Nikolas not Nikolaos[edit source]

From the trailer, I really think that the name Myrinne calls him by is Nikolas not Nikolaos. Both are valid Greek forms of Nicholas. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 00:19, June 14, 2018 (UTC)

You can clearly hear her calling him Nikolaos. The o is pretty audible. -pipewr3nch (talk) 14:06, June 17, 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, according to the subtitled UK trailer, it's Nikolaos. — Darth Dracarys (talk) 14:07, June 17, 2018 (UTC)
The subtitled NA trailer says Nicholas though this is clearly the Anglicized form not necessarily reflective of what is spoken. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 20:07, June 17, 2018 (UTC)
I still cannot hear any clearly audible 'o' at all no matter how much I replay it. If it is present, it is slurred with the 'a' into becoming an /au/ sound. Her accent makes it hard to distinguish from just an /a/, but there is no two-syllable /a.os/ sound. If the UK trailer does write Nikolaos then that is probably our best bet however.

I found the Hong Kong/Taiwan trailer :D. The subtitle does say Nikolaos and even 尼可拉歐斯 (Níkělā'ōusī). I think because she slurs the phonemes together, the subtitles give change how we interpret what we're hearing. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 20:35, June 17, 2018 (UTC)

Stepfather to both?[edit source]

Are both children not his biologically or only the player character? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 09:10, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Most likely both. Boofhead185 (talk) 09:22, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Why do you think both. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 13:42, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Alexios' page says who his biological father is, and Nikolaos told Kassandra he wasn't her real father. So Nikolaos is then definitely stepfather to both. Boofhead185 (talk) 13:49, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

I’m not certain that Alexios's Page is right as that part is unsourced but I haven’t played the game far enough to confirm that. It just seems weird due to the age disparity between the siblings. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 14:23, October 3, 2018 (UTC)
