Physical Description:
While Nick has tried to maintain an athletic build with regular workouts and runs, he has started to gain a gut that he just can't seem to loose. Not classically handsome in the way of models and movie stars, he is attractive with high cheekbones, aquiline nose, deep set eyes, and dimples .Under The Hood
Personality: A lifetime of seeing the thread of tragedy in life, Alex has developed a rather macabre sense of humor. Its not that he laughs in the face of death, but laughs at the absurdity of choices that led to a fateful encounter. While on the job, he is no non-sense and by the book. Generally, he is easy to get along with, but he has a sharp edge when needed. About the only people he doesn't get along with are the artsy, creative crowd, though he seems to always be in their company.
He keeps his personal life...personal.
Talents
Mundane Skills:
Nick is an amazing investigator, and regularly passes all of the tests required by the NYPD. None would accuse him of being the best shot or an expert in hand to hand. As an investigator, he has an uncanny knack of piecing together the story of a crime and is good at reading people. Academically he is a jack of all trades, and master of none, having taken classes in classic history and literature, languages, religion, art history, drama, folklore, anthropology, archeology, psychology, and criminal justice. He is amazing at languages, and is fluent in Greek, Hebrew, Spanish, and Russian. He is a capable translator of Ancient Greek, Latin, and Etruscian.
