*Nicole "Nicki" Burke is a main character in Mafia III.

Nicki Burke is the daughter of Thomas Burke and his second-in-command. She is responsible for managing their moonshine operation out of the Sweetwater Distillery.

Prior to the Butcher busting up her father's leg, Nicki rigged up the cars Danny drove when he brought moonshine up from the stills in the bayou. Since then, she's been working for her old man, helping him scratch together whatever he can.

As a child, Nicki adored her father, thinking "he'd hung the moon" and he meant everything to her. As if growing up the only daughter of Thomas Burke wasn't difficult enough, Nicki realized she was different at a young age. Being homosexual wasn't something people spoke about in those days, as society looked upon it as "deviant behavior". Then one day her father gave her this look, like he knew she was gay. This broke her heart; the first person in her life to crush her was her own father.

Nicki's mother died when she was a teenager, but she still had her brother Danny, and the two were close. He would stick up for her with their father, but after he died the relationship became strained. Her father's lost his edge lately, where he used to see a problems coming a mile away, he's lucky to know what day of the week it is anymore. Nicki does her best to keep things going smoothly, which isn't always easy. She blames her father for Danny's death, and more than anything she wants to leave New Bordeaux and put this life behind her. She's currently in a relationship with a woman named Darlene, whom she considers the best thing to ever happen in her life.*
