SPECIES
Namuh
His alien physiology, knowledge and way of thinking make Earth both fascinating and dangerously unfamiliar.
THE ALIEN GUIDE
“Nivek approached every disaster logically. Kevin rarely gave him enough time.”
Calm. Precise. Intelligent. Quietly compassionate. Usually the person calculating the danger while Kevin is already running towards it.
WHO IS NIVEK?
Nivek is calm, methodical and almost impossible to fluster. He approaches every problem through observation and logic, although Kevin has a habit of creating problems faster than Nivek can explain them.
Beneath Nivek's careful words is more feeling than he usually allows anyone to see. His compassion appears in what he does: protecting others, keeping his promises and refusing to abandon a life.
His friendship with Kevin changes them both. Nivek becomes a guide, ally and something close to family, while Kevin reminds him that logic is not the only reason to risk everything.
