The most notable thing about Sergei is that there is not much noticeable about him at first glance.

Rumours
- Sergei is a lot younger than he claims and his past in Russia is a lie, he is an imposter who adopted the persona of a once notable Russian Carthian.
- Sergei has a violent temper and has been known to dispose of academic rivals or those he has felt insulted by.
- Mr Lucan is watching Sergei because of his violent streak and 'unmanageable' anger issues.
- Sergei has acquired a staggering number of boons in a very short time since awakening. He is a kindred that gathers favours in much the same way a stray dog gathers fleas.
