I’m curious about how Nizan went from studying architecture to joining law enforcement. This kind of versatility is rare – I’ve asked leads such as Specialists Gustav “Doc” Kateb and Miles “Castle” Campbell to challenge Nizan more during operations. The field reports reflect some of Nizan’s chameleon-like way of merging into whatever role is required. His mother’s ability to explore different vocations with verve – bookkeeping, street busker, florist, tour guide, sommelier, and chef – all strongly influenced how Nizan adapts to challenges and what goals he sets out for himself. Nizan’s father is a stone mason, which requires imagination, precision, and dedication. I would argue that it’s this openness to the world around him that led to the creation of his protective – yet still highly flexible – armor plating. Julien and his sister, Élodie, were especially encouraged to be curious about everything. From his descriptions, it sounds like his parents imparted their eclectic tastes. Very quickly into our conversation it was clear that Nizan’s interests are wide-reaching.
In reviewing Specialist Julien “Rook” Nizan’s file, what stands out is his ability to adapt to demands. Specializing in hostage rescue and surveillance, Nizan’s list of successful interventions is extensive. His first operations with that unit combined all of the elements to satisfy his endless pursuit of challenges and adventure, according to staff psychologists. His adaptability put him at the top of the list in military and defense courses, quickly catching the attention of the GIGN. Nizan thrived in his training, which included specialized qualifications in weapons, surveillance, and criminal investigations. He later dropped out of university to cycle across France before returning and joining the Gendarmerie. Along with Nizan’s intellectual interests, he excelled in athletics from an early age, including Track & Field, fencing, and cycling.
They both informed his sense of architectural design and precision, helping him earn top rankings in school.
Nizan’s father is a respected stone mason while his mother held numerous jobs. “If you're going to get shot, you may as well do it right.”
