Personality
He is short sighted as his abilities allow him to receive anything he wants with minimal effort.<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref> He 'oozed' confidence and sexuality.<ref name="21.3"/>

Abilities and Powers
Nikos has the ability to control and manipulate the emotions of people. He used this ability to form a harem of beautiful women that serve him zealously, committing crimes for him and and dying for him.
Both of his runaway children have greater range with their powers then he does.<ref name="12.3">Plague 12.3</ref> Which may be limited to line of sight.
Regent suspected that his power gave him immunity from Nikos' power as it did his sister.<ref name="I11g">Interlude 11g (Anniversary Bonus)</ref> This likely stems from Nikos using his power to cause his children to Trigger.<ref name="7.1" /><ref name="I10" />
