| Niccolo was present during the raid on the home of an obscenely wealthy [[Sirhtan Rich Man|merchant]] in [[Sirhtan]], from whom [[Hawkeye]] claimed a chest full of lucre. His exact role is not explained, but he provides some cover for their escape. He then returns to his shop in the [[Nevarl Fortress|fortress]].

| As Hawkeye was framed by [[Belladonna|Isabella]] for the murder of his close friend [[Eagle]], he was sent to a prison cell deep in the fortress. [[Jessica]], the young thief's friend and love interest, tries to inquires about her brother's death to him, but Isabella gave her the [[Choker of Death]], killing her off should Hawkeye tells her the truth. While the prisoner attempts to find a way to escape, Niccolo crafts a bomb and blows out the rear wall of the cell, leading to an escape tunnel that links with the shop. He sends Hawkeye on his way, knowing in full that he was not at fault for the murder. Before the pair part ways, Niccolo advises Hawkeye to seek the [[Priest of Light]] as he might know how to undo Jessica's curse and vows to keep watch over his friend.

| Unfortunately, Niccolo succumbs to Belladonna's magic and accompanies Nevarlan forces in their siege of [[Palo]] and [[Laurent]]. In this state, he becomes mute and unresponsive, much to Hawkeye's anguish. Niccolo is later freed as the heroes recapture the Citadel. When they return to Palo, the party observes Niccolo being accosted by two residents still angry over the siege. Hawkeye intervenes to tell them Niccolo was not of his own mind during the invasion, and they stand down. Niccolo thanks the party for rescuing him, after which the heroes continue their quest.

| Completing Niccolo's event awards Hawkeye the Lucky Find II Chain Ability if he is in the party.

| In their search for the remaining elementals, the party runs into Belladonna before the [[Fiery Gorge]], who releases Jessica from the Choker of Death but keeps her hostage while sending Bill and Ben to settle an old score. They are dispatched, but this frees Belladonna to go after the Firestone unimpeded. With Jessica still in tow, Belladonna confronts the heroes having released the Firestone's mana energy, sacrificing [[Bil & Ben]] instead. If Hawkeye is in the party, Niccolo throws a dart that distracts Belladonna and forces her to flee. He then takes Jessica to [[Diin]] to allow her to recover from her ordeal.

| In Hawkeye's epilogue, The young thief is seen heading back to Diin where Jessica and Niccolo wait for him. The catfolk claims all Nevarlan thieves of the world are gathering back to the sand fortress, and they should return there, too.

| During post-game [[Chapter 7 (Trials of Mana)|Chapter 7]] exclusive to the HD remake, the Nevarl Fortress has been in an uproar and Niccolo tells Hawkeye to go see Jessica in the audience chamber to hear all the details. Turns out of all the nation's money reserve have been stolen while Hawkeye was searching for the elusive [[Loyal Sphere]] to gain access to [[Class 4]]. Jessica tells him she suspects her late brother hiding the stash away once he saw something amiss with Flamekhan's behavior. She adds that Eagle asked her to tell Hawkeye to search in the Fiery Gorge. The party goes there, and finds the treasure hidden behind a wall. There, they find a holographic message of Eagle telling Hawkeye to convince Jessica not to plunder like the thief's guild used to do and find righteous ways to make a living.
