Biography
Nicolis was a powerful sorcerer whom the Baldean forces met several times after arriving in that cursed land.

Previously, Nicolis had been a magical teacher in Dalsis. In search of ancient power and knowledge of the Elthlead Wars, he traveled to Velzeria. Upon arriving in the dark country, he awakens Böser and becomes his subordinate.

Ledin first encounters Nicolis when they first reach Velzeria's border. Here, the Baldean forces were greeted by Böser, who asked that his subordinates Nagya and Nicolis "entertain" the Baldean army. Nicolis and Nagya readily agree, and Nicolis shows his powers. Offering an incantation to Chaos, he gives one of the Baldean female generals a curse of visions causing them to attack the others. Upon Jessica's advice, Ledin strikes Nicolis to break the spell. Upon giving the sorcerer a grievous wound, he can accomplish just that, after which Nicolis retreats.

Afterwards, Nicolis brings Nagya back from his near-fatal wounds to defend the outer perimeter of the Velzeria Castle's ruins while he retreated to the underground Sanctuary of the castle. The Baldean forces entered the sanctuary only to be surrounded by Nicolis' forces. He gloats that Ledin and company have fallen for his trap. Undeterred, Taylor quips that he'll soon share Nagya's fate. Nicolis comments that Nagya was just a stupid fool who is easily replaced.

Here, Nicolis also reveals that he was ultimately behind Digos's attack on Baldea and the theft of Langrisser.

"My magic works best when the person already has exceptional power. That’s why... that Dalsis Emperor, Digos, served me so well. Why, he even managed to obtain Langrisser for me. Or weren’t you aware of his involvement, yet?"

With that, the battle in the Underground Sanctuary commences. Despite his bravado, Nicolis falls just as Nagya before. However, Nicolis says that he has merely given Böser the time to begin the revival of Velzeria's ancient god.
