Back to the Roots.

It has been discovered that between the years of 2000 and 2001, Nicholas Black and several others both organized and officiated over several bare-knuckle, pit-fighting events throughout the united states. The events matched opponents together based on their weight and let them fight for 10 minutes without pause. The winners were determined by either knock-out or submission. There were no decisions. Mr. Black and his associates would routinely allow personal grudge matches to be settled behind closed doors at a facility that they all trained at during the week. The pit fights went on for several years until state regulators began to crack down and file injunctions against them, bringing a halt to the matches. the Attorney's General and several congressmen stepped in to insure that such "underground fighting" would be discontinued.

Living in the night

In the mid '90s, Nicholas Black worked as a Doorman and bouncer at several nightclubs including: The Mirage, Liquid, The Gold Bar, INOX, Privilege, Soul City, Play 2, Es Paradis. He also participated in throwing several private parties around the world. Mr. Black claims to have never smoked, done any drugs, or used alcohol. so this choice of employment is a rather puzzling part of this mystery. His former associates claim him to be strict and uncompromising when he's in charge of the door at a club, but add, "...but he makes sure we all make a lot of money and nobody goes to jail." When not working the front of the clubs, Mr. black would assist the floor men with any "Troubling Patrons" that needed removing from the facility. Mr. Black was, "...quick to spin a guy around and choke him out!" The last club he worked at was Privilege, in Spain. It holds the legitimate title of being the largest club on earth.

Did Mr. Black Serve in a Clandestin Mercenary Group?

A group of five former Legionaries formed a security consulting firm in 2001. That group specialized in Discretionary Surveillance Operations. It is later learned through photographs of the unit--which intelligence agencies claimed to be a group of mercenaries--that one of their members is Nicholas Black.

All the members of the unit served in the French foreign Legion during the same, or overlapping, years. All of them have been spotted in Western Europe, and Northern Africa between 2001 and 2005.

The unit--referred to as '5 COMMANDO'--fell off of the grid suddenly in 2003. It is not known for how long, or to what extent, Nicholas Black worked with this unit. He has close associations with members of the private firm BLACKWATER, and various other Private Military Companies. At this time there are no pictures of all five members of 5 COMMANDO, however there are various photographs of various members during some kind of exercise off the coast of Mainland Spain.

We are trying to obtain copies of these photographs for later posting.

Something Wicked this Way Came?

- In June of 1995, while living in Chicago, 4 different witnesses claim to see a translucent black form standing over the bed of Nicholas Black while he was sleeping. The sightings continued on and off for a period of 11 days, with multiple witnesses. The form is described as being tall and thin, with no discernible facial features, and is seen several times near dusk and just before dawn.

-In July of 2002, in Western Europe, Mr. Black's roommate claims to see a "slender black creature" leaning over Mr. Black's bed at just after 3 pm. in the afternoon. The sightings continue on and off for the next 5 months. Mr. Black, himself, watches as one of the shadow forms makes his way from the front door of their apartment, running towards the hallway that leads directly to his bedroom, and suddenly stops at the foot of the bed while Mr. Black was in an aware state of physical paralysis(having control over only his eyes, but not the rest of his body) while the creature stared down at him for just over a minute before running through a wall and disappearing. They try several experiments to capture the forms on camera and audio, with store-bought equipment.

-While attending University in the United States, Nicholas Black studied in the fields of Psychology as well as philosophy. Mr. Black spent a significant amount of time studying Abnormal and Criminal Psychology.

Internationa Experience.

Nicholas black was a member of the legendary French Foreign Legion, where he served at both the 1st and 4th regiments. Mr. Black was a trained Diver, as well as being schooled in "Tactical Questioning" (Interrogation and torture techniques), Small-unit Ambush tactics, Counter insurgency operations, and several other more discretionary skills that were not made available to investigators. It is alleged that Mr. Black's ties to the Russian Mob, as well as several other Eastern European Criminal organizations, originated in the French Foreign Legion. It is nearly impossible to enlist in the Legion without significant criminal history in your past.
