* FatalFlaw: His {{Pride}}. Dmitri takes pride of the Wall's 50 years streak with no incidents under his leadership, so he assumes Henry can't escape (which the audience knows is very, very wrong). His pride being shattered by Henry's and Ellie's escape also leads to [[spoiler:his and Grigori's death.]]

* See his page [[Characters/HenryStickminSeriesDmitriJohannesPetrov here]].

to:

* See AccidentalHero: In [[spoiler:Presumed Dead]], where him pushing the truck Henry is in off the ledge helps the latter fake his page [[Characters/HenryStickminSeriesDmitriJohannesPetrov here]].death by hanging onto the side and fleeing after they leave.
* AmbiguousSituation: He claims that his prison complex holds some of the most cunning and notorious criminals, but their bios mostly point to them either being {{Harmless Villain}}s or innocent people wrongfully locked up. The reason for his lying is never explained, though it could be that Dmitri has a AllCrimesAreEqual mindset and/or doesn't care about who he imprisons as long as it'll guarantee him getting a good reputation.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He certainly looks and acts sinister, although his job is to keep criminals like Henry locked up. Then again, the Wall's methods are rather gulag-like.
** The ''International Rescue Operative'' ending is easily the one that throws his morality most into question. Presumably, it follows the ''Airship'' endings where Henry allies with the government, and is pardoned for his crimes. Unless Henry got into some shenanigans off-screen, this could very well mean the Warden ignored Henry's pardon and locked him up anyway. Worse yet, the route shows that the Wall's soldiers are willing to fire on Government agents to stop convicts.
** Taken even further in ''Mission'', where his forces don't hesitate to attack both the Government ''and'' the Toppat Clan during the stand-off between the two factions in order to recapture Henry and Ellie. Really shows he isn't all that ambiguous.
** Further emphasised by the fact that Gastro the Toilet Wizard is seen as a prisoner at the Wall in ''Convict Allies'', and in the ''Bounty/Rescue'' path of ''Mission'', Gastro is seen as one of Henry's bounty targets in the ending screen, implying that the Government is completely unaware that Gastro has already been apprehended by the Wall. It seems as though Dmitri has been going behind the back of foreign governments to apprehend potentially pardoned criminals long before he went after Henry.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Dmitri's desire to have a great reputation as a warden drives him to do whatever it takes to imprison people, even if it's unwarranted.
* ArcVillain: Dmitri's only appearance in ''Mission'' is in the [[spoiler:''Thief/Allies'']] route.
* ArchEnemy: Becomes this to Henry and Ellie in [[spoiler:Thief/Allies]], deadset on capturing them and getting revenge.
* AssholeVictim: With his cruelty and illegal actions, [[spoiler:Dmitri's death in Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits comes off as very justified]].
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Him sending a couple of tanks in the middle of a warzone just to catch two escaped convicts qualifies him for this]].
* BadBoss: At the end of the Charge Tackle route, he callously tells his guards to get back to work and that he's cutting everyone's checks, while ignoring the guards that were killed/injured by Henry over the course of the route.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:If all fails are canon going by the OmegaEnding, then the surrender option in the Charge Tackle route of Complex is this for Dmitri, as he manages to get Henry to go back to the Wall in maximum security via a SadisticChoice]].
* BadassBoast: The way he describes the Wall to Henry in his introduction.
* BeardOfEvil: He has a pretty impressive beard (with mustache!) and serves as the primary antagonist of ''Complex''.
* BigBad: Of ''Fleeing the Complex'' and the [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits''/''Pardoned Pals'']] endings of ''Mission''.
* BigOlEyebrows: He's the one of the few main characters to have this, along with Right Hand Man and Galeforce.
* BondVillainStupidity: Downplayed, as he never exactly leaves anyone to die in a trap.
** [[spoiler:At the climax of the ''Presumed Dead'' ending, he slowly goes on and on about how Henry has two choices, instead of immediately pushing the truck over the cliff or telling his men to arrest Henry. This gives Henry time to grab onto the cliff face and, as soon as Dmitri assumes Henry is dead and heads back to the Wall, to pull himself up and escape.]]
** [[spoiler:The ending of ''Convict Allies'' has him pin down Henry, but instead of immediately taking him to a cell, he instead rants about Henry regretting causing the PrisonRiot, allowing Ellie to come in and knock Dmitri out, then her and Henry escape]].
