Sherkhan

Marquis came from a very good and, at the time, fairly well-off family. He never wanted for anything, yet his family lived in a small town in Siberia. More like an urban-type settlement, actually. From childhood, Marquis studied the violin and knew how to play the piano. His parents were very strict and conservative, living in a private house. Marquis was an excellent student at school, going to the same school as Sherkhan. In short, Marquis was something of a "Golden Boy."

Sherkhan is from the same city as Marquis. His childhood was the complete opposite of Marquis's. His mother and father were alcoholics. Their income was well below average. It's safe to say his family was extremely poor. When Sherkhan was 12, his father went to prison for murdering a neighbor. His parents often beat Sherkhan, to the point of him running away from home. Sherkhan turned to crime at a very early age. He did poorly in school, and his providence was atrocious. He often fought and bullied those weaker than him. He often robbed his classmates and those younger than him. He had a police record. Overall, his childhood was that of a typical crime boss.

His nickname is Shere Khan. A huge man with a scar across half his face and a cold character. He knows neither pity nor mercy. Cruelty has never been a problem for him. Only coldness and calculation. For many years, he has ruled his group, the Yellow Chrysanthemums, with an iron fist. He has no close friends. He never trusts anyone. At first glance, Shere Khan has no weaknesses. But, as we know, he is always deceiving.

On the night of the full moon, Shere Khan transforms into a savage, ferocious, and bloodthirsty monster. He's ready to tear anyone to pieces, and he'll be lucky if he finds an animal carcass next to him in the morning instead of a human one. No one knows this secret. Only the pale moon is his witness.

Sherkhan's deputy is Vsevolod Ernestovich Shvabrin. Nicknamed the Marquis, he's cruel. But he only kills for a reason. Not because of "conscience," but because he's squeamish. The Marquis is cunning, quick-tempered, and resourceful. He's no fool and can always find a way out of a situation, able to negotiate with anyone. He's handsome and tall. He resembles a crystal vase. Tall, yet fragile in appearance, like a crystal vase, and just as beautiful. His short, dark red hair is always combed back, revealing a high forehead and large, doll-like gray eyes. He's graceful and thin. But his thin lips and pointed chin spoil the whole "angel" image. He's narcissistic and arrogant. He looks down on everyone. He considers himself more refined and sophisticated. Which is completely at odds with his cruelty. Their relationship with Tigran is much deeper than just friendship or collaboration. It's not love. It's something between hatred, friendship, love, and an abnormal, wild addiction. But they keep it a secret from everyone else. To everyone else, they're simply an advisor, deputy, and boss.
