He earned the name "Nikto" for his uncanny ability to replicate other people and hide his true identity, making him a "nobody." He was assigned to infiltrate Zakhaev Arms, Viktor Zakhaev's arms dealing organization, but was found out in 2018 and tortured by Mr. Z himself to the brink of death. After recovery, Nikto was diagnosed with acute dissociative disorder, though was cleared for field service.

He is around 37 years old, and always wears a leather balaclava.
