伊万·梅尔基赫
政党：伊万 梅尔基赫派
意识形态：专制主义（军政府专制）
•酷吏
o部队外出劫掠都是有战利品指标的。如果谁达不到指标就要被处决。
当他的军队在与自由飞行员的战斗中失败时，他把其中一个士兵从直升机上扔了下来。
•“我们”的领袖：他将自己塑造成一个与俄罗斯人民一道的，从沙皇、国社和塔博里茨基的魔爪下死里逃生的俄罗斯人。
•脱缰野马：他不在乎什么帝国卫队的名号，更不在乎塔博里茨基的死活。意识到拉里奥诺夫没戏后，他就自立门户，为自己而战。
•土匪头子：梅尔基赫是一个彻头彻尾的土匪，乐忠于打家劫舍，而且还把自己比作自然界的掠食者。
•作威作福：塔博里茨基的空军元帅，除了带着自己的残部劫掠以一无是处。
•历史典故：伊万·梅尔基赫和维克托·拉里奥诺夫一样，是OTL中塔博里茨基创立的NORM组织的领导人之一。
•屑人更屑：伊万·梅尔基赫在OTL中也同国社合作，塔博里茨基（Taboritsky）和拉里奥诺夫（Larinov）和他是诺姆诺特（Normanote）的三位领导人，这个组织是OTL中·塔博里茨基（Taboritsky）创立的一个棒束主义组织。在TNO中，他是塔博里茨基的安全部长，并最终成为帝国卫队空降部队的领导人，在子夜的俄罗斯，他是土匪之王。
•纯粹的匪徒：如果梅尔基赫统一俄罗斯，他根本就不想要任何国家来承认他的政府。因此他可以安心当个土匪王，而不用维持一副伪善的面孔。
•落荒而逃：在被暗夜女巫打的损失惨重时，梅尔基赫不情愿地下达了愤怒的撤退命令。
•嘴皮子功夫他以自己是俄罗斯大地的“天空主宰”而沾沾自喜，但然而当他碰到自由飞行员这个硬钉子的时候，他和他的部队还是落荒而逃了。
•投机分子：他在塔博里茨基死后快速的自立门户，表明他从未真正对勃艮第体制感冒。
•气急败坏：在被自由飞行员击败后，他愤怒的叫嚣着要夺回对天空的控制权，这让他的士兵们心生惶恐与不安。
•虚心假意：他曾经服从摄政王的命令，尽管他并不热衷于他的事业，也不相信他所宣传的东西。子夜之后，他立刻对塔博里茨基和拉里奥诺夫冷嘲热讽。
•以开路太油：尽管表面上没有抛弃俄罗斯，但和帝国财团一样，他也不屑于听从一个将死帝国的命令。他另立门户，为自己而战。
•自命不凡：梅尔基赫以自己从塔博里茨基的手下幸存而沾沾自喜，并且自诩自己是一名掠食者，可以依靠其独特的空中优势消灭一切敌人。虽然这对一些小军阀来说的确如此，但他的军队却被救赎黑色联盟的高射炮撕成碎片，败给了冬将军，被自由飞行员打得落花流水。在关于帝国空降旅的事件结束时，梅尔基赫愤怒地咆哮着要成为真正的天空之王，而他的士兵们心里则起了嘀咕。
•烟瘾：他的肖像就是抬头看着灰暗的天空，嘴里吸着烟，一副若有所思的样子。
•洋洋得意：由于拥有一支直升机和飞机联队，他对自己当军阀的军事能力相当自信。一旦他和除了村民以外的正规部队碰一碰的时候，他的自卑心也就出来了。
Ivan Melkikh
Political Party: Kilka Melkikh
Ideology: Despotism
· Bad Boss:
o Units are sent out with expectation of bringing back spoils. If any are to return empty-handed, they end up executed.
o He throws one of his troops out of his helicopter as his army loses a dogfight against the Free Aviators.
· Determinator: He fashions himself as one, along with the Russian people, as they have all managed to survive the wrath of the Tsar, the Nazis, and Taboritsky.
· Dragon with an Agenda: He cared little for the HRE and was barely affected by the news of Taboritsky's death. Recognizing Larionov's government to be a lost cause, he launches operations for his own personal gain.
· For the Evulz: Melkikh became a bandit because he enjoys raiding and even compares himself to a predator.
· General Failure: The Air Marshal of Former Regime Personnel, yet fails to lead his men to any success past standard pillaging and raiding.
· Historical In-Joke: Ivan Melkikh, like Viktor Larionov, was one of the leaders of the NORM organization founded by OTL Taboritsky.
· Historical Villain Upgrade: Ivan Melkikh was an extremely minor German collaborator in our world, being one of three leaders of the NORMnote , a Fascist youth organization founded by OTL Taboritsky, alongside Taboritsky and Larionov. In TNO, he becomes Taboritsky's Security Minister and the eventual leader of the HRE's Airborne troops and a bandit king in post-Taboritsky Russia.
· Just a Gangster: If Melkikh re-conquers Russia, he will refuse to seek any international recognition for his state, giving himself an excuse to continue being a King of Thieves and not bother with political formalities.
· Know When to Fold 'Em: After losing significant numbers to the Night Witches, Melkikh reluctantly and angrily orders for his forces to retreat as quickly as they can.
· Miles Gloriosus: He prides himself on being "king of the skies", but when he encounters resistance from the Free Aviators, he orders his forces to fall back.
· Opportunistic Bastard: He takes advantage of Taboritsky's death to establish his own bandit fiefdom, revealing that he never truly cared about fulfilling his cause.
· Rage Breaking Point: Losing the dogfight against the Free Aviators drives him into a rage-fueled rant about his claim over the sky, much to his soldiers' shock and worry.
· Sarcastic Devotee: He obeyed the orders of the Regency, though wasn't fiercely devoted to the cause and propaganda. He wastes no time mocking Taboritsky and Larionov once the order collapses.
· Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Not physically leaving Russia behind, but like the Mercantile Consortium, he can't be bothered to listen to the orders of a dead empire and breaks away to embark on his own campaign.
· Small Name, Big Ego: Melkikh boasts himself to not only be a survivor, but also a predator, relying on his unique asset of aerial superiority to decimate his foes. While this works on smaller bases and warlords, his men are torn to shreds by AA guns from the Redeemed Black League, unable to overcome the winters of Russia, and are completely outclassed by the Free Aviators. By the end of the Imperial Airborne Brigades' events, Melkikh is seen angrily ranting about being the true king of the skies, as his men look on in utter bewilderment.
· Smoking Is Cool: Is introduced looking to the gray skies and contemplating his situation with a cigarette.
· Smug Snake: Rather confident in his capabilities as a warlord, thanks to having a fleet of helicopters and planes under his command. His self-assurance is challenged once he engages in forces stronger than small villages and starts losing battles.
