Nikeopherous is an Elf of leisure, who has been forced into playing a season of Bloodbowl as a result of losing a gentlmanly wager over his ability to make a Tyrianoc chariot jump over a dragon princes sleeping mount, in a recreation the stunt made famous by Evyl Kinyeaval. The crash resulted in the dragon receiving minor damage to it's wings forcing the prince to resort to an ungainly horse, thus the harsh forfeit.

As Nikeopherous donsn't really want to play, as he might dirty his finely crafted uniform with it's oh so flattering cut that the damsel elves just adore, he has a tendancy to end up in the KO box for long lengths of time being tended to by the exquisite young apothocaries assistant Lauranna.

Unfortunately her medications seldom succeed in removing his headache before the end of the game, though he usually recovers for the after game banquet and ball where it's only right that he escorts the individual who nursed him back to health for his evenings entertainment.
