Nickolas Johnson

Nickolas Johnson (or Nikolai Johonson) was the first vampire apart of Brandons sire line. Nickolas Johnson is one of the major recurring characters in the "Secrets lie within" series, and is one of the major antagonists in the first book.

Nick was born in Lithuania in the year 1010. He was turned by Brandon (who at the time was cloaked as Blake), making him the first member of Brandons sire line. This makes him one of the oldest vampires in the series, but also making him one of the younger vampires (this is means he is one of the younger first vampires from a sireline.)

Nick was the vampire who resurrected Brandon, by getting all the ingredients, vampires, and necessary witches. After this, he helped Brandon with creating the lunar vampire curse. In doing so, Brandon let him become a lunar vampire. (the transition is similar to a regular transition. you have to die for the curse to be enacted).

Nick is also a Doppelganger of Brandon. This is what originally drew Brandon into turning him. He eventually did, and Nickolas became the first vampire from Brandon's sire line.

Nick is 1009 years old, this makes him one of the oldest vampires in the series. This also makes him one of the strongest and fastest vampires. He is incredibly stronger than vampires like Rebekah, and Jackson. He was already one of the strongest vampires, but, when he became one of the first lunar vampires. Nick was known to support Brandons resurrection for all of his life. In the 11th century when Brandon Proposed to be resurrected, Nick was on board. However, after time The Dreadful soon supported this as well, meaning Brandons popularity grew. Making his plans well-known.

After Brandon was resurrected Nick fought alongside him, however, in the second book, Nick fought alongside Rebekah and her team. Betraying Brandon in the process. But, Brandon was dessicated in a tomb.
