History:
Nikola was born in Czechloslovakia to two pureblood wizards, with a long line of noble wizards in his family. His mother died while giving birth to him, and his less than caring father couldn't be bothered with a child he would have to raise without a wife. Nikola's father was approached by Voldemort's early supporters, those involved in a top secret project training children to be an army for the rising dark lord. Seeing the situation as a win win, Nikola was handed over to total strangers.

The idea was that the children would be trained in fighting, dark magic, and murder, then the memories would be shut down and triggered at a later time, making them "sleeper" agents. This way they could go about their lives as seemingly normal children once they began school, and they would be able to position themselves in normal jobs until it was time to "awaken" them.

Nikola was barely old enough to speak when he began learning combat techniques. The dark magic came a little later. He and other children like him were trained in a secret, Unplottable facility. It was at that facility that Nikola met Siobhan. Though the children were not supposed to be friends with each other, Siobhan and Nikola found themselves drawn to each other in ways no one could have expected. Both smart children, and Nikola as strong willed as he was (the word 'no' was never taken very seriously) they began to question what they were doing. It didn't feel right to them. Through their friendship, the humanity that the trainers were trying to take from them began to build and spread, and they started to rebel, first in small ways, and then in larger ones. When the trainers figured out what was happening, they attempted to separate the two children, but they always found ways to communicate with each other. And the harder they tried to keep them separate, the more they rebelled, until finally, they staged an outright insurrection, having managed to recruit half of the other children.

They were disciplined terribly, and Nikola still bears the scars from this. Finally it was decided that the project was a failure. Most of the children were turned out on the streets, wiped of their memories.

Most of the children. Nikola was one of the few who was not. There was some fear that he and Siobhan would reconnect, and it would be dangerous is they did, dangerous if they sparked memories in each other. So a handful of children were kept at the facility until they were older. Nikola was turned out onto the streets at age 15, a darker training having been beat into him, and the repressed. What resulted was a deadly child with no knowledge of the power he held.

He "finished" his schooling at Durmstrang, then got a job in London at a muggle firm.

It was just a couple months ago when they decided to test the handful of children (there were no more than ten of them) who'd been kept behind. Four of them were caught and imprisioned, two were killed, three escaped... and Nikola simply just disappeared.

He woke up three days ago in St Mungo's with no memory of anything.

Anything else?
Nah. It's been a while. Sorry if part of the history looks familiar
