Nikolai Kezanstav

Nikolai Kezanstav was a former Pekoponian friend of Romama's.

Biography
Nikolai was a bright boy who always enjoyed writing. He met Romama after Romama's escape pod crashed; this event was known to Pekoponians as the Tugunska event. Romama saved him shortly after waking up, and the two traveled around as friends. Nikolai became increasingly enthralled in the occult, and it eventually consumed him and his friendship with Romama. Used a piece of alien technology to transform Romama into a mindless fighter, later on tried to with Kirere, as well. Became a best-selling occult author, and through alien technology, an immortal. He was first defeated by Garuru, then resurfaced a short time later, badly wounded from the encounter with Garuru, and now with Rokiki Tai at his side. He was again defeated by the Keroro Platoon, and then died shortly after.

Personality
The personality of Nikolai as a child and an adult differ drastically. As a child he is anxious to know about the unknown, and curious about the world around him and all of its mysteries. This eventually becomes his obesession, leading to his personality shift. As an adult, he has become much colder, dedicating himself to collecting artifacts and learning about the unknown. He has even sacrificed Romama in this process, and distanced himself from his former brother. This version of Kezanstav hides a man who has been driven to near-insanity for power, an insanity that comes out when he seeks his revenge upon the platoon. His generally cool and gentlemanly exterior vanishes, and he is finally driven insane by power. He finally has a redeeming moment at the end of his life, however, reverting back to the original, kinda young man before dying.

Nikolai was first seen as an average-looking eleven-year-old boy, with blonde hair and green eyes. In his youth, he was often seen in period Russian dress. Later on, as an adult, he adopts a much more sophisticated look, with slicked back, short hair, and expensive watches and suits.

Later Appearances
After this showdown with Garuru, Kezanstav is badly injured, but not killed, due to being an immortal. He remains mainly hidden beneath a worn trenchcoat and heavy bandages, not revealing his injuries.
