| Hi miss3cris! 
miss3cris, you state that Lonnie remembered Nicholas. However, Lonnie wasn’t the real Vilandra. Lonnie was duped into thinking she had been Vilandra. She and the other Dupes weren’t given the Granilith. Lonnie and the other Dupes were decoys, who were located by enemies and outsiders, after Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess used the orbs, which generated a signal around Earth. That signal and its interception are shown at the end of Destiny, the last episode of Season One.
Lonnie probably lied about remembering Nicholas, in order to convince Nicholas to take her with him. Lonnie wasn’t like Isabel, the real Vilandra. Isabel cared about other people and helped them. Lonnie assisted Rath killing her brother Zan. The real Vilandra hadn’t killed her brother. Kivar lied about Vilandra killing King Zan and betraying her people. Michael remembered that Kivar had lied about wanting peace, and then murdered everyone. The real Vilandra hadn't killed her brother. Lonnie, though, was part of New-York-Zan's murder.
Nicholas wasn’t Kivar’s second-in-command on Earth. Nicholas was forced to wear the husk of a prepubescent teen. He wasn’t valued by Kivar. He was punished by having to wear a husk that women wouldn’t be romantically attracted to. He looked like a school kid. He couldn’t go to places on Earth, where only adults are allowed. He couldn’t blend in with adults. He wasn’t a commander on Earth or anywhere. Nicholas didn’t look the way he looked on Antar. He didn’t announce his name to the other delegates. Nicholas arrived at the Summit uninvited.
Nasedo didn’t protect the Royal Four. He raised Tess. He told Tess that Kivar was her ally. But Kivar wasn’t Tess’ ally. Kivar wanted to kill her child. People who are allies don’t kill the loved children of their allies.
Nasedo used Tess for a while, to help him find Max, Michael, and Isabel. Nasedo got the Special Unit disbanded, so Max, Michael, and Isabel would trust him and so he would have an excuse to return to Roswell, so he could again attempt to get the Royal Four captured.
Nasedo wrote a note to Tess, telling her that he was her true protector. Nasedo didn’t tell Max, Michael, or Isabel about the beautiful, completely intact spaceship or about the diamond key needed to operate it. Nasedo didn’t tell Tess the spaceship location or the location of the diamond key, even though he stated in his note that he knew he might die. Nasedo didn’t tell Max, Michael, or Isabel about the Granilith. Nasedo didn’t translate the book for Tess (or Max or Michael or Isabel). He didn’t tell them how they had been killed on Antar. He didn’t give Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess essential information they needed to know, in the event of his death. Nasedo was Max, Michael, Isabel, and Tess’ enemy.
miss3cris, you say that you think of Kal and Nasedo as bodyguards, rather than protectors. But neither Kal nor Nasedo protected Max with their lives. Neither Kal nor Nasedo lived in the same home as Max. They lived miles away from Max. Kal lived over 900 miles away from Max. Neither Kal nor Nasedo were were bodyguards. They didn’t protect.
The Skins knew that the Royal Four had been sent to Earth, and that the Royal Four had the Granilith. Kivar may have wanted them to give him the Granilith, but the Skins wanted the Granilith for themselves. Whitaker and Nicholas each tried to get the Granilith for themselves, without enlisting the help of the other Skins. Nicholas only used the other Skins to help him get the Granilith, after he failed to get it his first try.
The Skins were marooned on Earth, without any way off Earth. That is fact in the story. At the end of Harvest, Greer states that the Skins are all as good as dead. If the Skins had been in good standing with Kivar, Kivar would have left a spaceship for them to leave Earth, in order to give him the Granilith or in order to save their lives, in case of disasters like having their new husks destroyed. Or Kivar, if he cared about the Skins or trusted the Skins to give him the Granilith, would have left the Skins with the resources and expertise to build a spaceship for themselves, so they could leave Earth and give him the Granilith, when they found it.
But Kivar didn’t leave the Skins with a spaceship or the means to build one. The Skins were exiles on Earth. The Skins were sent to Earth as punishment. They were forced to live in husks they hated.
In the car on the way to Roswell, Rath reported that Zan could have ruled a planet, but he didn’t want to. Rath said the Summit members didn’t want just the royal three, they wanted the King. That is in the story. The Summit members wanted King Zan—not Kivar. The Summit members hadn’t invited Kivar, or a representative from Kivar, to the Summit in New York. The Summit members hadn’t been able to find peace with Kivar in power, after he murdered the Royal Four. The Summit members wanted King Zan, not Kivar.