** [[spoiler:At the climax of the ''Toppat Recruits'' ending, he rants about his revenge on Henry (and his ruined reputation) instead of just throwing Henry off the rocket. As a result, Henry recovers enough to dodge Dmitri's punch and toss ''him'' off the rocket to his death.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Grigori's Brawn. He's the one who calls the shots and gets Grigori to act on them.
* BreakTheHaughty: We see the impact that the aftereffects of Henry and Ellie's escape on him from the ''Convict Allies'' ending had on him in the ''Thief/Allies'' route of ''Mission'': he lost some teeth (because of which he speaks with a prominent lisp now) and, based on what he mentions, his reputation as a warden was ruined. He becomes very vengeful and destructive for Henry and Ellie as a result.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: His only appearance in ''Mission'' suggests that he left the Wall as it is after the prison riot and went after Henry and Ellie, likely leaving a lot of his employees struggling with the aftermath while he was focused on something else.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: [[spoiler:In ''Toppat Recruits'', him slugging Ellie in the back of the head just ''once'' was enough to give her a concussion, while simultaneously being able to get Henry in a chokehold. And this is ''after'' Henry and Ellie [[MadeOfIron peppered him with bullets]] and shot one of his {{eye|scream}}s out.]]
* TheComicallySerious:
** [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome The lisp that he speaks with]] in ''Mission'' as a result of Ellie smacking him with a stop sign in ''Complex'' is the only thing comical about him.
** Also the facial expression he has after getting smacked with said stop sign is ridiculously cartoonish.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Reginald in ''Airship''. Both of them are the leaders of their respective antagonistic factions in each game, but whereas Reginald is a younger, more cowardly character, Dmitri is an elder who's pretty much unafraid of going into the battlefield himself. Also, Reginald is an AffablyEvil NobleDemon who cares about the Toppats as people, while Dmitri is a BadBoss who cares little for his employees and only wants to uphold the Wall's status and satisfy its needs as a whole institution, as well as his personal reputation and necessities.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Dmitri could've been a genuinely heroic figure if he wasn't so willing to commit misdeeds just to keep imprisoning people.
* DefiantToTheEnd: He doesn't go down without a fight in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]], wrestling Henry after being shot until the latter threw him off the airship.
* DemotedToExtra: Goes from the BigBad of ''Complex'' to appearing in only one pathway/two endings of ''Mission'', which begs the question of what happens to him otherwise. (The ''Presumed Dead'' routes can be justified by him not knowing Henry's still alive, but otherwise he should have reason to try and hunt Henry down).
* {{Determinator}}: In [[spoiler:''Thief/Allies'']] where he's relentlessly chasing after Henry and Ellie as revenge for causing the prison riot in his complex, even after being smacked with a stop sign, losing a few teeth and getting stuck with a lisp.
* DetrimentalDetermination: Dmitri's adamant chase after Henry and Ellie in ''Mission'' ends up causing losses to his men, and ultimately [[spoiler:his and Grigori's death]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: He can only react with brief confusion before getting whacked by Ellie in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Going after Henry and Ellie in "Thief/Allies" proves to be a really bad idea, especially considering they were going to ask the Toppat Clan to let them join, and they are currently fighting against a government raid. Dmitri falling victim to RevengeBeforeReason causes his undoing]].
* DirtyCop: Dirty Warden, in this case. Some of his shady dealings involve arresting criminals who have been either pardoned, done something inoffensive or are straight-up innocent. There's also the path of destruction he's willing to leave behind in [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits/Pardoned Pals'']] just to catch two convicts, which is arguably worse than anything the Wall prisoners did.
* DisneyVillainDeath: ''Mission''[='s=] [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']] ending has him meet his doom by having Henry chuck him off [[spoiler:the Toppats' launching rocket]].
* TheDreaded: Implied. There hasn't been a breakout or incident in the Wall in all the years he's been in charge, which could suggest he has a reputation among the convicts and they fear what he might do to them if they try to escape.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Picks this up in ''Mission'' after Ellie smashed his face in at the end of the [[spoiler:''Convict Allies'']] route.
* EmergingFromTheShadows: He first appears in front of Henry after hiding in the shadows to welcome him to the Wall.
* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: The Energetic to Grigori's Soft-spoken.
* EnragedByIdiocy: He gets angry at his workers at the end of the Charge Tackle route for failing to capture Henry.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Averted. Even though he is officially described and named as "The Warden", a diploma certificate seen in his office during the Charge Tackle route and his official bio in The Henry Stickmin Collection fully gives out his name as Dmitri Johannes Petrov.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Implied. In [[spoiler:Convict Allies]], Dmitri catches Henry as he's trying to leave with Ellie on a motorbike, and she uses it to drive away. While it's unclear whether he noticed that or not, Dmitri clearly didn't expect Ellie to come back and whack him with a stop sign, probably thinking she was willing to leave Henry behind.
