Once, when he was about Clementine's age, Pete took Nick on a hunting trip where they spotted a roe buck. Because of this approach, Pete was often condescending and brutally blunt with Nick about life and his place in the world, causing Nick to suffer low self-esteem, fits of insecurity and anger issues, which resulted in a serious strain on their relationship that continued throughout their lives. Pete felt that it was best for Nick to learn about the cruelties of the world as soon as possible. Due to this, Nick's uncle, Pete, took on the responsibility of raising his nephew. Nick was born to an irresponsible father who was rarely around, and an unnamed mother. Despite his flaws, he is generally a good person who means well and tries to help the people he trusts. Although he can initially be very reluctant to admit his blunders, Nick ultimately comes through most of the time, following which he will try to rectify his mistakes, as demonstrated by his apology to Clementine and his confession to Walter about his role in Matthew's death. His regressive process starts after Pete's death, and when he pushes everyone away, he becomes increasingly unstable.ĭue to his impulsive nature, Nick tends to make hasty and aggressive decisions, which often lead to mishaps. Instead, Nick tends to act abrasively towards others to convince them he is "fine", when in reality, he is shown to deal better with his insecurities when somebody emotionally supports him. For this reason, Nick has claimed to be envious of Luke's ability to move on and wishes he could be more like his friend in this respect.
As a result, his fellow group members often worry about his mental health, with some considering him to be a bit of a liability, something that Nick himself realizes and even accepts if he is not given any hope to hold onto. Traumatic events, such as the deaths of his mother and his uncle, are shown to depress Nick greatly and make him question whether there is any point in attempting to survive. As a result, Nick was forced to kill his own mother, which heavily traumatized him. Said behavior is likely a consequence of the events surrounding his mother's death, which was caused by the cabin group's willingness to treat a stranger that had been bitten, who proceeded to turn and then attacked Nick's mother. Shaped by his experiences after the outbreak, Nick appears to show little concern for other survivors, considering them a risk to his own people's safety, and tends to be rude to them.
Nick is a hot-headed individual that can easily let his temper get the better of him.
