Nico Sanchez

Nico Sanchez was a member of the Pacific Glade police force and the former boyfriend of police recruit Abigail Shannon.

Overview[]

Nico is the officer who brings Mark Hannigan's attention to the Harvey Jackson case. When Jackson's corpse comes to life and tries to strangle Mark, Nico attempts to fight back, but Mark is saved by the Inspector.

Nico joins Mark and the Inspector in interviewing a distraught Janine Zimmerman when Sheriff Olivia Marconi goes missing. He remains skeptical of Janine's claims about a wendigo stalking the forest and ultimately leaves the rescue efforts to Mark and the Inspector.

Nico is in the police station when the quake hits Pacific Glade. He helps take a wounded Abigail to the hospital in the midst of all the chaos.

In the months following the quake, Nico helps drive Abigail to work after her injury, and the two form a close friendship.

Nico and Abigail have since started a relationship, and they attend the Inspector's Halloween party together. Nico is the first to confront the Semblance when it appears in the guise of Mark Hannigan. When he tries to stand up to the entity, the Semblance makes his prop lumberjack axe real and buries it in his chest, killing him.

Nico is reanimated by the Semblance to terrify Abigail down at the police station. The Semblance refers to him as a "preview of coming attractions," hinting at the imminent zombie uprising.

In this story's universe, Nico is the Pacific Glade sheriff instead of Olivia Marconi. He has a reputation for being a sexist in the workplace and often hits on detective Ruth Hannigan, despite both of them being married. When the Chronicler attempts to repeatedly rewrite reality to save Mark Hannigan from a gruesome death, the universe reasserts itself by forcing Nico to choke Mark to death. Ruth knocks Nico out in her efforts to save Mark, but these events are later reset in the next time loop.
