History
Origin
Nick is a solemn widower living in Delaware, he was married to a young woman named Sarah and together they had a child. One night a criminal crept into their house and butchered Sarah and the baby. Even after the home invasion Nick still resides in the house, and maintains some memorable objects that were connected to Sarah and the baby. Nick is later used as a Plan B Vessel for Lucifer, however because he isn't the "true" vessel over time Nick’s body slowly peels away and becomes more and more degraded. The longer he continues to be occupied by Lucifer the more his body suffers, due to the inability of Nick's body to handle Lucifer's essence. Castiel tells Sam that Nick would be drinking gallons of demon blood in order to be able to host Lucifer.[1] Nick was dispossessed in 5.22 Swan Song, his body dropped to the ground directly after the dispossession. His current condition is unknown.
Appearances
5.01 Sympathy For The Devil
Nick's wife and child have been murdered during a home invasion. As he grieves, he starts hallucinating. Lucifer appears as his wife Sarah and tells him that he is a Vessel, and that Lucifer wants his consent to possess him. Lucifer says he is misunderstood, that he was punished for "loving God too much". He says that, to let Nick's family be murdered, God must either be he will help him get justice for his family. Nick assents to possession.
Plan B Vessel of Lucifer
Nick consents to be possessed by Lucifer at his house in Delaware, and serves as his vessel for the remainder of the season but is later dispossessed in 5.22 Swan Song. Although unseen, in 5.02 Good God Y'All, Lucifer after claiming Nick's body, creates high-altitude winds, rendering chaos. Very soon after assenting to possession, Nick's body is already seen decomposing in 5.03 Free To Be You And Me. Further stress in seen in 5.10 Abandon All Hope and 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods, as he is falling apart under the effort to contain Lucifer. Castiel tells Sam and Bobby that Lucifer would be drinking gallons of Demon Blood in order to maintain the integrity of the Vessel.[1]
5.22 Swan Song
Dean and Sam meet up with Lucifer at an abandoned apartment. Nick's body looks even more run-down and degraded than it did in 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods. Sam agrees to be Lucifer's vessel. They both agree that the one who resists the other gets their way: If Sam wins then he jumps into Lucifer's Cage, If Lucifer wins, well, then he wins. Nick's body was seen motionless on the ground after the dispossession, presumably dead.
