Personality[]
Sholomenko is a coward, he lacks courage, because of this he is very submissive to both Rebecca and Dmitri. They both use fear as a form of control over him. He follows their every command as he knows opposing them would certainly mean his death. He's even resorted to eating vampire blood and guts in order to avoid any outrage or possibly displeasing Dmitri.
Abilities[]
With Sholomenko being human, he possesses no supernatural powers. He also lacks any kind of fighting experience, making him an easy target. However, as a doctor, he has acquired immense medical skills and training, making him a very useful in Dmitri's search to not only make vampires into daywalkers but to make them overall better. He also managed to alter Dylan's DNA and successfully transform her into a vampire.
