Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a nuclear scientist whom you might find peacefully studying earth worms. Yet Niko somehow gets tracked down by the U.S. military when an enormous creature leaves its footprint in the earth. The military hopes that Niko can help identify, and potentially subdue, whatever creature made such an enormous mark. (Small spoiler alert: it’s Godzilla!)
Personality… geeky and timid, but not cowardly. Niko shows exceptional bravery, especially for a man of his nerdiness, when he agrees to aid in the battle against a creature who was large and violent enough to upend a sizable Japanese fishing vessel. Niko’s expertise gives the human race the best hope of containing this giant beast.
