* InTheHood
* ItsAllMyFault: Nikolai still has nightmares of Aleksander blaming him for not saving him in time.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: He beats captured Templars until they have given him all the information he desires. His fellow Assassins are actually disturbed by this at one point:
-->'''First Assassin''': "Are Brother Orelov's methods always so... savage?"
-->'''Second Assassin''': "He was a gentler man when I met him, years ago. Before they lost the child."

** 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.
* RetiredBadass: He leaves the Assassins to settle in America after recovering the last remaining splinter of the Russian Imperial Sceptre, which was a Staff of Eden. He is not pleased when the Assassins try to bring him back in to answer some questions.
