Throughout the Series

 * -|Season Two =

In Inclement Weather, Nyko helps save Octavia Blake from the poison in her system. He reveals that he only did it because he was friends with Lincoln. When Nyko refuses to help Octavia save Lincoln, she knocks him unconscious and holds him captive. Octavia barters Nyko's life for Lincoln's.

When Indra does not appear with Lincoln, Nyko comments that Octavia will have to kill him now. However, Indra and Lincoln show up and the two prisoners are exchanged. When the Reapers appear, both Nyko and Lincoln are taken away.

In Reapercussions, Nyko is saved, along with a few others, from the Reapers by Octavia, Indra, and some other Grounders. Nyko tries to comfort Octavia, after she finds out that Lincoln didn't make it to safety, by saying that Lincoln was a good man. Nyko also reassures Octavia that she has proved herself, and therefore, won't be killed.

In Human Trials, Nyko is woken from his sleep after a fire occurs. The fire was made by Finn for a distraction. Finn and Murphy hold a Grounder at gunpoint, and demand to speak to the leader of his Clan. Nyko steps forward and tells them that their leader isn't there right now, and that they can deal with him. Finn and Murphy end up taking all the Grounders there hostage, including Nyko, and begin to search the camp for their friends. Nyko tries to explain that Finn's people aren't here but Finn finds some of the Delinquents' clothes at their camp. Nyko tries his best to keep everyone calm, and it works at first, but when Finn murders one of the Grounders for escaping all hell breaks loose. Finn guns down many of the Grounders as they try to escape or attack, however, Nyko manages to survive. He is saddened when he sees Artigas body lying lifeless on the ground.

In Long Into an Abyss, Nyko is seen grabbing Octavia as she exits the dropship. Octavia says Lincoln needs her help, and they enter the dropship, only for Nyko to find Lincoln turned into a reaper. When they restrain him, Nyko attempts to kill him with fake medicine to put him out of his misery, but it quickly stopped by Clarke who recognized his words from Anya. Just as they begin to question him, Finn enters, and Nyko bursts into rage at the sight of him, putting him against the wall. When Nyko does not let go, they use a stun stick to knock out Nyko. Later he is seen at the dropship when the other grounders arrive to check on Lincoln's condition.

In Remember Me, Nyko is present at the Grounder and Sky People alliance feast. He reacts with shock when Gustus is poisoned. He is then put in charge of healing Gustus, and later tells the others that he will be fine. Later, when Raven is being punished for being suspected having used the poison, he tells Lincoln that he should run now and that he will try to protect him.

In Resurrection, Nyko is seen aiding the wounded at Tondc. Nyko struggles with helping one of his fellow Grounders, that he has to leave one of them to die. When Indra is shot, Nyko is left to help her out, while Lincoln distracts the sniper shooting at the Grounders.
