Mitrov Stroganov

ミトロフ・ストロガノフ

Age: 37
Gender: Male
Occupation: Sailor

One of the head sailors on the steamship Alaclear. Witness of DGS-2.

Personality: Mitrov is blunt and easily angered, and takes his job extremely seriously. While he does have a soft spot for those close to him, he tends not to show it.

Misc Facts: Those are tan lines on his face, not tattoos.

Friends and Family: None known.

Spoiler: DGS-2
Friend of Nikomina and owner of the snake Piroshko.


Name Origin:
Japanese: From "meatloaf stroganoff", matching Dmitri and Nikomina's names.

Spoiler: DGS-2
"Piroshko" comes from piroshki, a Russian meat bun. The suffix -ko is usually used for females. (Thanks Ash/Rubio)


Background: Mitrov has been a sailor on the Alaclear for several years, and while he's far from being captain, he's well-respected by his crew.

Spoiler: DGS-2
Mitrov was one of the sailors to befriend Nikomina when she and her troupe began performing for the ship a few years before DGS. When Niko contacted them to ask for help in escaping Russia, Mitrov took charge and came up with a plan: they would drug the passengers and part of the crew during the night, then bring Niko aboard and have her disguise herself for the rest of the journey.


Grimesby Roylott

グリムズビー・ロイロット

Age: ??
Gender: Male
Occupation: Unknown

A secretive old man traveling aboard the steamship Alaclear. Witness of DGS-2.

Personality: Roylott is stubborn and secretive, refusing to talk to anyone unless they're able to drive him into a corner first.

Misc Facts: Holmes thinks he bears a resemblance to Dmitri Demiglaski. Literally everyone else disagrees.

Roylott was one of the first characters developed for DGS; he was presented alongside Ryuunosuke and Holmes as part of Takumi's pitch for the game, then in a state no more developed than "a Russian man hiding something from the duo."

Friends and Family: Unknown.

Name Origin:
Japanese: Taken directly from the Holmes canon, though the Grimesby Roylott there was a significantly different character.

Spoiler: DGS-2
However, in both Holmes canon and here, Roylott is indeed the culprit, making this a suitable alias for Nikomina.


Background: Largely unknown. Roylott seems to have arrived on the ship without Ryuunosuke noticing, but refuses to explain how or why.

Spoiler: DGS-2
He's actually just a cover for Nikomina. See her character profile for details.


Nikomina Borschevitch

ニコミナ・ボルシビッチ

Age: 15
Gender: Female
Occupation: Ballet dancer

A young ballet dancer who recently fled Russia and is traveling aboard the Alaclear. Witness of DGS-2.

Personality: Nikomina is timid and a bit paranoid after her escape from Russia, and as such views most everyone with suspicion, particularly Ryuu. It doesn't take very long talking to her to realize that she's entirely out of her depth.

Misc Facts: She's known as a 'fairy' of the Russian ballet.

Friends and Family: Unknown.

Spoiler: DGS-2
Has a pet cat, Kuroppoi ("Blacky"), and is friend to most of the sailors on the Alaclear.


Name Origin:
Japanese: Her first name comes from "nikomi", meaning stew (matching Dmitri and Mitrov). Her last name appears to be drawn from "borscht" and "Bolshevik".

Background: Nikomina is a world-famous ballerina known for her performances with the Novovic Ballet, a famous Russian troupe. However, shortly before DGS-2, she fled the country and boarded the Alaclear to make her way to America.

Spoiler: DGS-2
Nikomina isn't just on the Alaclear by chance - she befriended the crew some time ago when her troupe was performing there. When she decided to get out of Russia (with an extremely valuable tiara in hand), she asked them to help her escape, and they agreed.


Dmitri Demiglaski

デミトリ・デミグラスキー

Age: ??
Gender: Male
Occupation: Revolutionary

A Russian revolutionary said to have recently fled the country, and a background character in DGS.

Personality: Apparently surprisingly down-to-earth for a revolutionary and actually quite accomodating, particularly when the subject involves bullets or rebellions.

Misc Facts: Holmes accuses several people of being Dmitri throughout DGS-2. None of them look remotely like him.

Friends and Family: Unknown.

Name Origin:
Japanese: From "demi-glace", matching Nikomina and Mitrov's surnames.

Background: Dmitri is a vicious revolutionary said to have killed dozens before fleeing Russia shortly before DGS-2. His whereabouts are currently unknown, but rumor has it he's traveling to London to bomb the Crystal Tower there.
