His formidable detective skills were brought to the forefront when he helped to find a wife who was presumed dead Nick discovered that she had only run away with her lover. Nick gradually eased the citizens' fears by acting as Diamond City's handyman. When the mayor's daughter told Nick what had happened, he returned her to her father, who in turn gave him a house in Diamond City as compensation, despite the citizens' dismay and objections. Nick stumbled upon the kidnappers purely by accident when he was wandering the Commonwealth wasteland, having been almost exclusively itinerant since his "awakening." Finding himself held at gunpoint and likely the girl's only hope, Nick scared the abductors away by claiming that he had a bomb inside him and beeping (Nick claims that he literally just said the word "beep" repeatedly). The caravan trader and his companions were, unbeknownst to the girl, actually kidnappers who proceeded to take her hostage. Although Diamond City holds no small amount of hatred for the Institute and their synths, Nick gained their respect by saving the daughter of the city's former mayor, Henry Roberts, when she ran away with a caravan trader. Nick eventually found himself traveling to Diamond City. Nick eventually left that settlement upon visiting years later, he found that it had been pillaged by raiders. The community was the first time since his reawakening that anyone had treated Nick as a human being and not some mechanical monstrosity. During this time Nick befriended a child he knew only as Jim, the first human contact Nick ever had. He eventually forgot about his past relationship with DiMA due to the capacity limitations of his prototype brain.ĭue to unfamiliarity with the Institute and its technology, most wastelanders regarded Nick with equal parts fear and awe however, he was eventually accepted into a small local community where a mechanic offered to repair the damage he had sustained in his travels. After regaining consciousness in a pile of garbage an unknown amount of time later, Nick wandered the wasteland in a state of confusion for several weeks. The synth, now identifying himself as a pre-War police officer named Nick Valentine, in a state of confusion due to suddenly "waking up" 200 years in the future, attacked DiMA, who was left with no choice but to knock Nick out and leave him behind. This was until DiMA grew to resent the experiments being performed on him and his "brother." The two synths managed to escape, but not before the Institute uploaded a new personality and memories in DiMA's brother. Despite this, he and DiMA grew a family-like bond to one another, due to being the first and only synths of their kind. Nick would be implanted with artificial personalities based on memory recordings of pre-war humans while the other synth, named DiMA, was allowed to develop his own personality based upon experiences.įor years Nick was experimented on, having various personalities and memories from former humans loaded into him. He was one of two unique prototype Gen 2 synths used to test if and how synths could handle independent thinking and personalities. The synth that would become Nick Valentine was created by The Institute over a century before 2287. He is generally well respected throughout Diamond City despite his mysterious origins. Valentine believes himself to be a prototype between second-generation synths and the latest, which might explain why he exhibits sapient intelligence and is not innately hostile towards non-Institute humans. In addition to possessing the memories of a late pre-War detective, Nick has certain abilities that complement his investigative skills: he is very effective at hacking computers, and adept at both ranged and melee combat. 2 Interactions with the player characterĪn unusual robotic detective, Nick Valentine is the sole detective of a small agency he runs in Diamond City alongside his assistant Ellie Perkins.
