Biography
Nix is present in the meeting between Arnett and Quarles during which Quarles demands repayment of a loan Arnett took from the Detroit arm of the Dixie Mafia. After Quarles departs, Arnett sends Nix to get money to pay off the loan. As a result, Nix takes a pizza delivery man named Eddie hostage to enter the house of Delmar Coates, a watch store owner with a reputation for fighting off armed robbers. He then forces Coates to open the safe, and places his gun on the table before telling Coates that if he grabs the gun first after the count of ten, he wins the game. After the count of ten, Nix stabs Coates in the hand with an ice pick when he goes for the gun, before grabbing it himself and shooting Coates dead. He then kills Eddie on the way out.

After the money is intercepted by the US marshals before it can reach Arnett due to Quarles tipping them off so he can kill Arnett, Nix follows Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens to his hotel room and holds him at gunpoint, forcing him to play the same game he did with Coates. However, when Nix attempts the ice pick trick, Raylan manages to grab the tablecloth and use it to pull the gun towards him, resulting in Nix stabbing the table before being shot in the shoulder by Raylan. What happens to Nix after this is unknown, but it's likely that he was arrested by Raylan.
