Andrey Stamatin

Andrey Stamatin (Андрей Стаматин) is an architect from the Capital and the owner of a tavern in the Earth District. He is the elder twin brother of Peter Stamatin.

Description
A wild, fierce, and hedonistic man, but also energetic, buoyant, and jovial. Andrey acknowledges no authority, and is inclined to doubt any established premise and principle. As such, he has created many peculiar doctrines on the limits of human freedom. He seems to generally enjoy violence and fighting, even challenging the Haruspex to a "contest of life-taking." However, he hates it when someone "dares attack a woman", which is an actual reason he has got into fights that have ended in "bloodshed, massacres, and broken spines."

Consistent in any situation, a trait that allows him to create and build many unusual projects, but diffuses his talents by working chaotically and unstably. Andrey concedes to Peter in terms of creative talent, though is much more skilled in practical issues. Andrey cares for his brother above anyone else, but also claims that he maintains a close relationship with Eva Yan and his exotic dancers.

Background
Well-known architects from the Capital, both Stamatin brothers have designed famous buildings across the country, though they have worked together little. The Polyhedron is their second joint project.

Andrey specifically claims that he is "sentenced to death in four countries" for his architectural works: These creations were built by both Stamatins, but Andrey is "usually the one to take the beating."

The first dialogue between Andrey and the Bachelor reveals that they knew each other when they were students of Health Science—which he presumably left to pursue architecture—, and that they were involved in a bar fight together, apparently on the defending side.
