Nikliasorm, also known as Nikli, is a Dysian Aimian living on Roshar.[1] It is at least 400 years old, though it is young for its species.[2]
Appearance and Personality
While in its human form, Nikli takes on the appearance of a Makabaki man with white tattoos on its face and arms to cover the spaces between its hordelings.[3]
Attributes and Abilities
Nikli is known among all the Sleepless swarms as being the most skilled at impersonating humans. It is one of the few Sleepless that has eye hordelings that are actually functional. This allows it to more realistically imitate humans than other Sleepless, who use prop eyes, since its sight lines actually line up with its eyes.[1]
History
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.[1]
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 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.[4]
Relationships
The Sleepless
Nikli is regarded by the Sleepless, particularly Yelamaiszin, as a valuable perspective, despite its youth, because of its greater understanding of humans.[1]