* EvilCounterpart: He can be seen as one to General Hubert Galeforce:
** Both are among the oldest characters in the series. Galeforce is a CoolOldGuy while Dmitri is an [[EvilOldFolks Evil Old Folk]].
** While Galeforce is the BigGood of the series overall as one of the high-ranking military officers in the US government, Dmitri is one of the {{Big Bad}}s and runs the gulag-like prison known as the Wall.
** Galeforce cares about all his underlings' well-being; Dmitri is a callous BadBoss to all his workers (except Grigori) and has a WeHaveReserves mindset.
** Both of them play the role of a HeroAntagonist to Henry's VillainProtagonist, but while Galeforce is a morally upstanding person and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, [[KnightTemplar Dmitri]] is far more willing to resort to violence against anybody if it means he gets to imprison a convict, not to mention ordering his men to fire on the Government just to do so.
** Galeforce fights to bring criminals ForGreatJustice, whereas Dmitri mostly cares about his job because it brings him PR points.
* EvilGloating: Done by him in the intro for Complex, claiming that Henry will be at the Wall for a long time.
* EvilHero: Is the warden of a prison complex, but he serves as the BigBad of ''Complex'' and a lot of his dealings are rather suspect.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: The opening of ''Complex'' has Henry meeting Dmitri in a dark room illuminated by a single light. It is possible that Dmitri does this with every new convict brought to his prison complex.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He's not the most personable warden, as we see him talk down his men for no reason.
** A lot of the prisoners in his complex have been convicted for silly reasons (and some are even innocent), despite Dmitri himself claiming the opposite.
* EvilOldFolks: Considering he's been the Wall's warden for 50 years, he has to be older than 70 at the least.
* EvilVirtues:
** '''Ambition'''. Dmitri desires to become known as a fearsome warden by any means necessary.
** '''Determination'''. His appearance in ''Mission'' showed him to be willing to do anything to achieve his goals, even if the circumstances are dangerously suicidal.
** '''Strength'''. For an old man, he sure is a formidable fighter.
** '''Valor'''. He never once displays any sign of being a DirtyCoward. Even a government and criminal organization warzone doesn't faze him.
* EvilWearsBlack: His shoes are light black and he's one of the evilest characters in the series.
* ExactWords: If you go with The Wall at the end of the [[spoiler:''Thief/Allies'']] route, Henry and Ellie will surrender to Dmitri prompting him to say, "You two will never see the light of day again!". Well, he really meant it, since we see Henry and Ellie [[AndIMustScream frozen solid]].
* EyeScream: In [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']] ending of ''Mission'', he gets shot in his left eye.
* FaceFramedInShadow: When he first appears in front of Henry, his entire face is hidden in darkness before he emerges.
* FailedASpotCheck: At the climax of [[spoiler:Convict Allies]], Dmitri knocks Henry off a motorcycle and pins him down. While he's going on about how Henry is going to regret causing the PrisonRiot, he failed to notice Ellie ride the bike, come up and smacks him with a stop sign.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: He doesn't succeed in his goal of imprisoning Henry in any endings of ''Complex'' and [[spoiler:his sole appearance in ''Mission'' ends with him dying in both endings of the route]].
* FatalFlaw: His {{Pride}}. Dmitri takes pride of the Wall's 50 years streak with no incidents under his leadership, so he assumes Henry can't escape (which the audience knows is very, very wrong). His pride being shattered by Henry's and Ellie's escape also leads to [[spoiler:his and Grigori's death.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Although polite during casual conversation, he's completely ''pissed'' if even one person breaks out of his complex. And not to mention the [[spoiler:''Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits'']], where he sends ''a few tanks'' after ''two people'', WouldHitAGirl, and allows his people to attack the Government.
* FinalBoss:
** For both the [[spoiler:''Convict Allies'']] and [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']] endings in ''Complex'', as the last set of choices in both involve him -- the former having him [[spoiler: pin Henry down before Ellie saves him with a sign]], and the latter has him about to [[spoiler:send Henry plummeting off the cliff to his death]], [[spoiler:ultimately kicking the prison vehicle Henry hijacked over the cliff edge (though unbeknownst to the Warden, Henry survives)]].
