— BIOGRAPHY .
Nikolai was born and raised in Oslo, being part of a powerful family in Norway that built their empire through illegal business, mostly weapons production. His father was the boss of the biggest local mob called “Fólcvíg". Extreme military training, emotional abuse and violence were the methods applied to turn him into a weapon. The perfect soldier.
Grew up according to plan, receiving his position in the organization when he was old enough, becoming a great ally of his father, who needed someone he could trust to watch all the business closely. Being a sharp shooter and having deep knowledge of weapons, Nik took his role as a caporegime, having the authority to manage the weapons production and trading process. The business grew and expanded well, mainly through European territory, giving rise to new alliances.
The Volkov family was a great support network for many years, making it opportune for both to officiate the alliance in a more solid way. That's how Nikolai met Lydja, who would become his fiancée in a not-too-distant future. The couple lived in Moscow during their quick engagement. Their relationship became genuine, and he found a companion in Lydja, the only moment when he found himself touched by the emotional side.
They returned to Oslo, where the wedding would take place, being greeted with high expectations of a successful union, but it was far from a happy ending.
The night before the wedding, the family was surprised, an ambush led by none other than their Russian allies, driven by the hunger for power. The bloodthirsty attack was successful, annihilating the mob and Eriksen family.
Due to Nikolai's skills, the then twenty-four year old man's life was spared, being sent to Russia, where he was kept on a tight leash under the vigilant eyes of his enemies.
He was the mind behind the army's weapons production, later becoming their main weapon as a hitman. Each perfectly completed task earned the man recognition and trust from his abductors. He obtained information of what had happened to his family, discovering that another member was also still alive; his younger sister. Driven by revenge, Nikolai killed the organization's leaders, leaving Russia.
