Neither a saint, nor a scoundrel. The Barkeep knows his worth and is respected by all Pathfinders. Rumor has it he is hiding in the Zone from some dark events in his past.

Originally a Pathfinder himself, after an encounter with the anomaly he developed a limp and decided to change jobs. He set up an inn by the abandoned town of Rostok and the place gradually turned into the meeting point for all the Zone's veterans. The Barkeep has numerous connections both in the Zone and in the outside world.

He cooperates with Sidorovich in a mutual bid to open the roads to the center of the Zone.
