Nicholas

Officer Nicholas is a character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. He is a police officer in Detroit, who used to work with Adam Jensen, whom he asks for help in the side quest Smash the State.

Background
Nicholas was a rookie during Adam Jensen's time as a SWAT officer and still appears to be not very experienced, making a nervous or even scared impression when encountering dangerous situations.

He got assigned to riot control in 2027, when the violent protests against Sarif Industries broke out in Detroit, but got word from an ex-criminal that Jacob White, a member of the Motor City Bangers who has recently gotten more and more violent, is planning to bomb the Detroit Police Station while most of the force is distracted by the riots. Officer Nicholas wants to stop him, but the police department is too focused on the protests, prompting him to ask Jensen to check the area surrounding the Police Station and find the criminal, as soon as he recognizes him leaving the Detroit Convention Center.
