A [[Human]] man from [[Gavony]], the son of [[Modest Kordov]] and [[Nadezhda Kordova]] He is tall and lanky, and pale in every way possible - white-blonde hair, blue eyes so light they almost look white, gets a sunburn indoors if he sits near a window. Has simple brass-rimmed eyeglasses that are necessary for work, but he tries to avoid wearing them whenever possible. His eyesight is not quite good enough to get on without them, but he keeps trying anyway. Mitya is [[Lazhna Whitesmith|Fiska Skeingold]]’s best friend since childhood. He and Fiska met when they were about 4 and were very close when they were young, before Fiska was sent to [[Kessig Monastery]]. They remained in contact through sending letters and spent time together whenever she was in town. Their favorite pastime was taking long hikes near the river outside of town and fishing. He often calls her Fish or Fishy as a play on her name, which she pretends to hate. He admitted to being in love with her just as she was fleeing town, but in her haste to leave she didn't know what to say or how she felt in return. The status of their current relationship is complicated.
