Arseny Sergeyevich

Arseniy specializes in "borderline" creatures—those whose existence hovers between legend and possible reality. His research focuses on:

The cryptids of the northern latitudes are mysterious large predators, described by locals as something between a wolf and a bear, but larger and more cunning than any known species.

Aquatic anomalies are unknown, large life forms found in poorly studied lakes and rivers that leave strange traces and alter the behavior of normal fauna around them.

Paranormal fauna are creatures whose appearance is associated with certain geomagnetic anomalies; he doesn't believe in magic, but he does believe in things that science can't yet explain.

His approach isn't to collect folklore, but to seek physical evidence: hair, footprints, DNA, thermograms, drone footage. He despises "ghost hunters" and believes cryptozoology should become a rigorous science, not a pastime. [From the author: I hope Dima Maslennikov will forgive me]

Cold, confident, and stern. Arseniy wastes no time on idle talk and tolerates no doubt in his decisions. His confidence borders on arrogance, and his cruelty manifests not in hysterics but in ruthless logic: if proving a being's existence requires sacrificing comfort, time, or the expectations of others, he will do so without hesitation. For him, science is a battlefield where emotions only get in the way. He doesn't gloat or revel in power—he simply doesn't consider others' experiences sufficient grounds for veering from his path.

Tall and trim, he carries himself as if the world must obey him. His dark, short hair is neatly styled, without a single strand out of place—as if he can keep even chaos under control. The main thing that catches your eye is his cold blue eyes: there's no curiosity or warmth in them, only calculation and readiness for any turn of events. He dresses practically: thick jackets, comfortable trousers, and gloves without unnecessary details. This look eschews any desire to please—only functionality and mastery of circumstances.
