Personality: Niko was born in Israel, and is a strong believers of the Jewish Faith, believing int he God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he follows many of the customs, and is very devout, and does not want to live of a life of sin. Even hearing the name Jesus is a curse word to him, and one that will offend and provoke his rage. He often pardons his acts of violence saying that he is doing them in the name of the Lord, and has a love of all people from all races, and cultures. He wants to connect with others, and get them to understand the nature of his God, and come to serve him. Ironically enough e despises extremists, and hates Those who classify people. He hates any form of oppression, and believes he's chosen by God to be a hero, and often commits acts of heroism, attributing his heroic nature to the Lord. He despises sinful people, and refuses to live a life of sin.

After traveling America, and ending up in the Shadow Escorts he realized he did not want mutants to suffer, and believed God gave mutants there abilities. With that belief he has aided in the battle against the persecution of mutants, or persecution of any kind. He is a selfless leader devoted to his team-mates, and has a strong bond with all of them, and wants to work with others rather then be hot headed, and hopes to aid the new generation of mutants.

Skills: Niko believing himself to be a Soldier of God, has trained extensively in the art of Self Defense, wanting to be capable of defending himself, and being a dangerous combatant. He's trained himself for many years, and has traveled training with some of the most skilled masters, and has learned how to wield bladed weaponry such as swords, and knives very proficiently. He's highly educated, and has memorized most of the Hebrew Bible.

Weapons: He carries a dagger with him, that he has named Elyon, one of the names of his God.

Powers:
Niko has the ability to absorb ambient solar energies which his body metabolizes and converts into powerful optic blasts. Unchecked, his optic blasts can easily level buildings or more. These red concussive blasts are not lasers, and do not create any heat. Rather than cutting or burning, his blasts are pure kinetic energy. They can push or smash objects with pure force. However, there is no action/reaction involved with this force; Niko' head is not pushed back when he uses his power. It has been theorized that this is because the particles are extra dimensional in nature.

Niko lost the ability to control his mutant power as a child. This was originally thought to be due to damage to his brain, but it is actually due to a mental block. Along with being unable to turn his power off, Niko never uses his power to their full extent because deep down he is afraid of what could happen if he truly loses control. There is no known limit to how much damage the optic beams can cause, although they can be draining depending on how long he uses them, and overuse of his abilities can have horrible physical, and mental strain on his body. Another thing that can affect the level of his optic blasts is his stress level.

Bio: Nikolai Busama was born in Israel, to a middle age family of Devout Believers, his older brother being shaky in his faith, but still semi-devout, Niko was instantly sucked into his family's religion, and desired to spread the word of God, and go against those who went against his God.
