Nikli is the youngest of the Dysian Aimians currently on Roshar. It was the twenty fourth swarm to Separate, only doing so after the [[scouring of Aimia|scouring]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
After the discovery of the [[First Dreams]], Nikli was sent by the Sleepless who guarded [[Akinah]] to be [[Rysn]]'s personal servant so it could ensure that [[Chiri-Chiri|the Ancient Guardian]] was being cared for. Additionally, since they suspected that she might soon travel to [[Aimia]], Nikli was instructed to attempt to stop her from reaching the island.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} Initially, Nikli would overzealously try to assist Rysn in everything she did,{{book ref|sa3.5|1}} but it soon realized that she preferred being independant and doing things herself.{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}
When Rysn arrived at [[Urithiru]] Nikli told the master-servant who greeted them that she preferred using her own chair but Rysn corrected it, saying that the porters knew the city better than she did, and had Nikli bring the chair in case she needed it later.{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}
At some point between their trip to Urithiru and departing on the journey to Aimia Nikli hired an assistant, [[Plamry]],{{book ref|sa3.5|10}} to help it perform its duties. Nikli and Plamry carried Rysn and her baggage aboard the [[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]] and carried her around the ship as she required it. Sometime before they departed, Nikli poisoned [[Screech]], the Wandersail's [[skyeel]] mascot, in an attempt to frighten the crew so they would abort their mission.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} After Nikli put Rysn in her new chair on the quarterdeck, it told her that it thought that the captain and the crew did not trust her. Nikli tried to suggest that they delay the trip so they could find a more suitable crew, but Rysn brushed its concerns aside, saying that they were good men chosen by [[Vstim]] and they had been training with the ship since it was built. When Rysn found out that Screech had died she told the crew that anyone who wanted could stay behind without penalty, placating the crew and foiling Nikli's plot. After Rysn found out why [[Drlwan]] resented her so much she had a philosophical discussion with Nikli about how sometimes you had to accept an imperfect solution for an imperfect world. [[Kstled]] returned to them and reported that although the ship's cook, [[Nlan]], was among the sailors who accepted her offer, [[Cord]] would be able to take her place.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} This put another kink into Nikli's plans,{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} and they set sail.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}}