** [[spoiler:He also serves as this in the ''Toppat Recruits'' and ''Pardoned Pals'' routes of ''Mission''; the only routes in which he makes an appearance.]]
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: After being seemingly shot to death in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]], you can see one of his eyes briefly blink, signaling that he's NotQuiteDead.
* FuryFueledFoolishness: His anger at Henry and Ellie for causing a prison riot in his complex comes to bite him in [[spoiler:Thief/Allies]] where he pursues them into the Toppats base and ends up dying by Henry's hands.
* GenreSavvy: Given how [[SarcasmMode spectacularly]] things end for him in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits and Pardoned Pals]], staying away from Henry (and Ellie) in the other routes due to their alliance with the Toppats or the government was a wise move.
* GivenNameReveal: His full name was revealed long before the Collection came out, on his diploma in the Charge Tackle route.
* GloryHound: Admits in ''Mission'' that he only cares for his job because he used it to build a great reputation.
* GrinOfAudacity: Displays one as he's telling Henry he's going to be imprisoned for a long time. He's wrong, of course.
* HairTriggerTemper: He gets easily pissed off if a prisoner manages to escape his complex, or if his employees fail to follow orders.
* HardHead: Took a stop sign to the face in [[spoiler:''Allies'']] and suffered nothing but a minor loss of teeth and a lisp.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Dmitri's methods in ''Mission'' to capture Henry and Ellie leaves behind mass destruction, costs many lives and is worse than anything criminals he imprisoned could've done.
* HeroKiller: In one route from ''Complex'', he has Henry at his mercy stuck in a truck by a ledge. When Henry refuses to go back to the Wall, Dmitri pushes the truck off, taking Henry with it. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out Henry survived]].
* HiddenDepths: Dmitri seems like a BadBoss who cares little for his employees and inmates alike, but there are hints to him actually being an efficient warden because of it, those being his claim to have a reputation and the certificate in his office.
* HitlerCam: He's shown from a low angle in the opening of "Complex" while telling Henry he'll be imprisoned for a long time with a massive grin, making him look sinister.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His decision to imprison Henry at his complex leads to an all-out riot in one route, and one of the follow-up scenarios is [[spoiler:Dmitri's own death]].
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Implied by his rant in [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']], where he claims that the PrisonRiot Henry and Ellie caused made him lose everything.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He has no problem locking up people for various offenses, but showed himself to be willing to get worse than any of his convicts just to catch two fugitives.
* ImplacableMan: During [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits/Pardoned Pals'']], he vengefully goes after Henry and Ellie and stops at nothing to capture them, from going into a warzone between the Government and the Toppats, and even surviving being shot to knock out Ellie and fight Henry. He only dies after the latter overpowers him and kills him.
* InspectorJavert: If we look at the ''Government Supported Private Investigator'' and ''Relentless Bounty Hunter'' endings of ''Airship'' and assume Henry hasn't done anything wrong in-between it and the beginning of ''Complex'', it would appear Dmitri captured him while disregarding the pardon given to him by the government.
* {{Irony}}: He gets mad at his men for failing to capture/kill Henry in [[spoiler:Presumed Dead]], even stating that the damages will be paid out of their paychecks. However, he also failed to kill Henry him, as he clung to the side and waited until they left to escape.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His main concern while pursuing Henry and Ellie in ''Mission'' is that they ruined his reputation as a good warden.
* ItsPersonal: He seriously did not like Henry and Ellie escaping from his complex, to the point where he's all too willing to venture into a territory where the government is fighting against a criminal organization.
* JerkassToOne: Inverted. He's callous towards everyone except for [[TheDragon Grigori]].
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: As stated above, it's unclear at first how evil he really is, considering he's imprisoning criminals but the state of his complex is comparable to a gulag. Come the endings where he orders his men to shoot government soldiers and it's revealed he goes after people wanted by said government and with disregard to existing pardons, it's clearer that Dmitri is not very heroic.
* KarmaHoudini: With Dmitri only appearing in one pathway of ''Mission'' (Thief/Allies, [[spoiler:wherein he perishes in both of its endings]]), he otherwise gets away with running the Wall like a gulag and imprisoning innocent people.
* KickTheDog:
** His mistreatment of his employees even after they were injured/killed.
** Some of the people in his complex are actually '''innocent''', meaning he locked them up unlawfully.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Thrown off the Toppat rocket ship by Henry in ''Toppat Recruits'', and goes down with said rocket in ''Pardoned Pals'']].
