* {{Foil}}: To fellow Assassin turncoat [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue Shay Cormac]]. Like Shay, one of the reasons Nikolai leaves the Assassins was because of them being no different than the Templar in their methods, especially during the Russian Revolution and end up killing many of his former brother-in-arms.

* ResignationsNotAccepted: The Russian Assassins were not pleased when he left them, and eventually sent several Assassins to hunt him down and bring him back to answer some questions. Though since he witnessed a message from the First Civilization and does not tell this to anyone, and steals a Piece of Eden for personal use, he's not entirely blameless for stroking the paranoia of his brothers.