Nicholas arrived at the Summit uninvited. He found out about the Summit from the Dupes. He sent Lonnie, Rath, and Ava to Roswell to get Max, so he could trick Max into giving him the Granilith at the Summit. If Nicholas had been working for Kivar, he could have had Kivar send troops to capture Max and the others in Roswell and get the Granilith from them there. We know that Kivar later came to Rowell to get Isabel. We know that Kivar wanted more than the Granilith.
Kal and Nasedo avoided Max as much as possible. Neither of them were protectors or bodyguards. Nasedo watched Max, Michael, and Isabel for months. He burned a photograph of them on the library lawn in February. He didn't tell Michael or Isabel who he was, until May, after Max was captured. He didn't warn Max, Michael, or Isabel about Pierce. He didn't kill Pierce, while Pierce was in Roswell, as Deputy Fisher. Nasedo could have murdered Pierce as easily as he killed the agent in downtown Roswell, in broad daylight. But he didn't, not even when he stood right next to Pierce in the white room. Nasedo's goal wasn't to kill Pierce. Nasedo's goal was to sequentially capture the Royal Four. Kal's goal was to keep Max from the spaceship. Both Kal and Nasedo were evil people. Each of them knowingly and intentionally harmed Max and the others, without provocation.
Hi shapeshifter!
No, Nasedo and Kal didn’t obey other Royals. Michael told Nasedo to leave the white room with them, but Nasedo didn’t. Tess told Nasedo to never leave her alone like that again, but Nasedo told her that he now had four of them to watch. Nasedo left Tess alone in Roswell, throughout the summer.
Nasedo, who some people call Tic-Tac, didn’t save Michael or preserve Michael’s identity, by killing Hank.
Hank was drunk, when Michael used his powers against Hank. Hank was a well-known drunk. No one had believed Hank’s story about Michael’s powers, when Michael was a child, and no one would have believed Hank in the present day either. In addition, as Isabel noted, it was unlikely that Hank would even remember what had happened in the morning, since Hank was so drunk.
Nasedo took Hank away, made agonized cries and shot gun blasts in the trailer, in order to alert neighbors, in order to frame Michael for Hank’s disappearance. Nasedo (also referred to as Tic-Tac) wanted Michael to be captured and held by humans.
After Michael was completely exonerated in Hank’s disappearance, Nasedo, aka Tic-Tac, pretended to the sheriff that Hank was still alive. Nasedo then buried Hank’s body, rather than destroying the body or making Hank’s death look like an accident. Nasedo (Tic-Tac) wanted to be able to frame Michael for Hank’s death at a later time. Topolsky escaped to Roswell, with the second orb, before Nasedo could get Michael arrested a second time.
After Tess told Nasedo that Max, Michael, and Isabel were her family, and showed that she trusted Max and not Nasedo, that same day Nasedo immediately framed Max for all the silver handprint murders. If Max hadn’t been captured at the carnival, he would have been captured later.
If Max hadn’t followed the clues to the carnival, Nasedo would have murdered Liz at the carnival, with witnesses, so that Max would have been captured later.
Nasedo knew that Max loved Liz and had saved her life. He knew that Max would try to save her, after he kidnapped Liz. Nasedo knew that Maria had seen him take Liz. Nasedo left clues for Max to follow Liz to the carnival. At the roadside where Nasedo dumped the agent’s body, Nasedo heard that Max knew that Liz was taken by a shapeshifter, who looked like Max. Nasedo then made certain the Roswell police department received a picture of him in Max’s form at the gas station. (Nasedo had been in the Roswell police department, when he gave the FBI camera to the Sheriff. Nasedo, as Ed Harding, was able to scope out the equipment in the police department.) Max and law enforcement followed the clues to the carnival.
Nasedo framed Max for all the silver handprint crimes, in order to get Max captured and held by humans. After Max was captured at the carnival, Nasedo couldn’t kill Liz, while he was in Max’s form, because then law enforcement would know that the captured Max wasn’t the Max who murdered Liz. Nasedo couldn’t kill Liz on the bus, because someone might have seen him in Max’s form taking Liz onto the bus. Nasedo wanted law enforcement to think that they had captured the evil alien Max.
Nasedo’s goal was to get the Royal Four sequentially captured and held by humans. Nasedo may have been working for Kivar. Or Nasedo may have been working for himself alone.
