Nick Graves (Anime)

"And now...this is where the fun starts!"

- Nick Graves

Nick Graves (ニック・グレイブス) is one of the two main antagonists of the third season of the Silver Days anime.

Nick is an assassin tasked by Ava Node to eliminate Silver, becoming subject of the Era Corporation's "Project Ultra," greatly heightening his abilities and strength to take on Silver and his group. Nick is also known as the Super Assassin.

Appearance
Nick Graves is a 28-year-old tall man with a muscular build, towering over the likes of Silver and Xander. He also seems visibly younger than his age, appearing like a man around Silver's age.

He initially wears a long black hoodie, roughly mid-calf-length, with a bullet proof vest underneath and black combat boots and gloves. He sports black, spiky hair with a slight dark blue tint; red-eyed, his sclera are completely black. After Ava Node is subdued, Nick reappears with a black business suit and his trademark boots and gloves.

Personality
Nick is a serious and quiet individual, befitting his nature as an assassin. Initially, he was methodical in his assassination method, making decisive actions and calmly analyzing Silver and Xander's moves before acting. Behind his cold and calm approach to things, Nick's true colors are shown during his fight with Xander and final battle with Silver.

He is shown to be extremely sadistic and evil in his actions, prepared as he is to kill Silver in inventively violent ways such as by throwing knives, using matches to burn him alive, or attempting to crush his throat. He also takes a lot of joy in killing people and not viewing his missions as just "jobs" but as a means to enjoy himself, shown during his brief skirmish with Alice.
