Notkin

Notkin is the leader of the children's gang, the Dualsouls. In the past, he was a close friend of Khan, the leader of the Dogheads, but they later had a falling out, and Taya ousted him from the polyhedron. Notkin assembled his own group, which has taken up residence in some vacant space in the Warehouses.

Notkin is not as gloomy as Khan. He is straightforward and quick-tempered, but easily appeased, and by nature rather good. However, he is aware of his power and the associated liability.

Notkin has a sprained foot, so his movements are limited. However, his men can dart all around the city, and they make a map of the infected areas every day.

Notkin is the first child to aid the Haruspex and helps him navigate his half-forgotten, suddenly-hostile hometown.

= Dualsouls = The Dualsouls are part of the urban adolescents who aid Notkin. This basically means they're homeless. By the beginning of the game, the tension between Dualsouls and their opponents, the Dogheads, has increased so that both sides are preparing for open war. However, since the beginning of the epidemic, the war is canceled.

The "second soul" of the Dualsouls refers to an animal living with the owner. Most Dualsouls "soul" is a dog, but the "soul" of Notkin is a cat.

= Notkin and Lisa = At the beginning of the game it is revealed that one of Dualsouls, Lisa, was a double agent - working simultaneously with the Dualsouls and bandits, and then decided to join the Dogheads. He played some dirty tricks: he stole money from the bandits, Powder from the Dualsouls, and most importantly poisoned one of the bandits and either poisoned or killed his former friend, a Doghead. When Notkin meets the Haruspex, he is furious and asks the hero to find and kill the traitor. Later, however, Notkin has taken back his request and, if the player decides to spare Lisa, Notkin is happier than he is upset.
