Nile is an assassin working for the criminal organization [[SCORPIA]] and is exceptionally good at martial arts; he is also [[Julia Rothman]]'s personal henchman. He is a black man who has vitiligo, a disease which causes half of the pigment in his skin to disappear, thus leaving white blotches on his body. At first, he tries to kill [[Alex Rider]] for trespassing in the Widow's Palace in Venice by drowning him in a flooding room. However, when Alex joins SCORPIA, Nile teams up with him and helps him carry out certain assignments. Eventually though, during Operation Invisible Sword, Alex accidentally humiliates Nile in front of his boss, Julia Rothman. Nile tries again to kill Alex using samurai swords atop a hot air balloon, flying over London as part of the plan for Invisible Sword. Alex uses one of the swords to slice open the balloon's gas canister which ignites itself after touching the burner, and it spits fire at Nile. The assassin is set alight and falls off the balloon, then plummets to his death a long way below. |

Nile is a secondary antagonist in Scorpia.
About
Nile is an assassin working for the criminal organization SCORPIA and is exceptionally good at martial arts; he is also Julia Rothman's personal henchman. He is a black man who has vitiligo, a disease which causes half of the pigment in his skin to disappear, thus leaving white blotches on his body. At first, he tries to kill Alex Rider for trespassing in the Widow's Palace in Venice by drowning him in a flooding room. However, when Alex joins SCORPIA, Nile teams up with him and helps him carry out certain assignments. Eventually though, during Operation Invisible Sword, Alex accidentally humiliates Nile in front of his boss, Julia Rothman. Nile tries again to kill Alex using samurai swords atop a hot air balloon, flying over London as part of the plan for Invisible Sword. Alex uses one of the swords to slice open the balloon's gas canister which ignites itself after touching the burner, and it spits fire at Nile. The assassin is set alight and falls off the balloon, then plummets to his death a long way below.
Nile is an expert in almost every form of assault, but Julia Rothman claims that he could never be SCORPIA's top assassin because he has a particular weakness - a fear of heights. By exploiting this, Alex was able to defeat his foe.
