Nicolas Evens Childhood
Nicolas Evens as born on December 21st, the day of the winter solstice to Victoria Evens and Hades. He was said to be a troubled kid often having trouble sleeping for the first months after his birth.

Every year on his birthday since he was the age of three, he would obtain a package delivery from the mailman, who at the time was Hades in disguse, which contained a toy. The first toy was a mytho magic action figure that was ironically a toy figurine of Hades, the God of the Underworld.

After Nicolas reached the age of seven, he started seeing things. Strange creatures would follow him. He'd often try telling an adult but most of the time, they would just laugh at him or play it off like he was just imagining things.

When he started third grade, he started having problems in school, often failing classes and if that wasn't bad enough he started getting into fights. Nicolas got expelled at the age of eight, during his third grade year. This cycled down as he would continue to get expelled for the next five years.

When he finally reached seventh grade, he started reading books. He couldn't bare to read normal books, so he tried reading a book on the school approved academics list. This book was title ''The Illiad. ''At first the book was quite difficult in reading, considering he had dyslexia and he had a poor reading level, but as he continued it drew him into the story. In eight grade, he finished the book and started reading The Odyssey, a tale that told much about the hero Odysseus.

Eventually Nicolas found his way through all the pain and hatred, and realized what he truly was meant to do. Traveling away from home, he made his way towards Long Island Sound and with that arrived at the Valley.

Nicolas didn't accept the idea of being a demigod, but with his arriveal at a mystical camp site, he found himself believing most of the stories. He was then claimed by Hades after making friends with Liz and eventually was honored as the leader and hero of camp after proving himself in battle and skills.

At some point in time, Nicolas made friends with numerous characters, some are well known throughout the community and others are known only by a certain factor. Nicolas Even became great friends with Gleeson Hedge and Grover Underwood, two of the saytrs known from the Percy Jackson era. This indicates that saytrs live longer than most humans do or at least can.

Even though Nicolas Evens could study in the Valley, he chooses to go back to school after Markus made a deal with Chiron about using the Mist. Nicolas also learned how to control the Mist and alter various people's reality in order to protect himself.

Nicolas eventually made it to the same school that Adam was at and didn't decide to allow Adam to know he was there until right before the fire happened.

Hades Valued his son as person that had potential and because of this he reached out to him. It wasn't until after Nicolas controled his powers that he began excepting him, trying to prove the Hades that he didn't need his help when he was younger and didn't need it "Now".

Nyx doesn't view Nicholas as just a mere demigod but as the only demigod that could possibly pose a threat to her. She deems him so worthy that she decides to keep him alive long enough to meet him and even attempt at recruiting him.

Eros is the only pronogenoi that is known to be good hearted this stems off the fact that he is the essence of love and the promisquity of sexual desire.

Illiad
The blade was given to him upon him being claimed as a child of Hades. This blade is a three foot long celestial bronze sword with a bronze gaurd. Nicolas named it the Illiad because it was the first book that he read about Greek Mythology. He enjoyed it so much that he was facinated by the world of the Greek Humanities.

Nicolas named it Reaper because it had the tendency of sucking the life out of any and all within it's range including it's weilder. The blade is four feet long and has a metalic stygian iron gaurd and a shiny luster almost like it were made of steel.
