In the Oliver nocturne series who are Fagin and Bill Sykes and why is Oliver scared of them?
Fagin and Bill Sykes are not characters in Oliver Nocturne (by Bill Emerson), they are characters in the classic novel Oliver Twist (by Charles Dickens). In Oliver Twist, Fagin is a thief who provides food, shelter and organization to a group of boys - who he then trains as thieves. Oliver is not usually scared of Fagin because Fagin takes a liking to Oliver. Bill Sykes, on the other hand, is a past trainee/associate of Fagin who is a lot more ruthless. His girlfriend Nancy is also Fagin's main 'fence' (someone who takes what he has stolen and sells it). Bill is rough, and is the most scared when Oliver starts living with Mr Brownlow because he thinks Oliver will rat them out. So, he kidnaps Oliver and then uses him in a theft. Bill also uses violence as a means to control people, whereas Fagin usually only threatens violence, but relies more on his tongue to solve his problems.
