Mikhail Smirnov

"...We've been forced into a situation where death is the only option. There's nothing I of all people can do about that..."

Mikhail's most defining trait is his lack of concern regarding the concept of death. He has accepted his fate since arriving at the castle, and has no interest in living through the competition.

He presents himself as a quiet and thoughtful person, one whose cynical nature leads him to distance himself from those outside of his set circle, though he possesses a deep understanding of others' emotions. In his eyes, genuine goodness is not about strictly following a set moral code, but instead considering the needs and wants of every individual.

He is an exceptional musician with considerable fame, and demonstrates a vast amount of knowledge on many subjects, but he largely stays out of debates and discussions due to his general disinterest in the rest of the Court.
