Nico Hum makes a point of balancing success and failure. He once ate an apple in only two bites, including the core. Which was very impressive until he discovered the core's seeds are a well-known producer of every spy’s favorite poison—cyanide. Weathering his brush with death, Nico would go on to become a nationally recognized poetry slam champion. While the title seemed popular everywhere from coffee shops to universities across the country, it did very little when it came to wooing his future in-laws. Not one to be deterred, Nico turned to web design and copywriting in pursuit of a career worthy of suitorship. Winning his in-laws approval, Nico also managed to earn a respectable living and an anxiety disorder. He lives with his uncommonly patient wife and three children, two of which are covered in thick brown hair. They live in Columbus, Ohio where Nico received an autism diagnosis at the youthful age of 32.
