it is stated quite plainly that Nimue was a tightly held secret and as few people as possible were to know.
That's a valid complaint. I worked around it by saying that one of the guys who knew about her and was scheduled to die the next day didn't actually die. Still yet, he would have to wonder whether having her fight during the war against the fallen would increase their chances for winning against the Church of God Awaiting, or decrease them. Of course, sometimes when the vicissitudes of war are going against you, it's sometimes difficult to keep sight of those nuances.
It would have been a colossal risk to someone who had sacrificed her life in order to alter the history of Safehold at a safe(r) date.
That may not be true. Since she's in a PICA it might be difficult to torture a confession out of her. In fact, she might not even be aware of the original PICA waiting in the Mountains of Light. If she's not, then there's little that activating her during the WAtF could reveal.
Nimue would been have likely been unwilling to go back to sleep
Possible. Or it's possible that decades of atrocities and counter-atrocities drove her to the point of suicide. Alternatively, maybe my explanation of a second PICA allows for the possibility that it took an OBS strike to the head. Whatever the explanation, her being a PICA explains why a mere demon was able to defeat a Marine armed and unarmed combat instructor with fifteen years of experience.
everyone who knew about her PICA was suffering from a slight case of being rather erm dead during the war of the fallen.
We know that they were scheduled to be dead in the next day's explosion, and we know that the explosion happened. What we don't know if the dead part actually happened.
Only Proctor could have Purged Nimue's memory
No. Apparently purging a PICA's memory is a rather common occurrence.
