Boris Vasily Konstantin Andrei Myshkin Dolokhov is Baron Wulfenbach's four-armed secretary and administrative second-in-command. Boris is brilliant, loyal and completely humorless. He and the Jägers have a love/hate relationship, as in: They love to pick on him, he hates their attitude.
Boris and his eidetic memory had been happily serving as a palace librarian until his Duke, a twisted Spark, decided to give him a pair of extra arms, enhanced speed, strength and balance... to become the "ultimate juggler". His unhappy tenure as a jester ended when the Duke and a neighboring Prince violated the newly-established Baron's Peace and were promptly quashed. Boris himself was picked out of the victims survivors of the households by Baron Wulfenbach, and with Klaus's usual eye for "the right monster for the job", was set up in Administration, where he has succeeded brilliantly.
However, being part of the Baronial household is not without hazards. Boris's enhanced talents extend to swordwork as well, and at Baron Wulfenbach's side, he has faced far more unnatural Things than he cares to remember (not that he can forget anything anyway). Unnatural Things - which include the Jägers - disturb Boris's sense of tidiness and order, but it's far better than being an enslaved clown.
