For most of his life, Nichols has done what he "should do," including following in the family business. When it came time, Nichols followed in his father's footsteps and went to law school. After becoming a defense attorney, he realized that the law left him unsatisfied. Simply applying for and being given a place on the island flies in the face of family tradition. Even though he has no survival skills, he arrives on the island hoping to break out and run away from his guarded, catered life in an attempt to uncover his true self.
