Sergei Andropov is a Russian peculiar who is a contortionist.
Biography[]
Pre-Series[]
According to Sergei, he comes from "land of frozen desert beyond Icy Waste." Sometime in the years after 1908, his village would be amongst the first to be attacked by hollowgasts. He managed to escape death by hiding in a butter churn, breathing through reeds of straw, but his brother was killed in the same house. He would eventually head to London to escape the hollows, where he likely spent the majority of the war. He was married and had a child, but both his wife and baby were taken by the wights a long time before Hollow City.
Sergei eventually met Balenciaga Wren and Althea Grimmelwald, and was one of the peculiar refugees who gathered in the Carnival Tourist Loop and used the frozen Peculiar Archives as a base of operations for resistance against the wights. He would help Miss Wren collect other peculiars who had been victims of the wights.
Hollow City[]
Sergei is performing in a freak show in the Carnival Tourist Loop when he meets Alma Peregrine's wards. Recognizing that Sergei is peculiar, they question him for Miss Wren's whereabouts, but he refuses to help them. He would meet them again in the Peculiar Archives, where he apologizes for his rude behavior. Along with the clown, he then tries to convince them to join the peculiar army against the wights.
They don't agree to it, since most of them simply wanted Miss Peregrine to be healed. He later joins them in looking through a Map of Days in the loop. After Caul shows himself, Sergei is captured by the wights along with all the other peculiars in the building. He would then be taken down to the London public transport and shoved into a train.
Library of Souls[]
Sergei attempts to run from the wights, but gets shot and is discovered by Addison MacHenry, Jacob Portman, and Emma Bloom. Though he tells them to leave him, Jacob picks him up and brings him onto a train that had recently come to a stop nearby. Emma tries to seal off the wound using her hands, which succeeds in stopping the bleeding, but he would still die if he didn't get to a hospital. A few minutes later, he gives them a photo of his wife and child, who were taken by the wights. Because the trio cannot take him with them due to his condition, they leave him behind on the train in hopes someone will find him and bring him to a hospital.
His current status is unknown, though even if he was brought to a hospital he would still be in danger of aging forward.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Sergei is a tall and very thin man with a mustache and glasses. Being a contortionist, he is also able to fit into small spaces and therefore creates a appearance resembling a piece of thread. Despite being ladder-long, he is very light and Jacob is easily able to pick him up and carry him.
Personality[]
Because of the attack on his village by hollows, he was mentally scarred and locks his emotions within. He is extremely proud to be a peculiar and wanted freedom for everyone who was a peculiar.
Peculiarity[]
Sergei is a contortionist, and can bend his body far past the normal limitations of flexibility. To achieve this, his bones can liquefy at will.[1]
