'''Adelai Niska''' was one of the most dangerous enemies of [[Malcolm Reynolds]] and his crew.  He was the leader of a criminal syndicate that dealt in murder, extortion, robbery, smuggling, and drug trafficking. 

==Biography==
Niska was an old man, grandfatherly in appearance, with a Slavic accent (probably Czech<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4NhnoviltU Czech_sentence_in_Firefly]</ref>).  His seemingly benign appearance masked a ruthless, sadistic and cunning personality.  By the time he encountered the crew of ''[[Serenity]]'', he had established a reputation for cruelty and violence.  He seemed to take pleasure in torturing his victims, viewing the practice as an art form.<ref>[[War Stories]]</ref>

He had an antique [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_lamp Tiffany lamp] on his desk (which was worth a fortune, being an authentic relic from [[Earth-That-Was]]). He had a henchman named [[Crow]], until Malcolm kicked him into the ship's engine intake.{{Ref|<ref name="The Train Job" />}}

His center of business was on an artificial satellite known as [[Niska's Skyplex]], in orbit around the world of [[Ezra]]. His assistant was a man named [[Viktor]] and he eventually found [[Unidentified torturer|a replacement]] for Crow as his torturer. After he captured and tortured Reynolds and [[Hoban Washburne]], the rest of ''[[Serenity]]''{{'s}} crew invaded the Skyplex and killed many of Niska's top associates in the process of rescuing their comrades. Niska managed to escape the battle. {{Ref|<ref name="War Stories" />}}