* KnightOfCerebus: He has '''no''' comedic moments, compared to everyone else.
* KnightTemplar: Considering that his organization captures criminals without regard to existing government pardons, and actively attacks governments' militaries if they're in his way, it's safe to call Dmitri one.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: One possible explanation for Dmitri not going after Henry in routes where he's allied with the government or the Toppat Clan is because they're too powerful and make it risky to recapture Henry.
* LackOfEmpathy: Especially towards his employees. He has no concern for them in one route as long as Henry and Ellie are caught.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In all other routes, Henry escapes, but Dmitri never receives comeuppance for his shady dealings. Only exceptions being in [[spoiler:''Convict Allies'']] where Henry and Ellie cause an all-out riot in the complex that allows inmates to escape, and in [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits''/''Pardoned Pals'' where he's killed by Henry]].
* LastBreathBullet: Knocks out Ellie and tries to kill Henry in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]] after being shot at by the two, then Henry overpowers him and throws him off the Toppat rocket to his death.
* LastSecondVillainRecovery: Despite being seemingly shot to death in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]], Dmitri somehow managed to punch Ellie unconscious and fight Henry. He still dies by his hands, though.
* MadeOfIron: In the ''Allies'' route he's smacked with a stop sign at highway speeds, which only knocks him out and costs him a few teeth. [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] In [[spoiler:the ''Toppat Recruits'' ending, where he survives getting shot with an AK-47, knocks Ellie unconscious, and engages Henry in a fist fight. Only when Henry tosses him from the rocket does he finally perish]].
* MoralMyopia: He sees no issue with breaking the law himself while imprisoning people who have done far less hideous things.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Dmitri is evidently Russian, and surprisingly very resilient. [[spoiler: In ''Toppat Recruits'', he survives being shot with an AK (while his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Grigori does not), he's able to knock out Ellie AND engage Henry in a fight. Henry had to throw him out of the rocket to finally kill him]].
* {{Narcissist}}: You'd have to be one if you can ignore that your whole institution is suffering from a major crisis like a prison riot, and instead focus on pursuing the two people who started it to the middle of a warzone, all because your reputation was ruined.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:At the climax of the ''Toppat Recruits'' route, despite having been shot with an AK-47 moments prior he defeats Henry in mere seconds and starts choking him. If not for Henry dodging his punch, Dmitri would have killed Henry]].
* NeverMessWithGranny: Gender-inverted. He's still dangerous even if he is an old man.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: At the end of [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']], Henry is stuck in one of the Wall's truck by a ledge after he rammed one of the vehicles pursuing him. Dmitri arrives and gives him the SadisticChoice of either staying in there as he pushes the truck, or going back with them to the complex. Henry chooses the first, and due to Dmitri's stalling, he was able to hang on and pull himself up once they left believing him to be dead.
* NominalHero: He's technically on the good side of the fence, being a warden whose job is to lock up criminals like Henry...but he seems mostly in it just to have a good reputation.
* NonActionBigBad: For most routes in ''Complex'', Dmitri doesn't come into direct conflict with Henry and/or Ellie. Gets averted in ''Mission'', where he fights Henry in the [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']] ending.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He's definitely not messing around in the [[spoiler:''Thief/Allies'']] route, sending his entire squad in the middle of a government fight with the Toppats just to capture Henry and Ellie after they caused a PrisonRiot in his complex.
* NotQuiteDead: In the [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']] ending, [[spoiler:it seemed like he died when Henry and Ellie shoot him and Grigori with AK-47's. He survived, only to be thrown to his death by Henry]].
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Dmitri is the warden of The Wall, a prison complex holding many criminals. Normally anyone with such a job would be on the good side, but he's most definitely not, looking at the treatment of convicts and employees alike, not to mention him blatantly admitting he only cares about the job for the PR points it brings him.
* OffstageVillainy: As revealed by the prisoners' bio, Dmitri has already wrongfully imprisoned many people who are either petty criminals or outright innocent long before he captured Henry.
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The elderly antagonist to Henry's younger VillainProtagonist, though if you consider [[NominalHero Dmitri]] [[EvilOldFolks the villain]], this trope becomes inverted.
* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:Henry manages to survive Dmitri's SadisticChoice by TakingAThirdOption and hanging on the ledge then getting up after they went back to the Wall]].
* ThePawnsGoFirst: In both [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'' and ''Thief/Allies'']], Henry (and Ellie) have to deal with his men first before they take on him personally.
