Description
Oleg Mirnov is a broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a weathered face framed by a thick black beard streaked with grey. His deep-set eyes are a piercing blue, always watchful and measuring those he meets. He wears heavy furs and wool, practical clothing for Frostwell Village’s harsh climate, and carries himself with the quiet authority of a village elder.
Story
When Caoimhe Keelan, Finlay Figgins, Otto Noxley, and Callum Vane emerged from a portal into the frozen wilderness, they encountered Oleg gathering herbs. Though he saw through their lies about being separated from a field trip, he insisted they return to Frostwell Village to warm up.
Oleg spoke of an ancient prophecy and the Circle of Eight—obelisks his family had guarded for four hundred years. His daughter Katya protested his sudden willingness to share sacred secrets with strangers, but Oleg seemed convinced these children were the ones foretold.
The moment they solved the Circle’s puzzle and descended into the ancient dungeon, Oleg revealed his true nature. He shouted “Petrificus Totalus,” freezing Caoimhe and Finlay, then sprinted into the darkness with unnatural speed. In the Ring Chamber, he grabbed a floating ring and put it on—then writhed in agony as his form shifted uncontrollably through different faces. The ring slipped off a missing finger, and Oleg collapsed in an unfamiliar body before disapparating away.
The man who led them here was an imposter. What happened to the real Oleg—and who this shapeshifter truly is—remains a terrifying mystery.
