Nikolay was an orphan raised in the House of the Hearth, an orphanage run by the Harbinger Arlecchino, alongside his sister Katarina. He was presumably also familiar with Lyudochka Snezhevna, a fellow orphan raised at the House of the Hearth and whom Katarina describes as someone who was "even dearer than a real sister" to her.
==Story==
Sometime before the Ninth Company's deployment to The Chasm, Katarina was transferred into the regiment. Upon learning the news, Nikolay wrote her a letter expressing his joy at being reunited with her. Katarina kept this letter on her person up until her disappearance and presumed death in search of him.
During their investigation of The Chasm, the Ninth Company faced disastrous results. Many soldiers became casualties of the Abyss monsters, and the Mokosh Device, which was designed to absorb Abyssal corruption, was and destroyed. The team that encountered the Chasm Nail and attempted to break the Abyss' hold over the Nail inadvertently awoke the Ruin Serpent known as Haftvad the Worm and were forced to hastily retreat after incurring significant losses.
In the chaos, Nikolay used himself as bait to lure away a group of enemies away from his squad and disappeared. While Staff Sergeant Anton believed he was a lost cause, Katarina refused to give up on finding her brother and stayed behind in the depths of The Chasm while Anton's group moved back up to the main mining area. However, Katarina got lost and set up camp in The Glowing Narrows, where the Traveler and Paimon eventually found her.
At Katarina's behest, the Traveler searched for Nikolay, but only found fragments of his diary. The last fragment they found recounts his severe leg wound and ends with his discovery by a Shadowy Husk, with his final words an acknowledgement of his impending doom and an apology to Katarina. The path the Traveler found was blocked off by fallen rock, preventing them from investigating further, so they brought back his diary fragments to Katarina. She decides to investigate his last known location herself, but when the Traveler arrives, Katarina is nowhere to be seen while his treasured letter lies abandoned on the ground.
