About
When young Johnny once took his pet mouse Danny to secretly feed it under the table during dinner, his father, upon discovering it, ordered the child to drown the animal himself as punishment. Heartbroken Johnny couldn't bring himself to do the deed, and followed Nicholas' suggestion to set Danny free into the woods instead.

Years later Nicholas grew into a promising jockey-to-be surpassing even Diego Brando. One day Nicholas's horse stumbled from something on the ground which cost him his life. Johnny watched a white mouse run from the commotion into the woods – a mouse he believed to be Danny. Seven years later, it was Johnny who rose to fame as a racing prodigy, however his father still did not acknowledge him and his feats, even asking God 'why had it taken Nicholas and not Johnny'.

During the fight with Axl Ro Nicholas and Danny were seen once more manifested from Johnny's guild over freeing Danny and accidentally leading to Nicholas dead.
