Yuri Bragin is an investigator with the Investigative Committee of Russia, working in the First Investigative Department of the First Directorate of the Main Investigative Directorate. He is considered one of the most experienced and professional members of the department, capable of handling particularly complex and high-profile cases. Bragin is regularly sent on assignments that require an informal approach, attention to detail, and the ability to build investigations practically from scratch. Shibanov is his best friend.

Light brown-golden curly hair, blue eyes. A good friend, partner, boss, father, and as a person too. Kind. A loving father. Mikhail Shibanov is Yuri Bragin's right-hand man and best friend, his constant partner and ally in investigating the most complex and dangerous crimes. He works as an operative and is most often responsible for the "field" portion of the work: field trips, arrests, surveillance, and witness interactions. Shibanov is distinguished by his fearlessness, decisiveness, and willingness to act in the most risky situations. Where Bragin meticulously constructs the logic of the investigation, Mikhail takes on the practical side of the matter, making their partnership particularly effective. He is mutually devoted to his partner and has repeatedly proven his willingness to risk himself for the sake of the overall outcome.
