The Conductor, alongside his trusted confidant Mischa, of The Ubiystvo Express. He doesn’t remember much of his old life. Bits and pieces here and there do randomly come to him, fragmented. He doesn’t pay much mind to them. He wouldn’t want to leave the train anyway.

Niko is a sweet and talkative fellow. However, his overbearing friendliness and intense, uncanny stare is still often rather off putting to the train’s passengers. He means well, and is simply trying to get you where you need to be!

Just keep things tidy. Mind your manners. Show some respect, will you?  Dont make too much of a ruckus, or dear sweet Niko may just take the responsibility of settling you down into his own hands.

Fun Facts:
- He really likes birds!

- He can play the violin.

- He says he sleeps, but uh. He doesn’t. Sometimes he just lays in a bed of one of the sleeper cars and stares at the ceiling for a bit. Somehow that’s “sleeping” to him.

- He eats things he SHOULD NOT BE EATING but for very specific weird reasons. He once ate the teabag from a passenger’s tea he’d just made because he felt like it would “go to waste” otherwise.

Design Notes:

- The stitches along his arm and neck always look only half healed. They’re still stitched up, unlike Mischa’s healed surgical scars.

- It’s rare to see him NOT smiling.

- You can draw him with or without the conductors hat I don’t rlly care

- He can remove his head! It’s gross.
