Captain Ravel

Captain Ravel (Капитан Равель) is a minor character in Pathologic and Pathologic 2, previous owner of the Shelter and the father of Lara Ravel. At the start of the game he is already deceased.

Description
Before his death, Captain Ravel had a promising career in the Army. He enlisted in the Fourth Army as a volunteer and had a reputation of being a staunch and fanatical supporter of his comrade, Alexander Block. He was killed some time before the events of the game (past spring, according to Lara in Pathologic 2) either in action or, as rumored, by execution.

The townsfolk held Captain Ravel in high regard. Being the only military man in the entire town, Ravel was respected for his demeanour and intelligent skills. Some described him as a tough man, "worth a battalion", possessing a strength to snap a bull with his bare hands.
