Appearances
Clear Sky
Nimble was a guide/information collector in the now dissolved faction of Clear Sky. He does not do much but sleep on a chair outside Lebedev's door, claiming he hasn't slept for three or four days. Before Scar goes out to help Clear Sky reinforce the Swamps, Nimble briefs him about the faction wars and his PDA. He eventually left Clear Sky after their downfall at the Chernobyl NPP. Nimble gives a variety of stash coordinates around the Swamps, most notable ones is a rare OG-7v rocket for 2000 rubles, a stash with a Mossberg Maverick 88, and a USB flash disk containing upgrades for the H&K MP5 for 1500 rubles. Here Nimble appears to be at his peak in physical shape, possibly because he is fairly new to the zone during this time, as he appears much slimmer in the STALKER timeline (it could also be that NPC's wearing the CS-3a body armor automatically have a large physique).
Shadow of Chernobyl
After the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, he then worked in the Cordon for Sidorovich. One such mission was recovering information from the Military in Agroprom. He, along with Tolik and an unknown Stalker, was ambushed by Bandits near the trailer at the bridge in the Cordon. The Bandits wounded Tolik but spared Nimble because that he claimed to know about a stash of artifacts. The Marked One eventually rescues him from the Bandits at the request of Sidorovich for his USB flash drive. Upon his rescue, he will give the location of a stash for free, it contains a Stone Blood and some 12x70 Buckshot shells. It should be noted that it's not really a stash, but more of a stockpile located at the top of the derailed trainengine surround by rad's and anomalies. After his rescue, he proceeds to go off sleeping like in Clear Sky in one of the cabins in the village center until the mission of the Mercs, after that he can be found sitting alone at the campfire.
Nimble offers one job - Find the perfected suit. You must find the unique Mail Jacket, the location is marked on your PDA.
Call of Pripyat
Nimble appears as a rare equipment dealer and can be found in the upper levels of Skadovsk. He supplies Stalkers with expensive weapons and armor, who then hand over a generous amount of money. Some of the wares include a Clear Sky battle armor designed by Novikov, an SVU previously owned by Max, and Wolfhound's signature H&K USP, as well as weaponry from a failed UN expedition (this most likely being Clear Sky's campaign).
He explains his change of occupation as originally being one of Sidorovich's runners, eventually assembling his own list of contacts within the Zone and outside of the Zone in order to begin his own business securing high quality gear for the wealthy and well-to-do Stalkers. A curious note is that, while insisting his weapons are fairly gained and are never taken from the deceased or the living, he sells gear supposedly belonging to Wolfhound and Max, both of whom likely die shortly after the events of Shadow of Chernobyl. He seems to have an over-abundance of UN equipment, as he mentions both the H&K G36K and FN F2000 as being taken from failed UN expeditions, most likely Clear Sky's campaign.
However, while he may not be totally truthful about not taking items from deceased Stalkers, the people of the Skadovsk all testify for his character when Snag accuses the player of having a stolen weapon. Owl, his only competition, admits that Nimble might have the best gear, but refuses to compromise his integrity by associating with the shadier side of business. Cardan states that he was only able to start up his technician business thanks to Nimble's contributions (he helped him set up the workshop). If you refuse to buy a gun from him after ordering it he will want more money for the next order.
Equipment for sale

Buying one of the weapons triggers a sidequest with the shady Loner Snag, who will attempt to take your gun away claiming it as his own. If you are wearing the Clear Sky suit when talking to Grey he'll comment about it and the faction for which it was created.
