== Summary ==
Nikolai Andreievich "Kolya" Orelov (Russian: Николай Андреевич "Коля" Орелов; Early 19th century – 1928) was a member of the Russian Brotherhood of Assassins during the late 19th and early 20th century. Nikolai was notably involved in events such as the Borki train disaster and the Tunguska explosion, and spearheaded the hunt for the Imperial Sceptre of the Russian royal family.
Nikolai was responsible for several notorious events during his career as an Assassin; in 1888, when tasked with assassinating Tsar Alexander III, the fight that ensued between the two men accidentally caused the Borki train disaster. Twenty years later, in an attempt to retrieve the Imperial Sceptre from a facility in Tunguska, Nikolai's failure to acquire the artifact in time caused the object to explode, as Nikola Tesla broadcast a burst of electricity to it, resulting in a massive explosion that was later known as the Tunguska Event. Eventually he and his family escaped to America, though his wife and daughter were forcibly deported back to Russia, leaving him with his son Innokenti, who would eventually murder him in 1928 to escape pursuing Assassins.
He is also the great-grandfather of Daniel Cross, an individual who would go on to cause the near fall of the Assassin Order generations later.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ (As a fully-fledged Isu-Hybrid and Master Assassin, he should at the very least be on par with the likes of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Fought against a Staff-amped Tsar Alexander III. Later himself got amped by the Staff after Alexander III handed it over to him and both of them fought against each other, though Nikolai was eventually defeated due to the Tsar being more skilled. Somewhat comparable to, but weaker than Princess Anastasia, who was now equal to Shao Jun thanks to having relived the Chinese Assassin's memories via the Precursor box. Can trade blows with those who can harm him), higher with his Hidden Blade, melee weapons and the Staff of Eden. Wall level with his Berdan rifle (Can destroy certain spots of thick tank armor with his rifle pretty easily)
Speed: At least Supersonic+ (Could easily dodge bullets from the Mosin-Nagant, at point-blank range. Outpaced machine-gun fire from tanks. On par with Princess Anastasia, who had inherited the powers of Shao Jun, who could dodge bullets at this speed. Should be comparable to the rest of the Assassins in the series). Supersonic+ attack speed with his Berdan Rifle (His Berdan rifle was heavily modified by his friend the legendary weapons designer Fedor Tokarev to support 7.62x54mmR rounds and keep up with the then-standard Mosin-Nagant rifle)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Wrestled with and fought against a Staff-amped Tsar Alexander III, who easily lifted a massive portion of a wrecked train carriage to save his family, though he was quickly overpowered due to his injuries and due to being far slower and more inexperienced than the Tsar), higher with the Staff of Eden
Striking Strength: At least Small Building level+, higher with the Staff of Eden
Durability: At least Small Building level+, higher with the Staff of Eden (Survived the Borki train disaster with only minor injuries. Seconds later, he took hits from a Staff-amped Tsar Alexander III after being amped by the Staff himself, and though he was defeated, it should be noted that both of them were injured in the Borki train disaster before their real fight began. Can survive high falls which would easily generate this much energy. Can withstand high-caliber bullets for a short period of time. Should be comparable to most other Isu-Hybrids, who can tank attacks on these levels, no-sell energy beams powerful enough to vaporize three human beings and reduce them to a bloody mist at the slightest touch, and trade blows with Olympos Projects)
Stamina: Extremely High (Survived the Borki train disaster without any crippling injuries. Managed to make his way back home after barely surviving the Tunguska incident)
Range: Standard melee range. Extended melee range with his melee weapons and Berdan Rifle's musket. Upto 284 meters with the Berdan Rifle
Standard Equipment: Dual Hidden Blades, Saber, Dagger, smoke bombs, Berdan Rifle, Staff of Eden (temporarily)
Intelligence: Gifted. Could easily infiltrate his former Assassin comrades' headquarters without any prior planning at all and could adapt to its varied security systems at any given time.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses. Was severely traumatized at watching Lenin's brother Aleksandr Ulyanov's execution due to the Lenin brothers being stern friends with Orelov. Became increasingly ruthless and emotionally distant after losing his first child, and this eventually spiraled into him growing old, weary and depressed after witnessing his wife and daughter getting forcibly deported back to Russia and learning that their convoy was ambushed (Unbeknownst to him though, his wife and daughter survived into old age).
Notes: Orelov surviving the Tunguska Event caused by the Imperial Staff of Eden exploding should not be used to scale to his physical durability as it is an outlier via being massively higher than all the durability feats in the series, and despite being only arm's length away from the epicenter of the explosion, Orelov was critically wounded as a result and had he not mustered enough strength to make his way back home to his wife Ana, he would have eventually died.
