Gray Boy

Worm Wiki:Character Template (Slaughterhouse Nine) Nicholas, better known as Gray Boy, is a member of the Slaughterhouse Nine.

Background

Gray Boy was coerced by King to use his power as a threat more terrifying than death to the enemies of the Slaughterhouse Nine. He was eventually killed by Glaistig Uaine.

Personality

Gray Boy seems to be dangerously unstable, even for one of the Nine. Bonesaw speculated that it would be very much like him to kill someone just because he could, and that Jack had only asked for one clone of him because he could only keep one under control.

Appearance

Nicolas is prepubescent in appearance, older than ten but younger than fourteen, with neatly parted hair and a private school uniform, complete with glossy black shoes. He also has a monochrome effect surrounding him, occasionally flickering with his body looking in a different direction.

Abilities and Powers

Nicholas is able to trap people within time loops. During these loops, the only changes to the victim are from what he inflicts on them (such as a cut or burn) and in the progression of their thoughts. Pain inflicted on the victims is repeated over and over again.

Nicholas can also use his power to loop a section of air to create a massive wall that cannot be bypassed. In addition, his power automatically revives him even if he suffers a lethal wound. Foil's power, however, seems to be able to bypass the effect.

History

Gray Boy was cloned by Bonesaw. He stepped out of the cyrostasis chamber clothed and dry before he greeted Jack Slash. He approached Bonesaw who kissed him on the cheeks and called him her little brother before he told her that he thought they would be inseparable. He then squeezed her hand and, when Bonesaw looked at him, he winked at her. <ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Interlude 25</ref>
