![]() ![]() ![]() He had a duffel bag filled with weapons but the most prominent was a Dragunov sniper rifle, although none of them use it. He is present with Ulman when the duo picked Artyom up from the vestibule of Exhibition. In the novel, Pavel doesn't show up until near the end, and even then only making a minor appearance. As the rail car is drifting away the player can hear him yelling and firing his revolver, and shortly after, an explosion of a grenade is heard, following the words " Eat this!", giving evidence he sacrificed himself rather than be mauled to death and to save Artyom. Nearing the end of the level Depot, he was dragged out of the rail car that he and Artyom were riding in by a pack of nosalises. Pavel is greatly injured and is presumed to be KIA (Killed In Action). Stalwart and reliable, Pavel was a fair fighter and a textbook example of the sort of ranger whom, if in a situation of " damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don't," will always choose to go down swinging. Pavel told Artyom various bits of lore regarding the Tunnels they visited, and of the hazards thereon, as well as of previous encounters he has had in the tunnels. Pavel openly realized that many times, the unit he's in is well over its head, but tended to shrug it off, believing strongly that even if you get overwhelmed, gods be damned if you don't drag a few of your enemies down with you. Pavel was, like Ulman, talkative and intelligent, though a bit more realistic and subdued than his squad leader. At Ulman's behest, he split up with Ulman after discovering that Artyom was sent by Hunter, attempting to get Artyom to Polis through Nazi controlled territory. Pavel gave the downed Artyom a sip of his canteen, filled with Mushroom Vodka, to dull the pain of his injuries. Artyom first met Pavel after being saved by Ulman from being killed by two Nazi soldiers at the end of the Frontline level. ![]()
