Kolya is Ilya's fraternal twin and one of the original members of the Mad Dogs gang. He is cheeky, unpredictable, and a huge daredevil, often one to take risks just for the thrill of it (or just to piss off his brother). After leaving the gang, Kolya decided to fully lean into his fascination with body art and modification, becoming a part-time artist at a tattoo parlor. Despite finding his job incredibly rewarding, he has also sought work in more shady places, associating himself with several prominent Moscow gangs in the process.

  • Raised by a single mother, father died when he and Ilya were very young. Family is originally from the Russian Far East, but are now spread out all over the country.
  • Presented as a man during his time in the gang, fully transistioned in his early 20s. Not on speaking terms with most of his family, including his mother, due to his transition.
  • Covered almost head to toe in tattoos, most of which hold some kind of emotional significance to him. Has a fox tattoo in honor of Ilya and a hyena tattoo in honor of his late friend, Pasha.
  • Blames Sasha for the death of Pasha, another former gang member, because it's easier than coming to terms with the reality.
