Character Bio

Spoiler Alert!

"Iskra."

Nicholas' whispered call echoed in the hallway, pulling Iskra from the moonlit view of Feylund. Nicholas appeared uncharacteristically focussed, but she raised a disapproving eyebrow at him nonetheless. Nicholas advanced down the corridor, a sinister smile creeping across his face.

"Cockiness is unbecoming in a noble," Iskra said bluntly, and turned back to the balcony. She heard Nicholas' throaty chuckle and felt him slink up behind her; his arms crept around her midsection. He rested his chin in the hollow of her neck, silent.

"I want to show you something," Nicholas said after a moment. There was an earnest excitement in his voice that Iskra had not heard before. She hesitated, and he released her and floated up off the balcony, hovering in midair and extending his hand. Still that sinister smile.

"Come!" he said, his eyes pleading, eager to share something important. But what? Iskra cocked her head, suspicious. She had become used to his plans and schemes, his chronic deviousness. This, however, was almost too sincere for him, and it put her off guard.

"Tell me what it is first," she said. "Then I might follow you. Your recklessness has nearly destroyed us more than once."

Nicholas bared his fangs as his smile widened.

"It is ... our future."

Bloodborn Rising
Each time Nicholas Esenwein destroys a figure, you may remove a wound marker from this Army Card. If the destroyed figure was small or medium, and not undead, replace that figure immediately, if possible, with one of your own previously destroyed Thralls. Nicholas Esenwein may not use Bloodborn rising on destructible object.

Overextend Attack
After taking a turn with Nicholas Esenwein, you may place a wound marker on Nicholas Esenwein and take another turn with him. You may only use this power once per round.

Flying
When counting spaces for Nicholas Esenwein’s movement, ignore elevations. Nicholas Esenwein may fly over water without stopping, pass over figures without becoming engaged, and fly over obstacles such as ruins. When Nicholas Esenwein starts to fly, if he is engaged he will take and leaving engagement attacks.

Power Ranking and Master Index
Nicholas Esenwein- He's no Cyprien, but healing and bringing back a figure with one kill is a solid combo. If stronger Thralls arrive, he gets stronger. B -by dok
