Biography[]
Shadow and Bone[]
After they see a pretty Grisha girl go by with the Darkling's entourage, Mikhael nudges Mal and they make suggestive commentary about Mal's chances with her. He calls Alina Starkov by her hated nickname, "Sticks", but otherwise ignores her. Later that night, he and his friend Dubrov pass a bottle of kvas back and forth.[1] Dubrov traveled into the Shadow Fold with Mal, Mikhael, and Alina Starkov. He survives the crossing attempt, and supports an injured Mal as they emerged.[2]
Months later, after Alina has escaped from Os Alta and met up with Mal, he tells her that Mikhael and Dubrov had been a part of the tracking party that the Darkling ordered to seek Morozova's stag. During the mission, their commander had the idea of sending people over the Fjerdan border to continue the hunt. Mal volunteered, and Mikhael and Dubrov followed suit. Although Mal survived, Dubrov and Mikhael were killed by the Fjerdans when his unit tried to escape their borders back to Ravka, along with six other volunteers.[3]
