Ned Nickerson

Ned Nickerson is Nancy Drew's boyfriend in the Nancy Drew PC adventure games. He has yet to be seen in any game, but has had a voice appearance in the majority of the series. His voice actor is Ryan Campbell in Game #2 Stay Tuned for Danger and Scott Carty in all the games thereafter. His voice actor was also someone else in Game #1 Secrets Can Kill.

Fictional Biography
Ned is one of the friends Nancy can call in almost all of the Nancy Drew games. What he is doing while she calls him is not always made apparent (well, besides worrying about and missing her.), though there are some exceptions. In Treasure in the Royal Tower, a voice answering machine said that you had reached him at Omega Chi Epsilon, though it is not know whether or not it is a fraternity as it was in the books. (He seemed to make it out in the game as more of a library than a brotherhood). In Game #18 Phantom of Venice, he was staying with Frank and Joe Hardy in Bayport while researching for school. Frank proceeded to "tinker" with his car by stringing the parts out across the basement floor.

Ned is a student at Emerson College. He seems to worry about Nancy while she's working on her cases. Ned seems to be kind of nerdy as he is often 'buried in books'. It is unsure of whether or not he and Nancy are actually dating.

Personality
Ned is upbeat and optimistic. He has a deep love for Nancy, though most the games seem to lack in displays of this affection, with a few exceptions. Ned cares for Nancy and offers his support, even though he doesn't always approve of her sleuthing. Ned says that he misses Nancy sometimes on the telephone in the games.
