Justin is Niko’s cousin, and they have been close their whole lives. Niko has always looked at Justin as an older brother, since they grew up together. Justin got Niko into many of the things he loves today, such as anime, emo music, and Kingdom Hearts. Although they have not always lived nearby, they have always remained close. Nowadays, the two can hardly be separated once they begin talking about the various Fantasy books that they have read, always sharing their opinions and crack pot theories. They also love to play Super Smash Bros, which has developed into a healthy rivalry with lots of trash talk along the way.
