Nisis has the duty and ability to make the evening come. He and his twin brother Gweldas make sure the alternation of Night and Day is done and bring light to the mortals. The moon is Nisis' heart and he rises it every night since the sky was created. For this purpose, he grew wings which make him able to fly.
He is the creator of "black magic", which is derived from Altea's original magic and whose strength comes from the moon. He fights using this offensive power but also is a great warrior who can handle several weapons.
Nisis is a mature, serious and responsible person. He has good intentions but a bad temper and acts cold and cynical most of the time. He's often on the defensive and can react with aggressiveness. He struggles hiding his pessimism and weariness and has some kind of aversion for naivety and gullibility.
After being abused by his father, he developed trust issues and started showing signs of depression and anxiety. He protects himself from this permanent angst with irritability and can't control his rage. Nisis is easy to anger and often argues with people, his brother especially; when he's upset, it's hard for him to communicate and he can hurt people saying harmful things he does not always think. He usually regrets it right after but has trouble apologizing because he's too proud and stubborn.
He's rather resentful and will rarely give a second chance to someone he thinks hurt him on purpose. He would never hesitate to confront someone who lashed out at his loved ones. His general anger comes with violence issues and Nisis sometimes has to force himself not to fight or kill people.
Nisis quickly gets tired of long conversations and couldn't be considered as very sociable. However, he cares a lot about the few people he's close to and either shows this love with an over-protective behavior, or by softening a bit when he feels happy or confident.
He finds joy in music and singing alone at night appeases him.
He's a strict father who wants his children to be mature and stay safe, but sometimes accidentally acts toxic because he lacked good parental models as a kid.
Nisis was born in 207 at the same time as his twin brother Gweldas. Their pregnancy was accidental and Theraël was planning to abort them, but Yevlan pressured her into keeping them.
In his childhood, Nisis spent his time fighting with his brother. They had a strong hate for each other because of their opposite personalities, but also because they were both seeking for their mother's attention and love. They also became rivals and kept arguing about the throne, both wanting to become its heir.
In 273, Gweldas declared war on Nisis, who didn't take him seriously and thought he was too weak to actually attack him. His pride and arrogance caused him to lose the war because he prepared it at the very last moment : Gweldas became the official heir and they agreed that the elves would live at day and rest at night.
After this incident, Yevlan and Theraël decided they would have to raise two daughters together, Aurore and Crépuscule, so they would bury the hatchet and become closer. They finally reconciliated, started bonding and even took care of their younger sibling Azran hand in hand. A few years later, Gweldas gave Nisis the throne because the responsibilities it came with were too hard for him.
Nisis was honored to join the Council and tried bonding with his father a bit more. He accidentally discovered about his adultery and was ultimately raped by him. Threatening to hurt his brother if he talked about it, Yevlan abused him for 40 years and Nisis developed chronical depression and anxiety.
After being beaten unconcious by his father in 332, he suddenly grew up to protect himself and the abuse stopped.
In 360, Nisis adopted Wyn, a mortal baby who became his son and he struggled to raise because of his past traumas.
When Yevlan was in power and ruled as a tyrant on Altea, he was imprisoned and tortured for questioning his orders, then joined the revolution motivated by the suicide of his daughter.
Nisis is a secret and distant person. He maintains cordial relationships with most his family but puts his trust in very few people. He's close to his twin brother Gweldas and his only true friends are Jaswinn, Ugraihn and Klavia.
He has non-reciprocate love feelings for Jaswinn and never had a romantic or sexual partner in his life.
He raises his daughters Aurore and Crépuscule with Gweldas and is the single father of Wyn.
The relationship between Nisis and Gweldas positively evolved through years. In their childhood, they spent their time fighting because they were polar opposites and hated each other's personality. They also were in permanent rivalry for the throne and their mother's attention, so they caused a lot of trouble and their conflict even resulted in a 8 years long war.
After Theraël gave them the responsibility to raise Aurore and Crépuscule together and because Nisis stopped despising Gweldas, their relationship got better and they started bonding.
They are now fusional and rarely seen without each other. In opposition to Gweldas, Nisis doesn't show much love through hugs and kind words. He will rather act caring and protective, like when he almost got killed in a fight with Valryn or accepted Yevlan's abuse to protect Gweldas.
