Adelai Niska

From The Firefly and Serenity Database

Adelai Niska was one of the more dangerous enemies of Malcolm Reynolds and his crew. He was the leader of a criminal syndicate that dealt in murder, extortion, robbery, and drug dealing .

Niska was an old man, grandfatherly in appearance, with an indeterminate Eastern European accent; he had an antique Tiffany lamp on his desk (which was worth a fortune if an authentic relic of Earth-That-Was). He had a henchman named Crow, until Malcolm kicked him into the ship's engine intake.

His center of business was on a satellite known as Skyplex, in orbit around the world of Ezra. After he captured and tortured Reynolds and Hoban Washburne, the rest of the Serenity's crew invaded the Skyplex and killed many of Niska's top people in the process of rescuing their comrades.^[1]
