Nikau is a researcher and doctor of section 9, the third friend of Kurt and Claire. A mix of native Māori and British New Zealand settler, or "kiwi", as he likes to point out, he wears a piupiu, the traditional Māori skirt, as his [zeichen]. Affable and generous, he loves gossip and recreational drugs, and gave up citizenship so as not to have his vocation measured in hours.
In Descent (2258)
Aboard the ship
Nikau keeps up with everything on the researchers' agenda, and it is through him that Kurt hears how the department sees its new leader, Aditi. When the drug they share leads him to grasp Kurt's interest in her just as Claire walks in, he is the one who apologises.
After the crash
After the crash Nikau works to exhaustion with the injured; he is at Kurt's side when he wakes from his coma and tells him what has happened. He becomes the link between the researchers' medical supplies and Claire's Hunters, who welcome him, and now wears kutsanp leather and athale fibre, with a satchel of vaghadata skin. Through him Kurt learns how the camp now works, each group rewarding the others with what it produces.
The expedition and the split
Nikau helps Claire organise the rebellion, informing the hunters of the convoys' structure. He is beaten when the guardians discover it, and it is he who tells Kurt that Claire has been taken. On the march east he tends her and the other wounded, with medicines that Raina supplies.
