Nicolas Amaro, Sr. is the estranged father of Nick Amaro.

History[]

Nicolas was physically abusive to his ex-wife Cesaria as well as Nick when he was a child. When Nicolas was accused of assaulting his fiancé Gabriella at their rehearsal dinner, he is arrested. Nicolas claimed that a guest named Javier Arenas assaulted Gabriella, but Nick was not convinced.

Nick eventually testified against Nicolas, revealing the abuse he suffered at his hands, which angered Cesaria and Nicolas's daughter Sonya. Despite the claims, Nicolas was acquitted. He then returned to the precinct and tried to repair his relationship with Nick, but Nick told him that he's not ready yet, still holding some disdain for him. Nicolas then heavily hints that he did indeed assault Gabriella, stating that he was too old to go to jail and claiming that she forgave him. Before leaving, Nicolas further tells Nick that he genuinely wishes to fix their relationship and that the hatred he has for him is self-destructive and he'll be there when he's ready to do so.
