Seventh Temporal Tuesday

Nikoli Stile. Thief. Criminal Mastermind. Genius. Trickster. Hero. What can be said about him that he hasn't said himself?

Born Nicholas Stile to Irish immigrants, Henry and Elizabeth Stile in the spring of 1963. Henry was a lifetime beat cop and his wife, Elizabeth made money reading at the local library.

Even at when he very young, Nick showed that he was different from other kids his age. He retained everything he saw or heard, could learn a skill just by seeing some else do it, and solved most puzzles within minutes.

He first made world news, when at the age of 4, he left his parents at the New York Zoo and went home to catch his favorite cartoon. He had crossed town with money he found off the street, borrowed a neighbor's hair pin so he could pick the lock to his parents apartment, and called his father's precinct to let them when the show was over to tell them he was okay. Even after all that, he made the news the next year because he refused to go to an advanced school and would only attend public school with his friends.

He seemed to fade from the public mind, but sprung back when at the age of 15 he moved out of his parents home and had himself declared a legal adult. No one know where he got the money, but he apparently he owned a few pawnshops and loan offices as well as a bar. He again bopped up when he disappeared near the end of his junior year and didn't return until a year later having changed his name from Nicholas to Nikoli. To no one's surprise he graduated valedictorian.

He turned down offers to attend college and left on a ship with a few of his friends, not to be heard of until Superbowl Sunday the following year. Using assumed names, he had payed for two minutes of screen time and gave a speech on how the world was giving into apathy and he couldn't stand it any longer. He declared himself a nomad and said that criminals would be punished under his watchful eye. At the end of his speech 20 of the world's most wanted people were delivered, by mail, to the offices of Interpol, the FBI, and other similar branches throu out the globe.
