Appearance:
BRIEF Bio: At one point in his life, Nigel Keane was considered one of the top men’s figure skaters in the world, and a favorite to gold the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. The oldest of five children. Nigel lived a difficult life as despite his parents both working hard, the money was hard to come by and often the family struggled to make ends meet. Growing up in Essex Nigel often ended up doing a lot of work himself to keep the family together.
When he was 11 Nigel ended up going to a schoolmate birthday party at the local ice rink. There Nigel met for the first time Roger Hart, a former pro figure skater who worked at the facility as an instructor. Nigel watched Roger demonstrate his figure skating prowess and was the only one there that day who not only noticed, but be enthralled by the sport. Although he tried to quickly dismiss what he saw. He didn’t have the money to train or get ice skates normally, as his friend paid for his admission and skate rentals that day.
Soon though Nigel would scrape together whatever he could to go on his own, biking over to the ice rink to try and figure out the graceful moves he had seen that day. Eventually getting Roger’s attention. Roger saw Nigel’s heart and determination and decided to strike a deal. If Nigel was willing to help do work around Roger’s house for him, he’d be willing to help train Nigel in figure skating for free.
The two quickly developed a strong bond, as Nigel would visit each day after school to help Roger with his home, and then train until it was time to go home that night. His family noticed, eventually buying Nigel his own ice skates that Christmas. Soon Nigel was entered into competitions and simply dominated with his clean moves and axel combos. Eventually able to turn pro Nigel started to travel the world, although barely missing the cut for the 1988 Winter Olympics. Nigel learned quickly and was able to win the 1990 and 1991 Figure Skating World Championships. The first Englishman to accomplish the feat since 1939.
Shortly after the 1991 World Championships in Munich, Germany however, Nigel was traveling to Szczecin, Poland by taxi for a promotional shoot. It was late, around 2 am, and Nigel was asleep in the back of the taxi. The road they were on was a single lane, but police said when it was struck it seemed the accident should’ve been head on. Although the driver was killed, Nigel’s body and any bodies in the other vehicle vanished. The police were unaware those in the other vehicle were gone, with Nigel’s injured body, having completed their mission for Black Ghost.
