He can be impulsive and must self-regulate in order to remain on task. Nizan and Pichon then pursued the robbers across Paris in a high-speed motorcycle chase and eventually caught them. Nizan was shot in the head but was saved by his helmet. They tracked and confronted the robbers who started firing at them. Having faced a similar situation during training under The Program, Nizan and Pichon suspected the fires had been started in order to distract from a major bank heist across the city. The GIGN deployed the pair and several other officers to keep order from the chaos caused by the fire. Five years later in June 2020, Nizan and Emmanuelle 'Twitch' Pichon were in Paris, France when two large fires emerged downtown. In 2015, Nizan was recruited into Rainbow alongside several other GIGN officers. 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 subsequently enlisted in the National Gendarmerie and was assigned to the Highway Patrol Unit. Nizan was fascinated by the level of planning required by the police.

At age eighteen, the National Gendarmerie enlisted his father for an anti-corruption sting with local businesses. He later dropped out of university to cycle across France. Along with Nizan's intellectual interests, he excelled in athletics from an early age, including Track & Field, fencing, and cycling. Both of them informed his sense of architectural design and precision, helping him earn top rankings in school. His father was a respected stone mason while his mother held numerous jobs. Nizan was the youngest son of a working-class family. Julien Nizan was born on January 6 in Tours, France.
