Kolya and Sasha

Kolya and Sasha are recurring antagonists in The Book of Falling by Rob Pegler. They are the bodyguards and chief henchmen of Johnny Fantôme.

Little is known about Kolya and Sasha's history, except that they are believed to be approximately three centuries old, and are siblings by birth (this is generally unusual in the vampire world, where the terms "brother" and "sister" are usually applied to younger vampires turned by the same master). Originally named Nikolai and Alexandra, they are probably Ukrainian by birth, and were founding members of the Krasnayaruka clan.

Kolya is an imposing figure, usually dressed in a black suit, and a vampire of very few words; he is generally seen as a lurking presence in the background unless the situation calls for violence, which he is capable of unleashing with a particularly efficient form of brutality. Sasha, on the other hand, is a deceptively innocent-looking girl whose beauty masks a sadistic savagery rarely encountered even in vampire circles. Johnny Fantôme is known to have a particular soft spot for Sasha, whom he often addresses as "my little girl".

Weapons of choice: Kolya carries an HK45 handgun in a shoulder holster, while Sasha prefers to use her own teeth and claws, or whatever edged weapons come to hand.

Kolya and Sasha first appeared in "Blood Will Out". They have also appeared in "Agenda" and "Molech and the Filth".
