Nikolai Tyr Mikaelson was named after the success and the norwegian god of war. While his much younger cousin, Hope Mikaelson, was given the the meaning of faith of a path of a greater good. Nikolai symbolized the ability to triumph while having enemies plotting his downfall, he meant the ability to succeed while everything burns down in flames. Even though alike in some features, the cousins in overall they both derived their attributes from both their deceased powerful parents. However while as Hope calmed the evil within her by doing good deeds to others, Hades demon walked alongside him all the time, day and night.
At only the age of seventeen, Nikolai was deprived from ever having a relationship with his father in the foreseeable future. He died alongside his uncle Henrik due to a werewolf accident, before the Mikaelson's siblings where turned into vampires due to the father's obsession with survival and power. Then a thousand years later he was brought back from the dead to be used as a pawn in his grandmother Esther's attempt to persuade his father to willingly turn himself into a human.
Nikolai was brought back in his seventeen year old natural form, a werewolf. Nikolai was the result of an arranged marriage between his father, Elijah Mikaelson, and his mother Noora Halverson a werewolf, it was theirs village last attempt to create peace. Sadly Noora died while giving birth to Nikolai, a death which was frankly not mourned by the Mikaelson family. However Nikolai's death was one that plagued the memories of the Mikaelsons, one which still held down his uncle Klaus with guilt and clouded his father's head with memories. Nikolai was his aunt Rebekah joy, she found comfort in helping Elijah after the toddlers mother died. And after Nikolai died, his memory still lingered in the heads of the Mikaelsons.
When brought back from the dead as a werewolf, Nikolai had to be shortly afterwards be turned into hybrid, after an attempt against his life was made by the Strix.
Then yet again, not long after being turned he was deprived and taken away from someone that could teach him how to grow and be a Mikaelson. Why he had a stronger blood lust than his cousin, or why whenever looked at his aunt Hayley or cousin Hope wrong his hands itched to make them suffer and die.
Nikolai still had memories when he was human. How while the kids in the village played in the meadow outside their small house, he sat deep within the dark forest reading poetry from his fathers collection. Or how about how exited he was to hold a sword and be allowed to go out to the occasional battle that happened with another clan.
However after the majority of his family was put into a deep sleep, all Nikolai wanted was someone to teach him to control the rage he had within himself that grew every time he inhaled and calmed every time he relaxed. Or explain why he heard voices that whispered to him at midnight while the house was silent, the murmurs of violence that had led him to carve finger nail marks on his palm creating a crescent moon on both his hands. Nikolai had gotten almost all of his characteristics from the males of the Mikaelson family; the violence, anger, and power.
