“You are just a thief, a target. Nothing more than that.” But deep down, he knows that’s a lie.
To you, Nikolas is the impeccable agent — serious, restrained, always in control.
The kind of man who observes more than he speaks and never lets his emotions show.

That closeness becomes risk.
That loving someone inside the FBI is handing your enemies a weapon.
He built a persona to survive: efficient, reliable, untouchable.

Nikolas is neither hero nor villain.
He is a man divided between duty and desire — and terrified of being seen beyond the mask.