* PetTheDog: The trailer for ''Complex'' shows him to be very casual when talking to Grigori, quite unlike the no-nonsense attitude he has most of the time in the games.
* PhonyDegree: On the wall of his office, Dmitri has a certificate for achieving a diploma at school at the fictional University of Troika (a Russian folk dance that is referenced multiple times in the game with some songs). He also apparently has a certificate for simply being a good warden. It is unknown why he has a certificate specifically for this though 2 things can be inferred: Dmitri legitimately earned a certificate for being a good warden or the certificate was made by Dmitri or someone else and is meant to be more of a joke. Whatever it is, the certificate at the moment seems to be a simple visual gag that is hung in Dmitri's office for some reason.
* PlotArmor: [[spoiler:He survives in all ''Complex'' endings, and is alive in all ''Mission'' endings except for Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits]].
* PragmaticVillain: In the routes where he doesn't come after Henry, it's highly likely because he's allied with some powerful factions (Toppat Clan or Government), thus making his revenge very risky and costly.
* {{Pride}}: Dmitri rules the Wall with iron discipline and is prideful of the fact that under his leadership, no inmate escape or serious incident has occurred in the past 50 years.
* PrideBeforeAFall: His arrogance about the Wall's 50 years streak without incidents gets broken specifically in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]] where not only do Henry and Ellie escape, but they cause a huge prison riot to go down.
* PunchClockHero: Overlapping with NominalHero. Dmitri clearly isn't a heroic figure, it's just his job as a prison warden to go after criminals. At the end of the day, he only cares about his reputation.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: The Wall is run by him, and he's a very strong and resilient fighter despite his age.
* RedOniBlueOni: The easily angered Red to Grigori's stoic Blue.
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:He did ''not'' take Henry and Ellie's escape from the Wall well in the Thieves/Allies route, to the point that he has all his forces move to a criminal organization's launch site, in the middle of a raid by the Government, and engages in battle with both ''just'' to catch them]].
* ReverseArmfold: He's depicted in this pose when you start up ''Complex'' in the Collection, as seen in his folder image. He also does this during the opening of "Complex" [[spoiler:Presumed Dead]] while presenting Henry the option to either stay in the truck as Dmitri pushes it off, or surrender and go back to the Wall with them.
* RiddleForTheAges: It's mostly likely that he's still alive in most of the endings of ''Complex'', but [[spoiler:Convict Allies]] leaves a bit more to ponder in regards to what happened to him and how did he deal with the prison outbreak after Henry and Ellie escaped.
* {{Sadist}}: His smirk in the opening of ''Complex'' indicates that he enjoys imprisoning criminals.
* SadisticChoice: Gives this to Henry during the [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']] route; [[MortonsFork either Henry stays in the truck and is pushed off the cliff to his death, or surrenders and returns to the complex]]. [[spoiler: Henry picks the first option, but manages to save himself by grabbing onto the cliff edge]].
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Henry's and Ellie's escape in Convict Allies and the ensuing prison riot does a number on Dmitri to the point where he's willing to do anything to get back at them]].
* SecretlySelfish: At first, it seems like Dmitri, despite his methods, is actually all for enforcing the law. But then ''Mission'' revealed that he only does what he does to have a reputation, to the point where he's willing to wrongfully imprison innocent people.
* SelectiveEnforcement: In [[spoiler:''Thief/Allies'']], despite ending up in the Toppat Orbital Station, the newest base to a big criminal syndicate, Dmitri will leave the premises once he captures Henry and Ellie (as shown in a fail). It's likely a result of his anger being fixated on the two for what they did to him.
* SelectiveObliviousness: If Henry hadn't actually done anything wrong after the ''Airship'' endings where he was pardoned by the US government, then Dmitri opting to imprison him at the Wall anyway counts as this.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: As a prison warden, he's supposed to enforce the law, but has no problem breaking it while imprisoning convicts.
* ShadowArchetype: He represents how [[BigGood General Galeforce]] would be like if he was a more ruthless and underhanded law enforcer.
* SkewedPriorities: He seemingly put his revenge against Henry and Ellie before taking care of his complex that went through a prison riot.
* SlaveToPR: Implied. While [[spoiler:confronting Henry at the end of ''Toppat Recruits'']], Dmitri reveals that he's livid that Henry and Ellie ruined the reputation he built for fifty years running the Wall with no incidents.
* SmugSnake: He acts all smug when Henry is at his mercy.
