Nikolai

Nikolai Karimov (Russian: Николай Каримов), simply known as Nikolai or Enchanter One, is one of the two main protagonists of The Crown's Game. A half-Russian, half-Kazakh orphan from the steppes of Central Asia, he is the son of the faith healer Aizhana and Tsar Alexander and one of the two Enchanters of Russia. As of the end of The Crown's Game, he was assumed to be deceased, but is alive as a shadow in one of his dream benches.

Quotes
"'I was lost from the movement I saw you on Ovchinin Island. It took a long while for me to realize it, but it's true. I've spent my entire life scrambling to fit in and ti change myself,Vika, but where I've belonged, and who I needed to be, has been right here the whole time. I love you.'""— Nikolai to Vika in The Crown's Game"
