Brief History:
Nicolas Herbert Stocker was part of the baby boom that occurred after the end of the first demon war.  His parents, Annette James and Philip Stocker were left to fend for themselves on the
Thalland City streets after the demons destroyed their homes.  They encountered each other, and decided to stay together, believing that they stood a better chance of survival the two of them.  Over the course of the war, they discovered their love for each other, and when the war ended, they decided to get married.

They worked hard in the coming years to rebuild their lives.  After three long years of working, they finally found some time for each other.  They were both happy when Annette discovered that she was pregnant.  Things couldn’t be more perfect, their lives in a good balance and a new baby.

However, their debts overrode their income, and a child didn’t make things easier on them.  After a few years of bad business, Philip had to file bankruptcy.  They were left penniless.  They moved to the slums of
Thalland City, the only place where they could afford a home.  Philip sunk into a deep depression, not leaving their apartment.  He disregarded his appearance and became a recluse.

One day, when he was twelve years old, Nicolas came home from school one day to find his father’s body lying on his and his wife’s bed, having slit his wrists with a sharp knife.  The sight was mind-shattering to Nick and ran to his own room, screaming and crying.  His mother came home and heard her son’s wailing and rushed to his room.  She asked what’s wrong and he pointed to her room.  Upon seeing her husband lying dead, she too cried for him.  It was now only the two of them versus a very cold world.

Things got worse from there.  Annette began binge drinking to drown the sorrow and dull the pain.  Nicolas began to fall into the bad crowd in the slums.  At the age of sixteen, he joined a gang, the only way he knew how to get money.  He worked out hard, hoping to become a valuable muscle in the gang.   For the most part, the gang stuck to armed robbery and extortion.  However, the gang had new leader following the “suicide” of the previous leader.  The new leader felt bolder and decided to kidnap the daughter of a rich movie star, trying to get a lot of money quite fast.  The kidnapping went rather flawlessly and she was in their custody for weeks before the gang leader finally sent the ransom note.  Over those weeks, it was Nick’s job to look over their hostage.  Oftentimes, the gang leader wished to be left alone with the hostage.  Nick was disgusted by what he would do to her and helped to heal and clean her up after the leader’s violations.  When her father wouldn’t pay the ransom, the gang leader ordered Nick to kill her.  Nick couldn’t bring himself to do it; he could not harm her in any way.  The leader was angered and ordered the rest of the gang to slay Nick.  After a vicious skirmish, Nick had single-handedly killed the entire gang, his great strength and weapon savvy ensuring his victory.  He released the hostage, who had already Stockholmed.  Upon seeing the dead gang leader, she cursed Nick and attempted to kill him, rushing at him with a knife.  Another skirmish ensued and Nick managed to disarm her rather easily.  She grabbed a nearby gun, but instead of shooting Nick, turned the gun on herself.  All Nick could do was sigh to himself and leave the scene as quickly as possible.

Now unemployed, Nick went to a well-known strip club called The SPot.  There, he met Lady Erica.  After purchasing a night with her, she offered Nick a job as the bouncer and barkeep.  There was a catch, and that catch was that Nick had to become Erica’s willing sex slave, doing whatever she commanded of him.  Nick accepted, seeing nothing else for him but poverty.  Upon finding out what it meant to be Erica’s sex slave, Nick began to like it.  Erica liked her slave as well and Nick began to reap the rewards.  He was well paid by Erica, serving her as bouncer, barkeep and stripping on occasions when there are many ladies in The SPot.  In addition, he gladly works as a gigolo when asked by his mistress.  He could now support both himself and his mother.

The return of the demons brings mixed feelings for Nick.  He knows little about the demons, but knows that they anger Erica and that makes him angry as well.  He continues to be well paid by his mistress and enjoys his work.  But he gets the feeling that she will need him for more than his large phallus, perhaps taking action against her foes…
