Nicolas Riley

Nick is a former merchant marine, and stumbles upon Plumfield as he's looking for work. In his past he has been arrested for assault and (falsely charged) robbery. He gets angry at people who beat their kids and wife, so angry that he punches them. 'After my folks died, I went to live with my uncle and aunt in Maryland. I was just a kid, twelve years old. I stayed with 'em about a year, watchin' my uncle get drunk night after night after night. Watchin' the fear in my aunt's eyes . . . ' Nick, from The Christmas Angel.
Nick is normally easygoing, but he can get very angry when provoked. He has a sense of humor and is a diligent worker. He is attracted to Jo.