* TheSociopath: Dmitri checks out everything on the list with his selfishness, LackOfEmpathy, paper thin affable demeanor and violence.
* SoftSpokenSadist: In ''Complex'', he speaks in a poised manner most of the time, except when he gets angry.
* SoreLoser: He doesn't take the prison riot and Henry's and Ellie's escape in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]] very well, and pursues them relentlessly for revenge in one route.
* SpannerInTheWorks: If Henry picks the option to play dead in ''Complex'', Dmitri will order Grigori to "put them with the others", then Grigori throws him out, leading to a fail.
* StartXToStopX: In order to uphold the law and lock up criminals, Dmitri does anything, even breaking the law itself, to achieve it, from ignoring government pardons to leaving a path of destruction in his way.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: All the endings of ''Complex'' have Dmitri alive, but in ''Mission'', [[spoiler:he has one appearance in path with two endings, both of which has him die]].
* SurroundedByIdiots: During the [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']] route, he had this to say to his employees when informed of Henry's escape ([[JerkassHasAPoint and it seems to be on the spot]] since all of them failed to catch Henry and Dmitri himself had to come):
-->'''Dmitri:''' Attention, we have an escaped convict. He was last seen headed towards the surface. Don't make me do this myself.
* TemptingFate: "You're going to be here for a long time." It only took a few seconds later for Henry to escape and potentially cause a PrisonRiot (the first incident in the Wall for 50 years!) in one of the routes.
** Also when he tackles Henry in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]], he says that Henry is going to regret causing the PrisonRiot, only to be interrupted mid-sentence by Ellie wielding a stop sign.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Out of the series' main cast, he can be seen as the most villainous and reprehensible, as even Henry, Ellie, Reginald and Right Hand Man can have more consistently pleasant moments.
* TheToothHurts: Along with acquiring a lisp after Ellie smashed his face with a stop sign at the end of [[spoiler:''Allies'']], he also lost a couple of his teeth.
* TranquilFury: One time during the [[spoiler: Presumed Dead]] route. When informed of Henry's escape, Dmitri's expression hardens and he starts seething, then it immediately cuts to him making a calm announcement to his employees to keep a lookout for Henry.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Despite knowing of Henry's criminal history beforehand, Dmitri is confident that he wouldn't be able to escape his complex, which proves to be his undoing as [[ForegoneConclusion we know Henry will escape]].
* TheUnfettered: Not even going into a criminal territory that is being raided by the government stops him from going after Henry and Ellie. He still sends in his squad ''and'' follows them personally.
* TheUnfought: Dmitri doesn't engage Henry or Ellie in a fight in all of ''Complex'' endings. [[spoiler:In Toppat Recruits, he knocks Ellie out then gets into a fight with Henry, almost winning until Henry got the upper hand and killed him]].
* VigilanteExecution: Tries to pull one on Henry in [[spoiler:Presumed Dead]] after he refuses to surrender and go back to the Wall by pushing him off a ledge in a truck, [[spoiler:though Henry survives]].
* VigilanteInjustice: Considering the two endings of ''Airship'' where Henry is pardoned by the government, any action Dmitri takes against him afterwards is this.
* VigilanteMan: Dmitri takes it upon himself to come after criminals even if he's breaking the law himself, such as when imprisoning pardoned criminals.
* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Dmitri is the KnightOfCerebus BigBad while his underlings are more humorous (Except for [[NoNonsenseNemesis Grigori]]).
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: In this video game series primarily centered around comedy with silly characters (heroes and villains alike), the warden of the Wall stands out as the only one who's consistently sadistic and dark.
* VilerNewVillain: Dmitri contrasts with the previous antagonists that Henry has faced in many ways: He's not an honest HeroAntagonist like Galeforce and not a NobleDemon like Reginald, and even though Right Hand Man is serious-minded, he at least has his share of comedic moments and redeeming qualities.
* VillainBall:
** Catching Henry off guard in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]] but ranting at him instead of taking him back to a cell, allowing Ellie to come and save Henry.
** Playing with his food by teasing Henry in [[spoiler:Presumed Dead]] with a SadisticChoice instead of immediately killing him, allowing Henry to fake his death and escape.
** He manages to knock out Ellie and get the upper hand in his fight with Henry in [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]] but his VillainousBreakdown moment allows Henry to retaliate and kill him off.
* VillainNoLongerIdle: In [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']], when informed of Henry's escape, he first orders his men to catch him. They fail to do so and Henry manages to get a good distance away before the truck he was driving got tipped over an edge, at which point Dmitri arrives in his car and gives Henry the SadisticChoice of either staying in the truck or coming back with them to the complex. Henry chooses the former and the warden pushes the truck over the edge with his foot then leaves, unaware that Henry survived.
