Alyosha

Alyosha is a Spartan Ranger who first appears in Metro Exodus, where he serves as the scout of Artyom's crew aboard the armoured train Aurora. He spent several years as a guard in Polis before joining the Rangers in search of adventure, and few in the Order match his skill at surviving the irradiated ruins of Moscow. One of the few who left Moscow with Artyom, Anna, Miller, Stepan, Duke and Tokarev after the Battle for D6, he treats the journey east as one more adventure and fancies himself a ladies' man who finds the girls 'irresistible'. He is shot when the Hansa armoured train intercepts the Aurora but recovers fully, and he takes a larger role in the Taiga chapter, scouting the Valley with Artyom until a landslide derails their railcar into the river and he is captured by the Children of the Forest.
