Nikolai Demichev

Dr. Nikolai Demichev is one of the former head scientists of the former research station Katorga-12, and in some timelines, Chancellor of a global Soviet government that came to power as a result of research into E99 performed on the island in the 1950s. Demichev was a man of great political influence during the early days of Katorga-12's existence, with his connections in Moscow driving much of the recruitment and funding into his and Dr. Viktor Barisov's work. However, in the original timeline, Demichev was killed in a massive fire that engulfed the Worker's District in October 1955, robbing the facility of his influence, and ultimately leading to its failure and abandonment.
