Nikolai Orlov (Russian: Николай Орлов) was a Russian Assassin who lived during the late 19th and early 20th century.[1]
He is the protagonist of the upcoming comic entitled Assassin's Creed: The Fall. There will be three issues, each one concentrating on different periods of Orlov's life: as an apprentice Assassin, as a Master Assassin and as a veteran Assassin.
Biography
Orlov lived during the late 19th and early 20th century and operated mainly in Petrograd, Russia. During his training, he was apprenticed to a more experienced Assassin.[1]
Orlov would have at least one child, as he was the ancestor of the modern-day Daniel Cross.[1]
Appearance
Orlov wore a large fur coat with the traditional Assassin's hood. He wielded one Hidden Blade, a dagger, a sabre and a rifle. He wore a sash and a baldric with the Assassins' emblem on it.[1]
Trivia
- The Russian surname Orlov (Орлов) means "сын орла" (syn orla), or "son of oryol," where "oryol" means "eagle." It could also come from Orel, which is Czech, Slovenian and Bulgarian for "eagle." This is in continuation of the series' tradition of referencing the protagonist's name to that of the eagle in the Assassin's native language, or some derivation.
- Nikolai's surname was initially "Orelov," which was a mistake, as there is no surname like this in Russia. It was misinterpreted from the surname "Orlov," which came from the Russian word "орёл" or "eagle." After this was explained to Canadian artist and writer of the comic Karl Kerschl (http://twitter.com/karlkerschl) by Russian game designer and writer Kirill Yarovoy (http://twitter.com/v00d00m4n), Orelov was renamed Orlov.
- In a newer interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf7fzKziIjk) with another comic artist and writer Cameron Stewart (http://twitter.com/cameronMstewart), he claims to already pronounce the surname as "Orlov" instead of the initial "Orelov."
