In the manhwa "Champagne and Roses," Dmitry Sergeev (Tyutchev) possesses a commanding, masculine appearance and style of dress that fully reflect his status as a former operative and right-hand man to the head of a mafia clan. He is a tall, broad-shouldered man with a powerful, athletic build, whose physical appearance at first glance conveys the hidden menace and strength of a professional fighter. He has strong, sharp features, short-cropped dark brown hair, and a penetrating gaze, in which cool composure is often combined with a touch of irony. In his choice of clothing, Dmitry strictly adheres to elegant mafia classics and businesslike pragmatism: his wardrobe consists of expensive, perfectly tailored two- and three-piece suits, predominantly in dark shades—black, deep gray, or navy blue. He completes his look with formal, solid-color shirts and ties. Despite the high-society glitz, his clothes are always chosen with maximum practicality in mind, so as not to restrict movement in the event of a sudden fight or the need to draw a weapon. In rare moments of informality or during tactical missions, Dmitry swaps suits for simple black turtlenecks, shirts with the top buttons undone, or formal long coats, consciously opting for a restrained style that, unlike Caesar's ostentatious luxury, emphasizes his discipline, mature charm, and absolute self-confidence.

The relationship between Caesar and Dmitry in the manhwa "Champagne and Roses" (Sh&R) goes far beyond the classic "boss and bodyguard" trope, as they are cousins ​​and have experienced the harsh realities of the criminal underworld together. As a former intelligence operative, Dmitry acts not simply as a shield but as the chief security strategist and the only person in the syndicate Caesar completely trusts, allowing him to speak to him as an equal and even mock his behavior. Due to their paranoid fear of assassination attempts by the Lomonosov clan, Caesar and Dmitry have special GPS chips and vital sign trackers implanted in their bodies. This technological solution allows Dmitry to track Caesar's location and pulse in real time, allowing him to instantly dispatch an assault team if the "Tsar" finds himself in mortal danger. Dmitry initially views Caesar's affair with Lee Won with strong skepticism and pragmatism, viewing the stubborn lawyer as a dangerous toy who provokes his boss into risky business decisions. However, seeing Caesar's growing obsession, Dmitry changes tactics and becomes a kind of mediator: he begins to respect Lee Won for his steadfastness, often acts as the couple's "voice of reason," offers the lawyer advice on taming the impulsive mafioso, and does everything he can to keep their destructive relationship from collapsing.
He also owns his own elite club in Moscow.

Vladimir (Mikhail) Lomonosov: The head of a rival mafia clan and the story's main antagonist. A cunning and ruthless strategist, his key role in the plot is revealed through the shocking fact that he is Lee Won's biological father, turning the gang war with Caesar into a deeply personal drama. Georg Zhdanov: A corrupt city councilman and official. He uses Caesar's mafia protection to carry out illegal corporate raids and enrich himself. It is his criminal machinations that bring Lee Won into the criminal underworld. Nikolai: An ordinary worker, the owner of a small factory, and Lee Won's client. He is in dire straits due to pressure from Zhdanov. His protection becomes Lee Won's primary motivation for engaging in a dangerous game with the mafia.

Jeong Lee Won is a principled, proud, and fearless lawyer of Korean descent working in Moscow. He possesses a keen sense of justice, a stubborn character, and never backs down from danger, even when it comes to physical threats to his life from the mafia.
Caesar Alexandrovich Sergeev is a charismatic, cruel, and powerful heir to the Russian mafia's ranks. He is manipulative and selfish, accustomed to exerting complete control over those around him. He tolerates no rejection, and initially views Lee Won as nothing more than an interesting but recalcitrant "toy." But he soon comes to appreciate and almost obsessively love Lee Won.

In the criminal underworld of the manhwa "Champagne and Roses" (Sh&R), the balance of power is held by the following key criminal groups:
The Sergeev Clan ("The Family"): The most powerful syndicate in Russia. It wields colossal influence, controls major businesses, and bribes officials (including Deputy Zhdanov). It is headed by the old boss (Caesar's father), and his direct successor is the ruthless and powerful Caesar Alexandrovich Sergeev. The organization's main support is a strict hierarchy, loyal operatives, and Caesar's right-hand man, Dmitry.
The Lomonosov Group: The Sergeev family's sworn enemies and main rivals for influence in Moscow. The clan is led by the dangerous and cunning crime boss Vladimir Lomonosov. They wage an ongoing shadow war, orchestrating assassination attempts on Caesar. A deeply personal and shocking detail is later revealed: Lomonosov is the biological father of lawyer Jeong Lee Won, a fact the mafia exploits in their schemes.
Mikhailov's (Mikhailov's) Group: A smaller, but more ruthless faction operating in the underworld. It periodically enters into opportunistic alliances or conflicts with major players, attempting to secure its share of the redistribution of spheres of influence in the capital.
Small-time organized crime groups and corporate raider "roofs": Disparate criminal groups of enforcers who carry out dirty work on the ground—intimidating small business owners, forcibly seizing enterprises (as in the case of Nikolai's plant), and providing physical cover for corrupt politicians.
