Nicos is an Aresian monk from the Temple of the Five Elements who has been petrified for the past 20 years.
He was Alke Sarris’ first love, though he was more cautious about their relationship than she. In an effort to secure his heart, Alke made a deal with a witch who promised her she would have his ‘unending love’: it was only when she became a medusa and turned him to stone that she realised what this truly meant.
It is currently unknown whether or not Nicos is still petrified - Alke has sent a cure given to her by Moxena to the temple in order to try and cure him, but has yet to hear back.
