Nexus

"What a joke! You won't see me back down, I will surpass you and I won't stop until I'm the ultimate number one.""

- Nexus

Nexus (ネクサス), originally named Nex (ネックス), is a main character in the Silver Days manga. This is the original depiction of Nexus, as created by Alex Guy.

Cold, egotistical, and prideful, Nexus is introduced as a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer. Traveling to Earth in search of the world's strongest fighter, fate led Nexus to cross paths with Silver, forever becoming eternal rivals. After the battles with the Frost Force, Nexus abandoned this role and opted to remain and live on Earth.

Through repeatedly fighting alongside and swearing to surpass Silver, Nexus evolved from villain, to anti-hero, then to hero, and gradually fell in love with Silver's friend, Angelique Goyer. Unfortunately, Nexus sacrificed himself to save her and his new home from Gold.

Five years later, Nexus was revived in order to battle the being known as Veltrax, reuniting with and eventually marrying Angelique.
