The Old Guard
Nile first appears while serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan. She is shown interacting kindly with a local child shortly before engaging in a mission to capture a military target. Nile shoots the target and then tends to his wounds so that he might be able to provide important information to the United States military. The target grabs a hidden knife from his pants and slits Nile's throat before losing consciousness and dying. Another Marine attempts to stop Nile's bleeding but is unsuccessful.

The Old Guard is awoken in the middle of the night when they all dream of Nile's first death. Joe and the others describe to each other details that they noticed in their dream, and Joe quickly sketches her face in a notebook. Joe and Nicky empathize with Nile and advocate for finding her as quickly as possible. Booker, however, wants to focus on Copley first. Andy begrudgingly sides with Joe and Nicky. Using the details and Joe's sketch, Andy retrieves Nile from Afghanistan and brings her back to France.

Nile dreams of the other immortals as well, apparently at the same time that they dream of her. She awakens in a military infirmary with a bandage around her neck, confused as to how she survived. The doctors and other soldiers are equally confused, especially when Nile removes the bandage to reveal her neck has healed perfectly. A fellow soldier returns Nile's dog tags and tells her that they removed them because they were certain that she would not survive.

Nile's birth year is 1994. She was raised on the south side of Chicago; her father was a Marine, killed in combat while she was still a child. Her ethnicity is black. She wears her hair in multiple braids. She is skilled in the US Marines' style of mixed-martial arts combat, knife fighting, and with shooting an M-16. She is capable of quick situational assessment. She has a love of art history and can tell a Rodin sculpture at first glance.
