About
Nick is a 20 year old college student in UCD. He would be described as a nerdy, shy kind of lad. Nick didn't have much luck with dating and with girls in general until he finally got his match on Tinder. He is a bit of a coward with a trust in the government and anything official. He doesn't like to leave his comfort zone.

Before Bray
Nick was just an average college student from South Dublin who was studying engineering in UCD. Before that he attended St. Andrews college. Not big into sport but was involved in student societies.

Nick during the Bray Trilogy
Nick starts off his journey in UCD, Dublin. After months of no luck on the popular dating app Tinder, he finally got a match with a woman called Emily who lives in Bray. the two arrive to meet up in the local town. The two date in Bealin's Bar on Blessington street, one of the lesser known bars in Bray. After the successful date the two head back to Emily's house and they both cuddle in a special way. It is during this sex fueled alcohol binge the two pass out. This is when the Bray Slasher, Bray's infamous serial killer strikes. He stabs Emily in her sleep without waking Nick.

Nick wakes up the next morning with a bloody Emily beside him. He tries to phone the local police to be shocked to see that they are already outside to arrest him for the murder. Nick escapes the police, and concludes that he must have been framed for the murder. Before he can investigate further he is kidnapped by no other than the Slasher himself. Before the Slasher can tie up loose ends there is a knock on the door. While the slasher is distracted, Nick makes his escape. While escaping he sees the bar he was in last night. While there he meets Sally, the twin sister of Emily. It is there they both team up and go towards Bray head, where the Slasher lives.

While keeping an eye out for the slasher, both Nick and Sally bond. Not really. They don't bond at all. However two police officers (Brad and Chad) see Nick and call for back up. Nick is shot by the police, however Sally fights them off before they can kill Nick. Sally explains that the Bray police are corrupt and not to be trusted. Sally says she must go alone to Town Hall to confront the mayor. Nick wants to go to but is knocked out by Sally. He wakes back up in Bealin's bar and has a bit of a crisis. However no other than Shia la Beouf convinces Nick to go to town Hall and confront the mayor himself. While at town hall he finds the mayor. When he confronts him, she confesses everything to him. Before he can do anything, Nick is found by security and beaten.

The police beat Nick to sign a confession for all the murders, including Emily. He finally breaks and signs the confession. Before he dies he is convinced that good can still happen. Nick is then killed by a police executioner.
