Nicholas Fury is the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., which, during his time as director, became the world's leading international military espionage agency. Nick becomes the driving force that eventually sees the different heroes become a unique response team known as the Avengers. While his past at the current time is unknown, he is a gifted leader and a capable operative on his own.
Nick is currently in hiding and is assumed deceased. Nick is somewhat of an enigma, but his actions prove him to be bold and pragmatic. It's nearly impossible to read his emotions. He is known to manipulate people and is the bearer of many, classified, global security secrets. Nor does he tell whatever happened to his missing eye. However, while showing Project Insight to Steve Rogers he gives a backstory saying, "Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye", insinuating he doesn't trust easily and he is known to compartmentalize. Nick and his organisation, S.H.I.E.L.D., share a cynical outlook. Sometimes, Nick finds that cutthroat actions and clandestine, illegal operations are necessary to protect the world. Nick stated that "the world is filling up with people that can't be matched" and advocates methods for S.H.I.E.L.D. to arm themselves against potential threats, even if it involves creating weapons of mass destruction. Nick himself quotes "that S.H.I.E.L.D. sees the world as it is, not how it likes to be seen"; though Captain America believed that Project Insight was controlling people using fear.
