Nicholas Rizzo

Nick Rizzo is a character from the story Something to Be by Sammy41 on fanfiction.net. He is best known as a half-manticore who is the love interest of Sam Mitchell.

Backstory
Nicholas Rizzo was born October 7, 2003. He is the son of a half-witch Derek Rizzo and manticore mother making him a half-breed. He was named after his grandfather Nicholas Rizzo who was a full-blood witch. Both his parents are deceased. His mother was vanquished by the Charmed Ones during his infancy. He was raised by his father, Derek, who was killed by demons when Nick was 17.

Nick first came in contact with the Halliwells when he met Sam Mitchell at P3. The two slept together, unaware that they were of opposing lineages. When Nick learned she was a Halliwell and revealed that he was a manticore the two stopped sleeping together. Not long after, Sam's mother, Paige Matthews-Mitchell was killed by demons. Nick comforted Sam when she came to him and asked for his help with finding who killed her. Sam later asked him to stop but once her twin sister Kate charged her with investigating their mother's death she asked Nick to help her.

On Valentine's Day Nick and Sam share a kiss, sparking the relationship back in action.

It has not been addressed that the Halliwells knew Nick's father Derek or that they are responsible for the vanquish of his mother.

Nick spends a majority of his time in the Underworld. He has no clear alliance with either good or evil as he trusts neither party. He is very much rogue and out for himself.

Powers
As a half-manticore Nick's powers consist of shimmering, sonic scream, elastic tongue, and sensing. Since he also has some witch lineage he has the ability to brew potions. Nick spends a majority of his time in the Underworld so it is inferred he is also skilled in combat and attacks.
