Moth!Makarov who is not born moth hybrid.
secret moth...secret moooooth...
Secret Moth!Makarov who doesn't need night vision...who looks as human as his brother is...Both having different accents to their biology because of their moth sides...
SecretMoth!Makarov who relies on his sight the most...who can digest certain items comfortably even if it seems to his men that he has PICA instead of being a hybrid...
While trait presenting hybrids see him spray cologne with notes that harken to moth smell and think nothing of it...why would a human realize their neutral scent to them would smell like a moth to outsiders? Of course that also means the bat hybrids have long since trained themselves not to focus on scents like that for that reason...
Secretmoth!Makarov who is lighter than he looks...the way he can scale walls so well makes him as capable physically as the cat hybrids on Konni...but since he's still human-like stable, he has the strength to throw people around, made even worse when it feels like such a light person shouldn't have the strength but feeling it...the tension...the way things lock in their hands for a moment...the way all that power in that moment is being used right...
Secretmoth!Makarov who's jiu jitsu trained and will absolutely body you...Secretmoth!Makarov who pushes and pull enemies into their own allies gunfire, saving his own ammo but more able to frame things like people turning on each other than it being Konnis fault...
And the one who can confirm who it is? Nikolai.
Laswell presenting cloth to Nikolai after the whole shepherd-graves blunder is revealed and its faint. Pheromones that had barely been present but Makarov had always marked what was his, and what was his killed those Shadows...a few with their throats ripped out...and that was enough for Nikolai to scent the little bastard that was his brother on the operation.
Confirming two things. Konni has ways to compromise Shadow Company. And that Inner Circle Konni were in physical fucking contact with their leader compared to the way just contractors were padding the defenses of the organization
It was his little brother and its a stark reminder for Nikolai.
Of the two of them, Nikolai has always been good with his nose and controlling his instincts triggered by scent...but the younger moth...
Maybe this was the blood Nikolai needed to be convinced to finally bring his baby brother home. It has been so long since he's groomed a stubborn brats hair, of course not before teaching the mothling better.
ough you curse me my friend...do it again <3
