Nikolai Orelov
Nikolai Orelov was an Assassin who lived during the Russian Revolution. He is the main character of the new Assassin's Creed comic book mini-series. There will be three issues, each one concentrating on different periods of Orelov's life: as an apprentice Assassin, as a Master Assassin and as a veteran Assassin. The name Orelov comes from the russian word for EAGLE, particullary OREL. However it is incorrectly derived from it, the proper russian form being Orlov. Orelov is instead a slovenian surname.
