“Nice fucking vacation, huh?”
— Nikolai
Nikolai is a survivor featured in Dead Island found at the helicopter crash in the Resort that happens after the main quest Born to be Wild in chapter 3: Wheels of Steel. He was trying to escape the island on a helicopter when it malfunctioned and crashed in the Resort. He is first met sitting on a crate next to the downed helicopter during the main quest Black Hawk Down. The Hero must escort him to a nearby bunker close to the Lighthouse. Nikolai then gives the Hero the side quest A Voice from Above the Sky, in which the Hero must find Nikolai's comrade, Sergei Kletska, who is located at Nikolai's restaurant Café Kiev, and retrieve a new satellite phone. If leaving the bunker then returning, it is revealed that Nikolai has left the bunker, leaving his fate unknown.
Appearance[]
Nikolai is a middle aged man who's completely bald and clean shaven. Unlike most male survivors in the Resort, Nikolai is fully dressed with a black sleeveless t-shirt, a brown belt, black cargo pants, white socks, and black boots. He also wears a bandage wrap on his left arm, likely caused by the crash injuring him. In the Xbox 360 and PC versions, he wears a pair of sunglasses and a black backpack.

Trivia[]
- After the player escorts Nikolai to the bunker, Nikolai's voice changes for a line or two.
