for survival that would serve him well in the harsh world he was about to enter. Finding solace and a perverse sense of security, he allied himself with a local street gang. Offering protection from bullies and a way to earn money, the gang life drew him in. Nicky quickly earned a reputation for his aggressive nature and his willingness to dive headfirst into dangerous situations. His body bore the marks of this tumultuous existence, a tapestry of scars from countless knife fights, beatings, and violent street encounters. During one particularly savage clash with a rival gang member, he lost the vision in his left eye, a permanent reminder of the price he paid for his survival. His reckless lifestyle and continuous involvement in petty crimes and gang activities led him to a slippery slope, eventually culminating in a fateful robbery. Unbeknownst to him, the man he targeted was wealthy and influential. When the police finally caught up with him, he found himself facing multiple convictions for assault and robbery, and was thrown into prison. Prison life was harsh, but Nicky was tougher. He asserted his dominance early on, utilizing his size, strength, and the fearsome, one-eyed glare that made him an imposing figure. He was frequently tested by other inmates seeking to challenge his authority or earn some street credibility. But just as he had done all his life, Nicky faced each challenge head-on, refusing to be broken by the unforgiving world he found himself in.