* VillainousBreakdown:
** Has a minor one in the [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']] route after Henry's escape is reported to him; he gets visibly enraged, though seems to have calmed down when he arrives at the cliff edge.
** At the end of the [[spoiler:''Convict Allies'']] route, he is utterly livid after Henry and Ellie's escape efforts start the first PrisonRiot at the Wall in fifty years. He tackles Henry to the ground and states that Henry's going to regret instigating the riot, but he gets whacked with a street sign, courtesy of Ellie, before he can say or do anything else.
** Losing his reputation (and some of his teeth) in ''Allies'' did a number on him in ''Mission'', given he orders his forces to chase Henry and Ellie into the middle of a warzone and attack both the Toppats and the Government ''just to catch them''. [[spoiler:If you decide to go for the ''Toppat Recruits'' ending, after being shot with an AK-47 and seeing his foes about to escape into outer space, he ''snaps'' and knocks out Ellie before trying to kill Henry.]]
--->'''Dmitri:''' [[spoiler:You've taken everything from me. My reputation is ruined. [[RussianReversal Now I will ruin you!]]]]
* VillainousFriendship: He seems to have this with his top enforcer Grigori, the only known person that Dmitri speaks casually to.
* VillainousValor: Truth be told, despite being the oldest villain, he, like the Right Hand Man, is not afraid of anything, including going into the battlefield himself.
* VillainRespect: He seems genuinely impressed with Henry being the first person to ever escape The Wall in the [[spoiler: ''Presumed Dead'']] route. Though it's justifiably subverted in [[spoiler:Convict Allies]] because Henry's and Ellie's escapade allowed other prisoners to escape and caused a huge riot, leaving Dmitri very angry at the two.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: It's implied by what he says in the [[spoiler:''Toppat Recruits'']] ending of ''Mission'' that despite his gulag-like methods and [[AllCrimesAreEqual imprisonment of convicts regardless of the crime they committed]], Dmitri has had a reputation as a good warden, and he even has a certificate in his office that indicates this.
* WardensAreEvil: And how! If the tropes above and below describing his gulag-like tactics weren't enough to indicate this, we don't know what is! He may be up against [[VillainProtagonist Henry]], but that doesn't necessarily make him good. He still locks up tons of prisoners for various crimes regardless of severity.
* WeHaveReserves: In [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']], Dmitri is not at all bothered by the guards that were killed by Henry beforehand, as he presumably can just hire new ones.
** This attitude carries over during his appearance in ''Mission'', where he sends in a whole tank squad in the middle of the fight between the Toppat Clan and the US government to catch Henry and Ellie, which potentially killed some of the Wall workers.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim:
** The Charge Tackle route has Henry at Dmitri's mercy, hanging in a truck over a ledge. Instead of immediately pushing the truck off, Dmitri makes an offer to Henry to either stay there or go back with them, thus giving Henry time to grab on once pushed off and leave the area after they left.
** [[spoiler:And again in ''Mission'' in Toppat Recruits. Dmitri gets a good opening by knocking Ellie out cold, then getting Henry in a chokehold (An impressive feat considering he's been riddled with bullets by the two moments prior), but his anger causes him to rant at Henry about his ruined reputation instead of immediately killing him off, allowing the thief to flip the situation in his favor and kill Dmitri instead]].
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Henry one toward the end of the [[spoiler:''Presumed Dead'']] route, admitting that he's impressed that Henry is the first person to ever escape The Wall.
* WouldHitAGirl: Hits and knocks out Ellie in the [[spoiler:Toppat Recruits]] ending.
* XanatosGambit: The SadisticChoice he gives to Henry ends with either the latter's death or recapture. [[spoiler:Henry still manages to overcome it by making it look like he's dead when Dmitri pushes him off the ledge]].
* YouAreWhatYouHate: His job is to capture criminals and he hates them with a passion, yet he's shown engaging in unlawful endeavors himself.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Downplayed in [[spoiler:''Presemed Dead'']], where he tells his employees that their paychecks will be cut to compensate for what Henry's escape attempt, since they failed to capture him and Dmitri had to come and intervene himself, [[spoiler:though unbeknownst to him, he ironically failed to kill Henry as well]].

A snowman. Apparently, it is imprisoned in the Wall and considered a dangerous convict.
