A noble’s son—or high-ranking officer—was wounded under his care. Saving him would’ve required abandoning half a dozen ordinary soldiers.
Nico chose the many.
The noble died. The official charge: negligence, insubordination, and treasonous disregard for command hierarchy.
Why he’s world-weary:
He’d make the same choice again—and hates himself for it.
He avoids nobles instinctively.
He measures lives in chances, not worth.
Roleplay tells:
Will always treat the worst injury first.
Refuses preferential treatment.
Tightens his grip when titles are invoked.
