The Demyans were once a very powerful family. When the last war ended in favor of the Mitrans the family lost much of it's power. Nikos's grandfather correctly predicted that the Mitrans were going to be victorious and managed to salvage the tenuous situation by betraying House Barca. The family lost the title of lord in the ensuing regime but were allowed to keep their wealth and noble status.

Nikos is the eldest offspring of Achan Demyan. Achan, while grateful for continued financial prosperity, resented Nikos's grandfather's decision. A staunch worshiper of Asmodeus, Achan refused to stop worshiping. In secret he ran a church in his master's name and taught his children the ways of Asmodeus. A few years ago Achan was found murdered in an alley and the killer was never found.

Nikos loved his father dearly and mourned his passing. His fervent faith in Asmodeus matched, if not exceeded, that of Achan. However, Nikos was no longer content to hide in the shadows forever. He learned the sword and the ways of war. He joined the local guard and began slowly fomenting a rebellion. Nikos is not a stupid man and made sure to have a figure head in case things went south, but someone betrayed him and reported him to the Knights of the Alerion. He was arrested for sedition and was sent to Branderscar Prison, where he awaits beheading. He has vowed revenge on whoever betrayed him.

Nikos has two siblings, a brother and a sister.

The youngest, his sister Melaine, is a cleric of Asmodeus and has taken over her father's duties and kept the faith alive.

His brother, Mirrikh, despises the Mitran's as much as his family. Despite this fact, he recognizes the power and money to be had under their rule. He believes that the Mitrans' strict laws has created a unique opportunity to create a black market. He thinks his father is a fool and, unbeknownst to his siblings, is the one who murdered him. He is also the one that turned his brother in, making him the heir and gaining himself the public image of an upstanding citizen. Ironically, Mirrikh didn't even know about his brother's plans and was just trying to get rid of him, figuring that the Knights would find Asmodean paraphernalia during their investigation and arrest him.

Nikos is 6'2" has brown hair and striking hazel eyes. His skin has an olive tone and his demeanor is often quiet contemplation until action is required and then he becomes a boisterous leader shouting orders and willing his allies to victory. He has long waited for the day when he can strike at the heart of the Mitra corrupted Talingarde.
