Tolia

The free stalker is a novice from the Cordon, who is in the group of the Nimble.
As part of the group (which included another newcomer besides him and Nimble) He was sent by Sidorovich on a mission to spy on the military at the Agroprom Research Institute. According to the contents of Shustrogo's flash drive, the group participated in hostilities with bandits and the military and learned that the military had found documents with some important information that could help the trader in uncovering the way to the north.
Returning from a sortie, the group was attacked by bandits near the camp near the trailer. As a result of the shootout, one novice was killed, Tolik was wounded and pretended to be dead, and Nimble, in order not to be killed, told the bandits about the cache with a "bunch of artifacts", so the bandits did not kill him and sent one bandit to check the cache, and Nimble was captured.
The main character passing by (stalker) can help Tolik by sharing a first aid kit. He will thank the protagonist for saving him, become his friend and promise to inform other stalkers about the help provided. He can also tell about the history of the attack on their group, and if the stalker offers Tolik to go with him to storm the ATP, he will kindly refuse, saying that he is a fighter now, "like a footcloth." After that, Tolik will head to the village of beginners and will sleep in the northwestern ruined house until the end of the game.
he is not quite talkative and slightly harsh in his tone of communication, but he is not hostile either
