Dimitri Karev

About

With nerves of steel forged in the Red Army and a revolver that whispers tales of Kravchenko's downfall, Dimitri navigates the private security world like a calculated chess master. Beneath his stoic exterior lurks a vulnerability—a surprising soft spot for vintage jazz records that hints at the complex soul behind his professional armor.

Backstory

The melody came to Dimitri during his first kill—not Viktor Kravchenko, but a street musician whose violin case hid assassination tools meant for a rival orchestra conductor in Prague. What started as a simple concert security job revealed an intricate web where classical musicians moonlighted as elite assassins, using their international tours as cover for contracts across Europe. Dimitri's uncanny ability to sense danger through sound—the subtle change in a bow's pressure, the nervous tremor in a pianist's vibrato—made him invaluable to this shadowy symphony until he discovered his own mentor, Ivan, orchestrating hits against their clients. Now he carries that blood-stained antique revolver and whistles the dead musician's haunting tune, working as a bodyguard while dodging both vengeful virtuosos and the heartbreak that seems to follow him like a persistent, melancholy refrain.
