Dmitri Johannes Petrov (Russian: Дмитрий Йоханнес Петров) is a major antagonist in the Henry Stickmin series, who appears as the main antagonist of Fleeing the Complex and a major antagonist of Completing the Mission; specifically, he appears in the routes Convict Allies, Presumed Dead, Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits as the primary antagonist.

He is the warden of the prison complex called The Wall, which hosts some of the most cunning and notorious criminals in the world. After noticing Henry Stickmin's past crimes, Dmitri and his right hand Grigori Olyat imprison him in The Wall.

During Henry's escape, Dmitri and Grigori have a run-in with Henry (either solo or with fellow inmate Ellie Rose) on several occasions. Following Henry and Ellie's escape from The Wall, Dmitri and Grigori go to the Dogobogo Jungle during the fight between the Government and the Toppat Clan, to locate Henry and Ellie and return them to The Wall.

He is voiced by PuffballsUnited.

Bios

Personality and Relationships

Main article for this page/section: Dmitri Johannes Petrov/Personality and Relationships

Dmitri angry after finding out about Henry Stickmin's escape

Dmitri rules the Wall with iron discipline and is prideful of the fact that under his leadership, no inmate escape or serious incident has occurred in the past 50 years. He is a skilled and strong fighter, as seen during his confrontations with Henry. Unlike the other antagonists in the series, he isn’t particularly cartoonish, or one with redeeming qualities. All of his scenes are tense and entirely serious, with almost no comedic moments compared to every other main character in the series, making him one of the most sadistic characters in the entire Henry Stickmin series.

Dmitri seems to only care about having a good reputation by locking away as many convicts as possible. At the end of the Convict Allies route, he is utterly livid after Henry and Ellie's escape efforts start the first prison riot at the Wall in fifty years, and later on, he states that the reason he came back for revenge against Henry and Ellie in PP/TR (TR specifically) was because Henry ruined his 50-year long record/reputation. Despite his pride in his efficiency and job, he often locks away prisoners for ridiculous reasons, many of which are mostly innocent (e.g. Jack S'tickeye presumably being locked up for being loud and Mark Emu being locked up for laughing after saying he wouldn't).

Dmitri does not seem to care about his employees. In Presumed Dead, he says that he will cut out the paycheck of everyone, but never mentions the deaths of the two guards that were killed in action, neither the others that Henry killed. In Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits, he seems to prefer to take revenge on Henry and Ellie than fixing the complex left in a mess by the convicts and give proper treatment to the deceased guards, as he could just hire new ones.

Despite being evil, Dmitri never exactly leaves anyone to die in a trap. At the climax of the Presumed Dead ending, he slowly goes on and on about how Henry has two choices, instead of immediately pushing the truck over the cliff or telling his men to arrest Henry. This gives Henry time to grab onto the cliff face and, as soon as Dmitri assumes Henry is dead and heads back to the Wall, to pull himself up and escape. At the climax of the Toppat Recruits ending, he rants about his revenge on Henry (and his ruined reputation) instead of just throwing Henry off the rocket. As a result, Henry recovers enough to dodge Dmitri's punch and tosses him off the rocket to his death.

The International Rescue Operative ending throws his morality most into question. Presumably, it follows the endings where Henry allies with the government and is pardoned for his crimes. Unless Henry got into some shenanigans off-screen, this could very well mean the Warden ignored Henry's pardon and locked him up anyway. Further, the route shows that the Wall's soldiers are willing to fire on government agents.

Trivia

• Dmitri is the only main character in the entire series to have no comedic moments.
• He is one of the oldest characters shown in the series, the first and second being Ungus Bungus and Dusty respectively and the third presumably him at the age of 70.
• On the wall of his office, Dmitri has a certificate for achieving a diploma at school at the fictional University of Troika. Troika is a Russian folk dance that is referenced multiple times in the game with some songs.
• Dmitri Johannes Petrov along with Reginald Copperbottom and Right Hand Man, have an important role as the main antagonists.
  • He is more violent, serious and ruthless.
  • Has a great reputation in The Wall.
  • The only main antagonist who is completely serious and achieves his goals.
• The above-mentioned diploma is also the only way his name is ever revealed before The Henry Stickmin Collection. None of the characters call him by name during the game.
• He also apparently has a certificate for simply being a good warden. It is unknown why he has a certificate specifically for this though 2 things can be inferred.
  • Dmitri legitimately earned a certificate for being a good warden or the certificate was made by Dmitri or someone else and is meant to be more of a joke. Whatever it is, the certificate at the moment seems to be a simple visual gag that is hung in Dmitri's office for some reason.
• In part 1 of the Henry Stickmin Collection Developer Commentary, it was confirmed by PuffballsUnited that he is the reason so many employees at The Wall are Russian despite it being in Canada as Dmitri likes to hire more Russians.
• He possibly has the biggest role "demotion" in the entire series. Though he debuted as the main antagonist of Fleeing the Complex, his next appearance is limited to only one route.
• It is unknown, and never explained why he apparently never came after Henry (and Ellie) in any other pathways of Completing the Mission than "Pardoned Pals"/"Toppat Recruits." Though, it can be inferred why.
  • In all pathways continuing from "Presumed Dead" or "The Betrayed", Dmitri believes that Henry is killed and has no reason to pursue him further. Even in the case of Stickmin Space Resort, he may not have bothered with doing so at all, as his aerospace resources are limited to a single, small rocket.
  • In all pathways continuing from "Ghost Inmate," Henry escaped undetected, effectively denying Dmitri's search as it would be a waste of resources to recapture him.
  • Most pathways associated with "Government Supported Private Investigator"/"Relentless Bounty Hunter"/"Rapidly Promoted Executive" has Henry allying himself with a powerful faction, which makes Dmitri's revenge too risky.
• Despite having a small role in Completing the Mission, he is the only leader of a faction that Henry cannot ally with. Unlike the other factions (Government, Toppat Clan, Ellie), his main purpose is exclusively to either keep Henry locked up or kill him. Attempting to negotiate with him, by surrendering in either Fleeing the Complex or Completing the Mission, will result in Henry being locked up in maximum security and even frozen.
• Both Dmitri and Grigori have Russian accents. However, Grigori's accent is thicker than Dmitri's.