Nisis would lose his mind if his brother was hurt. He's constantly worried that his innocence and lack of intelligence could put him in danger and carefully watches over him.
He someimes is tired by Gweldas because his extremely sociable, energetic and noisy personality annoys him. In these moments, he either distances himself or just yells at him. They sometimes still argue because of his anger issues and Gweldas' immaturity : Nisis made him cry multiple times treating him rudely and regretted afterwards.
They never fought again but there still are tensions when it comes to raising their daughters. Gweldas wants them to have fun and stay innocent while Nisis tries to make them more mature and responsible. He easily gets mad when he sees Gweldas encouraging or even joining the stupid things they do.
Jaswinn is Nisis' best friend. They met in Nisis' early childhood when Jaswinn was adult already, but Nisis still fell in love with him. Even after he grew up, this love was never reciprocate since Jaswinn is straight, married and happy with his wife.
Even after Nisis was forced under Azran's manipulation to confess to Jaswinn, they remained great friends and their bond never faded away. They regularly hang out together, both being each other's safe place.
Nisis acts very soft and caring with him. He knows and respects his boundaries, almost feeling honored to be one of the rare people Jaswinn accepts to talk to. They spend a lot of nights together, sometimes in complete silence, their calm and reserved personalities perfectly matching.
Jaswinn shows a huge interest in Nisis' music, which relaxes him and makes him happy : he's one of his muses and biggest inspiration. He also is a reliable moral support whose great parental advices helped him fixing his damaged relationship with his son.
Yevlan is Nisis' father but he refuses to see him that way. When he was a child, they struggled to create a bond because Nisis saw him as too immature and irresponsible; yet he still had a deep respect and love for him.
Their relationship degraded during his teenage years : after Nisis accidentally discovered about his infidelity, Yevlan raped him for the first time. He threatend to assult his brother too if he talked about it and carried on with the abuse for 40 years. It stopped in 330 only because Yevlan saw Nisis as unattractive when he brutally grew up.
Nisis is completely traumatized by his father he now hates, despises and fears at the same time. He never hesitates to express it publicly and tries to let everybody know that he is a bad person. Nisis therefore passes as the mean one when he insults him in front of the others. Nobody understands where this hate and aggressivity come from because Yevlan acts like a loving and sweet father who's treated rudely for no reason.
Despite trying to keep as many people as possible away from him, Nisis knows it is hopeless and that Yevlan will always be loved and admired. Since he can't take the risk to talk about the abuse, he has nothing to prove Yevlan is a manipulative criminal.
When he became a father himself, Nisis was terrified to become like him. Now his biggest fear is that Yevlan could assault his children too and his traumas made him an over-protective and extremely strict parent. This behavior almost destroyed his relationship with his son Wyn, who adored Yevlan and started hating Nisis who forbade him to see him for no apparent reason.
He will be devastated to discover Yevlan raped Crépuscule and that he couldn't protect her despite perfectly knowing about his criminal actions and deviances.
Wyn is Nisis' youngest child, a mortal baby he adopted on Earth and he blessed with immortality.
His love for him is infinite and he swore to protect him at all cost. Being terrified Yevlan could hurt or abuse him, Nisis developed an extreme and toxic severity towards him, trying to control his life to protect him.
When Wyn was very young, he taught him the world was a dangerous place and forbade him to leave Altea. Whenever he would go out of his room, Nisis used to follow him everywhere and gave him very little liberties.
He also tried to keep him away from Yevlan, in vain, and almost refused that he made friends because he couldn't trust in them.
His excessive strictness caused him to constantly argue with his son, who became resentful and started hating him. This situation psychologically damaged Nisis who begged for Jaswinn's help : his advices finally bettered their relationship.
When he understood over-controlling his son was counter-productive, he started giving him more liberties and independance. Wyn forgave his past mistakes, stopped hating him and they became close again.
Aurore and Crépuscule are Nisis and Gweldas' twin daughters. Theraël created them by mixing both their genes, thinking they would get along better if they started a family.
Even if they were technically unwanted, Nisis always's loved his daughters. When they were born, he was still victim of incest from Yevlan and was scared he could become like him and assault them or hurt them too. Because of this fear, he first distanced himself from Aurore and Crépuscule and left it to Gweldas to raise them.
