Biography

Orelov lived during the late 19^th and early 20^th century and operated mainly in Petrograd, Russia. During his training, he was apprenticed to a more experienced Assassin.

Orelov would have at least one child, as he is the ancestor of Daniel Cross.

Appearance

Orelov 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.

Trivia

• The Russian surname Orelov (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.
