Adrik the Rusalki
These creatures are members of the the Boloto clan, a perverse and decrepit family which rules the town of Ust'ye Kem in Northern Russia without resistance.  The Imperials refused to tread near the town, by foot or by sea, and even in darkest of times, the Soviets refused to even acknowledge this town existed.  

All the Soviets, save one:  Alexander Mikoyan.  He disobeyed direct order from the SV-8, infiltrated the town as a poor peddler, befriended Adrik the Rusalki, and attacked the (barely) underground Temple of Dagon.  The combination of mythos magicks and high explosives tore a hole in the ceiling, letting the River Kem flood the chambers.  It's unknown if the Boloto Rusalki have recovered from the attacks, but their efforts were hampered with Mikoyan absconding with their idols and a number of other trinkets.  Rumor has it that only some of the items made it back to his masters in the SV-8.

Adrik would be considered a hybrid of the hybrid Rusalki.  He has never completed his full transformation and was largely ostracized for their society.  Befriending the human that he knew was far more powerful and destructive than his disguise led on allowed Adrik a chance at revenge, and to leave Ust've Kem.  Neither truly trusted the other, but over the years they've accomplished much together, as Alexander is a bit of a pariah himself among his Soviet people.    They have saved each other's lives countless times over the years, and it would be a shame to put the human down, but he has a knack for showing Adrik the far more villainous and corrupt sides of humanity, especially these "Nazis" who are doing something far more vile and evil in ashes of a city called Stalingrad...
