Melvin/pre-remake

Melvin Orlov is a character that appears in chapters 1 and 3 of The Ideal Game's pre-remake canon. In Chapter 3, he would be important to Sator and the player in order to advance into deeper layers.
== Appearance ==
His appearances throughout the game is split into 2.
In layer 2, he has messy brown wavy hair, a beard, and wears what seems to be a hazmat suit to protect himself from the radioactive. In layer 4, he has a balding white hair, fully grown beard, wears a casual blue shirt, and a black pants.
== Coverage ==
In the facility, if the player tries to interact with Melvin, he makes an assumption that they're going to be putting him down without checking who was interacting. When he looks at the player, he looks confused and requests them to take the utility knife which they mistook it as killing him, which ends up making Melvin dead.
He is seen again in Layer 4, sleeping in a diner only to jumpscare the player after they try to wake him up. Sator then tells his backstory of their journey in an way to negotiate with Melvin to help find a way to go into the next layer. Melvin then leads the player and Sator to go into a room below the diner that secretly has a particle collider, the key to the next layer where he wears a hazmat suit and starts the collider.
== Trivia ==
*His last name, Orlov was confirmed by gwig in an alternate reality game.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rAUXQipiGYIoNyuViRMElpSxh0-k_n0tdEH4EPQKAiQ/ (WARNING: unsettling images are present, read at your own risk!)
**It is also noted that Exper. in his ID card is short for Experiments.
*It is not mandatory for the player to kill Melvin as he can actually be spared because the game does not force them to do it to continue the chapter.
**Additionally, you can trade the utility knife with Kered if you went to Ganzfeld, though you will still get the same result.
