Nicholas is the abbey’s master glazier. He is fascinated by William’s glasses—an invention he had only heard of before—and makes William a new pair when his are stolen. After Remigio’s arrest, Nicholas is appointed cellarer, and he uses the authority of his new position to let William and Adso into the crypt, where he tells them the history of the power struggle over who would become abbot and the enmity between Malachi and Alinardo.
