'''Nicolas Espinosa''' or The Espinosa Fedora Man as his nickname states, is the second oldest in the [[Espinosa family]]. Nicolas alongside of Sergio Vagancia are seen as [[Ricardo Espinosa|Ricardo Espinosa's]] right hand men. He is the [[Espinosa Gang|Espinosa Gang's]] captain and is in charge of everyone who is below him, as well as expected to fill in as the boss on missions when Ricardo and Sergio aren't available. Another responsibility Nicolas holds is to often check each drug casing to make sure it's the actual thing and the gang isn't being scammed or taken advantage of. Nicolas Espinosa's upbringing is similar to his oldest brother Ricardo's as they were close while growing up and could usually relate to a lot of the same things. Nicolas Espinosa had just finished school at 19 years old before finding out about his parents' murder. He was supposed to go to college and get a bachelor's degree in Logistics and Chain Management, but decided to take in his younger brothers and raise them until they were 18. It wasn't easy for Nicolas as he had to cope with the loss of his parents whilst working a full time job and taking care of his younger siblings, but Ricardo was there to help Nicolas whenever he could so that Nicolas wouldn't have to bare the weight of everything by himself. Eventually Ricardo launched the idea to go after both gangs that were responsible for the shootout which had led to their parents deaths which Nicolas and the rest of his brothers eagerly agreed with. Their first mission was to capture one of the members from either gang which didn't take too long as they spotted a man covered in tattoos walk past the same grocery store the shootout had taken place at least twice a day. What gave away that the man was apart of one of the gangs was the tattoo on the man's neck. The tattoo was of a dragon forming the letter J, the same initial that was on multiple of the gun shells left at the crime scene, one of the gun shells even being embedded into their father's skull. After waiting for the man to walk his usual path around the store and into a dark alley Miguel and Nicolas grabbed the man and injected him with Ketamine they had stole from a close-by hospital. After capturing the man and restraining him in the basement of an abandoned school the Espinosas continued to torture him for 3 days. On the fourth day the man begged them to let him go and gave them information on everything he knew about the gang he worked for. Finally with a useful lead they didn't need the man and Ricardo Espinosa himself disposed of him. On the planned night of the attack Nicolas was paired with [[Fabio Espinosa|Fabio]] to enter the 2nd entry of the gang's hideout and block it behind them so no one could get in and no one would get out. After blocking the entry both brothers looked at each other and gave a nod before heading separate ways to kill their parents' murders. Nicolas found two of the gang members in the kitchen packaging white powder into small zip lock bags. After waiting for one of them to leave and use the bathroom Nicolas quietly slipped into the kitchen then slit the throat of the member who was still sitting at the table. Nicolas was finally able to take out all the emotions he held in after finding out his parents died and ended up stabbing the gang member over 50 times. He then quietly went around the rest of the building trying to locate any other members before regrouping with his brothers and finding out they killed all of the gang members already. After confirming they were the only ones left alive in the building the Espinosas raided the place of it's hidden cash and drugs and moved onto their next targets, which was the second group responsible for the shootout. Eventually after taking down both gangs and disbanding them, the Espinosas were seen as brutal and merciless by many groups and ended up creating the Espinosa Gang.

== Personality ==

Much like his older brother Ricardo Espinosa, Nicolas Espinosa is seen as serious and focused on making sure everyone is doing their job instead of standing around. Although he shares similar personality traits with Ricardo, Nicolas is seen somewhat as a father figure to his younger siblings as he was the main person around at the time to take care of his younger brothers after their parents' passing. This also gives Nicolas the traits of being more worried and caring whenever his brothers are put into dangerous positions.

== Appearance ==

Nicolas Espinosa's appearance is described as him having black hair that is covered by a fedora he wears almost daily. Additionally, he hass no facial hair, is Caucasian, and has a similar build as to Ricardo's. He is known to have great reflexes and can sense almost exactly when someone is going to swing and where it's coming from before dodging it or countering it.

== Notes & Trivia ==

* Nicolas used to be the co-leader before Sergio Vagancia was created. After this, Sergio received the title of co-leader whilst Nicolas then received the title of captain.
