Mr. Owens
Nick and his best friend, Mo, are bullies at the school that Bod briefly attends. While Mo is the brains of their operation, Nick is the brawn. He’s a hefty blond kid and doesn’t think much. He especially loves stealing things and hitting people, but Mo tells him specifically what to steal and who to hit. Things begin to go downhill for Nick when Bod catches on to Nick and Mo’s bullying tactics: they blackmail younger students by forcing them to steal something, but then Nick and Mo film the theft and threaten to take the video to the police if the kids don’t hand over their weekly allowances. Bod encourages Nick to change his ways by infiltrating one of Nick’s dreams (Bod has this capability because of the Freedom of the Graveyard). After this, Nick refuses to speak to Mo and seems to turn himself around.
