“	Heh. Sing like that again, and I might just let my comrade pluck out your tongue. Then again, my band of malevolent brothers is in dire need of amusement. So carry on. Scream your heart out. Top of your lungs now...	”	— Nichol, threatening a villager to pay a toll.

Nichol (Japanese: ナハト Nacht) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. A Nohrian leader of a band of thieves, he serves as the boss of Sophie's paralogue. Nichol can be captured, and thus recruited, in all three routes of Fates. Like all other captureable bosses, Nichol has no supports or Private Quarters interactions.

Trivia

• Nichol possesses a critical cut-in portrait, a trait shared with Candace, and lacked by bosses that could be considered much more significant, like Iago and Hans. Additionally, his name is located among the names of characters that can exclusively marry Corrin suggesting he had a more significant role before becoming a paralogue boss.
