During an evening shift, Ioakim’s friends from Noskow would come and visit, which is where Naum would first lay eyes upon Yekaterina Antalovskaya. Naum would instantly spark up a conversation with her, wanting to know more about her, what her interests were, what they had in common. Ioakim and his other friends, Zhutov Kiselev and Iov Vorobev would leave them to be after noticing the obvious crush Naum had on her. Yekaterina wasn’t too interested in him at first, but as the night went on, and closing came closer, she would gain an interest in him, finding Naum charming and funny. As Ioakim’s friends left the café, Yekaterina would offer her phone number, hoping to talk again soon. As the days went on, Naum and Yekaterina would call on a consistent basis, talking about their passion for what they do, with Yekaterina wanting to be a hairstylist. Naum would fully support, and ensure that one day, he would go visit her in Noskow. Whether that be in a few weeks or in the far future, he would give anything up to see her in person again.

During one game, an enemy player would foul him, but it wasn’t called out, causing Naum to get angry and confront the player. He and the opponent would get into a heated argument, and in the heat of the moment, Naum would break his hockey stick over the opponent’s head, with the opponent throwing a punch straight into Naum’s jaw, causing him to lose a tooth, and a fight would break out on the rink. After the fight was broken up, Naum was suspended and he had felt disappointed in himself, feeling as if he had thrown the game for his team. He’d motivate himself to change so he doesn’t ruin his shot at becoming a big shot hockey player like he had always dreamed.

During his suspension, he’d decide to take up a late shift at the café for the extra money. While he was cleaning up the kitchen, the recent hire, Ioakim Ilin, would try to spark up a conversation with Naum. Naum, being angry about his suspension, would brush off Ioakim, but after deciding to listen to him, they would find out they have very similar interests in movies, games, and hobbies, in which they’d instantly become best friends. More often than not, they would have long conversations during the shifts they have together, and would sometimes forget the orders they’d have to do until reminded. Naum and Ioakim would often hang out at lunch or after school, and goof around. Naum would start trying his best to socialize more with the other employees and with some customers. He’d often get sidetracked but the other employees would often keep him in check. Despite not being the brightest tool in the shed, he cheers up the other employees, and brings life to the cafe.

Naum has always loved hockey. Ever since he was 5, he had always aspired to play in the big leagues, wanting to play internationally. Coming from a middle class family, he never really had any major money problems, but he had also never got any luxury items. On rare occasions, after his parents would work overtime, he would be given a pair of ice skates. Although they weren’t the best as they were a slightly used pair, Naum had appreciated it. When he went to school, he joined an ice skating club. Not wanting to damage his own personal pair, he would start using old ice skates provided by the parents from previous students. Naum would flourish in the ice skating club, becoming one of the most talented members of it, but his love of ice skating had distracted him from focusing on his grades, and he’d start to fail. Naum would stop going to ice skating club to focus on his grades, and he would graduate high school with the bare minimum amount of marks to get him into college.
After graduating, Naum would go on a break for a few years to find a job and apply to numerous colleges. He would eventually land a job interview at The Pages Café, and he would be accepted into his local college a few days later. After arriving, he would find out the college had a hockey team, and he’d start focusing on his work, hoping that his grades would help him get a leading role on the team. On the day of tryouts, he’d excel in all the trials, and because of his previous experience ice skating, he was able to score a spot on the team. He would come home cheering and boasting to his parents about it, being proud of himself, and further boosting his ego. Naum would often trash talk other players, getting too cocky on occasion.

Naum has a short dark brown middle part. His appearance in The Pages Café consists of a blue hockey jersey with his last name on the back, with white and black detailing, and the number 61 on the sleeves and back and the letter B at the front, which is covered by his apron with "Кафе «Страницы»" (Café "Pages") written on the front. He also wears black pants that are rolled up to his shins, and grey ankle socks with light grey shoes. One front tooth is missing.

Naum tries his best to seem tough, trash talking opponents and those he doesn’t like, but with those close to him, he’s dimwitted and does his best to be positive, often doing his best to get a laugh or two out of someone, whether it be a stupid joke, or a stupid action. He’ll say a backhanded compliment every now and then, and sometimes he’ll do something that makes it seem like there’s ill intent behind it, but he means well. Atleast most of the time.
