'''Nicky Yatela''' (birth name '''Nicola Yatela''') is the fourth of the Yatela siblings, as well as the boss in charge of [[Lenox Corner]].

Originally, Nicky was born as '''Nicola Yatela''' , as the only daughter of Don Arsenio. Growing up as one of the younger siblings in a mafia environment, she Nicky idolized her brothers their older siblings and her fatherstheir father, wishing nothing more than to be one of them. However, the criminal world is stereotypically unkind to women, and this fact was not lost on herthem; she wished not to be merely any old enforcer's woman - she wished to ''be'' an enforcer, and to one day take an active role in the family business, just like her siblings. After puberty hit, she began imitating her brothers' mannerisms and dress codes, abandoning traditionally feminine clothing in favor of tuxedos and pants; she also wished to be referred to as "Nicky" rather than "Nicola", thinking the nickname to be more like a proper gangster's name.

In 684, upon turning 18, Nicky made the formal request to become a ''made man'' to her father, Don Arsenio. To the surprise of her the other siblings, he accepted; but proposed a seemingly impossible task: to travel all the way to [[Lenox Corner]] in the Western Zone, find a particular person with gambling debts (he owed over [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''200 000''' and went into hiding), and do whatever it takes to shake him down of his money and bring it back to the family. Whatever happened to the debtor was up to herNicky. Don Arsenio was not expecting her to succeedsuccess, intending for it to be a lesson on how "Syndicate life is not for women". Nicky departed [[Greening]] the next day. After not giving signs of life for a little over a month, Nicky traveled back to Greening and delivered two things onto , with a special delivery for the old Don's desk: four suitcases, each containing [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''50 000''' in gold coins, as well as a bag containing the severed head of the debtor. Official details on what exactly transpired in Lenox Corner that year are very scarce, but it appears that Nicky had gained the nickname of "Headhunter".

Having proven her their worth to the family, the Don had no choice but to accept Nicky's request of becoming an enforcer for the family. However, for Nicky, the term ''made man'' was it seemed that a month of disappearance had lead to more discovery than just an expression, it symbolized transitionfinding the person they were sent out for, and requested from that point on to be referred to as a manmale, complete with proper pronouns. Afterward, Nicky promptly returned to work in Greening, working various jobs for a new capo, Manfredo "Fat Freddy" Fattore. Fat Freddy's crew specialized in casino security, debt collection, and protection racketsthe Syndicate.

Following his younger brother Lenny's 18th birthday in 688, after which he also became an enforcer for the Syndicate, Michael requested to his father that all five siblings be part of the same crew. Under Consigliere Veleno's influence, the request was denied and each sibling was instead forced to work in a different town. Mentioning Nicky's past experience work in the city, he was sent even further away than Soren: back to [[Lenox Corner]], this time tasked with overseeing and managing security at the local casino, the ''Blue Diamond'', under another local capoand a new crew; Manfredo "Fat Freddy" Fattore. Fat Freddy's crew specialized in casino security, debt collection, and protection rackets. Although it only lasted for about two years, Nicky often has stories to tell about his stint as casino security, recalling many instances of booting drunk people out, beating up indebted customers whenever they refused to pay, using his reputation as the "Headhunter" to make it clear what would happen if they didn't pay up.

In 690, when Don Arsenio died, Nicky was vocal in his disapproval for Ciro Veleno's "temporary" takeover, demanding that he begin the succession proceedings immediately and let Michael become the next Don. In retaliation, Ciro sent men to Lenox Corner to make sure that Nicky never leaves the town, for any reason whatsoever, and to use force if necessary. Realizing what Veleno was doing, Nicky orchestrated his own disappearance, faking a situation with his capo at the ''Blue Diamond'' casino. The official story was that Nicky had failed to pay tribute and was skimming off the top; therefore, Fat Freddy had to give punishment behind the doors. With the complicity of the local hospital, the "wounded" Nicky was carted off to the hospital for the treatment of "wounds". In reality, he was transported to the back of a prepared hospital bedroom, where he hid for several hours. In this bedroom were stashed a set of clothing and makeup: namely, a flamboyant sundress, high heels, lipstick, and blonde hair dye. There also was a suitcase full of money; Fat Freddy told Nicky to "use these funds to take the snake down", referring to Veleno. The plan was to walk out of Lenox Corner in ''extremely'' feminine clothing, in order to fool Veleno's guards into believing that Nicky was either still in the hospital, possibly even or dead. The plan worked, and Nicky went into hiding in [[Viris Area]], living with his younger brother Lenny. Although he had ditched the clothes, Nicky reportedly continued dying his hair blonde, out of fear that he could be recognized by Veleno's men.

Very headstrong and pragmatic, if Nicky wants something, there are few forces in the Mazes that will stop him from getting it. Having fought to reshape and redefine himself and not conform to as a "chick" stereotype or worseleading, that a "gangster's woman"decision-making figure, he is particularly proud and quite protective of his identity and his status.

Nicky is highly respected by his siblingsand his crews in Lenox Corner; Michael in particularthe words of his old capo, who describes himself as Fat Freddy, his reputation in the town "having unending pridepractically speaks for itself" for what Nicky accomplished. However, other members of the Syndicate have not always accepted Nicky's choices or identity. Unfortunately for Nicky's detractors, disrespect is not something he tolerates, especially if the disrespect is aimed at his gender. Disrespecting Nicky is, to To him, it is even worse than trying to skip on paying debts owed to him, and is ; those who try are often punished by brutal torture, if not death. This inflexible attitude has further fueled his reputation as Lenox's Headhunter, with some saying that he owns a basement full of the preserved, severed heads of debtors and detractors. Nicky has Perhaps intentionally, the existence of this basement was never confirmed nor denied whether this alleged "basement of heads" truly existed, presumably to keep further disrespect in check.
