If Kyrian hadn't been watching and stepped in to save him, Nick would have died. Nick revolted and saved the people, getting beat up and shot by his "friends" in the process. One night, his friends were mugging an innocent tourist couple. Nick started stealing and running with a bad gang when he was thirteen. Nick was raised by not just his mom but her friends as well, including the Egyptian goddess Menyara disguised as a human.

She was a single mother since Adarian was in and out of prison and eventually died in Angola during a prison riot. Cherise chose the latter and became an exotic dancer on Bourbon Street. Cherise's parents gave her an ultimatum: give up the baby, finish high school, and continue living with them or keep her baby and be kicked out without any recognition. Cherise was fourteen-fifteen years old and Adarian was posing as a career felon. Nick was born in New Orleans to Cherise Gautier and Adarian.
