Pavel Belyayev
The current keeper of the Malory Bay Lighthouse, Pavel Belyayev is the son of Russian immigrants who came to Emerald City after World War II. After decades working fishing boats and the city docks, he took the lighthouse-keeper’s job some twelve years ago. It suits his largely solitary nature, and he intends to keep tending to his charge until he can’t any longer. Belyayev is a grizzled old salt. In his youth he was a big man, powerfully muscled, and some of that remains although he’s stooped with age and his hair has gone mostly white. He speaks fluent Russian but his English is only barely accented.