After having worked on it, Nisis came back to them and started bringing them up.
Gweldas and he have very opposite views on their education : Gweldas accords them almost everything and thinks the trouble they cause is cute and innocent, while Nisis desperately tries to put them back on the right track.
Since he is more permessive, Aurore and Crépuscule tend to be closer to Gweldas and they spend more time together because their personalities match better. Nonetheless, Nisis still created a strong bond with his daughters who respect him and love him back despite constantly disobeying him.
He's the only person who's able to tell them apart because he can differanciate the sound of their voices.
Nisis will never recover from Crépuscule's suicide and takes the blame for the sex abuse she lived, considering he couldn't protect her from Yevlan.
When Azran was still a child, Nisis and them had a strong and loving relationship. Nisis took a great care of his sibling, Gweldas and he giving them the affection they didn't receive from their mother.
Azran used to admire their big brothers and grew their own wings to look like them : Nisis then taught them how to preen and fly safely and they would spend most of their days together.
Unfortunately, a conflict between Nisis and Gweldas pushed them to neglect Azran a bit and they started thinking they hated them for doing something wrong.
After "comforting" them, Yevlan manipulated Azran and convinced them the twins despised them. The child developed an inferiority complex and started lusting after power to gain some recognition. Yevlan nourished this feeling until Azran hated their brothers out of jealousy.
Azran decided to hurt Nisis as a revenge and played him a nasty trick which resulted in Nisis actually hating them back. They never made up afterwards and therefore Nisis was not surprised to see Azran corrupt themselves. He still felt sad to lose the sibling he used to love but never expressed it and contrary to Gweldas, didn't try to excuse them or get them back. He almost feel relieved when they were banished from Altea.
Klavia befriended Nisis a bit after he became the heir to the throne and joined the Council. Both being loyal, honest and reasonable, they share the same principles and agree on many things. They have a great esteem for each other despite not talking much.
Klavia was the first person to suspect Yevlan from abusing him as a child, but he refused to talk it out. After Yevlan was defeated at the end of the story, Nisis finally confessed to her so his father would be properly judged for this crime. Even if he felt forced to talk about it, Nisis still was relieved to have someone he could trust, turn to and to support him.
Nisis is Ugraihn's first friend. When he arrived on Altea, most of the Gods feared and didn't trust Ugraihn because of his unglorious origins. Nisis refused to judge him because his relationship with Yevlan taught him that not all children reproduce or are responsible for their parents' bad actions.
After Nisis reassured Ugraihn and told him he was not doomed to become like his parents, they created a strong bond and started seeing each other oftenly.
They usually don't talk a lot but find peace in expressing themselves by training together, seeing their friendly fights as cathartic.
Ugraihn crafted Nisis a lot of swords and weapons; he cherishes and kept them all.
The two of them became friends in 370, after Nisis temporarily experienced the same unpopularity and rejection as him.
Spending time with Nisis, Acherus also met and befriended Wyn. At first, Nisis was happy and relieved to see Wyn frequent people outside of Yevlan. His feelings towards Acherus changed when he heard him telling Wyn he "loved him", mistaking this awkward affection declaration for romantic interest. Thinking Acherus could abuse his son like Yevlan did him, he forbade them to see each other again.
After Jaswinn advised him, Nisis realized he was wrong and let them be friends again. However, he definetly started hating Acherus again after he accidentally gave Wyn nightmares. He threatened to kill him if he dared approach his son again, and was finally happy to see Acherus banished from Altea.
Nisis has a strong despise from Valryn since he started hitting his brother Gweldas. He always tried to defend his brother from him, not caring about the consequences and wounds it caused him.
When Valryn tried to kill Gweldas to steal the sun from him, Nisis fought him and almost died in the process but never regretted it.
He thinks Valryn clearly deserved his destitution, doesn't believe he can redeemed and insulted him multiple times.
Jaliana is Nisis' pet Gheran who follows him everywhere. He knows she's in love with him but doesn't reciprocate her feelings. He still treats her with a lot of affection and care. Jaliana brings him happiness and having a pet makes him feel less lonely.
He sees her as a cute and innocent little creature he has to protect and cherish.
