Nikolai Gogol is one of the major antagonists in the Japanese Anime "Bungou Stray Dogs" - Nikolai is sadistic and loves to speak in great theatrics. One of his main traits is his tendency to pose questions (oftentimes rhetorical threats) as "quizzes". He is also skilled in disguises, deceiving Tonan as his secretary. He is impulsive, thrill-seeking, and indulges in all kinds of sensory pleasures. He is a terrorist, an outsider to society because for him that is the best method of being free.
