Hunt with the Executor | Konstantin Nikolov-Hartlin (2/5)

Konstantin Nikolov-Hartlin is man of Russian descent, brought into the German Hartlin Clan due to his distant heritage. He wears the Hartlin Executor Uniform with his own personal touch: a black leather coat, black tricorn hat, leather gloves, black pants, heavy boots, and a black cloak on top of his coat. Konstantin is 36 years old. Like all Hartlin Executors, he has white hair and sky blue eyes.

Konstantin is famous in the Hartlin Clan, even more than some of the other Legion Commanders due to a combination of his renown of soloing hunts and his overly friendly nature. He's constantly in action, rarely seen taking a break and always eager for the next fight. He's always seen in a positive mood and a friendly attitude, regardless of whether its a human he has to protect or a monster he will kill. He likes to crack jokes and maintain a carefree attitude to not concern the Hartlins underneath him. He's regarded as a dependable and likable person admired for his strength by the other Executors, who all look up and strive to one day reach his potential. He eagerly plays along, giving them hope.

However like all Hartlin Executors, he suffers from immense trauma born from the harsh training of the Executors. While not as idealistic as Lorelai, Konstantin wants a world where people can live happy. He hunts monsters because they threaten humanity and because its all he knows how to do, as despite all his skill as a hunter he is pitiful in doing other things like cooking and cleaning. If the opportunity presented a chance for peace to exist without murder, he'd gladly take it. But until then, he'll keep doing what he does best against the things that threaten everyone. He often does his own research to make sure what he's hunting is truly evil, before eliminating it without hesitation. He does not offer second chances to the ones he hunts, because if he's coming after them it was already too late to turn back.

Konstantin carries a short sword and a hatchet, made out of a special material specifically designed to hunt monsters. When he needs more power, he can place the sword into the hatchet's hilt, extending it to form a two-handed axe. He's considered the physically strongest hunter amongst the Hartlins, and is capable of grappling with monsters. Despite knowing the basics of magic, he doesn't use it and prefers to use physical strength.

Raised within the ruthless Hartlin Clan, Konstantin underwent the same brutal training all Executors endure. Children are taught the basics of survival before being thrust into a lethal trial—an unaided hunt with a survival rate below 50%. Konstantin not only survived, he became the top of his generation. But by the time he was 15, almost everyone in his generation had died already.

Each Legion Commander has earned their place through blood and sacrifice. Konstantin became a legion commander at the age of 26 after becoming the sole survivor of his group 3 seperate times, and then completing the hunts on his own. A feat unheard of by most outside of the Legion Commanders.

Anselm Hartlin, Ward: The leader of the Executor Faction. Konstantin's mentor after he became a Legion Commander himself. Anselm is wise and unflinching. He taught Konstantin to embrace hope instead of hate. He's the oldest living Executor, with the experiments extending his life. He protects humanity and bears no hatred for monsters despite the prejudice of younger Executors. The first Legion Commander.

Elias Hartlin, Chancellor: A warm man to humans with a personal hatred of monsters. He wears a smile and helps humanity every chance he can, but to monsters he is ruthless and merciless. Konstantin is often offput by his ruthless nature, but the two know each other's capabilities, respect their love for humans, and trust their skills in a hunt. The Second Legion Commander.

Sophelia Kolletis-Hartlin, Dawn: A pessimistic, stoic and reserved figure and the only full-blooded vampire in the Hartlin. She exclusively hunts her own kind and hates monsters despite being one. Konstantin often tries to joke around with her, but she doesn't take kindly to it and often pushes him away. Konstantin has a crush on her, and he doesn't try to hide it. She doesn't reciprocate, but beneath the surface she does enjoy it. Her unique magic creates a burst of light that burns monsters, including herself when using it. The Third Legion Commander.

Lorelai Hartlin, Agate: The youngest to have become a Legion Commander, Lorelai is outwardly confident and teasing, often acting like an older sister to her comrades. Despite this, Lorelai hides a deeply scarred soul beneath her ever-present smile. While idealistic in theory, she is a pragmatist shaped by war and trauma, offering mercy only when it serves a calculated purpose. Though seen as more open-minded than her peers, she remains ruthless in protecting humanity, killing without hesitation if she deems a threat too great. Her unique magic allows her to transmute stone into radiant agate crystals for offense or defense, though the power is tightly bound to her emotional control. Lorelai and Konstantin are close friends who keep the other in check, due to both being trained under Anselm together despite their age difference. The Fifth Legion Commander.

Konstantin has no end goal. He just wants to protect the people close to him and honor their dead.
