Personality[edit]

Nix was a member of the Las Vegas team, and took it very hard when measures against Cauldron capes came into play,<ref name="23.2 e2"/> or because she had a personal relationship with Pretender, who was detained due to the PRTs new measures.<ref name="23.2 e1">Every part of the Las Vegas team’s reaction to our arrival screamed dissatisfaction. Folded arms, the way none of them would meet our eyes, the very way they were positioned, so they were just enough in our way to make it clear they didn’t agree with what was going on, but not so close as to be with us.
[...]
Nix, Blowout, Leonid and Floret joined Satyrical in their anger. Heroes in more flamboyant and colorful costumes than normal, their moods a contrast in how dark they were. Spur and Ravine seemed more lost than angry, but the way they retreated into their group as we passed told me that they would side with their team over us. - Excerpt from Drone 23.2</ref>

Relationships[edit]

It is unknown if she remembers her sister<ref name="15.z"/> or that she herself was a Cauldron cape.

“Pretty sure it’s to your left. Start by going ten paces that way.”

I nodded.

It is unknown if her gas has the same properties as Nyx's, while it is not noted to the possibility exists that she is actively repressing the effect.

Story Start[edit]

Nix would eventually join the Las Vegas Protectorate, it was possible that like her sister she was brainwashed and placed there deliberately.<ref name="SB1">Cauldron's habit was to take all of the human experiments that turned out well, brainwash them, and then place them in larger organizations to support said organizations, fighting the natural tendency for parahumans to seek conflict (and thus making forming large committed groups hard). Shamrock could well have been slated for the Protectorate, Red Gauntlet, the Suits, or even the Nemesis program (being brainwashed with an auto-lose trigger against one client who paid a good sum, so that client could get a better position and climb faster in rep). - Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref><ref name="15.z">She stepped into the brightly lit corridors of Cauldron’s testing laboratory and strode down to the cells.

Thirty cells, filled with subjects. Thirty-one now. The cells didn’t appear to have doors, but the individuals within were all too aware of the dangers of stepping beyond the perimeters of their cells, or of trying to harass Alexandria as she strode by.

Only two-thirds of them were monstrous, affected by the formulas. Others would go free with alterations to their memories. Some would have fatal weaknesses inserted into their psyches, reason to hesitate at a crucial moment against a certain foe. - Excerpt from Interlude 15.z</ref>

Post-Echidna[edit]

Left with the rest of the Vegas Protectorate.<ref name="23.2 e2">Satyrical gestured, and most of his team joined the L.A. team members. I was left kneeling, still catching my breath. Satyr and Nix hung back, arms folded, exchanging surreptitious glances.
[...]
“You were going to leave the Protectorate? You had to have been.”

“Yeah.” It was Nix who spoke, not Satyr.

“Just like that?”

Nix shook her head. “It’s gone. Doomed. We lost Alexandria, we lost Legend and Eidolon. The new team doesn’t hit half as hard. Look at Rime. Taken out of action like that. Protectorate’s a shadow of what it was.”
[...]
“Alexandria worked for them,” I said.

Nix shrugged.

Arbiter looked up at Satyr and Nix, “If you leave, the Endbringers-”

Nix interrupted, “We’ll still fight Endbringers. But the Protectorate was going to take Pretender from us because of how he got his powers. It’s ridiculous.”

“He was still going to be on the team,” Arbiter said. “Just… we can’t let him be leader if he’s beholden to a group like that.”

“It shouldn’t matter.” - Excerpt from Drone 23.2</ref>

Post-Timeskip[edit]

Presumably did a few jobs for the Doctor like the rest of her team.

Gold Morning[edit]

As part of Vegas Dark she helped with the infiltration of Cauldron after Doormaker was left incapacitated. She helped obscure the Portal to the Cauldron Compound. She was stopped by the strike team the Protectorate sent.<ref name="29.3 e2">Golem set about binding him to the cave floor with hands of stone.

I looked at Nix. “Her too.”

Golem reached into his costume, and hands of stone gripped Nix.

“To the ceiling,” I decided, at the last second.

“Sure,” Golem said. Hands of stone emerged, passing Nix up. She struggled a bit, but she was at an unsafe height by the time she realized what he was doing.

She was bound to the cave ceiling with armholds, leg holds and an arm set across her collarbone. - Excerpt from Venom 29.3</ref>

She was last mentioned being taken into Protectorate custody,<ref>The Protectorate is just on the other side of the portal, collecting Satyr’s teammates, Nix and Spur. - Excerpt from Interlude 29</ref> but given later events it is unknown if she remained in it or even survived.

Trivia[edit]

  • Nix, like the moon that shares her name, takes her alias from the Spanish translation of the Νύξ, the primordial Greek mythological entity.<ref>Blunck, Jürgen, Solar System Moons: Discovery and Mythology (2009), p. 129.</ref>
