A devil from a extra devil family, who served the Gremory Clan for years, he enrolled into [...] Academy as a first year student in order to become a high class devil and to help him for a future career in Rating Games. Despite scoring high on all the written exams, even in the exam involving battle strategy because of his incredibly low score on the combat exam despite being enrolled into the Academy, he is placed in classroom 1-H, also known as the Hell Classroom, the classroom for typically low scoring students who are viewed as the lowest of the lowest and are treated like scum by the higher-up classes.

Because he is the student with the highest grades in the class, he is elected Class representative, despite not wanting the position nor even having applied for such a position. The class and main heroine [...] then entrust him with the task of raising the class to 1-A, a task he views as impossible.

Being a student of [...] academy he is typically seen wearing the typical male uniform which consists of a white dress shirt with a black blazer with gold accents, a black tie, matching black pants, and black dress shoes.

Unlike other students who had battle suits created for them by the student design club, Nikolas foregoes this, opting to wear a standard black t-shirt with cargo pants during battle. When questioned by others, he states that the armor would only slow him down and make him an easy target.

Personality
Nikolas possesses a quick-witted and calm mind. Being rational and logical in any given situation he encounters and rarely thinking emotionally, this was shown when [...] was trying to antagonize him into a fight, knowing that he wasn't powerful enough to defeat him, Nikolas instead chose to ignore and just accept his insults. This causes others to view him as weak, choosing not to stand up for himself when insulted and rarely retaliating. His intelligence and unparalleled ability for thinking up strategies on the spot has led to him being compared to a young Sona Sitri, with this in mind Nikolas has even stated that he wants to become a high class devil like her, who was able to stand up and take out the Red Dragon Emperor, who possessed one of the 13 Longinus during a Rating Game. Nikolas has also stated that he sees Rias Gremory as a idiot, and doesn't understand why his childhood friend [...] Gremory wants to be like her.

Nikolas however suffers from a sort of inferiority complex, due to being weak physically compared to other devils and having very little demonic power of his own, his goal in enrolling in [...] Academy was to get stronger by surviving the school's rigorous course regimen. Due to his intelligence, he possesses decent leadership skills, able to make the class come together after arguments and even able to lead the class into battle against the other class. He works alongside [...], a young devil who is part werewolf with a temper and [...] Gremory during fights with the three being seen as the smartest students of the class.

He also has a bit of a trusting side, shown when he refused to believe that a fellow student of his class would attack students of other class without provocation and refusing to believe that there was a thief among his class. [...] describes his trust in others as not only naive but also shows he's capable of caring about others and being irrational. He is known to fall into fits of depression when things don't go his way, wanting to be alone and by himself and not eating anything.
